Big NBA player draws cool - look! Plays better if he finishes a painting before a match, dreams of being a pro artist - Don't play basketball - Blogs

Willie Cawley-Stein is told that he thinks about paintings more than the game.

“I think there are more artists among the players than we realize. They just don't want people to know about it."

Draws since childhood. It helps him on the floor

Dallas center Willie Cawley-Stein has a hobby that is quite unusual for the modern NBA - he loves to draw. It all started in the fifth grade of school: at the insistence of his great-grandmother, young Willie was sent to drawing classes organized by family friends in their home. At least the food there was delicious, so the future basketball player attended most of the lessons.

Cowley-Stein remembers the beginning of his passion:

“No one in my family understood art. Therefore, it was difficult for me to understand what the teacher was talking about. I was a creative guy, but I didn’t really go into what they explained to me, and I continued to draw the way I liked. Didn't learn any new technique by the end of the course.

And only then did I see and understand what they were trying to convey to me then. But now it turned out to be easier to understand: after all, I had already heard about this in the classroom.

The 27-year-old center paints with acrylics on canvas in his spare time and uses spray paint when he gets a chance to paint outside. He characterizes his style as one of the modern interpretations of street art.

Willy has surrounded himself with many creative people with a wide range of interests: from writing music and creating beats to designing clothes. Even his girlfriend, Kesley Brooks, helps him paint and hopes to make a film together in the future.

According to the center, he gets a charge from his friends, which then transforms into zeal on the basketball court:

“People love labels. They say about me that I do not like basketball because I am fond of other things. What I think about the pictures more than the game.

But art is like fuel. When I manage to finish the picture before the match, I am overwhelmed with energy and I play very well.”

About Bruce Lee and the eye of the tiger

Most of all, Cawley-Stein loves to draw people and various creatures. When he first began to work on faces, learned to control the shadows and light in the paintings, he realized that a whole world of art was opening up before him.

“One day I watched an ESPN documentary about Bruce Lee, Become Water, and I knew I had to draw a piece about the eye of the tiger. Perhaps the biggest idea I've ever come across is that you shouldn't be afraid of failure. It helped me move to the Mavericks and gave me confidence.

I decided to add Bruce's quote: "Don't be afraid to fail... In great things, even failure becomes glorious."

By the way, at that time my girlfriend had not seen a single movie about Rocky. We watched all the parts binge as a source of inspiration for the tiger."

About Jimi Hendrix

“I love Jimi Hendrix. The way he flipped the guitar upside down for left-handed playing, his new sound, it was a revolution in the music world."

About the Renaissance

“I really like the Renaissance. The one in silver armor against a red background is my brother. In black armor, another member of my family who recently passed away. Two kings. I already had a painting on this canvas, but I had an idea about kings. In the end, I just painted them on top of the previous work. I liked the result."

About anime and Naruto

“My friends and I are crazy in love with anime and Naruto story. It's practically a bible for us. The plot is built around three main characters: Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke.

The headbands are labeled with "Shift", the name of our label. Maybe someday we will release our own anime show.”

About Batman and the Joker

“I feel like it characterizes our relationship with a girl. She's definitely Batman and I'm the Joker. She is five steps ahead of me. And it is important for me that we worked together on this drawing.”

About brands and addiction to new things

“Obviously our society suffers from addictions. I myself fell into a black hole and spent almost $500,000 on branded clothing. It took a while before I realized that instead of buying $500,000 worth of clothes, I could invest those $500,000 in my own brand. Instead of getting high on someone else's clothes, I can get high on mine.

For this work, I used the logo of Gucci, Chanel, Fendi and Saint Laurent.”

About street art

“It was only the second time in my life that I was holding aerosol cans when my girlfriend suggested I draw Pac-Man. Decided it would be cool because of its colors and got carried away.

PPP is one of the features of our team. It stands for "philosophy, strength and peace." Pacman is our team. I hope you understand.

When I was in the Philippines, I was lucky to see a lot of street art. I realized that I want to travel the world from city to city, see a lot of street art and leave my signs as a keepsake.”

Cowley-Stein doesn't like it when people see him as nothing more than a huge basketball player. He doesn't like it when people only look at tattoos instead of making eye contact. And it is important for him to share his own ideas and thoughts so that people can understand his true essence.

“I didn't take it seriously before. But I hope one day I will be a professional artist.”

Notorious rebel. Erdogan's enemy from the NBA decided to fight for the rights of the Uighurs and against the Olympics in China

Known rebel. Erdogan's enemy from the NBA decided to fight for the rights of the Uighurs and against the Olympics in China

Enes Kanter. Photo: Mary Schwalm / AP

The fate of a professional athlete usually does not involve life-threatening political activism. "Mediazona" tells about the basketball player Enes Kanter, who alone is fighting with two heads of state - and is not going to stop.

A young man wearing a T-shirt with a photo of the Dalai Lama reads a message. “Do you know that possessing a photo of the Dalai Lama in Tibet is reason enough for an arrest? What kind of Tibetan national flag can also be arrested? he throws up his hands, condemning decades of Chinese struggle against dissent in the region. “Aren't you ashamed, the Chinese authorities? The Chinese dictatorship is erasing Tibetan identity and culture!”

Turkish basketball player Enes Kanter plays for the Boston Celtics of the American NBA. “The Hitler of our century” is how Kanter calls Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "Fierce dictator" - and so he refers to the Chinese leader Xi Jinping. If such a choice of phrases is expected from a politician or activist, then the NBA basketball player attracts attention.

The video about Tibet was not a reaction to any specific case, and such statements are not new for Kanter: a couple of months earlier, he wrote that “after meetings with respected historians and scientists” he understood a lot about the Armenian genocide by the Turks, and responsibility for his ignorance in this matter, he blames "the nationalist and biased Turkish educational system, which turns a blind eye to the suffering of millions of people. "

However, if in the case of his native Turkey, the basketball player has nothing to lose (where he is put on the wanted list and there are practically no chances to return from the USA), then the fight with official Beijing has become a new page in his biography for him.

In September, Kanter published a column, co-authored by Russian chess player Garry Kasparov, about the speeches of "dictators" from Turkey, Russia and China at the UN, and in October it was followed by an address about Tibet. The answer was lightning fast: the Boston Celtics games were taken off the air in China, and the team's Weibo account was filled with replays calling for Kanter to be punished, to make him apologize and kick him out of the NBA.

This did not stop Kanter: he went to the court in sneakers with the Tibetan flag, and then supported the Uyghurs by drawing on the sneakers a superman with the flag of East Turkestan tearing red barbed wire.

“Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party. Someone should have taught you a lesson and I will never apologize for the truth. I can't be bought. I can't be intimidated. I can't be silenced. Try it!” - this is a couple of days later, a signature to a completely defiant sneaker: a man with a basketball stops tanks with the heads of dead Winnie the Poohs attached to the towers; the picture refers to the famous photograph of the "Unknown Rebel" from Tiananmen Square.

The next day, Kanter made an appeal to Nike , the official supplier of uniforms for NBA teams, and its founder Phil Knight, suggesting the latter "take tickets to China and fly there together" to "visit slave labor camps and look at all with your own eyes."

"Nike are hypocrites," Kanter wrote on a shoe he wore to a game, explaining that the company's support for human rights movements in the US does not translate into support for human rights in China. Comments Nike has not yet followed, earlier the company emphasized that it does not use raw materials from Xinjiang, where the Uighurs live.

Finally, a couple of days later, Kanter set a tangible goal for himself to get the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics cancelled. He also wrote this on the sneakers (“No rights, no games”) and added variants of the flags of Tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, East Turkestan and Inner Mongolia there.

Drawings for a basketball player are made by Chinese immigrant artist Badiucao , which is known for its cartoons of Chinese leadership. “When you yourself are not from the country that suffers from an authoritarian regime like China, it is difficult to force yourself to really worry about this situation or understand it,” he comments on cooperation with Kanter. “The NBA as a platform and as a sport in general is a wonderful way to get the word out for human rights. Because suddenly every NBA fan in America and around the world is thinking about this problem.

The previous major scandal between the NBA and China erupted two years ago, when Houston Rockets team principal Daryl Morey tweeted a picture amid Hong Kong protests against the region's forceful integration into Chinese politics: "Fight for freedom, support Hong Kong. " At that time, Chinese channels also took Rockets games off the air, sponsors refused contracts, Chinese publications threatened to sanction the entire NBA, and Maury and team leader James Harden had to apologize.

The NBA issued a then-questionable statement about Maury's "embarrassing" tweet that "deeply offended many of our friends and fans in China", was heavily criticized in the US and forced to take a tougher stance: NBA chief Adam Silver announced that the Chinese side even demanded that Mori be fired, but he ruled out taking any action.

The NBA has become one of the most visible "activist" sports leagues in recent years, with basketball players constantly talking about the importance of using their media to advance a social agenda, wearing T-shirts with slogans, going on strike or refusing to comply with demands that go against their beliefs - and outsiders observers either praise or scold them for this. But Kanter's case, even against this background, stands out both in terms of involvement in political activity and in terms of consequences for himself.

At 29, Kanter, a ten-year NBA center, has yet to win a title, but has been lucky enough to play side by side with the brightest personalities of modern professional basketball: the unstoppable Russell Westbrook, the methodical Kevin Durant and the well-read Jaylen Brown. And by the time he was 29, Kanter was a terrorist defendant with a dozen arrest warrants, a stateless man with a revoked passport, who was dragged out of Romania by US senators. Now he lives only in crowded American hotels and sleeps with an FBI panic button by the bed due to frequent threats.

Kanter is a longtime supporter of the disgraced Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen, whom the Erdoğan government accuses of orchestrating the failed 2016 coup. Then several thousand military men tried to occupy key facilities in the country's cities, launched airstrikes on the presidential palace and tried to detain Erdogan, but nothing came of it. This failure was followed by large-scale purges in the security forces, state institutions and the press, as well as mass arrests and criminal prosecutions of suspected ties to Gülen, who was proclaimed the creator of the "parallel state" of the conspirators; he himself denies the accusations and hints at the production.

“Parallel state” is not an accidental wording: it was believed that before the last purges, Gülen supporters, without being united in any official party, occupied numerous posts in ministries, cultural institutions and other organizations. Both Erdogan and Gulen are in favor of increasing the role of Islam in public life as opposed to secularism, although from different platforms: if the current leader of Turkey is close to the connection of religion with politics, then the Gulenists are more likely to declare a desire for cultural spirituality. The relative similarity of positions helped Erdogan and Gülen work together in the 2000s: the former used the informal structures of the latter to consolidate power and reduce the political influence of the army. In 2013, after the defeat of the military, it was the turn of the Gülenists, and the “parallel state” turned from a support into a major threat.

The connection with Gülen became the reason for the campaign against the basketball player in his homeland. As a child, Kanter studied at schools associated with the Gülen movement, then went to play basketball in the United States, where Gülen himself lives after the break with Erdogan, and became close to the teacher personally. The basketball player spoke out against Erdogan amid the 2013 corruption scandal, and after the coup attempt, he was made a real enemy of the state.

“NBA Gulenist Kanter’s Family Rejected” — this headline was published in the newspaper in 2016 Daily Sabah , where genetics professor Mehmet Kanter apologized "to the Turkish people and the president" for his son. In response, he issued an emotional appeal signed “Enes (Kanter) Gülen”, but in the end he did not abandon his native surname.

Public self-flagellation did not save Professor Kanter from persecution: he was fired from Istanbul University, and in 2018 he was sent to prison for a 15-year term on the same charge of links with Gülen - he was released in 2020 after a review of the case. “Happy birthday, father. It's been seven years now,” wrote Kanter's son in January of this year. “I will continue to do what you taught me to fight for what is right.”

While Kanter is fighting Erdogan, Erdogan is fighting Kanter: in 2017, the athlete was almost detained in Indonesia at the request of Ankara, and he had to leave the country on an urgent flight at night. “Hello world,” he recorded a video message a few hours later at the Bucharest airport. - I just wanted to say that we are now in Romania, and they tell us that my passport has been canceled by the Turkish embassy. We are guarded here for hours by two policemen. The reason, of course, is my political views.”

Just a couple of weeks before Kanter, Ankara successfully used a similar method of forced deportation to their homeland in Malaysia, whose authorities immediately extradited three men accused of having links with Gülenists. In Kanter's case, after several hours of confusion, lawyers for the Oklahoma City Thunder and both Oklahoma senators were able to arrange through the State Department to fly Kanter to the United States, where he received a green card and is now undergoing the procedure for obtaining citizenship.

The Turkish authorities later tried to add the basketball player to Interpol's wanted list of terrorists, but their request has yet to be approved. “If I terrorize anyone, then only basketball hoops,” the player retorted.
