Celtics' Enes Kanter Freedom says he'd welcome sit-down with LeBron James on human rights abuses in China: 'I'm here to educate him'

BOSTON -- Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter Freedom said he would welcome the opportunity to speak to Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James -- who he has criticized, along with Nike, for hypocrisy due to not speaking out about human rights violations in China -- and "educate" him on the subject.

"Sure, I'd love to sit down and talk to him," Freedom said Tuesday after the Celtics' practice. "I'm sure it's going to be a very uncomfortable conversation for him. I don't know if he's gonna want that. I'll make that really comfortable for him.
