Kanter trolls King

Enes Kanter has a message for LeBron James: think you’re the king of New York? Prove it.

The Turkish center continued his trolling feud with James during a Twitter Q&A on Monday, daring James to sign with the Knicks to cement his self-proclaimed status as “king of New York.”

“Hey, people keep asking who is the king of New York. Who really is the king of New York?” Kanter asked in a video posted Twitter. “Hey, LeBron, you really want to be king of New York? Come and prove it. I’ll see you July 1st brother. Good luck.’”

July 1 is the start of free agency. James can opt out of his contract with the Cavaliers and become a free agent this summer.

While James has a close relationship with new Knicks coach David Fizdale due to their time together with the Heat, the Knicks remain a longshot to sign James due to little cap flexibility.

If the Knicks were to create enough cap space to sign James, or another big free agent, it would surely require Kanter declining his $18.6 million player option for next season.

James’ “king of New York” claim stems from a declaration he made on Instagram following a Cavs win over the Knicks at Madison Square Garden in November. James posted a photo of himself standing on the Knicks logo with the caption “You’re welcome.. (crown emoji) of NY #myfavoriteplayground #striveforgreatness”

An agitated Kanter responded to James’ post by referring to the four-time MVP as a “queen” and a “princess.”
