Enes Kanter defends Thunder after Durant criticism

Enes Kanter Thunder

Enes Kanter defended his Oklahoma City Thunder in a tweet sent Tuesday, seemingly in response to Kevin Durant throwing shade at the organization.

Here’s what Kanter, who has been with the Thunder for two and a half seasons after starting his career with the Utah Jazz, had to say:

“I don’t care what anyone says. Oklahoma City Thunder is the best and most professional organization in the NBA and got the craziest fans,” Kanter says in his statement.

“We win-We lose but the most important thing we stick together because we are one.

“And those cats, I call them FAMILY.”

Kanter’s remarks come one day after tweets sent and deleted from Durant’s Twitter account made headlines. In his tweets, whoever was tweeting from Durant’s account said the MVP didn’t like the organization or playing for Billy Donovan. The tweets also were critical of the Thunder’s roster outside of Russell Westbrook. Kanter would be included in that group, which is why he probably took offense.
