Michael Jordan became the latest person to appear on the radar of Enes Kanter who had previously had a go at LeBron James
Enes Kanter is a man on a mission this season. Despite being well aware of the risks of jeopardizing his NBA career, Kanter has publicly voiced his angst against the atrocities being committed by the Chinese government.
However, it isn’t only the regime of the CCP which Kanter has gone after. He’s also lashed out at Nike for continuing to manufacture its shoes in China despite the well documented usage of forced labour in Chinese factories.

Kanter most recently went after Lakers LeBron James with both exchanging words as James went onto claim he wanted nothing to do with Kanter who he claimed was only using his name to chase clout.
“He’s trying to use my name to create an opportunity for himself. I definitely won’t comment too much on that,” James said.
Kanter who recently talked down to talk about a string of issues and his rage against China spoke about how LeBron James only cared about his PR. He also ripped into Michael Jordan in the interview for not taking a stance on issues with him also claiming Jordan had done nothing till date for the black community.

“Not many people are talking about Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan hasn’t done anything, nothing, for the Black community in America besides just, you know, giving them money. I feel like we need to call out these athletes. At least LeBron James is going out there and being the voice of all those people who are oppressed in America,” Kanter said with him adding that the only thing Jordan cared about in life was selling his shoes.
