Enes Freedom was placed on Turkey's most-wanted terrorists list
While leading a basketball camp in Vatican City, Enes Kanter Freedom received a phone call from the FBI. Freedom was told to return to America immediately.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Turkish government placed a bounty worth up to 10 million Turkish lira, or $500,000, for his capture.
The former NBA center revealed more about his initial reaction to the news in an interview on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
"When I had a conversation with my friends on the ground, they said the mafia, the serial killers actually, professional hitmen and cartels could be after my case," said Freedom. "And I was speechless. I was like, 'This cannot be happening to an American citizen on U.S. soil.'"
