It seemed innocent enough, NBA Europe putting up a social media post with a compilation of three Turkish players, asking which one was having the best season. But it was a player from Turkey who was left out, taking offense — Enes Kanter.
Kanter retweeted it twice, first commenting, “Wow! Scared to put my name up there lol
U scared little rats. Turkish #DictatorErdogan affects” He then added, “The Association is supposed to stand up for inclusion and human rights. Stop freaking [being] scared of a #Dictator and do what is right. I hope you learned from this lesson.
