NYDN- Enes Kanter won’t be intimidated — by NBA stars or the Turkish government. Turkey’s state-run news agency Anadolu Agency said prosecutors are seeking more than four years in prison for the Knicks cenon charges of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“Four years? That’s it?” Kanter said at Knicks practice Wednesday morning. “For all of the trash I’ve been talking?” On Wednesday, Kanter — who is praying “for all these innocent people in Turkey” — told the media that he’s “good” and extra motivated to make the playoffs in light of the recent news.

“I’m a New Yorker now, huh? I mean, if you guys accept me, I’m from here now,” Kanter said. “I get my (U.S.) passport in two, three years I hope.”

I blogged about this 4 year sentence coming down earlier today and hoped we would get some sort of good response out of Enes Kanter and sure enough we did. Dude just took a jail sentence from his native country and pretty much asked for more like he was Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club (nice timely pop culture reference Clem!). Brushed that shit off his shoulder real quick. That is the guy I want protecting the paint and my 7’3″ unicorn. Shit, this is the exact kind of guy I need on the inside to overthrow the dictator that owns the Knicks. If Enes thought the ruler of Turkey was bad, just wait until he really gets to know James Dolan. I’ll gladly admit I was dead wrong about the #Me7o trade. Keeping him around and hoping his trade value improved means we never would have had this fun team but most importantly had a dude that talks shit and doesn’t back down from LeBron James or his country’s president. Myself and the other millions of New Yorkers welcome him with open arms. If he ever wants to come North of The Wall and visit the Casa de Clem, he will even get the big piece of chicken at dinner. Because anyone who shrugs off a 4 year sentence in a Turkish prison like this can play for my team and eat my food any day of the week.
