Lakers getting all they can take from Cleveland. Never been an “mvp” like LBJ

 

Why did LeBron want to hitch his wagon to the Lakers again?

Some of it has to do with his production company I'm sure. LeBron makes movies now too.

Good job NBA TV. You apparently hired two color guys who love rants, and won't let the play-by-play guy speak. Very annoying if you have the game on in the background while you're doing other stuff.

Was it the Players Only commentary? That is just atrocious. They don't even go to the arena. Just sitting in a studio watching the game on tv and talking over each other with nonsense.

Oh god was that game ever annoying to listen to. And they would just say "Players Only!" when throwing to every commercial break, with absolutely no explanation.

Since immigrating to the United States, Kanter has become a supporter of the Hizmet Movement of Fethullah Gülen, a persona non grata in Turkey. After the failed 2016 coup d'état attempt, Kanter heavily criticised Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Twitter, leading to the cancellation of his account in Turkey. Soon after the coup attempt in July, his father and his family publicly disowned him due to his political views and his support for Gülen, imploring him to change his surname, on August 8. Kanter stated that he loves Gülen "more than his family", informally changing his name to Enes Gülen.[52] His father was dismissed from his university position a few weeks later, via government decree numbered 272 on September 1, as part of 2016–17 Turkish purges.[53][54][55]

 

On May 20, 2017, Kanter's passport was cancelled by the Turkish embassy.[56][57] He was temporarily stranded in Romania, but eventually flew to London.[58][59] Six days after the cancellation of his passport, the Turkish government issued an arrest warrant for Kanter, accusing him of being a member of a "terror group".[60] Turkey said that charged citizens who fail to come to Turkey during September 2017 face revocation of citizenship; in September 2017, Kanter described himself as stateless.[61] According to Sports Illustrated, "Although Kanter might dismiss the Turkish arrest warrant as toothless, he faces the more impactful problem of being a man without a country."[62] It was revealed on December 20, 2017, that Turkish prosecutors were seeking more than four years in prison for Kanter, who would be tried in absentia.[63][64] In January 2019, he decided against travelling to London with the Knicks, fearing that his life could be in danger if he travelled to Europe

 

"I hope people around the world will open their eyes to the human rights abuses. Things have gotten very bad over the last year. This is not my opinion. We don’t know everything that is happening inside Turkey, but we do know some facts. Newspapers and media have been restricted. Academics have been fired. Peaceful protesting is not allowed. Many people have been imprisoned without any real charges. There are reports of torture and rape and worse." —Enes Kanter, The Players' Tribune, May 23, 2017[51]

 

Yeah, I think its pretty clear Turkey is just mad that a world famous personality is s***ing on their shithole country
