Exile and Basketball with Enes Kanter
Why Is This Happening? The Chris Hayes Podcast - A podcast by Chris Hayes, MSNBC & NBCNews THINK - Tuesdays
Categories:
Enes Kanter is a wanted man in his home country of Turkey. He’s long been a vocal critic of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and it’s come at a high cost. At 6′ 10″, Kanter also happens to play for the Boston Celtics in the NBA. How he came to sit at this intersection is a riveting story, one that involves an NBA draft at age 19, a failed coup d'état, and a system of retribution by the Turkish government that targets not only Kanter but the family he left behind.
