This guy should help mentor Kanter.

[addictionary]

What about this guy ? He can mentor Kanter, too. Helping with handling the ball, passing,getting a big-contract and sitting that lazy *** on it...

He had try outs with Clippers. He won't play in Europe. I cannot imagine what the outcome would be. I hope he stops making a fool of himself. And he stops buttering PM.

and there was this Screech dude .
In one episode he had said "today's nerds are the rich guys of the future, gals, so be nice to them".
I spent my whole life, chasing after this dream (Nerd guy turns into millionaire).








to no avail...

 

[Krespino]

You want to see and hate that *******, who was the reason why Kanter was ruled ineligible at Kentucky ? You want to see and hate that ******* ?

The president of Fenerbahce Istanbul, who is in Europe only known because of match-fixing. Look at that ******** face,you hate him but he likes it... "Lord Aziz Yildirim"

Absolute crap; don't bring your lies here...

And don't misrepresent the Kanter case before the American public: NCAA had asked Fenerbahce franchise on whether Kanter had been paid previously. Obviously the reality was that he WAS paid $33,000, in relation with his playing in Euro League games.
What was Fenerbahce supposed to do when the NCAA board demanded the info formally from Fenerbahce?
Provide false information intentionally? Lie to NCAA, deceive them?
Just answer that clearly. Or apologise for misrepresentation.
The payment was in club records, showed in the accounting books, as it was supposed to be.

Fenerbahce is by far Turkey's largest and most respectable sports franchise (which, for example, is paying one player this current season, Linas Kleiza, 3 million Euros - app $4 million, although undeservedly in my opinion - Kleiza being only one of several high salary players on the roster.)
Fenerbahce is a prominent Euroleague franchise.
(NBA teams are playing European tour games in Turkey only with Fenerbahce; last year The Celtics and this year the OKC were in Istanbul for playing the games.)
Do you think Fenerbahce would go into a thing like deceiving the NCAA board of the USA?

Not even thinkable. But how about the "sports ethics" of their main rival in Turkey (of which this guy is a fan obviously) who, for example, were "ingenious and clever" to play a suspended basketball player during period of suspension in someone else's uniform??
Let's say Taj Gibson was suspended by the NBA for five official games for some reason; two games later Gibson was on the floor playing the whole game (in a small city) but in a jersey that read Nazr Mohammed... And the team staff did declare to the NBA, signed formal match papers etc that the player WAS Nazr Mohammed... Most obvious attempt to knowingly deceive everybody. Hoping nobody would notice, because not many spectators... You have pictures from that game showing Taj Gibson in jersey that reads Nazr Mohammed, but Mohammed was not even in town that day...
Exact same situation took place in Turkey, Turkish basketball. No explanation, just silence from "the clever" side. And can you believe that they did it in not one but two games?.. Yes, in two games they did.
I'm not mentioning the name of that team; everyone close to Turkish sports knows who I'm talking about.

 

[CAKAR]

I just threw in a bone and see who is coming.

You are talking nonsense and this is not a board where you can live out youre rivality. Fenerbahce SK is the most criminal franchise in Europe with their godfather president Aziz Yildirim and their soccer team got banned for 2/3 years from european competition because of that.

Aziz Yildirim tried to take revenge, because he never wanted Kanter to leaf Fenerbahce. Also former Fenerbahce coach Tanjevic and the Fenerbahce lobby is one of the reasons why Kanter has trouble playing for the national team.

Aziz Yildirim is criminal and you can not trust criminals and their intentions. Fenerbahce SK has blamed turkish sports all over europe...

https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/23769348

"Europe's governing body Uefa expelled Fenerbahce in June for two years after judging that club officials helped fix matches to win the 2011 Turkish league title."

https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/t...case-.aspx?pageID=238&nID=61204&NewsCatID=362
"The Supreme Court of Appeals approved the conviction of Fenerbahçe chairman Aziz Yıldırım in the Turkish football match-fixing case saga on Jan. 17."

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/aug/28/fenerbahce-expelled-europe-match-fixing

"Fenerbahce have been excluded from European competition for the next two years after losing an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) against a Uefa sanction for match-fixing."

------------------------

Aziz Yildirim his criminal *** will go to jail and Fenerbahce SK is banned from european competition for the next 2 or 3 years. So please do not waste youre time as a member of Azizbahce SK talking about sports ethics when your team is banned from european competition, because of match fixing.

Fenerbahce is not even Fenerbahce anymore, its the toy of godfather Aziz Yildirim who is doing what ever he wants. Its Azizbahce right now.

[Krespino]

CAKAR, I don't know who employed you or paying for your efforts of disseminating your lies related to what's happening in Turkey, unnecessarily in a basketball forum in the USA.

American people can learn from international news media about the current story in Turkey.

Your words:
"Aziz Yildirim tried to take revenge, because he never wanted Kanter to leaf Fenerbahce. Also former Fenerbahce coach Tanjevic and the Fenerbahce lobby is one of the reasons why Kanter has trouble playing for the national team."

Really?? You must be just out of the madhouse... Aziz Yildirim, then president of Fenerbahce, has offered a $5 million contract to Enes, when he was like 17 years old, for the next couple of years so that he can develop to become a top level player around top level coaching, play in Euroleague. And join NBA maybe at 21-22.
(The Fenerbahce and later Turkish national team coach you mention, Tanjevic, is a renowned European coach, not a Turk, and as per his position to European basketball he is like what Greg Popovich or Phil Jackson is to NBA... But not cheap to hire him of course.)
The amount offered to Enes was unprecedentent for a Turkish player. Enes (or possibly his father deciding for him) turned the offer down. There was nothing wrong with Fenerbahce's offer; no other Turkish franchise offered even half a million dollar, you need to understand that. It was an idea, it was rejected, case closed.

Why the hell Fenerbahce president should never want Kanter "to leaf" Fenerbahce? Was he that important, at that age? No. He was only a talent. Fenerbahce always plays some of Europe's best international players, and some even form the NBA anyway.

Enes refusing to join the national team was in no way related with the Fenerbahce offer made to him years ago. Your thinking is pure nonsense. If he was even sore with a franchise how does that substantiate degrading the national team? Like LeBron breaks with Cleveland that year and for THAT reason he turns down the USA olympics team invitation THREE YEARS LATER and plus he twits a message of enjoyment a few minutes after the USA team lost their first game in the olympics?? WOW. Your logic is interesting indeed.
(You can see what kind of people these Fenerbahce haters are... Their level of intelligence.)

Hey dude, you have not yet replied to clear questions of 1)Should Fenerbahce franchise have lied to the NCAA board and provide misleading information? 2) Why did your franchise deliberately deceive the public by playing a suspended player under someone else's identity?
Hey, these are not difficult questions to comprehend; in case you are someone who "leaf't" Turkey to get education in the States, you must have learned enough English already to understand those simple questions??
(BTW, I am a Turk that has lived and presently lives in Turkey.)

Enes should stop being so engaged in domestic politics in Turkey. That is the part that concers Utah Jazz fans I guess.
(In Turkey there is presently a very serious fight going on, a divide between people who want to turn the state to a religious one, with a ruling and lifestyle dictated by religion, and the people who want to live in a secular state, the ones with pro-western values and lifestyle choice.)

It is none of Enes's business, at his young age, to be involved in this fierce political fight; he should concentrate on HIS job of playing basketball and improving in that. He should not spend time on what is going on in Turkey (from strong political message on twitter by him in favor of one side of the political fight, I get the impression he does spend time.)
Whatever political belief or values he is attached to, he would serve them best by excelling in his own job of developing to having a succesfull NBA career of 10-15 years, and earning a lot of money, proving himself as a success figure and role model.
He is believed to have talent and has been drafted as the third pick; which I think is not happening in the next 50 or 80 years, seriously, someone from this geography being drafted top three.
Don't waste that opportunity Enes !! Focus only on basketball...
Being drafted third pick is one thing but it's more important to living up to the expectations and the hype.

 

[CAKAR]

Turkish politics is at my *** and Iam not talking about turkish politics. Iam talking about the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) who banned Fenerbahce for 2 years from european competition due to match fixing. Turkish politics tried to rescue the Godfather Aziz and his criminal club but failed because of european court. The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body banned Fenerbahce because of match fixing, you can read it at the UEFA.com ( Union of European Football Associations) hp.

Who is lying here ?
https://www.uefa.org/disciplinary/news/newsid=1967131.html

---------------------------

Aziz Yildirim is known as a mafiaboss for fixing sport competition and for having big influence on turkish sports federation. So their is not guarantee that he is not fixing documents and sending them to NCAA. But thats just a notion and I know that Aziz Yildirim´s Fenerbahce lobby is one reason for Kanter´s issues with national team.

My logic is "Do not trust criminals who destroyed turkish sports", youre logic is "ALL HEILL AZIZ BABA; ALL HAIL AZIZ BABA" he is destroying the image and the future of your own team but your still "ALL HAILL AZIZ BABA", just never use your own brain and see the truth.

------------------------------------------

+ You do not have to talk about how great Fenerbahce is. The only sports in europe with real relevance is soccer and like I see Fenerbahce is not even at the Top 40 of UEFA CL all time list. Maaan after their ban from european competition they will not even be at top 50 anymore. So pls...
https://www.fussballdaten.de/championsleague/ewigetabelle/

+ I do not think that American Sport Fans care about or discussion or your godfather Aziz or your team Fenerbahce. I just wanted to show the face of turkish sports satan the real deal Aziz Yildirim. But I have to admit, he looks sexy from left.

-----------------

P.S

If you really want to know. A guy from Pennsylvania, in turkey lovely called "HocaEFENDI" is paying me a few millions for doing this work. You can complain about him, not me.

PP.S
Its sweet that you really think that Iam a Galatasaray Fan just because I hate turkish sports and turkish sports mafia. And you really compare that little case in basketball with fixing a championship ? Come on, you are comparing Jamaal Tinsley with Magic Johnson.

 

[Krespino]

CAKIR, who the hell are you bringing up names from Turkey and presenting them in a degrading /defamatory way that would create a negative image about their personalities, first Aziz Yildirim now Hocaefendi?
Why would the fans of the Utah Jazz care about those Turkish personalities?
Do not associate your nonsense and absurdities with Hocaefendi; why are you portraying him to the American public in a negative way?

You say you have a hatred for Turkish sports but in reality you seem to be a troll who has deep hatred for the Turks, or anything Turkish. For whatever racist or cultural reason of your own.
What is your problem with the Turks dude; did your Turkish boyfriend treat you harshly, or rather did not treat you harshly enough?...
And as per your posting Fenerbahce president's picture and declaring you find him sexy, I don't think you would have any chance, since he seems to be a happily married man and not someone who would show interest in softs...
Just beat it Turk-hater loser...

Lol, this is so my thread... I could write pages about FB, Aziz Basgan, Gulen, Turkish Football, Turkish Basketball etc... But ironically, I just don't see any of them worth writing about.

I just hope Enes mind his own business only and work on his game away from all this stuff.

Ok lets put all the facts together ? Are you ready for it ?

1. First of all, I think that Iam way better briefed about turkish sports than you, little boy. I just was using a small sample of irony, because the Fenerbahce-Community in turkey is blaming the match-fixing scandal where Fenerbahce as a team was involved on Hocaefendi.
Aziz Yildirim officially is not Fenerbahce President anymore, there has been an ongoing trial process about this issue in turkey, and the high court of appeal has announced that fenerbahce was involved in match-fixing, a few days ago the court of cassation has approved this desicion. They have withdrawn Aziz Yildirim´s authorization as a president of a Sports-franchise and right now he is staying in france, will come back on tuesday 9 p.m and get his well deserved punishment in jail.
Also the Disciplinary Body from the Union of European Football Associations has announced that Aziz Yildirim and his criminal organization was involved in match-fixing to reach Turkish National Championchip of the 2010-2011 also the Court of Arbitration for Sport has approved this decision.
The Turkish Football Association and Politicians worked together to prevent Fenerbahçe SK from relegation and refused national punishment to this club. With this involvment they have risked the future of Fenerbahce Istanbul and Turkish Football just to prevent a mafiaboss like Aziz Yildirim from punishment. The UEFA lead by Gianni Infantino and monsieur Platini has not done jet, their will be more punishment against Fenerbahce and if they refuse it, they will ban the Turkish Nationalteam and all Soccer-Clubs from european competetion for years. Your OK with that ? (Its just a hypothetical question)

2. Thanks to Addictionary I researched about that case you have brought for comparison with your rival team Galatasaray Istanbul. It´s a big question, why this dumbass felt the need to play a banned player in a friendly match, but normally you can not compare that to a match fixing case. Match-Fixing is like killing the nature of sports, showing that hard work can not pay out to reach glory.
I directly saw that the reaction of your rival team was totally different, than what I saw from Fenerbahce as a club.The complete department of Galatasaray-Basketball resigned after this scandal , everyone involved got banned from the team and the management was ready to accept every way of punishment from the TBF-Disciplinary Body.
Fenerbahce the other way, even after the punishment from the Union of European Football Associations and after Fenerbahce got banned for 2 years from european competition, they have not accepted the punishment and the Fenerbahce Congress reelected him again as Fenerbahce president.
The reaction of your rival was way more honorable It hink.



3. Iam one of the biggest Kanter supporter on this board, so I do not think that Iam racist against turks or something. I just hate turkish-sports-system which is acting corruptly and is defending criminals like Aziz Yildirim. Every person with sportsmanship in his heart would hate criminal people like Aziz Yildirim who are raping turkish sports and are holding back the national potential to achieve something in international sports.
Even the possibility that this criminal Aziz Yildirim guy, could have played with Enes Kanters career, is doing me crazy.
