Enes Kanter may have a future in professional wrestling.

During a Twitter Q&A session Tuesday, the New York Knicks center was asked if he would consider joining WWE once his basketball playing career is over.

"Yes, I do really consider joining the WWE," Kanter said. "It's my favorite sport after basketball and I've been watching it since I was in college and I love it. And of course, my favorite (WWE star) is Undertaker. It's going to be awesome, but I think I'm too far away from that right now. Maybe in 10 years."

If Kanter does decide to pursue a WWE career, he'll have Paul Heyman in his corner. Heyman, the advocate for WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, told TMZ Sports in February that he's eyeing Kanter as a prospective client.
