Enes Kanter is doing a bang-up job of endearing himself to Boston Celtics fans.

The Turkish big man joined the “First Things First” crew Wednesday to talk about a variety of topics, particularly the 2019-20 Celtics. At one point in the discussion, Kanter, who left the Portland Trail Blazers to sign with Boston in July, talked about why he prefers Kemba Walker over Kyrie Irving, who now is a member of the Brooklyn Nets.

“Kyrie’s definitely one of the best point guards,” he said. “When I was with Portland and we played the Celtics (in Boston), I could feel the chemistry wasn’t there. There was like a negative energy.

” … Kemba is a really good leader. I’ll definitely pick Kemba any day over Kyrie.”

Strong words.

Kanter also talked about why elected to sign with Boston.

Also during his visit to the FS1 studios, Kanter gifted a jersey to Nick Wright before making a bet with the notorious Celtics hater.
