Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter Freedom recently got word that Yao Ming has invited him to visit China in order to “have a more comprehensive understanding of us.”
State-affiliated China.org.cn’s tweet about the invitation seems to have disappeared, but for what it’s worth, this morning, Kanter Freedom said that he’d be glad to accept such an invitation. With a few stipulations, of course:
Hey @YaoMing
I heard that you are inviting me to China this summer.
Ok, I accept your invite,
I will be coming to China this summer,But on this trip, pic.twitter.com/Q6qufuhDPL

We will never not be in awe of Enes Kanter Freedom’s willingness to put it all on the line to stand up to the Chinese government.
