The land of the free just gained a new citizen. His name is Freedom.

More specifically, his name is Enes Kanter Freedom. The Boston Celtics center changed his last name and was sworn in as an American citizen on Nov. 29. His old country, Turkey, attempted to kidnap him in Indonesia and canceled his passport when he fled to Romania because he dared to criticize dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Now, in his words, he’s part of the “greatest nation in the world.”
