Enes Kanter has had a tumultuous summer and it has nothing to do with Kevin Durant leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Turkish big man has been disowned by his parents for supporting a Pennsylvania-based cleric named Fethullah Gulen. During the attempted coup in the Turkish government last month, Gulen was suspected of being involved with the group that tried to overthrow Turkey's president, Tayyip Erdogan.
Kanter's support of Gulen, which even included a letter posted on social media that was signed "Enes (Kanter) Gulen," has left his parents publicly apologizing to all of Turkey for the existence of their son.
