Sad to see so many getting butt hurt over this.
Enes has literally been a man without a country the past few years because of his social activism against a Turkish despot. He has had to live with death threats and seen family members imprisoned. His family had to disown him for political reasons - to save their own lives.
Now he gets to become an American citizen. That should be celebrated! He’s worked hard for that. He’s earned it. If he wants his name to reflect the highest ideal of his adopted country, so be it!
If Ime has a problem dealing with media distractions then he needs to put on his big boy pants. I would bet that he’s not bothered by this and that he and the rest of the Celtics will be celebrating with Enes.
TP for being vastly more eloquent than my attempt :')
This isn't about us. And we can judge his name all we want - I'm sure some of us have idiot sounding names to other cultures too.
Heck, my name's Dirk. It still sounds stupid. DIRK. Like you're burping or something.
