The Boston Celtics signed Enes Kanter and C’s fans are already getting introduced to the colorful character.

The Boston Celtics needed a big man ever since the departure of Al Horford. For right now it looks like Enes Kanter will be that guy.

Kanter may not be the player that Al Horford was but he has grit and I think his tenacity will electrify the team.

Now one of the things that make Kanter such an interesting player is his attitude. If you thought Marcus Smart was an agitator wait until you see Kanter.

I am pretty sure that once Kanter and Smart retire they could become a WWE tag team. The NBA better watch their backs. If anyone messes with the Celtics they will have hell to pay.

It looks like Kanter is already getting some practice in the ring. A video of him wrestling has made it’s way across the internet and it’s quite impressive. By the end of the season we might be seeing Kanter choke slam someone through the parquet at TD Garden.

Then there is the event that will make him a fan favorite in Boston.

Fox Sports 1 Nick Wright was sputing his usual nonsense and claimed that the Celtics were a disaster. I would say that is far from the truth. One guy that wasn’t too pleased was Enes Kanter.

If you want to get Celtics fans on your side just roast Nick Wright. Now let’s address Wright’s take.

The Boston Celtics are not the Eastern Conference Finals, but they are still a top team. If everything works out well they could nabbed the 2nd or 3rd seed.

The acquisition of Kemba Walker will help Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Hopefully he will defer more to the young stars compared to Kyrie Irving.

Also Kanter won’t be too shabby himself. I expect him to be a beast on the boards. That is definitley an area of the game that Boston needs to improve in.

Next. Terry Rozier gets the payday he desires. dark

Enes Kanter is aready proving to be a fan favorite off the court, hopefully his play on the court will make him even more likable.
