Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf On Not Standing For National Anthem, Steph Curry, + Documentary 

My Brother went through hell but because of his faith, Integrity and love he is still standing. Praise be to Allah for lifting Brother Mahmoud up.

I'm from Gulfport Mississippi and we grew up watching this dude in high school play BB...he was legendary, to say the least. He would score like 50pts against our school and the stands would be packed just to see him play. Very humble guy, great human being. I felt a sense of pride watching him do this interview now. All Love.

Every interview makes me appreciate Mahmoud more and more. Being a poor Southerner with limited access to opportunities is relateable. Thanks for being courageous, inspirational for and sharing your story with us.#mahmoudabdulrauf #stand #showtime #nbalegend

What an amazing Black man, a true hero .Thank you Brother Mahmoud for speaking up.May Allah bless and protect you and your family.

So much respect for this brotha. Can’t wait to see the documentary.

This documentary was amazing. Must see TV...

A faster/quicker Steph, dude was really "like that"! Glad he's able share his story on many different platforms. 🙏🏾

As salaam alaikum brother you did right standing for your belief 👏 💪 👍🏾 🙌 👌

Absolute legend. He has transcended basketball

Glad to see my guy finally getting his flowers. Much deserved and long over due.

Great conversation. Those who are the most passionate most times care the most. This brother stands on principles, not the bag. He could have easily complied and continued to grow financially, BUT spiritually he knew; it would have crushed him. No human can judge the self-sacrifice of another. Especially when you are ignorant of that man's journey. So for those who say THAT IF he has a problem with America's hypocrisies. He should leave. This is his home! His ancestors have contributed more and sacrificed more to make this country live up to its ideologies than ANY other group EXCEPT for the indigenous native of this land called America. #MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT MAHMOUD!!!

MashaAllah brother

I literally had to shed a tear 😢 for this brother cause I was growing up during this time and never understood why he disappeared cause his game was really nice and he used that word 'unnecessary'. I felt that cause I to was in situations that was 'unnecessary'. When people ask me-Dave why ....blah blah? And that 'unnecessary' word is the first thing out of my mouth. SMH Nice interview....shout out from the Chi!

He was a beast his crossover was one of the best in the game and was a beast in NBA live

Amazing interview. Hope he can come back again

Thank you for speaking out. We have to have these conversations.

Love this interview. It shows the struggle and strength of black people

Mahmoud has a Nipsey like spirit man! Or maybe it is that never fold energy I am sensing

I’m glad I heard a Muslim finally said the difference between Zionist and Jewish. I’ve just been waiting for someone to say it. It’s something that’s perplexed me for years. I’ve always liked my Jewish friends. Actually I never even thought about it. Never was an issue. Just never knew why Jews were put down by Islam. He’s the first I’ve heard say the difference. Thank you Mahmoud

One of my idols and favorite basketball players. Love this guy.

Powerful ass interview! 💪🏾✊🏾🙏🏾

Great doc best watch of 2023 so far

Yo!! Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf is a childhood hero to me. He started playing on the Nuggets when I was 12. About the same time I started to get into hip-hop. He is definitely one of the dudes who opened my eyes to the bullshit of this country. I loved going to games and watching him turn his back and pray during the national anthem. He allowed me to ask why and because he was such a dope hooper I cared about his reason. Much love to him. Thank you for the prayers.

A prime example of someone who paved the way for so many yet entitlement and ignorance has infiltrated the young

Thank you Peter for asking question you really want to know and not being afraid to sound ignorant. The question about his name is something I’ve always wondered myself.

The same people that say, ‘Mahmoud was a Hypocrite for taking paychecks from the NBA/American Corporations? You do know that Mahmoud helped fill those seats, and NBA Arenas’ as a NBA star. The guy was a Top 5 pick and pretty much lived up to great standards. The guy never got in trouble with the law or anything too outrageous. Mahmoud got in trouble strictly for his own beliefs on religion, and worldly issues that mostly stemmed with America.

The Steph Curry Before Steph 🐐👌🏾💙💛🏀

the nba and daivid stern did u dirty brother mahmoud ......bless up alhumdulillah🤲

Love this guy, you go man, they couldn't drive you out of this world, your one of the strongest man I know.

Bro mahmoud, you are a Mujahid truly.

"Until the lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter." - African proverb

The nba should offer an official apology to this man

I love Mahmoud for the sake of Allah

Can't wait for it to come out

Finally people are getting to know Mahmoud he deserves all the attention!

I like people who stand firms what they believe regardless of the consequences.

Blessings to him but very little has changed since he stood.

Respect 🙏🏾 one of the best and realest to ever do it!

I respect Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf because he stood for something bigger than money. Allah swt is the greatest! Rauf has morals, values, ethics, character, honor, dignity, and integrity. David Sterns and the NBA blackballed Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf!

Honorable Teacher Mahmud Abdul Rauf Beautiful Human Being My deepest Respect, Love,Peace Great Soldier for Justice, Righteousness, Dignity, Freedom,Revolution

I remember back in the early to mid '80s me and my dad would not stand up to the American anthem when the Toronto Blue Jays were playing in Toronto..kudos to you Sir for standing up for what you believe!!

This man was an absolute beast. I don’t care what anyone says he was better than Steph. All due respect to Steph but if they took the “shackles” off of him like Steph he would have been better. That man played in an era that didn’t even understand that type of basketball and he was that and more. His handle was crazy and he was absolutely a terror

Mahmoud translate Thankful Raouf Translate Generous For anyone want to learn about Islam Bless All.

MVP Most Valuable player/person. The good energy, intelligence, leading by example. Thank God for him. Live, learn, apply. From learning, to unlearning, to relearning. The light 💡 of goodness shall prevail. Very inspiring, do what’s right at all cost. 💯🙌🏼❤️☮️🕊️

legend

What a fire interview

Great documentary. I leaned a lot.

This is a really good interview it shows you how those people rule with a iron fist

Just finished the doc yesterday

NBA IS NASTY & disgusting my guy is truely legendary

These interviewers did not do any research before the interview

Very proud of Ebro for this. Showed great respect for the GOD

Strong Brother...need I say more ☪

Why was Rosenberg laughing while asking about the names!!!!! That’s condescending asf! Maybe I feel that way bcuz I’m Muslim

Please understand that this guy is one of if not the best shooter in the NBA FROM Mississippi Best RB in the NFL Walter Peyton FROM Mississippi Best WR in the NFL FROM Mississippi So many more…

I love this man!! God did some their best work with him.

Respect !

One of GOAT best believe

He was Steph curry before Steph

He's the reason I 1st started following the Nuggets then Mutombo, Carmelo AI, K Mart, Camby and I still like the Nuggets now

Read his book You will have to order it online. Its not in libraries or book store shelves

Till this day it hurts me to my heart how they did him because he was so damn good!! One of the best ever to play the game

The hero more than Hall of fame... it's time to get paid everybody where surprised with the new hero of nba

Watched him when he played for the nuggets I remember that and Chris Jackson was his name before he changed it

The NBA did him wrong, no doubt. The NBA could have and should have handled it totally in a different way. So sad.

Why was Laura silent during this segment?

Goat

Disrespectful to even compare Kaepernick to him! Colin has fooled a lot of people.

Respect to the elder Bernie Bickerstaff but he doesn’t come across well in the doc at all.

With this shirt conversation, you get a glimpse into how strong willed this man is.

He was Steph Curry and Colin Kaepernick before they were

Ebro didn't wanna say his father was Muslim, but did emphasize his mother is jewish

the real uncle drew

I know his brother Tim Jackson from Raleigh, NC! Tim was nice at basketball to. But nothing like his brother Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf.

He was lights out from 3pts.

Did any NBA Legend or star stood by him ? Or was friends with him ? Or stay in touch with him ?

Before Collin Kapernick.

Yeah, I got your freedom of speech right here.

I never listen when everyone in the league praised David stern I wonder if he could've sued

I meant. Which isn't where the original man came from.

Nba robbed Abdul -Rauf of his talented career over National Anthem BS.

Black Balled for sure. No question about it.

Lil God!

Little God ripped it!

He looks more like Steph than del taco does

And a Nation of the God's question would be. Didn't Euro Jews, Christians, and Arab Muslims practice in African slavery? That shows and proves that all three faiths of Prophet Abraham who came from Turkey. That isn't where the original man came from. Showing and proving those religions are a mystery spoofs. That's what the Gods say. And their math and science is actual fact.

Ebro! Thanks for listening. MORE mixed-race content from the MULATTO perspective!! MORE Mulatto stars!! Being that the both of you are Multiracial, and after just seeing the documentary wherein Mahmoud reveals his father is/was white (I knew he was Mulatto), I would've expected you to touch on that. We can handle the conversation, & we want to see more discussions about it. #Mulatto #MixedRace #Multiracial #Biracial

This man was a 💀

Did he grow out of his ticks?

Why are people so surprised????!!!! Ali was crucified!!!! How can karrem be the 👑???? ( Muslim) so now there a King James!!!! Who was the real King James???? He wrote the Christan bible!!! So it makes sense to knock the Muslim out of the top spot and replace it with the real King!!!! It is all done before our eyes. God bless Abdul he exposed the truth

It's crazy cuz they only stress you if you a minority with some fame or money cuz my broke unknown ass never stands for that nonsense and I never get talked about LMMFAO who gives a damn about that song yall really care that much

Does 🪄✨✨ have a Shoe? A Shoe. It's the TRAGIC Show.

Where were the black athletes to support him ,now the are coming out in support…What a double standard

🌞

Funny with Rosenberg in there lol always cringe 😂

Dey just ERRRRRRT and 🛑? U Forgot? U Ballin' w/ JORDAN.... THIS Year?

Why Is He Still Here? I Thought He Did Not Like It Here. Bye Felicia. There’s The Door. This Is A Conversation, That’s How We Grow Right, Right?

Should've stayed a Christian. Now he's hell bound.

Meh this guy is a hypocrite. The sentence country that made him millions.
