When I think of New York Knicks center Enes Kanter, I think of a famous line from “The Social Network,” where Rashida Jones’ character Marilyn Delpy tells Mark Zuckerberg, played by Jesse Eisenberg:
“You’re not an a–hole Mark. You’re just trying so hard to be.”
Enes, you’re not an a**hole. You’re just trying really, really hard to be. Kanter is a great guy off the court, and his bravery in standing up to the Turkish government should be well-noted. But the guy simply does not get it. He does not understand that defense is half the battle in basketball.
