Before Steph Curry ever shot a 3 pointer off the dribble, there was another player blazing a trail on the basketball court. If you don't remember Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, it's a shame, since he did all the things Curry can do, only to be black balled and out of the NBA for taking a principled and justified stance. Find out how good he was and what happened.

@@javierlandaverde4108 Mad respect for what? For being one of the many racists that converted to Islam only because of the hate for the "white man", without even checking the actual sources to see if what he was doing was right or if - by chance - Muhammad was actually the greatest racist against blacks that man has ever known and Islam is actually an Arabic supremacist ideology that literally despises blacks? Mad respect for what? For not respecting the anthem believing Muslims were "oppressed" when Islam is the most cruel ideology man has ever devised, causing as much as 250 millions deaths in his 15 centuries of existence? Don't make me laugh, please.

@lavir74 4 года назад

@@HelpMeReachSubscribersWi-tq4ix Sure, how not. Let me advance a little hypothesis, shall we? You have no minimal clue about Islamic literature and history, is it not? Because only someone that knows absolutely anything at all about the two could seriously believe that Muslims are an oppressed category or that Islam is just a poor peaceful religion that just wants to coexists but yet it cannot because of the cruel people around that are always intent on discriminating against it. Do yourself and others a favor and actually research on Islam before pretending to having an opinion on the topic.

@@lavir74 mahmoud abd al raouf didn't convert to islam because of the hate to the white man ,that is a racism from you He converted because his life was disturbed especially he had some sort of a mental disorder and he litteraly found himself in islam. And the reason for not standing to the flag is because of the many masacres that the us governement was doing in many islamic countries in addition to racism against minorities he had some idioligy to stand for he should get respect even if his idiology is against the gov who pretend to be democratic and support evry ethnecity ....

One of the first pure "walking buckets". When Curry started to do Curry things, he was my first thought, "I've kinda seen this before". Curry in this era has taken it to another level. Lightning quickness & a quick pure release, just a thing of beauty.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@ricediits 2 года назад

Indeed he was "walking buckets." In other words, he was the type of guy that when he released the ball, you knew he was going to make it. Isiah made the comment that sometimes when some players shoot and score, its like slapping you in the face. That is a great way to describe Abdul Rauf's J. It was like he going to stick a dagger in you, and it was like he wanted you to feel that dagger. Shots were literally "in your face." Definitely, bar none, my favorite player of all time.

@makehumanitygreatagain8128 4 года назад

While Phil Jackson was GM of the Knicks he correctly made this point and internet idiots began abusing him for it. What is even more odd is that Phil began to back down. Like you coach, I'm of the mind that Phil was right. Chris Jackson (his original name before his religious conversion to Islam) was even better than Curry in my eyes because he was more athletic than Curry and he could do it in the far more physical 90s era. It is unfortunate that he got blackballed. If he had done what he did during the social media era, I'm sure he would've been able to keep his job because he would've had enough support come to his defense. Also, the time period in which he was being blackballed wasn't too long after 9/11 and the nation was very much in a patriotic bloodthirsty frenzy. So, the media and the league were very much able to misrepresent his position and cloak theirs in a patriotic veneer.
