Enes Kanter’s run in Oklahoma City came to an end after the Thunder were knocked out in the first round of the 2017 NBA Playoffs by the Houston Rockets. While Kanter posted solid numbers in his time with the Thunder — 14.2 points and 8.0 rebounds per game over 180 contests, primarily coming off the bench — and had fun off the court with his Stache Brother, Steven Adams, what was possibly the Turkish center’s most memorable moment from his time in Oklahoma City wasn’t exactly a positive.

In the first game against the Rockets of the aforementioned postseason, Kanter was caught in the middle of a pick-and-roll and, well, his defense didn’t exactly look pretty.

And Thunder head coach Billy Donovan wasn’t too keen on what he saw.

Kanter eventually got his shot at payback against Donovan when the center’s Portland Trail Blazers faced the Thunder in the first round of the 2019 NBA Playoffs. Kanter made sure to perform — as did his teammates. The now-Boston Celtics center explained his mission to Alex Kennedy of USA TODAY SMG’s HoopsHype:

I just wanted to go out there and prove everybody wrong. I wanted to go show the whole world, yes, I can play. Yes, you can play Kanter. My focus was just going out there and playing for my team and just winning. With the leadership of Dame [Lillard] and CJ [McCollum], the game just comes so easily and we were able to win that series.

Now over two seasons removed from his last with the Thunder, Kanter signed a two-year deal with the Celtics this summer and has a player option for 2020.
