The holiday season is gaining on us quickly. The weather is starting to get cooler, Christmas lights and decorations flood retail stores, and Enes Kanter makes even the biggest of gingerbread houses look tiny.
The Utah Jazz forward/center spent some time at, uh, some place that has a giant gingerbread house. I wonder if Kanter, who is originally from Turkey, has some sort of strong interest in these holiday traditions in the States. His photo that he posted to his Twitter account and his comments about it could make some wonder if he in fact really likes gingerbread houses for some reason.

So, we know from the picture that Kanter thinks of himself as the gingerbread man, which is pretty frightening. We also know that he thinks gingerbread houses are “pretty cool”, also a bit frightening.
Is there really nothing else to do in Utah that Kanter spends his free time going around looking for giant houses supposedly made of food and candy? Probably. There’s no wonder he wants to test restricted free agency next summer.
But, for the sake of my imagination and the comedic effect behind this picture, I will continue to believe that Utah is a beautiful state with much more to offer than the gingerbread man and his houses, no matter what size, and Kanter just has a genuine interest in these sorts of things.
The house stands about seven feet tall, just barely topping the 6 foot 11 Kanter. Very impressive.
