Enes Freedom, also known as Enes Kanter, isn’t backing down on his criticism of Nike and China. For years, the former NBA big man has been calling out the popular apparel company for their involvement in China’s forced labor program.
In the process, Freedom has also gone after Nike-sponsored athletes for staying quiet on the issues of the company, and one Nike icon that has been caught in Freedom’s crosshair is Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
LeBron has been at the forefront of news lately after he overtook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. While everyone is commemorating LeBron’s latest milestone, Freedom now used this opportunity to call out the 38-year old Lakers superstar.
“38,388 Points, 0 Morals, 0 Values, 0 Principles, 0 Empathy, 1 Bow Down to #China. Congratulations to @KingJames”
“People get mad when I speak the truth because I’m the only athlete who actually speaks the truth. I don’t care about your endorsement deals or your dirty money. You can NOT buy me #CCP! Don’t expect me to respect you or your game when your shoes are literally made by SLAVE KIDS.”
