I Have a Passion for Life
Basketball is what brought Enes Kanter from his home country of Turkey to The United States. He's fallen in love with America and Oklahomans in particular and counts his blessings regularly using them as inspiration to give to others. In short, Enes has a passion for life, basketball and charity. He works with charity world, country, state and local charities to help give to those less fortunate than himself. Whether those in need are hungry, thirsty, lacking of education or clothing, Enes sees each void in a life as his calling to help fill. For his efforts we hope ESPN will honor him as their Humanitarian of the Year.
