Stein pointed out that according to the information he received, in addition to “Short Tang” Thomas, Kanter, a human rights fighter who has repeatedly defended Taiwan’s democratic values, was also targeted by Taiwan’s professional basketball team. .
“Taiwan general” Kanter was persecuted by the Turkish government, so he strongly supported human rights and democratic values. He has repeatedly supported Taiwan, Hong Kong and Tibet. He also praised Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen as a “great hero”, so he is called “The most supportive NBA player”, although he suspected that no team dares to sign due to his anti-centrism, but said frankly : “I have no regrets. These things are so much more important than me, the NBA, and even the entire basketball world.” .
