President of Turkish Basketball Federation Harun Erdenay announced that exceeded the crisis with Enes Kanter. Enes Kanter will play again for the Turkey National Team.
“Enes Kanter told us he wants to play in the EuroBasket. The crisis was overcome.” said Harun Erdenay on Radyospor.
Enes Kanter played just in EuroBasket 2011 for the Turkey National Team. He did not take place in the Turkey National Team in Eurobasket 2013 and FIBA World Cup due to injuries. But many other speculations was put forward on this topic.
Kanter, who has largely remained silent in the face of criticism and rumors with regards to his failure to play for the Turkish national team, said on the issue in an interview recently: “I have remained mostly quiet in the fact of unnecessary rhetoric on this topic. Believe me, sometimes it’s difficult to even believe some of the things people say. In the past two years, all sorts of unmentionable things have been said about me with regards to the Turkish national team. There is no point in repeating them here; especially since I’ve mentioned them in previous interviews.”
“But I will say just this: I love my people, our national team and our flag a thousand times more than those who criticize me so improperly on this topic. In fact, every moment in the NBA is spent thinking about how I can get people here to love the values, country and flag that I represent more.”
