Enes Kanter Freedom bashed the NBA for kowtowing to China once again. The outspoken human rights activist and basketball player claimed that newly-leaked audio of top NBA executives warning him not to offend Communist China was “evidence” that the league is “run by the Chinese dictatorship.”
“Tucker Carlson Tonight” aired leaked audio of NBA officials attempting to persuade Freedom to stop protesting the Chinese Communist Party during games.
National Basketball Players Association lawyer Ron Klempner is heard saying, “I got off the phone with the general counsel of the NBA, and he wants to now have a conversation about, their concern right now is not so much what you are saying off the court, but what it is you are saying on the court when you step onto the court.”
In a November game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Freedom wore sneakers that depicted 'LeKaren' James bowing to Chinese President Xi Jinping, who places a crown on James’ head with bags of money surrounding the pair. There is also a mask painted with the flag of East Turkestan – home of the Uyghurs – and a hand with the Chinese flag on it covering the mouth.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver is heard saying, “You’re not breaking any rule in terms of the shoes.”
“There’s no rule you’re violating now, to me, you know,” Silver said. “I think it’s also… look, at the end of the day, we’re also a business.”
Wall Street hedge-fund billionaire, big-time Crooked Hillary Clinton financial supporter, and Milwaukee Bucks owner Marc Lasry says kowtowing to China’s demands is “business.”
“China’s taken a very aggressive stance, which is, ‘Hey if you want to b***h about us, you’re out.’ Right? Which is – I get it,” Lasry said. “It’s business. So, their view is you wanna be in our country and do things. If you want to complain about us, you’re not allowed. So what happens for the NBA is the NBA’s in a box.”
Freedom reacted to the leaked audio by the NBA execs.
“This is the evidence of how a 100% American-made company is run by the Chinese dictatorship,” Freedom told host Tucker Carlson. “And wake up America. This is the league that you have been supporting and watching. Enough is enough. And this is unacceptable.”
“It’s just sad to see how these people still can lie to American people,” Freedom said of NBA officials. “How can they bow down to this dictatorship?”
“They care about social justice until it affects their money and business,” he continued. “The NBA pretends to care about social justice in America, but when that affects their business – they’re silent.”
Freedom proclaimed, “They are mad because finally, someone from the inside – I played 11 years in this league – I’ve finally exposed them, and I’m saying it again, ‘Enough is enough.'”
Freedom claimed that the NBA is trying to force him to retire, but he is not ready.
Freedom started last season playing for the Boston Celtics before being traded to the Houston Rockets. He was immediately cut by the Rockets. Freedom believes that the NBA is trying to silence him.
He said that he plans to continue to play in the NBA and to keep exposing the league’s relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.
