Having finished an impressive turnaround to take down the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, New York Knicks center Enes Kanter gave actor and comedian Tracy Morgan a Thanksgiving gift to never forget — his size 16 game-worn shoes.

The Turkish big man was happy to give away his shoes after giving Knicks fans the biggest of gifts with a 108-100 win over the Raptors.
Facing an 11-point deficit at the half, New York rebounded in a historical way, getting off to a 28-0 run in the third quarter, the most since a LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers did so against the Milwaukee Bucks in 2009.
Kanter had a modest outing, compared to game-high scorer Tim Hardaway Jr.'s 38 points, rather filling the stat sheet with 11 points, four rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two blocks.
While his stats weren't the most memorable, this pair of kicks surely will be as the Knicks showed their mettle in front of a packed house at Madison Square Garden, demonstrating enough resilience to come back against one of the elite teams in the Eastern Conference.
Morgan's Knicks collection is only getting bigger, but this one will take a special place as this Knicks team has captivated these hopeful fans after getting off to a 10-7 start to the season.
