Boston Celtics: Enes Kanter continues busy offseason with WWE championship victory

It is a blessing to have NBA players that are willing to garner free publicity for your team. In the past two years, the Boston Celtics’ most vocal player was a round-earth denying oddball who chose to take to the media to take shots at teammates and praise a former superstar teammate he demanded a trade away from.

Luckily Kyrie Irving and his conflicted personality are the borough of Brooklyn’s to deal with now. Boston’s newest menace is the jive-talking Turk, and now former WWE 24/7 champion Enes Kanter.

During WWE Main Event, a show the company doesn’t even advertise anymore, Kanter pinned R-Truth following what we’ll call an STO to win the brand-new title that debuted earlier this year.
