Are you excited for the Celtics’ season opener? Enes Kanter sure is.
The Turkish big man makes his regular-season debut for Boston on Wednesday as the C’s take on the 76ers in Philadelphia. And kicking things off against a conference rival like the Sixers is just what Kanter has been looking forward to all along.
“It’s gonna be definitely special, man,” Kanter tells NBC Sports Boston. “Obviously, you think about all the players that played for this city and this team — you know, Larry (Bird), Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, (Robert) Parish and all those amazing Hall of Famers — and now you’re like, ‘Man, you have a big responsibility on your shoulders. You have to bring it every night.'”
