Boston Celtics: Player of the Week — Enes Kanter

Since joining the Boston Celtics this summer Enes Kanter has been extremely busy, mostly chasing personal endeavors. During his short tenure in Boston thus far, we’ve had the pleasure of learning more about the Celtics’ newest big-man.

Enes Kanter was born and raised in Switzerland and has three younger siblings. Both of his parents are in the medical field, as his mother is a nurse and his father received his MD and has spent time being a university professor.

As a young teen, Kanter was already a professional basketball player throughout the Swiss, Turkey, and Euro Leagues.
