Enes Kanter Calls Out Nike, Co-Founder Phil Knight Over Forced Labor in China

Celtics center Enes Kanter called on Nike co-founder Phil Knight to "visit these slave labor camps" in China in an Instagram post shared Tuesday.

Kanter's latest post, part of a series attempting to draw attention to various injustices in China, called on Knight to "see it with your own eyes." He tagged LeBron James and Michael Jordan's Instagram handles as well and added, "you guys are welcome to come too."

Kanter's post on Tuesday comes as he wore customized shoes with the words "Modern Day Slavery" and "No More Excuses" written on them in his team's overtime win Monday over the Hornets.
