Enes Kanter is one of the most outspoken players in the NBA. Even against arguably the best player in the NBA in LeBron James, the New York Knicks' center is a regular troll. On Saturday afternoon, the Cleveland Cavaliers battled the Oklahoma City Thunder, Kanter's old team. The Thunder wiped the floor with the Cavs, beating them 148-124.
Of course, Kanter had a savage reaction on Twitter to the Cavs' loss and it might have been aimed towards James himself.

There are many things disturbing about this game. To begin, James only scored 18 points, which was seven shy of him reaching 30,000 career points. Second, the Thunder dropped 148 on the Cavs which still presents a burning question as to how Cleveland's defense will improve if they hope to contend this season. Lastly, the Thunder blatantly dominated the Cavs. Russell Westbrook scored 23 points, dished out 20 assists, and grabbed nine boards. Paul George outplayed James, scoring 36 points in their match-up. Carmelo Anthony lit the home team up with 29 points, and Steven Adams scored 25 points while grabbing 10 rebounds.
Hence, it's no surprise that Kanter was quick to give his remarks to his former Thunder squad. Looking at the context of the Knicks big man's tweet, one can clearly see the crown, which symbolizes James' moniker as “The King.” Also, Kanter cleverly used James' trademark hashtag — “Strive for Greatness.” It appears that no matter how long the season progresses, Kanter will brutally troll James every chance he gets.
James, who is fond of social media himself, is bound to reply back with his own response down the road.
