We need Metta on the bench at the Pacers. His maturity now is inspirational.

On the Enes Kanter thing he comes from a country where he can’t go back over fear of being taken prisoner because of his comments against his country.

  Ole Metta was dominant on both ends for many years…Ask LeBrenda who was the only player locking him up those 1st few seasons. Way to know nothing.

Nah you guys don’t even know what Enes is talking about and you’re saying he’s wrong. Enes literally comes from the trenches. NY would of been a field day for him

  I respect Enes because he continues to speak out against some things that happen because of the Turkish Gov. Torture. Enes’ father being imprisoned because of the things Enes says against the Turkish Gov wishes.

One thing that I love about Diesel is his genuineness. He may not like when Chuck, Ernie, and Kenny pick on him sometimes, but whenever he wants to share his heart, he means it, as with this apology. We love you both here in the City of Angels.❤️

Talking about he’s from the trenches. People Kanter is talking about are being enslaved and in prison camps for their religion and the country doing it is silencing the nba players. Lebron is praised for speaking out for what’s right but refused to talk about crimes in China, but I thought someone once said injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. It’s not brave to only speak out when there are no repercussions.

  What are you willing to lose? Get off youtube, go out in the world and do your part. Quit fighting the fight in the comments, go out and handle it.

The talk about Ennis Kantar is kind of brutal because they clearly have absolutely no idea why he changed his name. It has nothing to do with anything happening in the US.

His country is run by a dictator who has imprisoned his father, cancelled his passport and prevented him from talking to his family.

He is not trying to copy Meta or address the same issue at all.

Honestly it’s pretty disrespectful that they brought it up without spending 5min to look up why he changed his name.

  Ok? So does North Korea and China. So does countries in Africa and Mexico and other countries in South America.
  
  So does AMERICA, clearly America can’t solve their homeless problem and poverty. Still police brutality be under the radar
