Jason Lee says Enes Kanter is trying to ‘kiss up to Daddy Trump’ with WNBA controversy
Enes Kanter Freedom’s WNBA shenanigans have been compared to US President Donald Trump’s actions. Former NBA star Enes Kanter’s ongoing battle with the WNBA has attracted many reactions, and media personality Jason Lee has become the latest to join the list.
Former NBA player Enes Kanter's recent controversy with the WNBA has drawn comparisons to former U.S. President Donald Trump's tactics. Media personality Jason Lee weighed in on the situation during an episode of Michael Porter Jr.'s 'Curious Mike' podcast. Lee questioned Kanter's intentions, suggesting he may be trying to "kiss up to daddy Trump" because it aligns with Trump's strategy of divisive rhetoric.
Lee wondered why Kanter, now a citizen of the United States, would engage in such "disrespectfully divisive" behavior. He pointed out that Kanter should be advocating for higher pay, better brand deals, and promoting the sport's growth, instead of bullying the very people he claims to support. Lee and Porter Jr. both agreed that Kanter's approach to the WNBA and its players is extreme, especially considering the goal of protecting players from playing against transgender athletes.
