By WFAN.com

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Enes Kanter is certainly one of the Knicks' more colorful personalities. And the Turkish center did not disappoint at the team's media day Monday.

"I've been to playoffs before," he told reporters. "That should be everybody's goal is the playoffs. When I think about playoffs, my nipples get hard."

The NBA should think about adopting this Enes Kanter quote as its official slogan. https://t.co/sESF1nSlXM

Kanter was a member of playoff teams in Utah and Oklahoma City. In his first year in New York in 2017-18, the Knicks went 29-53, and with star big man Kristaps Porzingis possibly missing the entire season with a knee injury, they're considered a long shot for the playoffs again. 

Looks like Enes Kanter is gonna have soft nipples this year, you guys aren't making the playoffs lmao https://t.co/pW8TlmChxO
