Enes Kanter Is Pressing All The Right Pandering Buttons And I Cannot Get Enough

then it went up a notch at his introductory press conference when he clowned Kyrie
then he went on TV last month and talked about how much better of a leader Kemba is than Kyrie, a topic that is like heroin to Celtics fans as we enter next season

which means I’m ready to let my heart and my brain prepare for this version of Gordon Hayward. Let’s go
