          <description><![CDATA[Boston Celtics big man Enes Kanter Freedom said that he'd be more than willing to educate LeBron James on what's going on in China. <p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boston-celtics-t101837" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Boston Celtics</strong></a> big man <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/enes-kanter-freedom-says-lebron-james-ex-teammates-know-hes-a-fake-20211130-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Enes Kanter Freedom </strong></a>has vowed to <strong>make the most of his platform as an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> player</strong> to protest on multiple social issues. Unsurprisingly, that hasn’t always been welcomed around the league.</p>
<p>Freedom – who recently became an American citizen and legally changed his name – has taken multiple shots at prominent figures in the league, mainly <strong>LeBron James</strong>, for their ties to Nike and other companies accused of aiding child labor.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, the former <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/utah-jazz-t92560" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Utah Jazz</a> </strong>center recently said that he’s actually willing to make amends and call a truce with <em>The King, </em>as long as<strong> he’s also willing to beeducated on that issue.</strong></p>

<h2>Enes Kanter Freedom Says He’s Willing To Educate LeBron James On China’s Situation</h2>
<p><em><strong>“Sure, I’d love to sit down and talk to him,”</strong></em> Kanter told ESPN. <strong><em>“I’m sure it’s going to be a very uncomfortable conversation for him. I don’t know if he’s gonna want that. I’ll make that really comfortable for him. I don’t know if he’s educated enough, but I’m here to educate him and I’m here to help him, because it’s not about money. It’s about morals, principles, and values. It’s about what you stand for. There are way bigger things than money. If LeBron stopped making money now, his grandkids and grandkids and grandkids can have the best life ever.”</em></strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>Freedom Says NBA Players Are Scared To Call Out Michael Jordan And LeBron James</h2>
<p>Kanter Freedom also said that multiple black NBA players have reached out to him urging him to call out these legends of the game. According to the Turkish big man, <strong>they’re too scared</strong> to do it themselves:</p>
<p><em><strong>“The thing is, whenever I talk about LeBron, whenever I talk about Michael Jordan, the Black athletes in the league are the ones reaching out to me and saying, ‘Listen, talk about this person,&apos;”</strong></em> the big man said. <em>“Not many people know this, but they are the ones giving me talking points. When Black Lives Matter protests happened, I was the third one in the whole league that went out there and protested. I was actually wearing my jersey. I wanted them to know that I am with them.</em></p>
<p><strong><em>“But when these issues are happening, some of the other players out there in the league are scared to say anything against LeBron or Jordan,” </em></strong>Freedom added. <em>“But they are reaching out to me and giving me talking points and say, ‘Listen, you talk about LeBron. It’s amazing — but he’s at least standing up for things in America.<strong> Why don’t you say anything about Michael Jordan? The only thing he is doing is just giving money, but he is remaining silent. He’s scared to speak up.&apos;”</strong></em></p>

<div id="relatedNews-9">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>At the end of the day, <strong>no one is untouchable, </strong>especially at this time. Everybody has their take on these issues and Freedom has every right to speak up for what he believes in and call out whoever he feels like it’s not doing enough to help the cause.</p>

          <description><![CDATA[Enes Kanter Freedom took another shot at LeBron James and claimed that even his teammates know that he's not a true activist. Check out what he said. <p>Even if he’s not too famous as an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> player,<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boston-celtics-t101837" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Celtics</a></strong> big man<strong> Enes Kanter </strong>has made a name for himself among activists and those who advocate for freedom and social justice. Others simply know him for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/enes-kanter-says-lebron-james-is-disgusting-and-works-for-china-20211119-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>his constant jabs at LeBron James.</strong></a></p>
<p>Kanter, who recently became an American citizen, has been on a years-long standoff with Turkish president<strong>Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, </strong>calling him out for human rights violations and accusing him of sending goons to kill him.</p>
<p>Now, the<strong> former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/utah-jazz-t92560" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Utah Jazz player</a></strong> has legally changed his name to Enes Kanter Freedom and recently talked about the perks that come with living in the U.S. and how people should value the freedom of speech they have.</p>

<p></p></div>
<h2>Enes Kanter Becomes An American Citizen, Changes Name To Enes Kanter Freedom</h2>
<p><em><strong>“People should feel really blessed to be in America,” </strong></em>Kanter said on the Tucker Carlson Show. <em><strong>“They love to criticize it but when you live in a country like Turkey, you appreciate the freedoms you have here. </strong>I feel like they should just keep their mouth shut and stop criticizing the greatest nation in the world and they should focus on their freedoms and their human rights and democracy.”</em></p>

<h2>Kanter Says Everybody Knows LeBron James Is A Fake Activist</h2>
<p>And, as per usual, Kanter didn’t waste the chance to take another shot at his number one enemy, claiming that even LeBron’s teammates know that he’s just <strong>a fake activist </strong>and does all those things for PR purposes:</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2021/11/29/noticia_0024.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-63">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p><em><strong>“I had so many conversations with LeBron’s ex-teammates and even they are the one that told me that LeBron, all he’s doing is own PR and everything he’s doing trying to stand up for things is not that he really feels about it,”</strong></em> Kanter told CNN.</p>
<p>James has made a name for himself for being a huge philantroprist and even opened his own school in Ohio. Then again, his stance on China’s situation has prompted plenty of criticism, so <strong>maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle.</strong></p>
