Jamaal Bowman finds Enes Kanter's political positions something to joke about.

For background, here's a little about Enes Kanter:

Enes Kanter; born 20 May 1992), is a Swiss-born stateless basketball player of Turkish origin. He currently plays for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was originally selected as the third overall pick of the 2011 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz.

He is a political activist, noted for his criticisms of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and support for the Gülen movement.

In Turkey, Kanter's father was charged as a member of a terrorist group. He was arrested, then was released after being detained for five days. Kanter believes his father has been targeted by the Turkish government and could face many years in prison. Kanter is unable to contact his friends and family back in Turkey because he fears the conversations will be tapped and they will be harmed. Six days after the cancellation of his passport, the Turkish government issued an arrest warrant for Kanter, accusing him of being a member of a "terror group". Turkey said that charged citizens who fail to come to Turkey during September 2017 face revocation of citizenship; in September 2017, Kanter described himself as stateless. According to Sports Illustrated, "Although Kanter might dismiss the Turkish arrest warrant as toothless, he faces the more impactful problem of being a man without a country." It was reported on 20 December 2017, that Turkish prosecutors were seeking more than four years in prison for Kanter, who would be tried in absentia.

In 2019, Kanter was the subject of an E:60 ESPN documentary called Enemy of the State. Kanter condemned the 2019 Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria against U.S.-allied Kurds.
