Over the course of the past three days, Enes Kanter has become a fan favorite. That may seem like a hyperbolic statement, but Kanter has embodied every one of the traits that New York Knicks fans have been longing to see from their enforcer.
Although the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers may be over, Kanter isn’t done talking up his teammates against the face of the NBA.
For those who missed it, LeBron James recently criticized the Knicks for not drafting Dennis Smith Jr. Kanter quickly sprung into action, defending rookie Frank Ntilikina both on and off the court, including a face-to-face encounter with James.
