One of the best pure shooting little men I ever saw. He had some pretty good ball fakes too which would free him up for a shot. He was way too quick and deadly for Stockton to stop in the video; and Stockton is the all-time steals leader. I would love to see Rauf in a 3 point contest with guys like Mark Price, Craig Hodges, and Calvin Murphy; other great pure shooting little men.
Chris Jackson/Rauf was an AWESOME PLAYER...too bad he let somone get into his head and spread this Islam/Oppression Nonsense....guy was a STAR...all he had to do was "Play the game" on and off the court...like JORDAN did....
@akrivosdiavolos73 actually my friends met him lately before months ago and he is in the middle east and what happened is that its not about Islam or anything about that he left the NBA, he was denied by the coach at those days cuz he turned to Islam or something like that they kept him in the bench... the true story and he still playing from time time in the middle east and he got a picture with my friends at a street game he came there and watch them....
@krebsballar3 screw you he plays his talent and gets payed for it if he doesn't get payed for standing for a shitty fucking anthem he doesn't have to do it
@krebsballar3 "Can't stand for the National Anthem but can stand in line to take a paycheck from America."
You mean Mahmoud was paid by the government? Uh-oh. I think you consevrative dolts should get out your guns and start shooting soon before the country REALLY gets ruined by all these non-Americans.
C'mon, bunnies: Start shooting. Like the good little fascists you are.
Jeez you actually think that Islam is all about blowing things up? I know plenty of Muslims and they DON'T condone any of those things. The hijackers were Islamic extremists not ordinary Muslims. You know....Al Qaeda ....extremists? Not every Muslim wants to blow stuff up. Even people in Iraq and Afghanistan aren't safe from these extremists.
Yea, so what. Now he travels the world playing ball for many different countries who love him. No biggie. He doesn't stand to salute the flag? Well, maybe he puts his religion ahead of his government. Our Government is full of punks and thugs. Who cares, it's what he wants to do. He isn't breaking any laws. In maybe 10 years he'll retire to Mississippi with a couple million and disappear from the BB scene. I hear rhey have some good shrimp and fish down in those parts...
He is a traitor and a douche bag. The US National Anthem does not demand any belief in any certain religion, his refusal to stand for the song is a sign of deeper issues he has with his Mommy.
We don't want or need 'America Haters' here on our shores. If he is happy in Japan then he can just well stay there and rot with all the other 2nd class shmucks.
first of all, this guy is a really good shooter.. I mean pure shooter. he is really good!
anyone who is a citizen of the us should respect our national anthem period.
But it is unfair for many foreign players to play our national anthem in the beggining of every game. it sux to see his career in the NBA destroyed bec. of that.
Chris jackson will always be a legend in our hometown of Gulfport! The anthem bs was ridiculous he was a damn good baller i remember him ai gulfport high and days at LSU he put up more points a game than shaq and could shoot lights out!!!
The ridiculus part of this case is that it's not even in an international game. Why using national anthem in all the national games in every sports in USA ?
National anthem should only be played when our counrtry is playing against another country, like everywhere, but not for a town against another town.
It's too much patriotism, to the point that it's not a good thing, because it lead to case like that.
illicit sexual acts, let alone rape, are explicitly forbidden in Islam in a number of verses in the Quran, such as 17:32. Murder if forbidden in verse 5:32 and others.
I have brought forth my evidence refuting the claims against Islam. Where is your evidence to support what you are saying?
all religions are cults lol... noone is the religion they are if it wasnt forced upon their ancestors... so honestly i dont take religious people seriously unless they look into all religions before the sell themselves to one...
Whether or not he is Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, or anything else, he can play. I might not agree with him on his religion, but the man does stand up for what he believes in. That is something to respect. I have family that has fought ni WWII and Vietnam, so I was never thrilled when he called America all of those things. He has his right too, and while he may not want to say it, I feel like he is happy every single day for what this country has given him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this nigga was straight dumb. a wanna be cassius clay yo.not stand up for the national antham? muslim is the most ignorant and most crooked fucking religion. i have no respect for that religion.remember yall. these are the same people that blew up those buildings.these are the same niggas that killed malcolm X, same niggas that burned kareem abdul jabbar's house down.and if you really want to know how crooked they are get locked up in the pen and witness for yourself fuck all muslim's,blk ones2
one thing about America that will always remain a constant it is Prejudice. There's not one religion without their history of violence. Catholics, Christians, Jews, all have stains. It seems that in this country only black people/muslims are allowed to be stereotyped. But no other race/no other religion wants to be judged by what others that worship like them or resemble them has done but there's always enough prejudice to go around for blacks/muslims
You area misguided fool. You think someone would throw away his fame to be like someone else? He is a man with values and morals, and he is clearly the kind of guy that knows what he's doing instead of just doing what he is told. And don't speak about Islam until you know something. Killing Malcolm and blowin the towers were acts of extremism opposed by the Muslim community even today.
