Enes Kanter Freedom sent a strong message to LeBron James, after the Los Angeles Lakers star commented on the situation of Brittney Griner who is imprisoned in Russia.
James made a comment about the situation of the basketball player in Russia, he said he does not understand how it is that Griner could not be brought back to the United States, the NBA player commented that Joe Biden should make a better effort in this situation.
“Can he feel like America has turned its back on him? I would feel like that, ‘Would I want to come back to the United States?” he said on the YouTube show The Shop.
After these comments people criticized him strongly, so James came out to qualify his statements on the social network Twitter.
“My comments about Brittney Griner were not meant to be a criticism of our precious country. I simply tried to say how she feels emotionally. She’s been locked up for over 100 days, and simply put she needs to be brought back home.”

If anyone has been controversial in the NBA, it’s Freedom, and it was no different when he learned of James’ comments.
“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,” she wrote on twitter.
Brittney Griner has been imprisoned in Russia for more than 100 days on drug trafficking charges.
