so, he is dating Dana Brooke. if they get married, cant he just get his green card and be done with Turkey forever?
Very quickly becoming my favorite Blazer. I mean there is always Dame right? But Man... How can this guy not skyrocket to the top of any fans list????? One of the more respectable people in the world today. WAY more respectable than our president and I say that being a republican. Dude plays with a separated shoulder. Dude makes huge life long impactful family decisions to support freedom over being selfish and staying with his family. That is the ultimate sacrifice right there and most people would not do this and just let the atrocities around him continue. But no. This man has principles not found in many humans today!!!! Thats it. KANTER FOR PRESIDENT 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kanter/Nurkic at Center is more impactful on the court than what either Curry or Hood does. I’d like to make sure we keep some players that have helped us out this year but until Evan Turner’s contract is done, we are limited in FA just like the past few years.
Blazers, Portlanders, Oregonians winning the world again ... This team has so many reasons to win it all this year. I believe it will happen.
I have to say...and I'm certainly not the first to say this...but Kanter's reputation as a defensive sieve was greatly exaggerated. Sure, he's nothing like Nurkic on defense but he isn't a disaster either. And on the other end of the floor, he's been the 2nd best Blazer. Look at these advanced stats: PER: Damian Lillard 24.9 Enes Kanter 23.2 CJ McCollum 17.0 Maurice Harkless 12.4 Zach Collins 12.4 Al-Farouq Aminu 11.9 Meyers Leonard 10.8 Seth Curry 9.8 Rodney Hood 8.7 Evan Turner 4.9 TS: Zach Collins .684 Enes Kanter .656 Damian Lillard .614 CJ McCollum .537 Seth Curry .537 Maurice Harkless .535 Meyers Leonard .528 Rodney Hood .506 Al-Farouq Aminu .504 Evan Turner .207 winshares/48: Enes Kanter .243 Damian Lillard .201 Meyers Leonard .117 Al-Farouq Aminu .105 Zach Collins .101 Maurice Harkless .101 CJ McCollum .099 Seth Curry .087 Rodney Hood .061 Evan Turner -0.029 Box plus/minus: Damian Lillard 7.3 Enes Kanter 5.4 Maurice Harkless 2.9 Zach Collins 2.2 Al-Farouq Aminu 1.8 Seth Curry 1.6 CJ McCollum 1.4 Meyers Leonard -0.9 Rodney Hood -1.1 Evan Turner -2.5 add all that to his character, personality, and that he's playing with a separated shoulder and it's impossible, IMO, not to like him and hope that Portland can somehow find a way to keep him. And piss all over the Denver fan that said that stuff
Hopefully the Nurk-Turk combo stays a while. That can't lose, on and off the court. Plus..Enes is dating a pro wrestler? That makes him even cooler..
Kanter, sadly, doesn't meet constitutional requirements to run for president. Underage and no citizen by birth. But hopefully he'll be naturalized by November 2020 so he can vote for president.
There always a way to keep someone and Kanter already got his big contract so maybe he does decided take a hit to stay. There are few players going get there's but the rest of the players going get the mid levels type ccontracts.
How does that compare to the regular season? It seems like Enes has really stepped up and improved in all those areas. Where he's really improved is his playoff defense, IMO.
Read what she says about Kanter. Impressive! https://heavy.com/sports/2019/05/dana-brooke-wwe-enes-kanter-girlfriend/
it's actually not too far off his regular season marks, especially after he became a starter. But that would be expected considering the Lillard effect. When players start logging more minutes on the floor with Dame their numbers are going to get better
