In a recent interview with CNN, Kanter revealed that the NBA tried to force
him to remove his sneakers.

Kanter近日接受CNN採訪時，提到NBA曾試圖迫使他脫下球鞋

"I remember it was our first game," Kanter told CNN.

我記得當時是(本季)第一場比賽

"It was at Madison Square Garden and I wore 'Free Tibet' shoes and I went out
there. I remember right before the game, two guys from the NBA came up to me
and said, 'You have to take your shoes off, we are begging you'.

那是在麥迪遜花園廣場，我穿了一雙"Free Tibet"(解放西藏)的鞋子。
就在比賽開始前，兩個NBA的工作人員告訴我說"我們求你了，你得脫掉鞋子"

"And I was like: 'I am sorry, what are you talking about?'

"They said: 'You have to take these shoes off, we are getting so many calls'.
And I was like: 'Is there a rule that I am breaking by wearing these shoes?'

"They said 'No'. And I was like: 'Look, I am getting ready for my citizenship
tests and I've been studying really hard. There is 27 amendments and the
first amendment is freedom of speech. I know my rights. You can't take my
rights away from me. I don't care if I am fined. I am not going to take my
shoes off.'"

我反應是"不好意思，你在說什麼?"
他們回答: "你得脫掉這雙鞋子，我們收到好多通電話"


美國憲法二十七條的第一條就是言論自由，我知道我的權利，你不能拿走權利。
我不管我會不會被罰款，我不會脫下鞋子"

Later, Kanter acknowledged that both men apologised to him for their
behaviour and explained why he felt encouraged by the NBA to publicly support
Tibet.

Kanter說後來那兩人有向他致歉，並解釋他為何覺得NBA激勵他公開聲援西藏。

"NBA made me do this," Kanter added. "Because every time when one of the NBA
teams or the commissioner comes out to speak, they say we are encouraging
players to talk about whatever they want to talk about.

"We are giving freedom to our players to talk about all the injustices
happening around the world, all the human rights abuses around the world. So,
they gave me this right."

"是NBA讓我這麼做的"
"每一次NBA隊伍或主席出來發言都說我們鼓勵球員談論任何議題"
"我們給予球員自由去談論世界上所有不公不義、違反人權的事件。
 換言之，他們賦予了我這一權利。"
