Enes Kanter Freedom<\/a> does not have children at present, but if he ever has a daughter, she won\u2019t be allowed to date NBA players. Freedom appeared on the latest episode of the Unlocked<\/a> podcast, where he claimed almost every NBA player cheats on their partner.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo all the parents out there,\u201d Freedom said. \u201c\u2026 If I have a daughter, I would not let her date an athlete, especially an NBA player. I know some of the stories, which we can get into it if you want, but I think over 95, and I\u2019m being nice, percent of the NBA players cheats.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Utah Jazz<\/a> had selected Freedom with the No. 3 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Like most, he was subjected to some rookie hazing, and he claims one of his tasks was to carry his teammates\u2019 second phones, which they used to cheat.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I had to charge all 12 phones, and whenever we go back on the road, I have to bring [them],\u201d Freedom said. \u201cI had like a huge bag. I had to put like 12 phones in it, and I had to bring it in and just pass it on when we\u2019re in the road games. It was just bad, man. I mean, I see all these girls were just waiting for us in the hotel room. I had respect for everyone out there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not do any of that because I have morals and values and principles, but I mean, they were just waiting for it,\u201d Freedom added. \u201cIt was just like a menu, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether fair or foul, NBA players have earned a reputation for being cheaters over the years. Freedom, who played for five teams in 11 seasons, claims he is being nice by saying over 95 percent cheat.<\/p>\n

We recently had rapper Megan Thee Stallion accuse Miami Heat guard Klay Thompson of cheating on her<\/a>. Megan claimed Thompson<\/a> wasn\u2019t sure if he could be monogamous, and they split.<\/p>\n

Now, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas has actually explained how players cheat on their wives<\/a>. Arenas<\/a> mentioned that they travel all over the country during the season and get together with different women in every city they go to. He then bluntly stated that he lies to his wife every day and that her job is to catch the lies. That sure isn\u2019t healthy.<\/p>\n

Arenas has also claimed that 70% of NBA players\u2019 girlfriends would cheat on them<\/a>, too. Talk about a mess.<\/p>\n

Freedom has made plenty of controversial statements in recent times, but not wanting his daughter to date an NBA player might not be one of them. You can see where he is coming from based on Arenas\u2019 comments.<\/p>\n

Now, what was controversial was Freedom claiming that over 80 percent of NBA locker rooms are homophobic<\/a>. The 34-year-old said they hate the LGBTQ community, but will never come out and say it. Freedom also added that no NBA player would want a gay teammate. Only one openly gay player has played in the NBA, and that was the late Jason Collins<\/a> in 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Enes Kanter Freedom does not have children at present, but if he ever has a daughter, she won\u2019t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":941645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":["post-941644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/941644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=941644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/941644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/941645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=941644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=941644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=941644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
