[Saba Sports News] Enes Kanter seized the moment to critique LeBron James on the night the Lakers star surpassed the 40,000 career points milestone, a first in NBA history.
Instead of commending James for his historic achievement during the Lakers’ 124-114 defeat to the Denver Nuggets, Kanter chose to highlight a different point, emphasizing “Integrity > 40,000 points” in a post on X.
Facing backlash, he followed up with remarks referencing his concerns over child labor and social justice, hinting at James’ perceived inconsistencies in these areas.
Known for his activism and outspoken views, particularly against what he sees as James’ leniency towards oppressive regimes like China’s, Kanter viewed this occasion as yet another platform to voice his longstanding criticisms of James, whom he accuses of being selectively vocal on social issues.
