NBA Assistant Coach Attacked Just Because He’s a Republican as Per Former Celtics Player Who Dragged LeBron James

Former Boston Celtics player Enes Kanter Freedom, who has grabbed headlines in the past for calling out LeBron James on his political views, recently posted a snippet of a conversation with an NBA assistant coach on Twitter. In the conversation, the anonymous assistant coach claimed that he faced many difficulties working in the league, supposedly for his political orientation.

Kanter Freedom, who generated a lot of buzz after calling out LeBron James for his Brittney Griner comments, has once again hurled the NBA Twitter into a state of frenzy.

Not long ago, Enes Kanter Freedom grabbed media headlines after claiming that the NBA has repudiated him for freely voicing his political opinions. The 30-year-old center came to the conclusion after not receiving any offers from the league this offseason.

Incidentally, Kanter Freedom has been very critical of the alleged malpractices of the Chinese administration. In addition, he has also invited conflict with the biggest superstar in the league, LeBron James.
