The photo is classic Enes Kanter.
The Thunder center is posed between what appears to be a pair of security guards in the Bucharest, Romania, airport. His smile is wide. His tongue is out. His hands make a pair of peace signs.
He posted that picture to his Twitter account Saturday, aiming for a laugh, even in a moment that was uncertain and potentially serious.
By early evening, Kanter was in London, hopeful for a swift return to the United States. But he'd had a memorable 25th birthday, beginning with an hours-long detainment at the Bucharest airport that he said was tied to his political views about his native Turkey.
