Enes Kanter to hire Mark Bartelstein as new agent
He hopes that Bartelstein will find some endorsement deals for him
Turkish big man Enes Kanter has struggled to find endorsement deals due to his problems with the Turkish government. Many companies, in fact, are scared to lose clients in that area, if they'll do business with Kanter. Recently the Knicks big man lost an endorsement deal with Nike for this reason. Now Kanter has decided to hire a new agent to fix this issue. His new agent will be Mark Bartelstein, the leader of Priority Sports.
"At least I'll make some money off the court," Kanter said. "Because outside of the court I make almost no money because of all the Turkish stuff because American companies are scared to give me a contract."
