Diamond77 sir;
You are correct about us Turks being over sensitive like a chick at her period when it comes to National Team issues. Especially nowadays, we are living tough times historically in the inner politics, the system, the regime and the shape of the country/society. So that affects the sensitivity to a higher level.
Enes is known to be raised in a school that is owned by the Cult that resides in many positions in the power of Turkish Republic right now. And he suddenly started to voice his inner cult person right after he has gotten injured. That might be happened because he experienced this kind of injury for the first time and it happened in a dramatic time in which he was trying to break out. All that body build up and the change in the attitude 'n all. He quit his playboy life and went back to his roots.
I don't blame him. He may have learned the religion in the hands of this cult and it's not his fault he has his thoughts like that. And I know that he is an emotional little kid with nearly no real experience in life to make him grow up personally despite his big body. So it's understandable that he is loud about his religious beliefs, and he worships like he wrestles (like he posts up, if you will).
He might be a spoiled little ******* that grew major hate against the basketball federation and the bigtime team of his country, so within all this irresponsible, spoiled, religious guy wannabe mind that cannot handle fame as good as the next guy and is not performing well enough leading for him to get pushed around by his coach with issues; his mocking of his NT with his tweets saying "hahahaha" after their loss is not also a thing I give a flying intercourse. He even stepped back with the lowest defense after the reaction saying "Hey I've tweeted it to my brother, not you" Can you imagine how young minded he is? You remember that Clippers announcer saying "He is just a baby." ? He is absolutely right. He has so much in him to grow, so much to learn.
So to finalize my words on this matter, no, I don't care if he ditched the NT anymore. Actually I don't care too much about the NT anymore too. Well who am I kidding, I do of course, but with less excitement. Maybe when the day comes we find using money and personal relations to buy a Wildcard to be able to qualify to a tournament dishonest and low, I might get excited again.
All my criticism towards Enes Kanter are solely based on his retardedness basketball IQwise. Nothing more. He can come to the NT or he can stay in the US, maybe become a citizen and play for the Dream Team D-League. If something like that exists some day..
I just want to see the best out of a number 3 pick player to see him become the best he can be.
