Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter is officially changing his name to Enes Kanter Freedom, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Kanter will now be his middle name. He officially becomes a U.S. citizen tomorrow.
Freedom has made headlines throughout this season with his social media campaigns against the poor treatment of Chinese laborers. Though his main target has been Nike, he has called out multiple NBA stars who represent the brand, such as LeBron James and Michael Jordan, in the process.
He will be earning U.S. citizenship after years of a broken relationship with his home country of Turkey.
