Enes Kanter torched China and Nike in a new Twitter video.

The Boston Celtics player has been an outspoken critic of the Chinese dictatorship, and his latest video took direct aim at the nation’s cozy relationship with Nike. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In

Kanter said the following in part in a video tweeted Monday afternoon:

When it comes to China, Nike remains silent. You do not address police brutality in China. You do not speak about discrimination about the
LGBTQ community. You do not say a word about the oppression of
minorities in China. You are scared to speak up. Who makes your shoes
in China? Do you even know? There are so many forced labor factories in
China. For instance, Uyghur forced labor. A modern day slavery, and
it’s happening right now in China.

This is what true bravery looks like. Kanter has absolutely nothing to
gain by criticizing Nike and China, and he 100% has everything to lose.

China is an oppressive dictatorship that attempts to get the NBA to
bend to its will, and the league does it more times than not.

Now, one of the more notable players in the league and a third overall
draft pick is going after the dictatorship for violating human rights
and going after Nike for not speaking up for people.

Everything the media wanted you to believe about Colin Kaepernick,
Kanter is actually that guy. He’s actually willing to stick his neck
out on the line.

There’s a real chance if the Chinese government applied enough
pressure, teams wouldn’t sign him. Yet, he still speaks up for the
voiceless.

It will be fascinating to see how the NBA responds to this situation.
Nike is arguably the biggest brand in all of basketball and the league
loves China. They won’t love these comments from Kanter, but he still
deserves to be applauded for speaking his mind.
