To call Enes Kanter's summer an adventure would be an understatement.

The 25-year-old Thunder center celebrated his birthday in airport purgatory, detained by Romanian authorities when his passport was canceled by the Turkish government. After making it back to the United States, he blew the lid off Rudy Gay's free agency visit to Oklahoma City by tweeting a photo of Gay's nameplate on a locker in the Thunder's practice facility.

Of course, Kanter laughs about it now.

“I seriously thought he signed with us, but they just didn't say it publicly,” Kanter told The Oklahoman Tuesday from New York City.
