Former Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter Freedom said on Tuesday he’s officially begun his “transition” to a WNBA player — and he announced the move with a video that already has social media buzzing.
Freedom shared a clip of him lifting weights while shirtless on his X page at around 7:30 a.m., and by noon, it had already garnered over 1.5 million views.
“Let ‘The Transition’ to the @WNBA begin,” Freedom wrote in a caption on the footage. “Rules Are Rules! #LetFreedomPlay.”
In the vid, Freedom could be seen hitting bicep curls with a pair of heavy dumbbells. His barrel chest and shredded abs were noticeable.
Many of his followers on X raced to the comment section of the post to encourage him as he continues his pursuit of a WNBA career, with one writing, “It’s your time to fly, Queen!”
Freedom initially announced his intentions to join the WNBA on Friday, when he stated that “after careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines” of the league, he was “officially declaring” himself a prospect.
“If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required,” Freedom said, “then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.”

And who’s fault is that...?

This song could assist with his training/transition workouts.
It would also be fantastic for the Pre Game Show

Is this the same coach that stands by and keeps her mouth shut while her star player gets beat up and targeted every game? Idiot.
LOL
“Former NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom begins ‘transition to the WNBA’ with shirtless workout”
Unbelievable COURAGE, allowing the entire world to see his demons and struggles with sexual identity. Only a true man of incredible bravery would do this in such a public way. Oh yeah, and by the way, I hope he flattens the bitches when he plays.
LOL
You know why not make it mixed basketball? 4 woman and one man.
Such a beautiful and brave woman.
Our? Who is this "our" of which you speak? And if you tell the truth and say biological women, you will be put in the rainbow pillory and publicly shamed by the insane left.
LOL. That’s the first thing I thought of too.
Indiana should draft Enes. The WNBA drama will end quickly.
> Such a beautiful and brave woman.<
And a lesbian to boot. More than qualified for the league.

I love that song. I play it every Christmas.
