As the country deals with the consequences of more than two million people breaking our laws and illegally entering our country at our southern border, it is refreshing to remember those individuals who become American citizens the right way.
One of our new American citizens plays center for the Boston Celtics, Enes Kanter. He is in his eleventh season in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Starting today, his new official name is Enes Kanter Freedom. In honor of becoming an American citizen today, he added a new last name, Freedom, which has a very American ring to it.
Kanter Freedom is the type of American citizen our country desperately needs. He will be called Freedom because he appreciates what all Americans still possess, which is the right to act, speak, write, and think without restraint.
In an NBC interview in January of 2021, Kanter Freedom expressed his appreciation for this country and his excitement about becoming an American citizen. He said, “I’m even thinking about adding an American name. I think it’s an amazing honor to become a citizen here. I’m just like why not? Why not add an American name?”
There is nothing more American than freedom. This basic human right is what our country used to represent to people across the world. Unfortunately, American freedom is currently under constant assault with mass surveillance, censorship, lockdowns, mandates, and government overreach into every area of life for the average citizen.

Finally, an NBA star to admire.
Well if Cassius Clay can change his name to Muhammad Ali... Enes Kanter Freedom isn’t much of a change.
Heck, another NBA player who used to be known as Ron Artest became Meta World Peace.
Enes Kanter is not half the basketball player Lebron James is, but he’s at least twice the American that James is. He shows far more courage and moral principle than most members of Congress, for that matter - both Democrat and Republican. I’m glad he decided to become a US citizen - our nation will be that much better for it.
