Thunder big man Enes Kanter is an unassuming clown prince among his higher-profile NBA brethren. And this time, the 25-year-old aimed his trash talk at himself.

"I looked in the mirror and I'm like 'Man, I feel fat.' And (I didn't just) look fat, I felt fat too. I needed a bra or something because I kept eating all this Turkish food."

Sure, at 6-foot-11 and weighing nearly 250 pounds, Kanter is among the larger human beings on the planet to begin with. But, the Turkish center is undoubtedly at his best on the court when he's able to move fluidly in the paint, where he's long anchored the Thunder's bench unit.

Don't worry, Thunder fans - Kanter has vowed to change his habits in time for the 2017-18 campaign.

"The season is coming, and it's a really important season for us," Kanter reassured. "I have to be in shape."
