Boston Celtics: Nick Wright continues crusade against Enes Kanter
By Sam Minton
Nick Wright has continued to bash the Boston Celtics and Enes Kanter for reasons unbeknownst to the rest of the NBA world.
The Boston Celtics got to introduce Kemba Walker and Enes Kanter to the media on Wednesday. Fans finally got to see what Kanter and Walker would look like in those famous Celtics jersey’s.
It was a great start to a season that is filled with hope. Boston is yearning for a group that they will enjoy cheering for. Kyrie Irving made that really hard to attain during the 2018-19 season.

Irving would consistently blame teammates as well as media members. Boston just wasn’t a good fit for the point guard.
Kanter has already done a lot to get Celtics fans excited. He professed his love for Tom Brady and also got in some clean shots at Kyrie Irving’s expense.
There is one person that appears to be Kanter’s biggest hater, Nick Wright of Fox Sports 1. He has consistently trashed the signing ever since it was announced.
Wright was at it again on Friday and just had to give his opinion on Kanter.

I honestly don’t know what Kanter did to Wright to deserve this. He may have said he had funny hair, but I don’t think that sets someone off to this level.
Kanter is a solid player who will help the Celtics on the boards. Also I think Kanter will be great for the locker room. He seems like a fun guy that will give everything for his teammates.
It is not such an outlandish idea that the Celtics were heavily interested in Kanter. He fills their need for a big man who can rebound. I also expect to see an improved scoring output from Boston’s frontcourt.

Unlike Nick Wright I am glad that Enes Kanter is in Boston and I think he and the Boston Celtics will have a successful season. This will be one of many Nick Wright takes where fans will be laughing at him once the season is over.
