Fan behavior in the NBA continues to get worse and worse and it’s not exclusive to just one team.

At the Pepsi Center on Tuesday night, a salty Denver Nuggets fan thought it would be a good idea to bring up the fact that Enes Kanter could never go back home in a way to throw him off his game.

Crowd is chanting "Kanter sucks!" and one yelled out, "Go back to Turkey, oh wait you can't!"

"Go back to Turkey. Oh wait, you can't." — some asshole sitting behind me.

That is beyond disrespectful when you realize that the Turkish Government seriously issued a warrant for his arrest, basically accusing him of being part of a terror organization, all because he called them out on social media.

Turkish Government can NOT present any single piece of evidence of my wrongdoing. ?‍♂️

I don’t even have a parking ticket in the US ? (True)

I have always been a law-abiding resident. ? https://t.co/DxLgvFcTST

I wish I could go back to Turkey to see Family ?
But I chose to support Democracy, Freedom and Human rights,
I am grateful for most Americans supporting that right. @nuggets take control of your fans.
This is hurtful ?
Be grateful for the Democracy and Freedom we have here. https://t.co/SMGu9j3qc4

The fallout between the Turkish Government and Kanter even involves an NBA Twitter account that basically ignores that he even exists by not mentioning him during the game, nor even televise Blazers game at all:

What a messed up country lead by #TurkishDictator @RTErdogan
Only Turkish player out here tonight, and the official @NBA for Turkey @NBAturkiye is censoring me. They dont show blazers games in Turkey. The government controls people,this a problem. How can official NBA allow this pic.twitter.com/Zvny0NwF8C
