Pro-America NBA center Enes Freedom is one of the few NBA stars not afraid to speak out against China. Now he is speaking out against anti-American comments made by superstar LeBron James.
Griner pled guilty to bringing hashish oils into Russia. She has been detained on drug charges.
LeBron used this an opportunity to speak out against America.
“Now, how can she feel like America has her back?” James said of Griner. “I would be feeling like, ‘Do I even want to go back to America?’”
LeBron James says if he were Brittney Griner, he'd question returning to the United States. https://t.co/f8y7bKtoZk

Of course, once James realize the magnitude of what he said he immediately went into backpedal mode.
James tweeted, “My comments on ‘The Shop’ regarding Brittney Griner wasn’t knocking our beautiful country. I was simply saying how she’s probably feeling emotionally along with so many other emotions, thoughts, etc inside that cage she’s been in for over 100+ days!”

Enes Freedom, who took the necessary steps to change his last name from Kanter to Freedom, took to Twitter to call out LeBron James.
You call it a step back, we call this a walk back.
You are free to leave buddy or you can even volunteer for an exchange for her.
Some people literally have NO idea what is it like to live in a dictatorship.
Keep taking your freedom for granted. https://t.co/RG28O6co1E pic.twitter.com/QqpPuLrB72

Most NBA players wouldn't dare challenge the Chinese Communist Party or LeBron James, but Enes Freedom has challenged both.
