Turkish-born Oklahoma City Thunder player Enes Kanter has a lot to say since having his passport revoked in his home country. On Monday, Kanter spoke with 'CBS This Morning' about his recent experience in Indonesia. "I was sleeping around 2:30 or something and my manager knocked on my door. He said the Secret Service and the Indonesian army were looking for me because the Turkish government told them I was a dangerous man." Kanter, an outspoken critic of Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, believes he has now become a target for his dissenting political views. "I'm getting death threats almost every day, still. I believe when I leave this set, when I leave this room, I'm going to keep getting death threats, but you know what? I stand by what I believe." Erdogan has allegedly declared a state of emergency while arresting journalists, closing news outlets, and overall jailing over 140,000 people.
