Enes Kanter Freedom says he'll accept Yao Ming's invitation to China — but only under the following conditions [video]

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter Freedom recently got word that Yao Ming has invited him to visit China in order to “have a more comprehensive understanding of us.”

State-affiliated China.org.cn’s tweet about the invitation seems to have disappeared, but for what it’s worth, this morning, Kanter Freedom said that he’d be glad to accept such an invitation. With a few stipulations, of course:

Hey @YaoMing
I heard that you are inviting me to China this summer.
Ok, I accept your invite,
I will be coming to China this summer,

Can we get an “Amen”? How about billions of them?

We will never not be in awe of Enes Kanter Freedom’s willingness to put it all on the line to stand up to the Chinese government.
