He hadn’t played competitive basketball in two years, and the last time he had it was as a men among boys. Suddenly, a workout video emerged in the days before the 2011 NBA draft of Enes Kanter dunking from just below the free throw line and everywhere else.
Granted, it wasn’t against anything more than an imaginary orange cone, or chair, but it was enough to convince many a fan that Enes Kanter was their man heading into a soft draft.
Enes Kanter tossed out a #TBT (Throw-Back Thursday) today that reminded me that an eyebrow rose when the video first surfaced.
