It seemed innocent enough, NBA Europe putting up a social media post with a compilation of three Turkish players, asking which one was having the best season. But it was a player from Turkey who was left out, taking offense _ Enes Kanter.
Kanter retweeted it twice, first commenting, "Wow! Scared to put my name up there lol"
"U scared little rats. Turkish #DictatorErdogan affects" He then added, "The Association is supposed to stand up for inclusion and human rights. Stop freaking (being) scared of a #Dictator and do what is right. I hope you learned from this lesson."
The NBA apparently did, because they revamped the photo collage to add Kanter alongside Cedi Osman, Furkan Korkmaz and Ersan Ilyasova, and noted, "A must correction. Of course Enes Kanter should be included. Apologies. Turnover."
Kanter, who did not speak pregame, retweeted the amended post with, "Apology accepted."
