Enes Kanter on hostile reception in Utah: 'I really didn't care'

Even after the Oklahoma City Thunder fell 94-89 to the Utah Jazz on Saturday night, Enes Kanter continued a war of words against his former team.

Kanter took the floor to a chorus of boos from those at EnergySolutions Arena after ripping the Jazz ahead of the contest, and he received the same reaction each time he touched the ball.

Speaking after the game, the Kentucky product insisted that he was indifferent to the hostile reception and that he refuses to retract any of his previous comments regarding the Jazz.

"I didn't really care," Kanter said, according to ESPN. "I like pressure, the boos didn't mean nothing to me. It was just a regular game. I never felt like I was a part of this thing, so it was just a regular game. We came and we leave and that is it. I am not taking nothing back."

Oh, and there was also this post-game gem from Kanter, which will do little to alter the public perception of the Turkish-Swiss big man in Utah.
