The Westbrooks make the perfect duo. Noah is incredibly adorable, and Russell is a natural father – already racking up embarrassing things to show his son later in life.
Enes Kanter Tweets his patriotism:
When it comes to politics, Enes Kanter is nothing if not vocal. But for the most part, his Twitter account is filled with outspoken commentary on the happenings of his Turkish homeland.
However, following a series of protests in Charlotesville, VA over the weekend, Kanter reminded his audience that America is always on his mind.
