Dude needed a pandemic and a Bubble to become relevant. Might have been patient 0 if you think about it.

Great talent but soft and unambitious.

Also imagine LeBron using this fake chip to proclaim himself the GOAT begging for his respect.

League Pass question: does standard LP subscription give you access to full-length game replays (games from this season)?

Not gonna subscribe if I only get 10-minute replays with just made baskets.

I'm a pretty patriotic person and appreciate him speaking out against Communist China and Erdogan in Turkey but this is pretty cringe. But then again, I'm just a nobody doesn't that doesn't have to worry about dictators coming after me.

it does seem a little performative. even the stuff he was just doing with lebron and china. i mean, sure lebron is culpable in some sense. but so is everyone else who works with/buys/wears nike including the nba itself if we're going that route. the same nba that apologized to china when darly morey had the nerve to tweet free hong kong. why play for the nba then ? why not come out against them ? they're at blame too by this logic. at the end of the day, everyone is a hypocrite in some form or fashion. especially when money is involved.

Enes Freedom kinda like the free baskets the opposing offense can score when he’s on the court

Oh sure. Kanter is only playing like 11 MPG right now and this is went he decides to go after Lebron? I know they've never been friends but this is way more aggressive than the usual on court shenanigans. Seems like he's trying to to set up his post basketball life as some sort of activist, Fox News contributor, or maybe wrestling heel. It's certainly calculated move by Kanter.

Don't get me wrong either, most of Lebron's activism is really good. Him building that charter school was awesome. Which is why I found his blindspot when it comes to China very disappointing and worthy of being called out. He's not the only one either, Jamie Dimon had to apologize the other cuz he made some joke about China and he's the CEO of JP Morgan. Tim Cook basically quoted the CEO of IBM from the 1930's, talking about doing business in Nazi Germany, when asked about doing business in China. This stuff is way bigger then any of us. Like I do everything in my power to not buy goods made in china but when I cracked the screen on my old iPhone, you know I bought another iPhone. It's unfortunate that we don't really have any other options.

Can't really blame him though. Can't really get at the NBA if they're paying you and is the reason why he can escape the country he's not welcome in. Sure it's a little hypocritical but not everyone is willing to stand up for their beliefs if it means losing millions or their entire paycheck. What else is Kanter gonna do without the NBA? Not everyone can be Kyrie, who I think is dumb for giving up that much money. But hey, we can respect that he's not being a hypocrite?

You make 1 mistake against the Warriors and it's 3 points. They are definitely the favorites in the West If Klay is even 75% of what he used to be.
