I heard he refused to stand up for the US national anthem. He must be a wise man, more people should do the same, USA's global actions justify us not having to respect their national anthem, I'm proud to say I have done the same in the past.
@RashaunB25 Na idk about better but his 3 pt shot was much better. Considering this guy is only 6'1 and has turrets he is a HUGE inspiration. Mad Respect for him it sucks that he couldn't stay in the NBA. they let thugs like Dennis Rodman,Artest and others stay but not this guy I don't get it.
@JayPleezer304 That's a nonsensical proposition. There are more than 30 shooting guards that have had much better careers than he's had. He had a nine season career in which he missed a ton of games and made ZERO allstar appearances. Stop your nonsense.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE Look man, Im talking about top 30 shooters not players. As far as SHOOTING the basketball is concerned, free throw %, mid range, 3 pt range and %, off the dribble, screens, transition, all the while shooting a high percentage, even when contested, he is easy top 25. i could careless how short his career or lack of all star appearances...the proof is here on video....52 pts on multiple all defense legend john stockton...and not even a top 30 SHOOTER?...please.
@JayPleezer304 Again you're full of shit. His field goal percentage is 44 percent which is nothing special. His three point percentage is 35 percent, which is nothing special. The only thing he had that set him apart was foul shooting, nothing else about his records indicates superiority. I'm sorry but mediocre field goal and three point percentage and a 14 PPG average don't equal anywhere close to even top 30 shooter alltime.There are plenty of players who shot better and averaged better #s.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE Mediocre? LoL...44% is damn good, as is 35% from 3 ...all that aside, on top of him being blacklisted at a time when he was plagued by injury, he was on his way to having a all star caliber career. Maybe not a hall of fame career, but, he definitely had all star caliber...And again...90% from free throw...U don't shoot 90% (FOR YOUR ENTIRE CAREER) in the fucking NBA and not be considered in the top 30...U need to start watching the WNBA instead...u don't know SHIT..
@JayPleezer304 Mauf is ranked 195th alltime in three point shooting percentage. 195th. A 44% FG is average for a shooting guard. 50% is pretty damn good for a shooting guard. If he was going to be an Allstar, he would've been. I don't care about his injuries. Fact is that besides great foul shooting, he was nothing special. If the game was only foul shots, then you'd have a case. Don't even respond again, cause if you do, I'll name at least 30 players who were better shooters or players than him
@ThatwasTERRIBLE Name 30 that were better shooters.....SHOOTERS...Not players...You wil lose this argument...Steve Kerr would never hit 52 on JOHN STOCKTON! The majority of his 52 points were JUMPSHOTS!...JUMPSHOTS! And 50% is not average. 50% is LEGENDARY...if woulda played longer with alot less injuries (and u can't disregard injury by the way. Thats just dumb) who knows? Again the WNBA needs more fans like you..Not the NBA.
@JayPleezer304 47% is pretty good. 44% is decent at best. Shooting guards rarely shoot even 47% for their career yet somehow 44% is pretty good. You're claiming he's one of the best shooters ever yet he shot a decent at best 44% from the field. You're full of it.
@JayPleezer304 Mullin, Reggie, MJ, Kobe, Kerr, Rice, Nash, Richmond, Petrovic, Mark Price, Hornacek, Stojakovic, Dirk, Ray Allen, West, Bird, Majerle, Houston, Dell Curry, Billups, Rashard Lewis, Stockton, Durant, Carter, Redd, Brent Barry, Hamilton, Kapono, Dale Ellis, Gordon, Stephan Curry, Szczerbiak, Arenas. All better shooters. Making this about shooters hurts your case so much because there are many who were better. Making it about better players also destroys you. It's a lose lose 4 you
@ThatwasTERRIBLE ok...mahmoud woulda wiped the floor with (shooting wise and playing wise) about 5 of these cats easy that you listed. Steve Kerr? Wally Szczerbiak? Jason Kapono? Are u serious???? Brent Barry??? Mahmoud would AVERAGE 50 on these cats. Stop watching basketball all together...Start watching syncronized swimming. He's definitely a pound for pound top 30 shooter....I bet stockton would agree with me. Especially about you needing to stay from ball. Real ball that is. Im done.
@JayPleezer304 You argued who were the best SHOOTERS of alltime. What does that have to do with Rauf putting 50 on Kapono??? Absolutely nothing. Now you are talking about defense, which means you switched to who are the better players. I gave you the list of players who were better shooters and you ran from it like I knew you would. You're right, you are done. He's not a top 30 shooter alltime and certainly not even a top 150 player alltime.
@JayPleezer304 Kerr, Barry, Szczerbiak, and Kapono had better FG and three point percentages than Rauf. The only percentage he had over them was foul shooting. Sorry fool, they were better shooters.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE Shooting the ball is what it is....whether its from 3, mid range, tear drop range, off the dribble, off of screens, pulling up in transition, spotting up or CONTESTED! (and alot of the players u named were nothing but spot up shooters. I mean jason kapono? Come on u dumb fuck, he's not going to hit 50 on a hall of famer), clutch shooting and from THE LINE....90%!!!! I run from nothing...especially some one who don't know shit about a man's game...WNBA groupie.
@JayPleezer304 Kapono had a better FG percentage and three point percentage than Rauf, PERIOD. You're obsessing over the 90 percent, but trying to ignore all the other percentages. You're boasting about him dropping 50 points, yet he only averaged 14PPG for his career, one of the lowest on my list. Not one season did he average 20 points. There are too many cases against your boy. He's a poor man's Jason Terry, and nothing more. You put your own foot in your mouth.
@JayPleezer304 having one good game doesnt mean your one of the best. if he woulda consistantly scored in the 30's or 20's then he might be on of the best shooters, but he just had one good game and besides tht game he was just average. % r misleading bcz he only avg 2 3 pters a game for his career and only 13 fgs for his career. if i shoot 1/2 and ray allen shoots 5-11 i'd have the higher percentage but ray allen is still the better shooter.
@WiltisGod Nah man...listen to the commentator at 7:20..."The man has done it time and time again..." Mahmoud was no rookie to shooting the lights out man...He was a right handed nick van exel...Both are two of the top 30 pound for pound shooters ive ever seen...And yes u are right. Stats can be misleading. If thats the case then steve nash is the purest, if not, the best shooter ever and there's no way i can agree with that...Larry Legend has that title hands down.
@WiltisGod Percentages actually aren't misleading. We aren't calculating the percentage for one game, but for the entire career. If we're discussing the greatest shooters ever, it wold be ridiculous to exclude the percentage of shots made. Of course percentages alone aren't sufficient. You have to take into consideration the amount of shots and points per game.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE it is if the guy avg 13 shots per game. he had games where he would barely shoot too. he'd shoot a high % when he barely shot and a bad % when he shot more (like everyone else) point is he wasn't consistant at all. he'd have good games then he'd have games where u didn't even know he was out there. lbj has a higher fg % than kobe bryant but who's the better midrange shooter? thts misleading.
@WiltisGod It doesn't matter if he shot little or alot because career TOTAL shots are calculated. We aren't discussing individual games or season. We are discussing CAREERS. Lebron iS acutally a better midrange shooter than Kobe.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE same principals. if he shoots times per game over his career as opposed to someone who shot 10+ times per game over his career mahmoud would have a better chance of gettin a higher shooting %. lol r u serious? Lebrons a better dunker, rebounder, passer, blocker, stealer, 3pt shooter, but the one thing kobe has over lebron and most ppl in the league is his midrange shot bcz its consistant. lebron's shot is anything but consistant. wtf r YOU talkin about???? btw lbj>kobe
@WiltisGod Again your wrong, Lebron has had a better midrange percentage than Kobe for most of his career. Kobe is actually a slightly better three point shooter. There absolutely no way you can dismiss the PERCENTAGE of SHOTS MADE, no matter how hard you try. It is just ridiculous to even consider doing so.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE did u know tht dunks and layups count for fg %? thts 90% of what lebron does. and if 3 pt % r so important to u then lbj would be the better 3pt shooter bcz he had a higher %. wilt chamberlain has the all time highest fg % at 70.7% and those were all layups and dunks. he couldn't shoot midrange. do u know wtf ur talkin about? srsly bcz higher % doesnt mean ur a better shooter as i just showed u. btw the closer u r the easier it is to make shots :)
@WiltisGod They actually keep record of midrange percentage also. Lebron has shot better. I'm not talking about total FG% faggot, I'm talking about midrange percentage. And 90% of Lebron's shots aren't dunks and layups. He shoots alot of jumpers. You mentioning Wilt is idiotic because Wilt is a center you dumbass, of course he doesn't shoot jumpers.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE lol lebron shoots alot of jumpers?? ok kid u have NO idea wtf your talkin about. lebron james is a slasher bcz his jump shot is the most inconsistant thing in the nba and if u dnt know tht then u rlly dont watch basketball. he muscles his way to the rim all the time and kobe always shoots midrange jumpers. nd i brought up wilt to show u how % r misleading. i swear im talkin to a fuckin wall right now. nd btw midrange shootin is NOT a stat dumbass! where the hell r u gettin that?
@WiltisGod Lebron shot the ball 20 times per game in 2010. 5 of those shots per game were 2 point jumpers, 5 were threes. HALF of his attempts were jumpers. He took 18 shots this past season. Nearly HALF of those shots were jumpers. That's how it's been for the last couple of seasons. So YES you dumbass, Lebron shoots alot of jumpers. The shot selection charts are available for everyone to see but if you watched basketball, you'd already know that he shoots alot of jumpers dumbass.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE half isn't even tht much especially when nearly EVERY SHOT KOBE TAKES IS A JUMPER! comparin lebron (who is a slasher) to kobe (who is a shooter) doesnt make any sense. if u rlly think tht lebron james has a better jumper than kobe then u rlly dont watch basketball for shit, and ur a fanboy. i like lebron too but i know he can't shoot better than kobe. if YOU watched basketball you'd see tht wut ur sayin is the dumbest shit in the world! does lbj have a better shot than dirk too?
@WiltisGod I already disproved you. Half of Lebron shots are jumpers, which in fact is alot. I guess you're the idiot that doesn't really watch basketball. I never compared Lebron and Kobe, you did idiot. Lebron is a better midrange shooter, and the numbers prove me right once more. Kobe is not even a great shooter, he's a good shooter and volume scorer.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE how did u disprove me? bcz u said half of lebrons shots r midrange??? what tht proves is tht half of the time lebron will pull up, half of the time he'll drive to the basket. if u were smart at all tht doesnt mean u shoot alot, tht means u shoot HALF OF THE TIME! kobe will shoot a jumper 3/4 times he gets the ball in half court bcz thts how the triangle offense works! u just sum retard fanboy if think tht bcz lbj has a better shootin % tht he's a better shooter.
@WiltisGod You claimed that he was a slasher, and you were terribly wron no matter how hard you try to cover your ignorance. Half jumpers for shot selection for a supposed "slasher" is infact alot. The rest of your post makes absolutely no sense so I won't even attempt to address it.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE lebron james isn't a slasher? haha! ok bye kiddo. im done arguing w/ u over shit tht ANYONE who watches basketball or knows anything about it would know. u say lebrons not a slasher, he's a shooter, even tho shooters will SHOOT the ball more than HALF THE TIME! you claim tht since lebron has a higher fg% tht he's a better shooter, but the more u SHOOT the ball the more u might miss! lbj shoots half the time kobe shoots prolly 80% of the time.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE on the basketball forum website they took a poll to find out who was the most feared SLASHER in the nba and lebron james topped tht list. experts know it, ppl who actually WATCH the games know it, shit ppl who play the games where it labels lebron james as a slasher know it! the only person who doesnt seem to know it is you. do u know what tht makes you? a dumbass little boy tht sits in his room on his computer waitin to cuss ppl out for a point even if he's dead wrong!
@WiltisGod Of course Lebron is one of the most feared slashers in the NBA. That's common knowledge. That doesn't mean that all he does is slash. He takes many jumpers. I've already proved that. Therefore it's idiotic to simply label him as a slasher. The cliched insults won't work, it only makes you look dumber than you already do. Take your embarrassment like a man and stop bitching like a chick.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE you proved he ATTEMPTS jumpers! not tht he even makes them. 1st. second you even said he's not a slasher. 3rd im not going to argue over things tht r common knowledge about the game. if u wanna go around sayin lebrons the next larry bird then u can do it. im not gonna try to teach some little ass hole tht will just come back w/ insults and sayin the same exact things when he's been proven wrong.
@WiltisGod I never said he wasn't a slasher dumbass. I said he shots alot of jumpers also, which he does. You're the one that foolishly labelled him as an exclusive slasher. That was your ignorance. Lebron has gotten flack sometimes for shooting too many jumpers. You're wrong and you know you are, no amount of terribly hyperbole can cover up your ignorance. Nowhere did I compare Lebron shooting to the caliber of Bird, but I understand your desperate tactics. That's usually what the wounded do.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE the "wounded" r usually the ones tht will call someone faggot, idiotic, dumbass, ignorant, etc. nd u were the first to start tht nd you've used it the most. so half lebrons attempts r jumpers but what u arent gettin is tht the other half (layups) will be a higher % which boosts his fg% which is what we've been talkin about. btw just bcz he ATTEMPTS shots doest mean he is a shooter! most of lebrons points come in the paint even if half his ATTEMTPS!!! r shots. attempts dont=makes
@WiltisGod You admit that you've used insults so your first sentence is idiotic. I know his layups boost his FG%. I'm not talking about FG% though. I'm talking about the specific percentage from 2 point jumpshots and 3s only, which they do keep track of. NOT LAYUPS AND DUNKS. Half of Lebron's shots are jumpers and he makes about 44% of those jumpers. He's a slasher and a shooter. If you shoot alot, you're a shooter, PERIOD. He makes a good enough percentage of those jumpers.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE lebron makes 37% of his jumpshots but 40% of his shots r jumpers smart ass not half! his 3 pt shootin is 34%. while kobe makes 44% of his jumpshots nd 59% of his shots r jumpers! thts why kobes a SHOOTER! MOST OF HIS SHOTS R JUMPERS IF UR A SHOOTER! lebrons inside % if 72% which is why his fg% is so good. lookin at these stats which is the better SHOOTER? btw kobe makes 35% of his 3pt shots obviously they do keep these stats u were just focused on how many lbj took. i dunno y
@WiltisGod Actually, last season, 69% of Lebron's shots were jumpshots. He shot 47%FG with his jumpshooting. 31% of his other shots were close, inside, or jumpers for 69%FG. Lebron actually made 47% of his jumpers, not 37% you fool.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE srry i was lookin at last yrs shot chart. but if a player takes more shots than another player then its easier for the guy takin less shots to have a better %. nd like i said lebron james is streaky. he'd have games where he'd go 1-? outside of 10 ft then he'd have games where he'd be near perfect. kobe bryant is more consistant bcz 3/4 shots he takes r midrange nd he still has a good shootin %. if u watched basketball you'd know this
@WiltisGod Kobe has an average shooting percentage, not good. He's just as streaky as Lebron. Lebron shoots more than enough shots to make it a good comparison. If he only took 3 jumpshots a game, then you'd have a point.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE u wanted me to compare shooting % nd show u why it is deceptive, so i compared lebron and kobes but i didn't know u were just a fan boy and didn't watch anyone else besides lebron play i'm sorry! lebron also has a higher shootin % than ray allen so i cant wait for u to tell me tht lebron james is a better shooter than ray allen. btw i never said kobe was a great shooter nd all u've done is say half lbj's shots r jumpers -which isnt alot-nd call me dumbass faggot etc. u dunno sht
@WiltisGod Nice try but I'm not a Lebron fan. They keep track of mostly every stat now including 2 point jumpers. Lebron shoots better from midrange than Kobe, and it's not a fan observation, it's the hard stats you dumbass.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE what stats? all u said is tht half lebron's attempts r shots half r layups. since when does lbj shooting half the time make him a great shooter? u didn't even say the % of those jumpers he acutally makes. u gave me STAT! and a stat tht rlly doesnt prove shit except tht he shoots and drives the same. i'm done arguing over nothin w/ u. its INSANE how much u dont know, really. watch a game, play a game. dont just look at a % nd assume a players a better shooter when hes CLEARLY not
@WiltisGod Kobe is the better three point shooter, Lebron is the better midrange shooter. That's what the stats say. And I'm not talking about overall FG%, I'm talking about strictly three point shooting and 2 point jumpshot percentage. They keep track of those you faggot. I've already proved you wrong, trying your whole argument about shooting percentages not mattering out of the window. Now you're typing nonsense. You're right, you are done bitch.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE faggot and bitch? r u just mad bcz u know what ur sayin is complete bullshit and u have NO idea wtf ur talkin about. and if kobe's a better 3 pt shooter then why is lebrons 3 pt % higher than his? exactly! you have no fuckin argument and all u do is cuss bcz u have no point. you've already proved how fuckin dumb u r by sayin lebrons not a slasher, and sayin lebrons a better shooter than kobe. next i suppose steve nash is a dunk contest winner right? haha go fuck urself kid!
@ThatwasTERRIBLE guarenteed if u ask anyone who knows shit about nba they'd tell u lebrons a slasher! and tht kobe has a better, more consistant shot. somethin isn't clickin when i tell u tht the quantity of shots actually matter. if kobe shoots twice as many jumpers as lebron then its a good chance he'd miss more right? meanin his midrange shootin % goes down right? and lebron who doesnt shoot as much would have a better chance of gettin a better % right? ur a complete dumbfuk if u dnt get this
he's one of the best basketball players pound-for-pound because skills-wise he can compete and keep up with the bests of the game but ranking him as one of the greatest ever uhmmm i don't think so.
thank god someone mention him on NBA tonight. I think they were talkin about the best little guards of all time. Thats how I found out too, but still Iverson, Isaiah> Abdul-Rauf
I'm a fan of Chris Jackson/Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf. But come on, to say he is one of the greatest shooting guards ever seen is a straight up lie; Michael Jordan,Kobe Bryant,Jerry West,George Gervin,Clyde Drexler,Reggie Miller, Joe Dumars and many many many others are significantly greater.
He's not even the best shooting guard in Nuggets (Alex English) or Vancouver Grizzlies history (Michael Dickerson).
I'm just an unselfish person genuinely trying to help and speaking on the current state of our world. If I'm not part of the solution, I'm part of the problem. This is as real as it gets and if you happen to disagree, that is completely fine. We all have our own brains and can form our own ideas and express them freely :] If you do agree feel free to share/spread. It has nothing to do with me-no ulterior motives, rather just a message, a reminder :]
That is true dedication to the game of basketball. There are no other players that can get that ball through the hoop without touching the rim as much as Mahmoud Abdul Rauf. Abdul Rauf is one of the greatest players ever.
@Aaronsinge yea my sister's nephew's, brother's uncle's, best friend's, aunt's brother is Michael Jordan. By the way it is "couldn't" not could care less.
The same day Abdul Rauf embarassed that young girl who was trying to sing the National Anthem at a Bulls game, his Airness, MJ should've busted Abdul Rauf right in the mouth for disrespecting our National Anthem & our country which at one point in time was Abdul Rauf's (when he known as Chris Jackson.)
@Aaronsinge B/c this is America the land of the free & home of the brave. As Chris Jackson MAR was an All American guard at LSU. I never thought in a million yrs that I'd ever hear a former All American college BB player say such bs like "I hate that (National) Anthem. I hate that flag. All it represents is tyranny." Not even Kareem, Dikembe or Hakeem would stoop that low. They loved USA. Then when 9/11 came all I could think about is what AR said. It not only made me sick but it made me angry.
@Aaronsinge Kareem was also an All American as Lew Alcindor at UCLA & when he turned to Islam after graduation he stayed proud of being an American. Though he praised MAR for being a great athlete he also in the same criticized him for making such hateful remarks. Notice when Kareem was playing he always respected the National Anthem (by bowing his head or closing eyes w/his hands behind his back.) That's all MAR had to do. Hakeem loved America so much that he became a naturalized US citizen.
Abdul Rauf was probably smiling when 9/11 took place & more than 4,000 Americans died in the WTC, Pentagon & Flight 93 (on its way to bombard the WH.) What a MF'ing sicko. He's a real piece of work.
Abdul Rauf is a disgrace to America for what he did during the playing of our National Anthem. One time he had his hands in his pockets. Another he laid down & did exercise stretches. The third he prayed to his not so high & mighty Allah when some 11 yr girl was trying to sing the Anthem. If you saw the look on her face you'd be pissed off too. What an awful way to disrespect America which BTW was his country too.
Wouldn't surprise me if he's recruited by bin Laden & al Qaeda...next.
Damn, he toyed with Stockton. He was Iverson before Iverson, he seems the perfect player, nice moves, seems every shot is going in, perfect stroke. And he still balls in Japan. Mahmoud-Dale Ellis-Jalen Rose-Dice-Dikembe. What a team.
He really wasn't followed due to his religous beliefs and didn't put himself out there so there you have it. He wasn't a fan friendly guy, Didn't really care about endorsements or anything. He was quiet and not to mention what killed his career was the flag stuff.
Back in the day NBA: When the next feared skillset besides a shooting lefty (Mullin) is a quick release point. And there were many, including this guy.
una de las mejores sino la mejor tecnica de tiro de la historia del baloncesto, un jugador especial que cuando estaba on fire no tenia rival. Grandisimo.
Mahmoud was the TRUTH in college and had a great pro career. This dude is KILLING Stocton and anybody else that attempted to guard him in this game. I had this whole game on tape and accidentally erased over it but I have some others of him where he would just shoot peoples eyes out. Check out his college clips on youtube. This dude was doing pro moves as a Freshman. MAD SKILLZ!!!
america hates it when the black man finally realizes the truth and seeks the right path. Look at kareem abdul jabbar who is statistically the greatest basketball player of all time yet u never see his name in the media.
@327372 what a silly thing to say. kareem is heavily regarded as one of the greatest centers to ever play the game. his famous sky hook is legendary. how much more would you expect the "american media" to talk about him? as much as kobe? the man's been retired for over 20 years. how many players do you know that have been retired for 20 years continue to be spoken about in the sports media on a regular basis? maybe what you say has some truth to it, but you picked a very poor example.
@327372 what about muhammad ali? are you saying the american media doesn't talk about him enough or that he's underrated? you CAN'T be fuckin serious if that's what you're saying. you're about to lose all credibility with this muslim theory now if you say that. i don't know if there's an american athlete that's been more immortalized by the media then muhammad ali. this seems to be more ridiculous then what you said about kareem. please tell me i'm misunderstanding you. lol
@FuckUtube2008 after the locked him up. in his damn prime, whatever dude. Muslim is the new communism....communism was the enemy back then...NO communist got air time.
@FuckUtube2008 You must be either 12 or in your teens. As the interjection of the U.S. treameant aka Red Scare hinders you from being able to argue a logical point. Thus proving you don't know much.....thanks for playing.
@JColeM7785 like i said, you're a dumb ass. get a life and get over your stupid anti-muslim paranoia. you idiots just come on here and pull theories out your ass without a shred of evidence to support them. i find you internet "intellectuals" asinine. put a needle to the balloon and pop it already.
@FuckUtube2008 So what it is it you, that i'm actually a Christian? And that i'm actually well read on the Bible and the Koran. See the crime here, is that instead of you admitting you know nothing of the topic i.e. Red Scare in America/ Rush to judgement in Irag......you choose to just yell back things that are completely objectionable. As i'm sure you won't do the mature thing in response to this post...I bid you a good day.
@JColeM7785 okay so-called christian. whatever floats your boat. christian or muslim, you're a moron nontheless. i'm sure you won't do the logical thing and ACTUALLY give some evidence for your idiotic theories. you see i call you a dumb fuck because you come on here and state things that don't even make sense as has already been pointing out several times in this post. when your theories are debunk or proven illogical all you idiots do is repeat yourself and make ad hominem attacks. get a life.
@JColeM7785: yes, i agree with ur point about communism. I have taken a history course on communism and cold war, and definitely the USA needs an "enemy" to fuel its military-industrial complex. the american economy also relies on producing military weapons.
come on he is the best ever but because he muslim he dont get recognized stupid americans he would of been in lots of all star game he is like steve nash the same punk ass americans michael jordan cant even guard him
@MSH786 He wasn't even one of the best players in the league when he played, let alone alltime. He'd be lucky if he ranked anywhere near the top 250 players alltime.
@MSH786 How did he get blacklisted when he played 3 seasons after his refusal to participate in the anthem. Injuries hurt him. If he wasn't injured and was good enough to play, he would've still been playing. Fact is, he became injured so it wasn't even worth keeping him with all of hte controversy.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE The fact is he did get blacklisted by the league and even by many fans because of all of the "controversy" of him not standing up while the National Anthem was playing and that was a big factor of him not getting re-signed or signed by another team at the end of the day.
Good God, that brother can ball -_- and hes Quick too, reminds me of Iverson...but alot more disciplined with his game....very good Decision Maker. im glad he got to leave the NBA and travel the world and play ball, the NBA can be such a RESTRICTIVE and closed minded league...especially with Godfather Stern at the wheel -_-
Mahmoud is a Hero like DR king. AmeriKKKa enslaved Africans for 200 year. Not standing up for the symbol of the people who tyrannized them is their God given right.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Fuck this fag...You respect this country and the national anthem. Maybe he should go back to nigeria and sleep on the streets.. He wants all the benefits of living in America, making millions in a country that gave it to him, but he doesnt respect it.. FUCK THIS DIRTY MUSLIM PIECE OF SHIT
Yeah fuck ALL Religion... Im Christian but I would never die for my religion.. I would die For this great country called America...Your basis for your argument is crap, I hate that douche because in the country he makes millions in, he does not have the decency to pay respect for by respecting the pledge. That is a spit on the faces of the women and men who died for our country and gave him the chance to make a ton of money and has no problems other trhan how to spend his moneyGOD BLESS AMERICA
I can't believe some of these post. Mahmoud is a straight out scorer. John Stockton could never guard this guy. John Stockton is a great point guard but Chris Jackson is a straight in your face scorer. You can't teach skills like that.
I heard he refused to stand up for the US national anthem. He must be a wise man, more people should do the same, USA's global actions justify us not having to respect their national anthem, I'm proud to say I have done the same in the past.

@JayPleezer304 That's a nonsensical proposition. There are more than 30 shooting guards that have had much better careers than he's had. He had a nine season career in which he missed a ton of games and made ZERO allstar appearances. Stop your nonsense.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE Look man, Im talking about top 30 shooters not players. As far as SHOOTING the basketball is concerned, free throw %, mid range, 3 pt range and %, off the dribble, screens, transition, all the while shooting a high percentage, even when contested, he is easy top 25. i could careless how short his career or lack of all star appearances...the proof is here on video....52 pts on multiple all defense legend john stockton...and not even a top 30 SHOOTER?...please.
JayPleezer304 7 months ago
@JayPleezer304 Again you're full of shit. His field goal percentage is 44 percent which is nothing special. His three point percentage is 35 percent, which is nothing special. The only thing he had that set him apart was foul shooting, nothing else about his records indicates superiority. I'm sorry but mediocre field goal and three point percentage and a 14 PPG average don't equal anywhere close to even top 30 shooter alltime.There are plenty of players who shot better and averaged better #s.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE Mediocre? LoL...44% is damn good, as is 35% from 3 ...all that aside, on top of him being blacklisted at a time when he was plagued by injury, he was on his way to having a all star caliber career. Maybe not a hall of fame career, but, he definitely had all star caliber...And again...90% from free throw...U don't shoot 90% (FOR YOUR ENTIRE CAREER) in the fucking NBA and not be considered in the top 30...U need to start watching the WNBA instead...u don't know SHIT..
JayPleezer304 7 months ago
@JayPleezer304 Mauf is ranked 195th alltime in three point shooting percentage. 195th. A 44% FG is average for a shooting guard. 50% is pretty damn good for a shooting guard. If he was going to be an Allstar, he would've been. I don't care about his injuries. Fact is that besides great foul shooting, he was nothing special. If the game was only foul shots, then you'd have a case. Don't even respond again, cause if you do, I'll name at least 30 players who were better shooters or players than him
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE Name 30 that were better shooters.....SHOOTERS...Not players...You wil lose this argument...Steve Kerr would never hit 52 on JOHN STOCKTON! The majority of his 52 points were JUMPSHOTS!...JUMPSHOTS! And 50% is not average. 50% is LEGENDARY...if woulda played longer with alot less injuries (and u can't disregard injury by the way. Thats just dumb) who knows? Again the WNBA needs more fans like you..Not the NBA.

@JayPleezer304 47% is pretty good. 44% is decent at best. Shooting guards rarely shoot even 47% for their career yet somehow 44% is pretty good. You're claiming he's one of the best shooters ever yet he shot a decent at best 44% from the field. You're full of it.

@JayPleezer304 Mullin, Reggie, MJ, Kobe, Kerr, Rice, Nash, Richmond, Petrovic, Mark Price, Hornacek, Stojakovic, Dirk, Ray Allen, West, Bird, Majerle, Houston, Dell Curry, Billups, Rashard Lewis, Stockton, Durant, Carter, Redd, Brent Barry, Hamilton, Kapono, Dale Ellis, Gordon, Stephan Curry, Szczerbiak, Arenas. All better shooters. Making this about shooters hurts your case so much because there are many who were better. Making it about better players also destroys you. It's a lose lose 4 you

@ThatwasTERRIBLE ok...mahmoud woulda wiped the floor with (shooting wise and playing wise) about 5 of these cats easy that you listed. Steve Kerr? Wally Szczerbiak? Jason Kapono? Are u serious???? Brent Barry??? Mahmoud would AVERAGE 50 on these cats. Stop watching basketball all together...Start watching syncronized swimming. He's definitely a pound for pound top 30 shooter....I bet stockton would agree with me. Especially about you needing to stay from ball. Real ball that is. Im done.
JayPleezer304 7 months ago
@JayPleezer304 You argued who were the best SHOOTERS of alltime. What does that have to do with Rauf putting 50 on Kapono??? Absolutely nothing. Now you are talking about defense, which means you switched to who are the better players. I gave you the list of players who were better shooters and you ran from it like I knew you would. You're right, you are done. He's not a top 30 shooter alltime and certainly not even a top 150 player alltime.

Come on u dumb fuck, he's not going to hit 50 on a hall of famer), clutch shooting and from THE LINE....90%!!!!

@JayPleezer304 Kapono had a better FG percentage and three point percentage than Rauf, PERIOD. You're obsessing over the 90 percent, but trying to ignore all the other percentages. You're boasting about him dropping 50 points, yet he only averaged 14PPG for his career, one of the lowest on my list. Not one season did he average 20 points. There are too many cases against your boy. He's a poor man's Jason Terry, and nothing more. You put your own foot in your mouth.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@JayPleezer304 having one good game doesnt mean your one of the best. if he woulda consistantly scored in the 30's or 20's then he might be on of the best shooters, but he just had one good game and besides tht game he was just average. % r misleading bcz he only avg 2 3 pters a game for his career and only 13 fgs for his career. if i shoot 1/2 and ray allen shoots 5-11 i'd have the higher percentage but ray allen is still the better shooter.
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod Nah man...listen to the commentator at 7:20..."The man has done it time and time again..." Mahmoud was no rookie to shooting the lights out man...He was a right handed nick van exel...Both are two of the top 30 pound for pound shooters ive ever seen...And yes u are right. Stats can be misleading. If thats the case then steve nash is the purest, if not, the best shooter ever and there's no way i can agree with that...Larry Legend has that title hands down.
JayPleezer304 7 months ago
@WiltisGod Percentages actually aren't misleading. We aren't calculating the percentage for one game, but for the entire career. If we're discussing the greatest shooters ever, it wold be ridiculous to exclude the percentage of shots made. Of course percentages alone aren't sufficient. You have to take into consideration the amount of shots and points per game.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE it is if the guy avg 13 shots per game. he had games where he would barely shoot too. he'd shoot a high % when he barely shot and a bad % when he shot more (like everyone else) point is he wasn't consistant at all. he'd have good games then he'd have games where u didn't even know he was out there. lbj has a higher fg % than kobe bryant but who's the better midrange shooter? thts misleading.
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod It doesn't matter if he shot little or alot because career TOTAL shots are calculated. We aren't discussing individual games or season. We are discussing CAREERS. Lebron iS acutally a better midrange shooter than Kobe.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE same principals. if he shoots times per game over his career as opposed to someone who shot 10+ times per game over his career mahmoud would have a better chance of gettin a higher shooting %. lol r u serious? Lebrons a better dunker, rebounder, passer, blocker, stealer, 3pt shooter, but the one thing kobe has over lebron and most ppl in the league is his midrange shot bcz its consistant. lebron's shot is anything but consistant. wtf r YOU talkin about???? btw lbj>kobe
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod Again your wrong, Lebron has had a better midrange percentage than Kobe for most of his career. Kobe is actually a slightly better three point shooter. There absolutely no way you can dismiss the PERCENTAGE of SHOTS MADE, no matter how hard you try. It is just ridiculous to even consider doing so.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE did u know tht dunks and layups count for fg %? thts 90% of what lebron does. and if 3 pt % r so important to u then lbj would be the better 3pt shooter bcz he had a higher %. wilt chamberlain has the all time highest fg % at 70.7% and those were all layups and dunks. he couldn't shoot midrange. do u know wtf ur talkin about? srsly bcz higher % doesnt mean ur a better shooter as i just showed u. btw the closer u r the easier it is to make shots :)
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod They actually keep record of midrange percentage also. Lebron has shot better. I'm not talking about total FG% faggot, I'm talking about midrange percentage. And 90% of Lebron's shots aren't dunks and layups. He shoots alot of jumpers. You mentioning Wilt is idiotic because Wilt is a center you dumbass, of course he doesn't shoot jumpers.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE lol lebron shoots alot of jumpers?? ok kid u have NO idea wtf your talkin about. lebron james is a slasher bcz his jump shot is the most inconsistant thing in the nba and if u dnt know tht then u rlly dont watch basketball. he muscles his way to the rim all the time and kobe always shoots midrange jumpers. nd i brought up wilt to show u how % r misleading. i swear im talkin to a fuckin wall right now. nd btw midrange shootin is NOT a stat dumbass! where the hell r u gettin that?
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod Lebron shot the ball 20 times per game in 2010. 5 of those shots per game were 2 point jumpers, 5 were threes. HALF of his attempts were jumpers. He took 18 shots this past season. Nearly HALF of those shots were jumpers. That's how it's been for the last couple of seasons. So YES you dumbass, Lebron shoots alot of jumpers. The shot selection charts are available for everyone to see but if you watched basketball, you'd already know that he shoots alot of jumpers dumbass.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE half isn't even tht much especially when nearly EVERY SHOT KOBE TAKES IS A JUMPER! comparin lebron (who is a slasher) to kobe (who is a shooter) doesnt make any sense. if u rlly think tht lebron james has a better jumper than kobe then u rlly dont watch basketball for shit, and ur a fanboy. i like lebron too but i know he can't shoot better than kobe. if YOU watched basketball you'd see tht wut ur sayin is the dumbest shit in the world! does lbj have a better shot than dirk too?
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod I already disproved you. Half of Lebron shots are jumpers, which in fact is alot. I guess you're the idiot that doesn't really watch basketball. I never compared Lebron and Kobe, you did idiot. Lebron is a better midrange shooter, and the numbers prove me right once more. Kobe is not even a great shooter, he's a good shooter and volume scorer.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE how did u disprove me? bcz u said half of lebrons shots r midrange??? what tht proves is tht half of the time lebron will pull up, half of the time he'll drive to the basket. if u were smart at all tht doesnt mean u shoot alot, tht means u shoot HALF OF THE TIME! kobe will shoot a jumper 3/4 times he gets the ball in half court bcz thts how the triangle offense works! u just sum retard fanboy if think tht bcz lbj has a better shootin % tht he's a better shooter.
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod You claimed that he was a slasher, and you were terribly wron no matter how hard you try to cover your ignorance. Half jumpers for shot selection for a supposed "slasher" is infact alot. The rest of your post makes absolutely no sense so I won't even attempt to address it.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE lebron james isn't a slasher? haha! ok bye kiddo. im done arguing w/ u over shit tht ANYONE who watches basketball or knows anything about it would know. u say lebrons not a slasher, he's a shooter, even tho shooters will SHOOT the ball more than HALF THE TIME! you claim tht since lebron has a higher fg% tht he's a better shooter, but the more u SHOOT the ball the more u might miss! lbj shoots half the time kobe shoots prolly 80% of the time.
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE on the basketball forum website they took a poll to find out who was the most feared SLASHER in the nba and lebron james topped tht list. experts know it, ppl who actually WATCH the games know it, shit ppl who play the games where it labels lebron james as a slasher know it! the only person who doesnt seem to know it is you. do u know what tht makes you? a dumbass little boy tht sits in his room on his computer waitin to cuss ppl out for a point even if he's dead wrong!
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod Of course Lebron is one of the most feared slashers in the NBA. That's common knowledge. That doesn't mean that all he does is slash. He takes many jumpers. I've already proved that. Therefore it's idiotic to simply label him as a slasher. The cliched insults won't work, it only makes you look dumber than you already do. Take your embarrassment like a man and stop bitching like a chick.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE you proved he ATTEMPTS jumpers! not tht he even makes them. 1st. second you even said he's not a slasher. 3rd im not going to argue over things tht r common knowledge about the game. if u wanna go around sayin lebrons the next larry bird then u can do it. im not gonna try to teach some little ass hole tht will just come back w/ insults and sayin the same exact things when he's been proven wrong.
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod I never said he wasn't a slasher dumbass. I said he shots alot of jumpers also, which he does. You're the one that foolishly labelled him as an exclusive slasher. That was your ignorance. Lebron has gotten flack sometimes for shooting too many jumpers. You're wrong and you know you are, no amount of terribly hyperbole can cover up your ignorance. Nowhere did I compare Lebron shooting to the caliber of Bird, but I understand your desperate tactics. That's usually what the wounded do.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE the "wounded" r usually the ones tht will call someone faggot, idiotic, dumbass, ignorant, etc. nd u were the first to start tht nd you've used it the most. so half lebrons attempts r jumpers but what u arent gettin is tht the other half (layups) will be a higher % which boosts his fg% which is what we've been talkin about. btw just bcz he ATTEMPTS shots doest mean he is a shooter! most of lebrons points come in the paint even if half his ATTEMTPS!!! r shots. attempts dont=makes
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod You admit that you've used insults so your first sentence is idiotic. I know his layups boost his FG%. I'm not talking about FG% though. I'm talking about the specific percentage from 2 point jumpshots and 3s only, which they do keep track of. NOT LAYUPS AND DUNKS. Half of Lebron's shots are jumpers and he makes about 44% of those jumpers. He's a slasher and a shooter. If you shoot alot, you're a shooter, PERIOD. He makes a good enough percentage of those jumpers.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE lebron makes 37% of his jumpshots but 40% of his shots r jumpers smart ass not half! his 3 pt shootin is 34%. while kobe makes 44% of his jumpshots nd 59% of his shots r jumpers! thts why kobes a SHOOTER! MOST OF HIS SHOTS R JUMPERS IF UR A SHOOTER! lebrons inside % if 72% which is why his fg% is so good. lookin at these stats which is the better SHOOTER? btw kobe makes 35% of his 3pt shots obviously they do keep these stats u were just focused on how many lbj took. i dunno y
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod Actually, last season, 69% of Lebron's shots were jumpshots. He shot 47%FG with his jumpshooting. 31% of his other shots were close, inside, or jumpers for 69%FG. Lebron actually made 47% of his jumpers, not 37% you fool.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE srry i was lookin at last yrs shot chart. but if a player takes more shots than another player then its easier for the guy takin less shots to have a better %. nd like i said lebron james is streaky. he'd have games where he'd go 1-? outside of 10 ft then he'd have games where he'd be near perfect. kobe bryant is more consistant bcz 3/4 shots he takes r midrange nd he still has a good shootin %. if u watched basketball you'd know this
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod Kobe has an average shooting percentage, not good. He's just as streaky as Lebron. Lebron shoots more than enough shots to make it a good comparison. If he only took 3 jumpshots a game, then you'd have a point.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE u wanted me to compare shooting % nd show u why it is deceptive, so i compared lebron and kobes but i didn't know u were just a fan boy and didn't watch anyone else besides lebron play i'm sorry! lebron also has a higher shootin % than ray allen so i cant wait for u to tell me tht lebron james is a better shooter than ray allen. btw i never said kobe was a great shooter nd all u've done is say half lbj's shots r jumpers -which isnt alot-nd call me dumbass faggot etc. u dunno sht
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod Nice try but I'm not a Lebron fan. They keep track of mostly every stat now including 2 point jumpers. Lebron shoots better from midrange than Kobe, and it's not a fan observation, it's the hard stats you dumbass.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE what stats? all u said is tht half lebron's attempts r shots half r layups. since when does lbj shooting half the time make him a great shooter? u didn't even say the % of those jumpers he acutally makes. u gave me STAT! and a stat tht rlly doesnt prove shit except tht he shoots and drives the same. i'm done arguing over nothin w/ u. its INSANE how much u dont know, really. watch a game, play a game. dont just look at a % nd assume a players a better shooter when hes CLEARLY not
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@WiltisGod Kobe is the better three point shooter, Lebron is the better midrange shooter. That's what the stats say. And I'm not talking about overall FG%, I'm talking about strictly three point shooting and 2 point jumpshot percentage. They keep track of those you faggot. I've already proved you wrong, trying your whole argument about shooting percentages not mattering out of the window. Now you're typing nonsense. You're right, you are done bitch.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE faggot and bitch? r u just mad bcz u know what ur sayin is complete bullshit and u have NO idea wtf ur talkin about. and if kobe's a better 3 pt shooter then why is lebrons 3 pt % higher than his? exactly! you have no fuckin argument and all u do is cuss bcz u have no point. you've already proved how fuckin dumb u r by sayin lebrons not a slasher, and sayin lebrons a better shooter than kobe. next i suppose steve nash is a dunk contest winner right? haha go fuck urself kid!
WiltisGod 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE guarenteed if u ask anyone who knows shit about nba they'd tell u lebrons a slasher! and tht kobe has a better, more consistant shot. somethin isn't clickin when i tell u tht the quantity of shots actually matter. if kobe shoots twice as many jumpers as lebron then its a good chance he'd miss more right? meanin his midrange shootin % goes down right? and lebron who doesnt shoot as much would have a better chance of gettin a better % right? ur a complete dumbfuk if u dnt get this

He's not even the best shooting guard in Nuggets (Alex English) or Vancouver Grizzlies history (Michael Dickerson).

@Aaronsinge B/c this is America the land of the free & home of the brave. As Chris Jackson MAR was an All American guard at LSU. I never thought in a million yrs that I'd ever hear a former All American college BB player say such bs like "I hate that (National) Anthem. I hate that flag. All it represents is tyranny." Not even Kareem, Dikembe or Hakeem would stoop that low. They loved USA. Then when 9/11 came all I could think about is what AR said. It not only made me sick but it made me angry.
bucky468 1 year ago
@Aaronsinge Kareem was also an All American as Lew Alcindor at UCLA & when he turned to Islam after graduation he stayed proud of being an American. Though he praised MAR for being a great athlete he also in the same criticized him for making such hateful remarks. Notice when Kareem was playing he always respected the National Anthem (by bowing his head or closing eyes w/his hands behind his back.) That's all MAR had to do. Hakeem loved America so much that he became a naturalized US citizen.

Abdul Rauf was probably smiling when 9/11 took place & more than 4,000 Americans died in the WTC, Pentagon & Flight 93 (on its way to bombard the WH.) What a MF'ing sicko. He's a real piece of work.
bucky468 1 year ago
Abdul Rauf is a disgrace to America for what he did during the playing of our National Anthem. One time he had his hands in his pockets. Another he laid down & did exercise stretches. The third he prayed to his not so high & mighty Allah when some 11 yr girl was trying to sing the Anthem. If you saw the look on her face you'd be pissed off too. What an awful way to disrespect America which BTW was his country too.

@327372 what a silly thing to say. kareem is heavily regarded as one of the greatest centers to ever play the game. his famous sky hook is legendary. how much more would you expect the "american media" to talk about him? as much as kobe? the man's been retired for over 20 years. how many players do you know that have been retired for 20 years continue to be spoken about in the sports media on a regular basis? maybe what you say has some truth to it, but you picked a very poor example.

@FuckUtube2008: ok what about muhammad ali? ... and no one can argue that Ali is not the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time.
327372 1 year ago
@327372 what about muhammad ali? are you saying the american media doesn't talk about him enough or that he's underrated? you CAN'T be fuckin serious if that's what you're saying. you're about to lose all credibility with this muslim theory now if you say that. i don't know if there's an american athlete that's been more immortalized by the media then muhammad ali. this seems to be more ridiculous then what you said about kareem. please tell me i'm misunderstanding you. lol

@FuckUtube2008 You must be either 12 or in your teens. As the interjection of the U.S. treameant aka Red Scare hinders you from being able to argue a logical point. Thus proving you don't know much.....thanks for playing.

@JColeM7785 like i said, you're a dumb ass. get a life and get over your stupid anti-muslim paranoia. you idiots just come on here and pull theories out your ass without a shred of evidence to support them. i find you internet "intellectuals" asinine. put a needle to the balloon and pop it already.
FuckUtube2008 1 year ago
@FuckUtube2008 So what it is it you, that i'm actually a Christian? And that i'm actually well read on the Bible and the Koran. See the crime here, is that instead of you admitting you know nothing of the topic i.e. Red Scare in America/ Rush to judgement in Irag......you choose to just yell back things that are completely objectionable. As i'm sure you won't do the mature thing in response to this post...I bid you a good day.
JColeM7785 1 year ago
@JColeM7785 okay so-called christian. whatever floats your boat. christian or muslim, you're a moron nontheless. i'm sure you won't do the logical thing and ACTUALLY give some evidence for your idiotic theories. you see i call you a dumb fuck because you come on here and state things that don't even make sense as has already been pointing out several times in this post. when your theories are debunk or proven illogical all you idiots do is repeat yourself and make ad hominem attacks. get a life.

@JColeM7785: yes, i agree with ur point about communism. I have taken a history course on communism and cold war, and definitely the USA needs an "enemy" to fuel its military-industrial complex. the american economy also relies on producing military weapons.

@MSH786 He wasn't even one of the best players in the league when he played, let alone alltime. He'd be lucky if he ranked anywhere near the top 250 players alltime.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE Okay maybe not, but he definitely had potential to be until he got blacklisted and blackballed by the league!
MSH786 7 months ago
@MSH786 How did he get blacklisted when he played 3 seasons after his refusal to participate in the anthem. Injuries hurt him. If he wasn't injured and was good enough to play, he would've still been playing. Fact is, he became injured so it wasn't even worth keeping him with all of hte controversy.
ThatwasTERRIBLE 7 months ago
@ThatwasTERRIBLE The fact is he did get blacklisted by the league and even by many fans because of all of the "controversy" of him not standing up while the National Anthem was playing and that was a big factor of him not getting re-signed or signed by another team at the end of the day.
MSH786 7 months ago
Good God, that brother can ball -_- and hes Quick too, reminds me of Iverson...but alot more disciplined with his game....very good Decision Maker. im glad he got to leave the NBA and travel the world and play ball, the NBA can be such a RESTRICTIVE and closed minded league...especially with Godfather Stern at the wheel -_-

Fuck this fag...You respect this country and the national anthem. Maybe he should go back to nigeria and sleep on the streets.. He wants all the benefits of living in America, making millions in a country that gave it to him, but he doesnt respect it.. FUCK THIS DIRTY MUSLIM PIECE OF SHIT

Yeah fuck ALL Religion... Im Christian but I would never die for my religion.. I would die For this great country called America...Your basis for your argument is crap, I hate that douche because in the country he makes millions in, he does not have the decency to pay respect for by respecting the pledge. That is a spit on the faces of the women and men who died for our country and gave him the chance to make a ton of money and has no problems other trhan how to spend his moneyGOD BLESS AMERICA

I can't believe some of these post. Mahmoud is a straight out scorer. John Stockton could never guard this guy. John Stockton is a great point guard but Chris Jackson is a straight in your face scorer. You can't teach skills like that.
