A pro basketball player is celebrating his freedom by adopting the very word. Turkish native Enes Kanter, a center with the Boston Celtics, became a U.S. citizen on Monday. He’s also legally changing his name to “Enes Kanter Freedom.” The 11-year NBA vet is a vocal critic for human rights issues and says his name change reflects that commitment.
