Mr. Freedom

NBA star Enes Kanter officially became a U. S. citizen yesterday.  To honor the civil rights that he’s experienced here, Kanter changed his surname to “Freedom.”

Kanter has money and fame, but knows firsthand that freedom is what counts the most.  He has spent years fighting for the rights of those who are oppressed by dictatorial governments.

Kanter’s been “an outspoken critic of both his native Turkey and China.”  These governments have retaliated against him with accusations that don’t align with what Freedom’s about.
