After all the hardships he has gone through, he was ecstatic to finally become a citizen of a free country.

Just hours after being sworn in, Freedom appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to talk about his experience. The NBA veteran was proudly wearing a shirt with the words “U.S. Citizen” written above an American flag.

“I can just easily say that this is the greatest day in my life,” Freedom said. “You know, it was my dream the first day I stepped into America.”

Freedom said he received a green card about six years ago. Since then, his home country has not made things easy for him.

“You know, after I got my green card, obviously it’s been a rough six years because [the] Turkish government revoked my passport and put my name on [the] INTERPOL list,” he said.

According to CNN, Freedom has been a vocal opponent of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Since speaking out, he said he has faced death threats and seen his father arrested.

He told Carlson that his first experience with liberty in America was a shocking change.

“I remember [the] first time I came to America. … It was back in 2009,” Freedom said. “One of my teammates criticized the president. And I turned around and I told him, I was like, ‘Dude, what are you doing? They’re gonna throw you in jail.’

“And he told me, he started laughing and said, ‘This is America, don’t worry about it. You are not in Turkey anymore.’ I was very shocked.”

Freedom said earning U.S. citizenship was “the greatest feeling that I ever had.”

In addition to becoming a citizen, he decided to change his last name to Freedom to celebrate his new country.

Freedom has also been an outspoken critic of the Chinese Communist Party. He has taken particular issue with their treatment of Uyghurs, as well as citizens of Taiwan and Hong Kong.

“There are so many, you know, athletes, so many actors, so many celebrities out there who are scared because if they criticize China, obviously they will be affected,” he told Carlson.

“You know, their endorsement deals, their contract or … their money will be affected. And they’re scared to say anything. But to me, you know, human rights, democracy and freedom is way more important than everything they can offer me.”

Throughout the interview, Carlson was grinning from ear to ear with visible happiness for Freedom. In a time when negative stories seem to dominate nightly news, a star athlete proud to become an American was clearly a welcome change of pace.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at feedback@stillnessinthestorm.com.
