VIDEO : NBA Star Receiving 'Hundreds Of Death Threats'

CNN reports NBA star Enes Kanter has received "hundreds of death threats" since saying he wouldn't travel to London with the New York Knicks.

Kanter has said that "besides America, I don't really feel safe anywhere else in the world."

The athlete has referred to Erdogan as "the Hitler of our century," and felt London was a threat because of the large number of Turkish communities in the city.

There are around over 100 people...that just speak out against the government and they've been getting kidnapped and sent back to Turkey. That's why I was scared of going to London.

Kanter is expected to become a U.S. citizen in about 2 years.
