Enes Kanter shoes in tonight’s game had LeBron bowing to China.

[Tracymcgoaty]

Trump Supporters and Lebron stans bumping heads... while both propping up egotistical sociopaths who both prop up Erdogan and Xi respectively, is unexpected comedy for a Saturday.

Haven't seen a single soul prop up anyone of those you mentioned. Also there is like 1 dude who denied what happens in Xinjiang.

Didn't you just brush off Trump trying to overthrow an election?

I didn't brush off anything i actually laughed when someone pointed that out. Actually forgot about that Not a US resident.

[ReddoverKobe]

Don't talk about Enes Kanter and his sacrifices.

Again, the guy has gone after 3 Right Wing authoritarian figures in the last 5 years:

Xi
Trump
Erdogan

Probably has a substantial amount of money on his head from the henchmen of those 3 figures alone.

By publicly going after Lebron and China, he's now risking his economic security with the league while making Nike angry as well.

Dude has some massive stones.

Why is he only calling out those 3? There are atrocities going on all over the world.

Somebody please enlighten me on how it takes stones to go after Trump when people did that for 4 years straight? Also someone please enlighten me on how Trump was an authoritarian figure during his time as president.

People have painted out Trump to be this dictator. Then what were his predecessors?

Sealion harder. This is kind of shameful to be honest.

Kanter is the hypocrite that he accuses Lebron of being. Kanter doesn't stand for human rights abuses committed by Western allies, he actively supports an apartheid state with over 50 years of occupation abuses. This is all theater and a possible ploy for relevancy. He knows he can score brownie points from right-wingers by attacking Lebron. You would think Lebron is the only person in history that has ever profited off the world's second largest economy with the way people single him out.

Which apartheid state does he actively support then. First and foremost, he takes clear position against an authritarian, borderline dictator guy in Erdogan, who has taken over power and destroys freedom, democracy and human rights one by one in turkey over many years now. They influence politics and use the religious leverage to blackmail other countries. Over here in germany he established a shadow government and encourages muslims to demonstrate against israel for example. That is who Kanter is opposing to, and Erdogan is known to incarcerate opponents without legal cause for years so Kanter knows better than to visit turkey. The state you refer to is the state Kanter fights, taking personal risks for himself and his family. So please stop spreading lies and misinformation.

Kanter isnt ever getting close to being the Basketball player LeBron is, that is correct. As a human being, and a political activist, its exactly the other way around.

Kanter is a Gulenist, a political cult that is everything he claims the CCP to be. Fethullah Gulen was a major player in Turkey's descent into an islamist right wing authoritarian nation characterized by journalistic suppression and the violation of freedom of expression, assembly, and association. He's the leader of the political cult that Kanter is a member of which was initially partners with Turkey's current leader Erdogan. Gulen lost a power struggle, left the nation and his supporters were suppressed. Kanter's problem with Turkish dictatorship started then.

USA wrecked all those countries, by bombing, they overthrown different regimes and they installed their own puppets to rule those countries , their proxies, they literally occupied Iraq and Afghanistan , they had forces in Syria, they turned Libya into the world capital of slave trading, the USA military is present in the entire Middle East region. Please don't start with Tibet, China have historic ties with Tibet , Chinese people live and have lived in that region too. What are those five countries that China have wrecked in the last 30 years, please show me freaking example. Something that was comparable to USA and NATO deeds in the last 30 years???

The only thing they did to Afghanistan was try to meddle in affairs and leave weaponry when the taliban came and had enough. Lmao

They also cooperate with PKK. i used to help my friend a kurd from Turkey gather money to help the PKK. I was young and didn't really know much about it but i remember they were shady as hell. Some real loose cannons. Really majority of the kurds i know dont like the PKK. They see them as extremists.

I mean they did more than meddle.

Whatever you think of Lebron's stance on China --- and I also think it was pretty bad and embarrassing --- it's still beyond ridiculous that a fellow NBA player is wearing shoes with Lebron bowing to China.

That isn't "speaking your mind" or "freedom of speech". I am surprised the league lets Kanter do this... imagine if it became a trend to mock other players.

I don't disagree. Kanter has been at this for years and he seems to be getting peak attention now that he dragged Bron into it. So that has to be the point from his perspective, to get attention on the cause. Which is a good aim and result.

But I'm uncomfortable with him mocking fellow players and wish he'd gone about it differently. Just seems like an affront to the NBA fraternity.

I'd be fine with him singling out a player, but only if that player deserves to be singled out. To single out a player for something the whole league is guilty of is a bad look.

But LeBron does deserve to be singled out. He was the player that stood up for China in the Morey incident.

Dude has some massive stones.

He's risking his economic security, as there's a non-zero chance he could eventually get blackballed from the NBA, but his life isn't in jeopardy unless he steps foot in Turkey or China.

You are smoking Crack if you think that is the case. Turkey would definitely send a hit squad after him and I wouldn't put it past China either.

I respect Kanter for speaking out against China, but so weird that he's singling out LeBron. He has teammates with Nike deals.

Yeah, it’s one thing to speak out which I respect, it’s another to just go after a fellow NBA player in this way. There’s better ways to go about this than pissing off coworkers and calling them out in public.

I agree somewhat…but somebody needed to call LeBron out on that RIDICULOUS comment about how Morey “had to get educated” about the issues surrounding Hong Kong.

For someone who want to view themselves as active in social justice issues, that was a pretty brutal own-goal.

For sure, but do it like a man, talk face to face. I’m no Uber Bron fan, I could care less about him one way or another, but he’s right on his reaction. If you have a problem with someone or their stance / opinion, you talk to that person. Kanter is just using Bron’s image to promote his message… which is pretty lame.

I stand with Kanter and his mission, but this is not a good way to go about it

Using Bron's image on national television to bring awareness to NBA/Nike's submissive behavior to a genocidal regime is GENIUS, actually

When has a foreign country assassinated a US citizen on US soil?

I think if anyone they would be trying to assassinate Fettulah Gulen if they ever were to assassinate anyone. And i hardly think China cares about what Kanter says. They'll just stop showing Celtics games. And it looks like they have

Im not pushing the goal post. I agree that his life would be in potential danger if he went outside of the US. At the least turkish officials would try to arrest him.

Earlier you said Turkey or China.

Now you're saying U.S. soil.

You're moving the goal post, which is fine. But just own it. Lol

[Jkam31]

So this clown is supposed to be brave cause he spoke out against the Turkish government? He risked the lives of his family while he’s making millions in the US and living a good life here in the US. That’s a coward move right there. Go fly over to Turkey and speak your mind there then Imma call him brave.

So your favorite player is brave cause he “built a school” and tweets from his 50 million dollar house but kanter needs to go die to be brave. You lebron nutthuggers are a joke

What? I read through my posts on this topic and i never said his life wouldn't be in danger outside of US.
