Legendary voice.
I didnt know this, but he was the 1st overall pick in the 1957 NBA Draft, and a 2 time All-Star for the Lakers.

There were so many things Jazz fans enjoyed about the affable Enes Kanter's personality during his first three seasons with the team.
The Turkish jokester once used Twitter to seek female dates to join him at a Cheesecake Factory. He did the worm during the rookie dance off and dropped the mic at center court. He had dreams of going into professional wrestling after his playing days were over.
And it seems now the UnderKanter has turned heel.
As the 22-year-old center spoke with reporters Saturday morning after the Thunder's shootaround, Kanter's first trip back to EnergySolutions Arena since asking for and getting a deadline trade in February, the big man expressed frustrations over his time in Salt Lake City and leveled thinly veiled blows at the Jazz organization.
"I think it wasn't just a one- or two-game frustration; it was a three-and-a-half-year frustration," Kanter said.
Asked what those frustrations were, Kanter responded: "I would say almost everything."
Kanter admitted that he "didn't bring it every night" on the basketball court while with the Jazz and said he has enjoyed a revitalization since joining the Thunder.
"I think the difference is probably I like playing basketball there," Kanter said. "That's the most important thing. Never liked playing basketball before in my NBA career. That's my first time I start like playing basketball there, for my team, for the fans, for my teammates, for coaches, everybody. That's the first time."
Kanter said upon arriving in Oklahoma City he experienced a higher level of professionalism, though he declined to discuss specifics about his issues with the Jazz.
"I don't want to make no comments on them," he said. "But right after I went to OKC, I was like, oh man, this is how an NBA team is."
So does Kanter miss anything about Utah?
"Mountains," he said after a long pause. "That's it."

More like Enes Sandoval...
What a douche. With Durant about to go to DC, he should enjoy OKC's window of success while he can.
Funny how the rest of the team isnt "frustrated with everything". Maybe its an Enes Kanter problem, not a Jazz problem.

Thank you Booker!!! Listening to the post game everyone feels disrespected and not too happy. Even Scott Brooks said he needs to learn how to tame himself.
Edit: Hayward wouldn't even call him by name. Referred to him as "that other player".

He made the game about himself and not about the playoff hunt or about his teammates. I hope OKC saw how selfish he really is.

love the win! I hope Kanter signs with OKC long-term, it would make for a great rivalry. What a fool. I'm glad so many former players are calling him out for it.
Anyway, looks like Tomic will be over next year. The Jazz informed the team they want to buy out his contract. Im pretty excited to see what happens this summer. They signed Cotton and Cooley to 2 year non guaranteed deals, and I believe Chris Johnson as well. I think Lindsay has a player in mind for a trade. He now has a few players (Booker as well with his $5mil non guaranteed) he can send off to match the money coming back, and. bunch of draft picks the next few years. I'd love to see them go after Jimmy Butler, but I doubt the Bulls won't match and keep him.

Kanter is just mad that we became twice as good of a team directly because we got rid of him.

Why did we let him leave?
