In the NBA, there is probably no bigger fan of the WWE than New York Knicks big man Enes Kanter. As a matter of fact, the 26-year-old considers WWE legend The Undertaker as a lifelong hero.

So much so that Kanter nearly lost it when The Undertaker was defeated in WrestleMania XXX, ending a two decade-long winning streak in shocking fashion.

“My heart just dropped,” Kanter told Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic. “When I see that moment I’m like this is not happening. That was the first time when I felt really, really bad. Oh my God, I actually feel really bad. This is fake but I feel bad.”

The Knicks big man has the reputation of being the league's resident joker, but he was being dead serious here. In fact, the former third overall pick is such a fanboy that he was absolutely smitten that time he met The Undertaker in person.

“When he was coming out my knees were shaking, I promise,” Kanter said. “I know a lot of legend basketball players or legend people or famous celebrities or whatever but I never had that feeling before. Seriously. He is the one.”

No wonder Kanter carries himself the way he does. Now it makes so much sense. Kanter is indeed oozing of The Undertaker's style and swagger, especially in the way he conducts his trash talking with almost every other player he comes across. He is definitely the NBA's version of The Undertaker.
