Enes Kanter had a legendary first official day as a member of the Boston Celtics.
He signed his contract — a two-year deal worth just shy of $10 million — and immediately threw shade at Kyrie Irving while explaining his No. 11 jersey in the introductory press conference.
But Kanter’s day wasn’t done. He waited little time to actually don his Celtics uniform. That’s because on Wednesday, the Celtics were holding a camp at the Auerbach Center, and Kanter felt inclined to take on the kids in five-on-five games.
He decided to do so while wearing his full Celtics uniform — completely down to the compression leggings and shooting sleeves. He was game ready.
It doesn’t get much better than this.
I just wish we had extended footage of the game. At the very least, we would have loved to see Kanter’s Boston tenure start with a dunk over a bunch of kids.
Something tells me that NBA players never get tired of dunking on kids.
