It's no secret that the Boston Celtics forward is a man on a mission. The Turkish-born hooper has recently become a United States citizen and changed his name to Enes Kanter Freedom. In recent months, Kanter Freedom has become a vocal critic of the Chinese government, Nike, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and anyone he sees as standing in the way of human rights.

To the surprise of no one, Kanter Freedom has made enemies through his activism. However, the activist tweeted a video on Saturday in which he thanked Atlanta Hawks legend and current broadcaster Dominique Wilkins for his support of the Uyghur people. Check it out below.

“What is happening to the Uyghurs is one of the worst human rights abuses in the world today.”

We can NOT stay silent

Huge thanks to my brother @NBA legend @DWilkins21 for being the strong voice of all those innocent Uyghur people in Concentration Camps

There is not much information on when or how this conversation took place. However, the clip clearly consists of two videos spliced together. This would not be the first time that Wilkins has waded into politics. During the 2020 Democratic Primary, Wilkins was a major supporter of Andrew Yang before eventually supporting Joe Biden in the general election.

@JoeBiden Congratulations my friend! We are very happy for you! We can finally breathe again in this country!
