Kanter: 'After I leave the court, the fight begins'

ONE OF THE first items on Enes Kanter's schedule when he joined the Portland Trail Blazers in February was a meeting with agents from the local FBI office -- just one among many ways Kanter's life is vastly different from any other NBA player's.

Kanter told the agents about the Interpol red notice that lists him as a wanted man and prohibits him from traveling safely outside the United States. He talked about the man he considers a dictator, Turkey's president Reccip Tayyip Erdogan, and Erdogan's near-pathological desire to see Kanter either imprisoned or dead.
