    Has Enes ever been to XingJiang, or China in general? A wild guess, but I think Malbury has clocked more hours there than Kanter.

    After going down the internet rabbit hole, I discovered Kanter is part of an influential Turkish religious organization called the Gülen movement (think Scientology but larger). They used to be allied with Erdogan and helped him with purging his competitors in the past by using their power and reach. Eventually they had a falling out and tried to overthrow Erdogan to take control of the country, but failed and got banned in Turkey as a result. The Gülen leader, who is worth $10-50 BILLION, now lives in a compound in Pennsylvania and is buddy buddy with Kanter, and this is why Kanter is critical of the Turkish regime. One interesting fact is the Gülen movement also runs the most charter schools in the US and one of their main backers in Washington DC is a former high-level CIA director.

    LOFs faint. Kanter needs a monument built after him for just going after LOFs alone. LOL

    Yao is a CCP member so it does not apply. He's calling out privileged people who should know better, that they are taking their freedoms for granted and selling out their souls to the CCP for a quick buck.

    Yao is from communist China
    Lin is from that church group in Palo Alto who cries for Jesus when they didn’t get an A on that science test and blames the devil for picking the wrong answers

    What do you mean. Yao went to America and lived in Houston for a decade. If anything, Yao is well positioned to use his influence against CCP, instead he chooses to be a member.

    Enes Kanter: I think America is the greatest country in the world because I can criticize the government, unlike Turkey.

    Also Enes Kanter: People that criticize America need to STFU.

    I think the point is whatever family Yao has in China can be disappeared, whereas Lin may not have that burden (I don't know Lin's family situation)

    Well according to Wikipedia, Lin's maternal grandmother emigrated from mainland china to Taiwan, so it's likely that Lin has extended family members in mainland China.

    Lin whines at church about his sorry games and asks for prayers so he can actually play
    While the dumb audience cries with him and forgets he got like 15 mill from Morey

    Also his fans are so bad they actually make Tmac fans look legit

    No one brings up LOFs on this forum anymore except you. LOFs don't exist on CF anymore.

    LOFs still dominate your thoughts and control your emotions.

    You know America to Yao is only geography. His heart, soul and body belong to mother Red China. He played all those Olympics for the CCP even though his body was jacked, and he also thinks Tibet belongs to China. Yao is like a giant Panda on loan from the CCP. Too bad, when he was in America, no one was able to make a case for him how evil the CCP really are.

    I hope they do meet up in China. They should bring Mutumbo too. That would make for some entertaining news clips.
