He's an NBA player who risked his own career for the freedom of others. He's an activist working to give voice to oppressed people around the world, regardless of religion, belief, ideology, or ethnicity. He's an athlete who's willing to turn down contracts worth tens of millions of dollars just to persevere in his endeavors.

I'm talking about NBA player Enes Kanter FREEDOM.

While playing in the NBA, he took every opportunity he could get, appearing on television, and striving to raise awareness of human rights issues in various parts of the world. Enes Kanter's statements garnered so much public attention that Simon & Schuster, a respected US-based publishing house, offered him a book detailing his narrative. The book, titled "IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM" was recently released. I had pre-ordered it months ago.
