LeBron Critic Enes Kanter Legally Changes Last Name to “Freedom” Ahead of US Citizenship

The Celtics star player has refused to bow down to China, unlike LeBron James, a player Kanter often criticizes. Now Enes Kanter has legally changed his last name to “Freedom.”

Even though NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Lakers player LeBron James and many others carry water for the Chinese Communist Party, once Celtics player is saying no.

The Athletic reported:

Kanter has been outspoken about social injustice and corrupt government regimes throughout his NBA career, particularly about the rule of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in his native Turkey. In 2017, Kanter had his Turkish passport canceled while traveling overseas and his father was briefly imprisoned by the Turkish government. Kanter recently took aim at LeBron James’ relationship with Nike and the company’s alleged forced labor practices in China.
