In Enes Kanter’s world, if you are sharing a locker room with him, you are his brother. And if you’re down the hall, in the opposing locker room? Just picture him going nose-to-nose with LeBron James last season or trash-talking Kevin Durant when Durant bolted Oklahoma City for the Warriors.
That explains his conflict on the court, protecting his teammates and turf, and also explains his efforts to turn enemies into friends when opportunity presents itself.
Appearing on SiriusXM NBA Radio Wednesday morning, Kanter described his plans for next summer. While he is a free agent after this season, he hopes to return to New York on a long-term deal and more than that, he hopes to bring his old OKC teammate, Durant, along with him.
