The University of Alabama’s chapter of Young Americans for Freedom will host former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom at “Beyond the Buzzer: Basketball, Controversy, & Freedom” on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Gorgas Library Yellowhammer Room.
Freedom, known as a human rights activist and a The New York Times best-selling author, played 11 seasons in the NBA after moving to the United States from Turkey.
Caleb Elmore, president of YAF, said a lot of preparation went into bringing the event into fruition after working with YAF nationals to get in contact with Freedom. Elmore said the organization expects this to be one of their biggest events of the semester.
Freedom is expected to talk about transgender athletes’ participation in the WNBA. In August, Freedom declared himself a WNBA prospect.
“If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA,” Freedom said in a social media post.
Both Freedom and Royce White, also a former NBA player, were later denied eligibility by WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
Freedom is also public about his dissent against the Turkish government, and claims the NBA will not sign him because of his outspokenness against the Chinese Communist Party.
Admission to the event is free, and anyone interested in attending can register on YAF’s website.
“Hopefully, it will be a great success, and we’ll get some good conversations started,” Elmore said.
