Enes Kanter had a fantastic game for the Trail Blazers in their 97-90 Game 2 win over the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs on Wednesday.
But on top of worrying about everything going on with the Turkey Government and the stress of NBA playoffs he also had do deal with some terrible comments from a couple of fans… 🙁
How terrible..
Crowd is chanting “Kanter sucks!” and one yelled out, “Go back to Turkey, oh wait you can’t!”

Kanter took to Twitter to address the comments from the fan.
I wish I could go back to Turkey to see Family 😔

But I chose to support Democracy, Freedom and Human rights,
I am grateful for most Americans supporting that right. @nuggets take control of your fans.
This is hurtful 💔
Be grateful for the Democracy and Freedom we have here. https://t.co/SMGu9j3qc4
What a messed up country lead by #TurkishDictator @RTErdogan
