The Enes Kanter-LeBron James beef continues.
Last week, Kanter called out LeBron for ignoring slave labor in China while working with Nike in a social media post.
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

After the Celtics-Lakers game on Friday, LeBron blasted Kanter and chided the Celtics big man for not confronting him in person.
LeBron on Enes Kanter: "He's trying to use my name to create an opportunity for himself…As a man, if you've got an issue with somebody, you come up to him. He had his opportunity tonight. I seen him in the hallway & he walked right by me.pic.twitter.com/KYDh5o6AMA

On Sunday night, Kanter spoke to CNN’s Pamela Brown and responded by saying that LeBron chose not to confront him during the Celtics-Lakers game.
Brown: Why haven’t you gone up to LeBron and spoken to him face to face?
Kanter: I wasn’t the one that right passed him. He was the one that literally walked right by me and did not say anything pic.twitter.com/bzJcw5HaRn— Acyn (@Acyn) November 21, 2021
Kanter went on to claim that LeBron’s former teammates believe the Lakers star is being fake when he speaks on social justice issues.
Kanter: I had so many conversations with LeBron’s ex-teammates and even they are the one that told me that LeBron, all he’s doing is own PR and everything he’s doing trying to stand up for things is not that he really feels about it pic.twitter.com/kuWwoAfoiI
