“Making No Sense”: NBA Champion Blasts Enes Kanter Freedom’s Attempt to Save WNBA After Natasha Cloud Incident

Enes Kanter Freedom caused quite a stir on Sunday when he was in attendance at the Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky game. Freedom was kicked out of the Wintrust Arena in Chicago when he got into a heated argument with Sky star Natasha Cloud. Due to his recent shenanigans, some WNBA players, including Cloud, didn't appreciate his presence on Sunday.

Former NBA champion Stephen Jackson went on social media to call out Freedom for his attempt to retaliate against the WNBA. He shared his view that men don't belong in women's sports leagues. Jackson can't fathom what exactly Freedom is trying to fight for.

"Man, y'all got to stop the clown s**t," Jackson said in a video he uploaded on Instagram. "I got daughters. ... There's no woman that could play in the NBA, bro. ... A man should not belong in no woman's sports. ... Y'all are making no sense. Y'all are trying to make it about Enes Kanter? ... I don't understand what the problem is with him. ... Y'all want to accept grown men with balls playing women's sports and just accept that he's a woman? No, man. I got daughters. Other fathers with daughters agree with me. You don't want any man in women's sports. This is clown s**t."

Freedom's agenda is to support the transgender players' right to enter the WNBA draft simply because they also identify as women. The former NBA star believes that because the WNBA's rules state that "players who are women" are eligible to enter the draft, transgender players should be allowed to enter, too.

Enes Kanter Freedom Doubles Down on Stance to Enter WNBA Draft

The WNBA recently declared that Enes Kanter Freedom and fellow former NBA player Royce White aren't eligible to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft. The announcement came after Freedom's incident with Natasha Cloud on Sunday.

Not too long after, Freedom was invited on Fox News for an interview to talk about his thoughts on the matter. Despite the current circumstances, Freedom still believes that he can enter the draft because the WNBA's rules still state that "if you identify as a woman", then one should be eligible to enter the draft.

"Listen, Article 13, Section 1 says if you identify as a woman, then you are allowed to play. I identify as a woman, so yes, I can play," Freedom said in an interview. "That's the rules that (the WNBA) put. I'm just following the rules. If they ever come out and say, 'Okay, we are changing the rules.' I'll respect their decision. I will follow the rules. But right now, if you identify as a woman, you're allowed to play. I am a woman. I should be allowed to play. See?"

Given how things stand, the best the WNBA can do for now is change the exact wording of its rules and guidelines if it wants Freedom to put an end to his antics.
