(Jewish Group) NBA's Enes Kanter hosts Brooklyn basketball clinic for Muslim & Orthodox Jewish kids
Boston Celtics basketball star Enes Kanter hosted a free basketball clinic in Brooklyn for Muslim and Jewish kids.
The event on Sunday was organized by Kingsway Jewish Center and the Turkish Cultural Center of Brooklyn to unite the Turkish Muslim community and the Orthodox Jewish community, News12 Brooklyn reported.
“It’s just so much fun to go out there and speak one language, and that is sport,” said Kanter, a practicing Muslim.
Kanter has been banned from returning to his native Turkey after being publicly critical of its president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Turkey revoked his passport in 2017 and issued an arrest warrant for Kanter, accusing him of being a member of a “terror group.”
