Enes Kanter has fired serious shots at LeBron James for conveniently ignoring the inhumane treatment of workers in China.
Ahead of the Celtics-Lakers game on Friday, Boston Celtics’ big man Enes Kanter took to Twitter to call out James for choosing ‘money over morals’.
The post had some custom made sneakers on them, with the messages “Morals > Money” and “Hey King, still researching and getting educated?” emblazoned on the footwear.
Money over Morals for the “King” 👑
Sad & disgusting how these athletes pretend they care about social justice
They really do “shut up & dribble” when Big Boss 🇨🇳 says so
Did you educate yourself about the slave labor that made your shoes or is that not part of your research? pic.twitter.com/YUA8rGYeoZ

Enes also took aim at James in the caption:

To the owner of @Nike, Phil Knight
How about I book plane tickets for us
and let's fly to China together.We can try to visit these SLAVE labor
camps and you can see it with your
own eyes.@KingJames @Jumpman23

Let’s hope LeBron passes fit for Friday’s game so we can see the two come together on the court.
