LeBron James Critic Enes Kanter Freedom Gets Blasted On Twitter For Fourth Of July Shirt

Former NBA forward Enes Kanter Freedom had yet another political display on the Fourth of July. He wore a shirt saying, “My pronouns are USA,” leading to endless trolling by NBA fans.

My main problem with this is that it’s just not even creative or witty in any way, shape, or form.

Freedom, a Turkish native, is an outspoken political figure in the sports world. He constantly criticizes athletes such as former Miami Heat superstar LeBron James, a frequent advocate for social justice. Freedom’s advocacy stems from his opposition to Chinese politics, which he believes are supported in the NBA. After receiving his American citizenship, he changed his last name from “Kanter” to “Freedom” to display his patriotism. While some applaud his pro-American stances, others believe his criticism of the league stems from his inability to perform well.

Your pronouns are washed and not good at basketball

Kanter last played in the NBA with the Boston Celtics in 2022, averaging 3.7 points in 11.7 minutes. His most recent words were toward Washington Mystics guard Natasha Cloud for calling the United States “trash.”

Just ask your colleague Brittney Griner how “trash” America is.

Calling America trash huh?
Let me know when your season is over, I’ll buy your ticket and we can go together to counties like China, Russia, IRAN, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, & Turkey.
Forget about calling them… https://t.co/A3Kfojx9jQ

Only time will tell when Kanter calls out another athlete for their opinionated takes.
