luol deng: man from sudan

[dclaver2]

Vote Luol Deng for the NBA Allstar. You can send 3 chicago bull players to the all star game. If Luol Deng doesn't win that 12th spot, the celtics send 4 players, and there is no way they deserve it.

[FUTUREMETROPOLISS]

LUOL DENG

[rmank22]

I thought d rose had a tough life coming outta englewood.. But.. This sukka is from the Sudan!!!

[jizzy2k]

luv deng!

[xCHiTownKidz]

Respect.

#BULLSNATION

[PoptartFail]

He is filling the shoes of the old legend Minute Bol. And i am a great fan of the Chicago Bulls. May they be blessed and win the championship next year.

[LadyLoganSquare]

i love this guy!!!

[md4111]

Anyone else notice Kyle Korver in the background?

[ripitup123]

he is such an underrated player

[iseeblood5]

I'ts not a civil war it started with muslims trying to convert the indigenous Africans in the south, instead of living as one country and let people practice their own religion, they just killed everyone for no reason.

[ryan21guts]

@iseeblood5 yeah fucking muslim

[chaw5634]

how can anybody possible dislike this? hes a legend. he is a living insperation!!!!

[edchand]

if u dislike this video ur GAY

[MrWazupdude]

yeah but i like to think he's english cause hes and olympic ambassador and plays for Britain and such

[DalueCommentarys]

Gives me hope, being from the UK. I was starting to think it was impossible to get anywhere in basketball from the UK.

[CK3890]

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUOL DENG!

[dietsnapple89]

Lots of bulls fans get on luol for not living up to the hype, but I still love Luol Deng and I will still get his jersey because he's a good guy and he is the last remaining player from the 04-05 Bulls team that finally ended 6 years of losing. Once Boozer starts playing, Luol can be that third scoring option where he is meant to be.

[SamHelmy123]

He used to play in my school when he was a refugee in egypt :D

[Zimbo4life1]

he plays just like Josh Howard

[bullrose5]

Not only is Luol Deng a good basketball player, he is a good person, too. That is pretty rare, if you ask me.

[Pierrechoum]

it's funny, but we don't see any comments about racism in egypt about sudaneese, but when this racism comes from white people it's denonced , and not in that case, why?

[CK3890]

@Pierrechoum You know the answer to this. And before I elaborate, let me say that I'm white. White people, for the last let's at least say 500 years (though some people would go back farther, I'd say this is when it really got out of hand) have dominated many areas through exploration and colonization. As a result of this, many different peoples including white people themselves were taken as slaves for other white people.

This caused ethnic diversity in many countries, and thus racism.

[CK3890]

@Pierrechoum And I'm not saying that it is right that only white people are denounced for racism, I'm just saying you know how this social inequality came about.

[iwant2bbuff]

Luol Deng kinda reminds me of Usain Bolt in the face a little bit

[detorio]

I respect and salute Luol Deng, ALWAYS enjoy watching him play. Appears to be a true good person ^^

[jordanhollister]

he grew up in england :D

[desiprincess98]

my best frend is luol dengs cousin not kidding!

[dietsnapple89]

Luol Deng one of my favorite players. I'm a Big Bulls fan and I love athletes who work for something more than money and championships

[acahockey23]

Him and Villanueva represent Blair Academy!!!!!

[Afrobest99]

I'm not being devisive here, but this is true. Alot of sucessful Dinkas always mention how they are from Dinka tribe and all dat. But when a non dinka sudanese tries to talk about his/her tribe, every one else say that is sagrigation or tribalist. And dat got me wonder, when is it ok for a sudanese man or woman to publicly mention his/her tribe?....Only when he/she is sucessful?

[molious101]

PROUD TO BE A SUDANESE...make your voice heard...help those who are less fortunate

God Bless =)

[martinaird]

deng and ben gordon should be in the all star game

[desiwun]

lmao alalalalalalalalala!

[madedigital]

I remeber post in up this guy at ferndale basket ball court 3 on 3 they call me jordan but he sky hook, blocked and dunk on me all day, he was skinny too, he's a big man now... he's home boy had a good three point shot too the brown kid with that dog.

[BlackasHellandProud]

Deng is awesome:)

[Qeso19]

[piercefan34mvp]

SAFC442, Luol Deng aint't British... he moved to London dat's all... He's gangsta! Paul Pierce and Luol Deng!

[alexv2k7]

@piercefan34mvp Well he considers his home to be in england because he can just go there and chill with his mates in brixton whereas in america he always gets spotted and asked for autographs and shit, he also plays on the english basketball team

[piercefan34mvp]

@alexv2k7 Oh my goodness, that's one of my comments from when I was 14! And I know that.

[nickisgod08]

[NafeesLACC]

excellent player, but the traditional sudanese sound is just hilarious.

[ZeUndertaker15]

write khartoum and u will know the real sudanese traditional

[akuraoo]

It is actually traditional sound of celebration of most East African women.

[theoriginaloc]

croydon boy made good!

[goldEye55]

Luol Deng you are the pride of South Sudan and Africa.god bless you to fisnish your mission.we are so proud of you son.

[Eballaz00]

[slober66]

[shoot210]

[Eballaz00]

Mayne im just sayin!

[bengordonnba07]

u guys basketball fans in england. doesnt it suck. Only can use outside courts and the weather isnt exactly good.

[tolbeano1]

why who said he hates brits?

i doubt that, Luol doesnt seem like a hater!

and i know cheers man i always watch the games on channel 5 or channel 5 US on repeat the next day so i dont have to stay up as late haha. but id do anything to actually play as a career. i practice almost everyday in my back garden or on the park and i use the gym most days to! i prey i can go somewhere lol.

[tolbeano1]

what id do to become an NBA player!

even though boarding school isnt a big comfort zone id sill even love the oppertunity to go to blair academy!

its crazy ive grown up in England my whole life but i just cant hack the cold weather, soccer is huge here but im a basketball fan.. am i just awkward or different haha?

[bulgin86]

why dont you just watch channel 5, they show the games when they are live in america...

[dialloomer]

we're proud of you deng

[agezzl]

this my boy..keep up the good work...and i know my mom would do the same when when she see me doin goood ...lol...holla

[mu4mer]

His cusion is my friend.

[hughmoulton]

i know his cousin :D

his cousin is in australia

[ChicagoBears93]

interesting video... thanks for puttin it up. Glad he plays for the Bulls as they are my team and he is a really talented basketball player. Also im happy to say he supports my football team (soccer) Arsenal. What a great guy.

[chasemangendah]

did he liv in brixton?

[vj379]

thanks for the vid its beutiful man

[Costisudan]

Very happy for Luol. I would add one comment however, Luol is being paraded as a Dinka in this interview without mentioning he is also a Southerner. One comment that was made by Omer basher, the North Sudan president was, that the international community should not only be talking about SPla because there are other very strong and important tribes in the South too. That time he was shamelessly boasting about the Nuer. This was before General Paulino Matip Nhial Joined ranks with Spla.

[LadyLambo]

he sound like he frum chicago

[devhesterfan23]

he plays for the chicago bulls and lives in a suburb near chicage

[broomtree]

this is a thing with the African-born ballers, they're always GREAT human beings on and off the court, Hakeem Olajuwon, Manute Bol, Dikembe Mutombo and now Luol Deng, they grew up learning from parents who have realized how harsh and cruel the world can be

[AfroMussy90]

sudanese people come in all different types, pure black african, light skin black africans, light skin africans and even some white people come from sudan.

[jukeria]

I am happy i am from sudan u gone see me in nba hatter!!

[AfroMussy90]

absolute legend

i am so proud of being sudanese. btw is he a muslim?

[jukeria]

he is not muslim

[AfroMussy90]

thanks for letting me know

SUDAN is the best country in the world, no matter the violence, we got the best people you could ever get. Plus i never thought egypt was like that, last time i went to visit egypt most of the people i met were black.

[YARIN1993]

this a real talk

[ryzza07]

he is from sudan but he studied and play college bball in london so they say hes from london

[wussup331]

he's amazing! does anyone remember the celtics/timberwolves game and the five US commentaters kept saying he was english and was from london

[99meemo99]

Amazing!!!!

ViVa SuDaN..

[aabakheetk]

Luol, this noise sudanese wemen make called Zaghreed or zaghareet,I like the way your interpertation.

[ports0559]

Hes american sudan. He hates british.

[bulgin86]

how does he hate the british, we were the first ones that didnt hate on him because of hes colour.. he started playing in london, he came back here not long ago and set up a community center and couple of outside basketball courts in brixton, he even said when he first started playing he said the hoops didnt even have nets and wants kids to start playing, good way off getting kids out of trouble. he plays for the Great Britain team so how does he hate us arsehole

[microways]

what a good video it shows that no matter what we should never forgot what and who really are and hope the world accepts everyone for what they are go Luol you are good role model to people out there.

[bryant365]

Go , Man from Sudan

[wadabbas]

good work>> foog foog sudana foog..

[noksman]

i used to hang around with him when he lived here . look at him now lol . cant believe it .

[blackarawak83]

3hmed,you are typical of what is wrong in Sudan. It seems that you wanna "Arabicize" all the tribal diversity of your unique country. This young men is indeed a Sudanese but he's a Dinka( and most probably a Christian too)so just accept him for what he is!

[ballackgurung]

isnt he british

[CO5723]

born in sudan and grew up in london

[Musudy]

Oh, just give me break.how many people from sudan do you know beside luol deng that attended bellair?.the truth is, his father was minister in sudanese government before EL Bashir come to power in 1989. Alot of people know who your family and were you are from beside your everyday dinkaism on air.why are you crying about that little carp with eyptian police in cairo when ardinary southerners were being burn alive under your father's help.

[beebaxtc]

eygptians are rasists evan to northern sudanese people...all sudanese people know that dengs papz was a minister.. its not about that thoo....

[steynor123]

L-A-Double D.....Ladd!!

[PlaymakerMo]

he is truly a legend, not many players have that kind of mind for basketball and for life in general. he really does deserve whatever good things come his way

[Awielqueen]

Luol, i'm very proud of you. I wish all our southern sudanese young man will have the same mind is you. you are a strong Dinka man, I know you will do things for your country. our country need alot of help. keep up the good work. God bless all sudanese Youth.

[beebaxtc]

much respect to bro..

[Sagnasty4Life]

great player, hard to believe he didn't pick up a ball til he was 14.

[cambyman21]

He was picked right before the Toronto Raptors at no .7 , instead we go rafael fukin aroujo.I want him on the raptors ! I see luol reppin Africa good! im half cameronian and im proud of him!

[FadeAway23]

everyone can be proud of luol, hes a great person and I have had the oppertunity to meet him and i can tell you hes as genuine as he seems. but I disagree about the raptors I want to keep him on the my bulls LOL :-P

[Ndgold22]

god bless him he s a great person

[sarahslick1221]

im from sudan and people can not believe because i have not type of accent. but you can tell from the color of my skin which i love so much. i know i look good

[schedual]

haha..i live 5 minutes away from blair academy in Nj..pretty cool that he went there..also with charlie V

[sudan15]

luol deng is representing sudanese londeners who have a dream to ball

[beebaxtc]

haha yup...

[SuDaNiYaH]

Even though im northern Sudanese, i still luv ma southern peeps cuz anywayz its only ONE SUDAN and lets keep it dat way!

[beebaxtc]

the tention is still there no matter what treaty is put in place and until we learn to get along as brothers of one nation not tribes there will be no positive movement in the near future

[NubianDinka]

it's like germany is doin with einstein and hitler! einstein is swiss they say he's german. hitler was german reichschancellor now he's austrian again.

what i mean is after all the war, genocide and racism towards southern sudanese all of a sudden a southerner is good enough to be a "sudanese" cuz he's in the league?

keep the north, have it islamic as you please and let it get bombed out by america for havin harbored bin laden!

[khartoumy]

stay out of politics Deng and you will be fine and i wont hate ya

[dewgongoo]

genocide is not about politics; it's about right and wrong

the methods by which one goes about ending genocide, that's political

[sitnor]

guys, the guy is a talent, let's first akenoldge that. I am so proud he is from sudan.

[Taha12]

i've met luol deng!! At my basketball camp!!

[ukrandom]

ahh. that half American/British accent

[3Ihmed]

Sudan is Arabic country........

[blackfaraoh]

you can say iam an arab,but you cannot generalised your identity and the way you think to other poeple who will say opposit things,, go to sudan and have a look,30% maybe arabs, but the majority are non arabic origin although they may speek arabic parralel to thier local langauages.. hope you got my point

[3Ihmed]

Sudan are member of the Arab world

[blackfaraoh]

Alot of african countries is are members of commonwealth (is that means black africans are Anglosaxons?? AJABBI!!!!!)

[sudaniesseamonsta]

faulse yu retard..if yu where part of the arab world how come yur not aloud to purchase a house in an arab country?... think hard

[o9a6la]

guys like who r bringing sudan down

[nyarayek]

[nyarayek]

comment is ment at 3Ihmed

[fardreamsmusic]

yeah ok so we think the same way at this question whateaver i dont like fight my brothers , we dont have to make that mistake who killed our country have a good day

[fardreamsmusic]

[vatd112]

[sudaniesseamonsta]

y? respect yur tribe if yur sudanese...

[hirummy]

Deng is amazing.

[nileboy]

As a sudanese I am really proud of him and his views ,prying that one day Sudan will be the safe heaven and a worm home for every one from the ,south, north,east and west, as equal people living in peace and love

(Amen)

[sudaniesseamonsta]

thats what we hope for...

[msneverson]

Deng a true star he sure is taking the bulls to bigger and better things

[AJIX]

Good to see a fellow Sudanese specially a fellow dinka doing this type of stuff usually Sudanese people like to gossip about each other. The Deng family is a friend of are family his sister was at are house about a year ago

[4BubbaSparks4]

Luol is my hero a true baller and a true DUKE B baller

[mitchellw256]

How can I download this video?

[MD173]

i wish deng good luck with basketball

[FadeAway23]

he deserved to be an all star this year, a great player and a great person. best of luck luol

[chickentenders111]

good ol' deng

[mrjonsey]

where are all the Duke bashers now? Duke doesnt have any players in the NBA? Boozer and Deng are running shyt now. Check the stats, Duke has the most players in the NBA and they make the most money!! Choke on that applesauce!

[ledfloyd13]

He makes me proud to be a Bulls fan

[haglundt]

Kind of makes basketball look easy.

[alein10]

Now we all see why Pax didn't want to trade him at the deadline. I wouldn't trade Deng straight up for Gasol. Star in the making

[mrmoneymaker05]

he is the perfect nba player. 6 foot 9 but with arms as long as a 7 foot 4 man. he's not the typical spoiled, selfish American. Luol is going to be the best player in the NBA one day very soon. He is only 21 years old and already an all star talent.

[KylixDesigns]

Very impressive young man. I wish the NBA would focus more on the good things, such as this. Compared to the constant exposure of negativity.

[ryan4121]

Great guy, going to be one of the leagues best.

[derzp]

gotta love deng. lit up the other day...

[dhamsleepy]

i didn't know egypt was like that.

[DJZ21]

amazing man, amazing player.

[walsh1916]

how can you not root for deng.

[asim2000]

great young man

[aaro0o]

awesome bio. deng is the man

[aaro0o]

nice vid
