In the midst of the Daryl Morey-China-Hong Kong controversy, Nets owner Joe Tsai made the unbelievable claim that 1.4 billion Chinese citizens agree on… well, anything.
Sign In Enes Kanter, like Kyrie Irving, won’t be the last person to wear No. 11 for the Celtics. Boston reportedly traded the center to the Portland Trail Blazers in a three-team deal involving the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. This will be Kanter’s second stint in Portland after appearing in 23 games for the Trail…
After posting a 112-94 win over the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday, some Boston Celtics players spent their day off on Monday in the pool for some fun and extra work.
Jaylen Brown and Enes Kanter were captured on video helping Tacko Fall to learn how to swim. The rookie has previously said in the past that he does not know how to swim and previously took part in lessons at the Boys & Girls Club in Boston.
Fall said he grew up near a beach in Senegal but never went to the water much. However, Fall has, like most players, participated in aquatic exercises, and given his 7-foot-5 frame, he can stand up in most pools so learning how to swim likely hasn’t been a priority.
The Celtics have often done several activities together during their time at the Walt Disney World Resort. The group has previously hit the golf course together and they have also taken bike rides around the bubble and other related things.
Sign In Enes Kanter on Monday trolled Nick Wright for a year-old, poorly aged take about the Boston Celtics. On Wednesday, the “First Things First” co-host responded directly to Kanter, but you might be surprised by the results. With Kanter joining via video call, Wright offered this: “Enes, I don’t do this often, because it…
On Wednesday, the “First Things First” co-host responded directly to Kanter, but you might be surprised by the results.
With Kanter joining via video call, Wright offered this:
“Enes, I don’t do this often, because it doesn’t often happen,” he said. “But I have something to tell you: I was wrong. I thought that the Celtics were going (to have a tough season). And this is why, after watching you for the season, I picked you guys to make the conference finals just a couple of weeks ago on this show.
“I thought you guys were going to really struggle defensively. And, not only did you not struggle defensively, as a team you guys were a top five defense. The defense actually improved slightly when Enes Kanter was on the court. … I deserve to be clowned on this one because i was dead-wrong. I don’t think it was that hot of a take, but I just ended up being wrong.”

The Boston Celtics understand why they’re traveling to Orlando for the NBA’s return-to-play plan. Jayson Tatum mentioned Tuesday that if the Celtics were going to the Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World, they “might as well try to win a championship.” Boston teammate Enes Kanter took it one step further. Kanter on…
As much as Enes Kanter and Tacko Fall enjoy their friendship, they also love to get on each other’s nerves whenever humanly possible (all in good fun, of course). But this time, Kanter might have bitten off more than he can chew. It’s been quite a while since the Boston Celtics big men have been…
Enes Kanter got some good news Friday. The Boston Celtics center announced on Twitter that his father was released from prison seven years after he was arrested by the authoritarian government. “Wow! “I could cry “Today I found out that 7 years after arresting my dad, taking him through a Kangaroo court and accusing him…
As the coronavirus pandemic has closed gyms across the country, people have gotten pretty creative with their home workouts. That includes the Boston Celtics, center Enes Kanter revealed on FS1’s “First Things First,” and it’s led him to believe that banner number 18 is in store because of it. “Just because we still don’t know…
Enes Kanter already knows what he wants to do once his NBA career is over. The Boston Celtics center spoke with The Athletic’s Shams Charania about his life after basketball — and he apparently already has an offer on the table. “Oh, I’m definitely becoming a WWE wrestler, for sure,” Kanter told Charania. “I actually…
