Not everyone in the NBA kisses the ass of tyrants like Lebron. One athlete is taking a stand against tyranny at great personal cost.
It’s Enes Kanter, the Turkish athlete that wrote ‘Freedom’ on his shoes, and took a pretty obvious potshot at ‘King’ James after James made the statement he’s been dragged for in the day since he said it:
“We all talk about this freedom of speech, yes, we all do have freedom of speech, but at times there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you’re not thinking about others and you’re only thinking about yourself,” the NBA star said, as reported by The Daily Wire on Monday night. “I don’t want to get into a … feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn’t educated on the situation at hand and he spoke. So many people could have been harmed, not only financially, but physically, emotionally, and spiritually.”
“So, just be careful what we tweet and say and what we do even though, yes, we do have freedom of speech, there can be a lot of negatives that comes with that too,” James added.

Why would he do that? Kanter spelled it out in a Tweet:
-Haven’t seen or talked to my family 5 years
-Jailed my dad
-My siblings can’t find jobs
-Revoked my passport
-International arrest warrant
-My family can’t leave the country
-Got Death Threats everyday
-Got attacked, harassed
-Tried to kidnap me in IndonesiaFREEDOM IS NOT FREE

He knows a thing or two about dealing with Tyrants… and — unlike James — he does NOT bend the knee to their demands if it could cost him something.
