In the video which was posted on twitter earlier and is now viral on internet, Enes applauded Nike for raising their voice against injustice in United States of America and later criticized the brand for remaining silent when it comes to China by referring to them as puppet. He in the video quoted: “We need to call out these companies. Nike, the biggest sponsor of NBA. In America, they stand with Black Lives Matter, Latino community, No Asian Hate, and the LGBTQ community, but when it comes to China, they remain silent.”


Further adding to it he questioned all the Americans watching the video that every time they use their products think about the blood and sweat on it. Educating yourself before signing the papers was also a point highlighted by the 6’10” center. Which was a signal towards all the athletes in the world signing endorsement deals with the company. Enes also stated that principles, morals and values are more important to him and not money and that’s how it should be for every athlete in the world.
