Former Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter Freedom does not expect to play in the NBA or Europe again because of his outspoken views on human rights abuses in China and elsewhere worldwide.
But the Turkish big man recently received some calls from WWE to become a professional wrestler.
"I'm not kidding," he told the Republican representative from Utah on Friday. Chris Stewart's annual safety conference in Salt Lake City. Freedom was among several speakers who spoke about world issues, particularly China.
One of the fighters told him he could speak publicly about whatever he wanted.
"It's too late," he said. "I already mentioned them.
Freedom last played in the NBA for the Boston Celtics last season. He was traded to the Houston Rockets just before the league's trade deadline in February. Houston cut the big man a short time later and hasn't heard from any NBA teams.
Therefore, they will allow you to speak freely about anything you want until it hurts them financially. As soon as you do that, they'll cut you off. It is unfortunate and unacceptable."
At the conference, Freedom said it recently formed a foundation focused on fostering Freedom, democracy, and social harmony worldwide. She said that he also wants to use basketball to bring people together. She flew to Salt Lake City from Israel.
