""Granger created a mild uproar in Turkey with some ill-advised Twitter posts on Tuesday. Granger posted a couple of tweets criticizing the hygiene of the citizens of the host nation of the FIBA World Championship at one point saying they smelled "like dead donkeys.""

Really? Uproar over somebody saying you stink? Is the nation of Turkey stuck in 3rd grade or something?

I didn't read it as Turks being stinky. I thought he was talking about the international ballers. He made it worse later by saying something about how people should relax because he's from Louisiana and people there stink too. He should have a PR guy screen these.

He's not used to attention because he plays for the Indiana Pacers and didn't break the law.

Didn't hear the tweet, no, but I did read it... Guy was just being honest. Most European people do not wear any form of deodorant.

Turkey does not translate to Euro, although they want to join the union.
Regardless, If everybody stinks than nobody really stinks, plus they probably think perfume wearing Americans stink.

Yeah, like 3% of Turkey is Europe. Turkey is considered by everyone a Middle Eastern country.
