Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

[theWayofstrategy]

amazing in collage and done a lot of great stuff as an undersized scorer, damn he even has tourette, could heat up like few guys could in the 90's, real shame most people remember the national anthem thing of him...

[tandjteam]

hey i love these videos, he's such and underlooked player, i think he has the pretiest jumper ever, would you be able to make a video with his form slowed down? or post more videos of him shooting? that would be amazing!

[omw786]

Poor guy. There were basketball players involved in all kinds of controversies like sexual assault cases, domestic abuse cases; yet they always gave these guys second and third chances. They just shoved poor Mahmoud into the ground and pressured him from so many directions because he is a muslim.

[WiltisGod]

@omw786 wtf?????? u can be muslim if u want tht doesnt mean u get to disrespect another country! he wasn't attacked bcz he was muslim he was attacked bcz he sat there tying his shoes during the national anthem! the guy did a dumbass thing that cant be justified especially if ur a citizen of this country! tv. i guess the guy wanted to make a statement tht bcz he's islamic he's no longer has to respect america (the country he grew up in).

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod

Look, fuck you and fuck that national anthem. His actions made it clear that in a country that screams about freedom, he actually did not have any. Yes, dumbass the issue was the fact that he is a Muslim. Stop treating patriotism like it's a homecoming game pep rally. Give me an 'A', give me a 'M'...... True patriotism (if it is actually patriotism and not fascism in disguise) CAN survive NOT standing for the national anthem. And you WILL survive (I hope) me telling you to fuck off.

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms your a dumbass! what was he deprived of? he played in the nba, wasn't shit before he converted, but bcz he still wasn't shit after it means he was 'deprived'. does the usa olympics team stand for every other countries national anthem? yes, bcz its a sign of respect! u dont have to like a country but u respect it ESPECIALLY IF IT ALLOWS HIM TO BE FREE! try pullin tht shit in mid east nd u die! how do u condone someone disrespectin a country?

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms and i can tell by ur comment that ur a real smart person: 'fuck off' 'fuck you' 'fuck the national anthem'. yup, ur goin places. lol u dnt know wtf ur talkin about bcz he wasn't deprived for his beliefs, he was deprived bcz he's a dumbass nd did somethin a professional, respectful man would never do-i dont expect u to understand. im just sayin he did a retarded thing if he wants to be successful in AMERICA! u dont spit in ur bosses face nd expect to keep goin on how u were.

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod

"Freedom" means he should not have to be on the court for the national anthem if he chooses not to. That is freedom. That anthem is simply a melody sung by the ignorant, uneducated and poor. Because they some how believe those words have something to do with their "freedom". Pretty damn stupid if you ask me (and technically you did). This man's career went on and he still continues to play the game he loves. "Freedom" is NOT about symbols like flags and anthems.

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms no freedom is being able to say what u want nd do what u want w/in the law. he didnt stand for the national anthem. did he get killed, thrown in jail, or fired? NO! nd u even said he went on to play so he exercised his freedom. nd it seems ignorant to me tht u would lump all americans into one category. are all black ppl ghetto, jesus freaks? no. r all mexicans gardeners? no. r all americans ignorant? no! obviously theres freedom in this country bcz he did what he did w/o dying dumbass

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod Your fascist thinking continues to plague america. I wonder if the reverance of those symbols will continue when China demands that both their flag and anthem be sung on the trading floor every morning at the opening bell on Wall St? Or maybe in class rooms? Immediately following your national anthem of course. That way you won’t be too frightened of what is coming. Nobody gives a damn about the dying carcass that is america. So, fuck off.

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms why would we sing the chinese national anthem on wall st? this guy was born and raised in america where he's had the freedom and money to do what he pleases. the guy went to college in america where he got a top class education, his employers were amercian nd allowed him to make millions of dollars to play the game tht america developed nd allowed him to be good at. the LEAST he could do is stand for his own countries national anthme. but he didnt and he wasnt executed or put in jail.

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms btw america has twice the GDP china has so if america is a dying carcass then the rest of the world is a decayed pile of shit. maybe u should learn what ur talkin about instead of just lumpin all americans together, nd sayin we'll be taken over by china. where r u from?

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod

Wow! No clue what you are talking about. But my point was clear. You idiot americans spend so much time honoring symbols, you forget the deeper meaning of those symbols. Freedom is not about a flag, or a song. It should be practiced everyday. It is not about cookouts and Coors light. You cling to these symbols while your rights & freedoms are being stripped away daily.

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod

“The least he can do”. Rauf does not "owe" anyone a damn thing. He did not receive a hand out. His success came from his sweat and discipline. He was told he MUST come out of the locker room and stand That was not an option. And he was not thrown in jail. But the house HE PAID FOR was burned. His property was vandalized. Do you even know the circumstances of this story? Or did you see Muslim, National anthem, won’t stand, and just formed your opinion?

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms every nation honors their flag you dumbshit! if u go to ANY country and dont stand for their anthem they would take offense, its not just america. and could this guy go to ucla and get paid millions to play basketball in some other country? NO! nd u act like america is the only country to ever have their citizens do something irrational. germans killed 5 millions jews bcz they thought they were a problem, iraq was killing its own ppl if the leader thought they didnt like him

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod

I pray sincerely that you are not that stupid. He was ostracized and his safety was compromised. This was bigger than basketball. As for GDP being greater than China. What year are you in? GDP does not tell us anything in regards to the supposed strength of america. What you should be looking at is debt.

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms israel is in a constant struggle to keep their land bcz of religious beliefs, Chad was overran by rogue citizens tht killed if u werent the right kind of african decent tht the government helped provoke into a full scale rebelion, france killed its rulers bcz they were straved nd let a maniac run the country after decapitating their king and queen. but u say america is the worst bcz a man had his house burned bcz some ppl respece their country. try tht in another countyr he'd die

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod

And don’t diminish anything he has endured just because he was not killed. He suffered terrorist threats for YEARS. Because he would not stand for the national anthem? And yes it was an act of terrorism against him. I will take the freedom (the real meaning of freedom). You keep the flag, the anthem, and the Bar-b-que.

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod

China owns 4 times the amount of government debt than it did JUST 10 or 11 years ago. 2000-2001 China owned only 6% of your debt. Now it holds 25 percent. A country like China is moving in and all you idiots are concerned with is things like the national anthem & Presidential birth certificates. Yes, Virginia your country is dying. The destruction of america will NOT come from bombs. It will be the erosion of your economy. And “surprisingly” it won’t be Rauf’s fault. Shocker, huh?

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms so let me get this straight..u think the chinese will invade america just bcz they can??? do u forget tht we're allies nd if they DO attack us a world war will probably start bcz of the domino effect like what happend in WWII? and hey retard, its not like the president took time out of his day to address rauf and tell him to stand lol. nd u must not be up on american economics bcz we've steadily gotten better. economists predict going at this rate we'll lose our debt w/in the decade

[drbayoms]

A world war if the U.S. is attacked? First off, China IS going to suck you dry, FROM THE INSIDE. There will be no need to attack you militarily. Do you understand what I am saying? Nope, you are too busy stocking up on charcoal for the Labor day weekend. Nobody is coming to the aid of america if China attacks you. The rest of the world truly does not care. “Freedom” means not having your property burned to the ground AS IF YOU WERE IN NAZI GERMANY. You made my point for me, dumbass.

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod

Just like in NAZI ERA Germany, you americans praise a symbols. And just like the animals of Hitler’s Nazi Germany, you assholes attack those who are not subservient to “american dogma“. Those who do not accept it’s Government’s sometimes imperialistic practices as simply “standard operating procedures necessary for the preservation of america”. The “at least we are not as bad as……..” thinking, gets a little old.

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms LOL! r u serious!!? EVERY COUNTRY HAS A FLAG THT THEY LOOK UP TO YOU RETARDED DIPSHIT! we dont praise our flag anymore than any other country. nd we never used mass genocide as a way to demonstrate out power to the world so no we're nothing like the nazi's. ur comparison even proves how desperate u r to make america look bad but actually u just made urself look like a dumbass. nd mid mahmoud get fired? sued? fined? no just harrassed.

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod

"nd we never used mass genocide as a way to demonstrate out power to the world so no we're nothing like the nazi's".

So what were Hiroshima and Nagasaki again?

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms a method used to win a world war!! did we do it bcz we thought our economic problems were due to the japanese? + we didnt just do it out of the blue, we gave a warning nd then waited something like 4 days for a response. their chiang kai-shek knew tht his ppl were in danger but he didnt care about tht so why put more of our soldiers into harms way when he knew exactly what he was getting into?

[motrcolt]

@drbayoms lmao what a dumbass

[drbayoms]

@WiltisGod

Your example of Israel, Nazi Era Germany, Iraq, etc, proves my point. What happened to him (IN AMERICA) as far as his career, his safety, his FREEDOM, is very much analogous to something that would happen (short of death mind you) in………NAZI ERA GERMANY, ISRAEL & IRAQ. What good is a flag or anthem when you don’t have the fortitude to live by the principles it is suppose to represent?

[WiltisGod]

@drbayoms im not sayin its right what happened to him, there r some idiots in america i know, but they dont make up the whole country u ignorant stereotyping ass hole! US govt can control what they do, not every dumbass in it. just bcz one group of ppl do something stupid doesnt mean the whole country is like tht. ppl tht think all muslims r suicide bombers nd think all africans r uneducated nd think all americans r hicks r just dumb ignorant fucks tht r the worst form of life. GO FUCK URSELF!!!

[mrphatfarm]

The best shooter i've ever seen !!!!!!!!! The NBA treated him foul and none of the players came to his defense.... publicly..I met him once in New Orleans he was visiting a friend who lived on Josephine st. ...real humble guy

[curtflirt2]

Yeah I kinda remember this dude but most for the Flag incident . After that, they just did their best to shove this dude down in the ground.

[manoragas]

Please give song name ;)

[Fo0dStamps]

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf is a proper christian name for a young lad. j/k

[RKEreal1]

gotta love Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

[DaniilOfAllTrades]

I agree, he's great, he played in Russia and we'll never forget him!!!!

[kadirayyy]

@DaniilOfAllTrades He played in Turkey, not Russia dude

[DaniilOfAllTrades]

@kadirayyy Yes, man, he did play in Turkey, but he also played in Russia, check out the seasons 2003–04 in Wiki or somewhere else.

The point is he played for our local basketball team that's why I know that for sure.

[kadirayyy]

@DaniilOfAllTrades Yes, you are right,

[mjj747]

Thanks! That was an excellent tribute to the greatest highschool and college player that I ever saw.

[dantrantheflyingman]

He reminds me of Ben Gordon but this guy is just more beastly

[boywonderca2000]

Thank you for this video. I saw Chris play when he was in h.s. in Mississippi, LSU and the NBA. He is by far the greatest player that no one has heard of. He's always calm. I am honored to see this.

[matthewmaloney1]

Great player - so good when in Denver! That team should have done more!

[killabbbbbbb]

Mahmoud Was One of the one guards that i ever seen, quick release, great passer, great speed....hard to find a guard like him now in the nba,only stephen curry comes close.......Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf Will all ways be remember

[Placesandspaces1]

I don't care if you call him Chris or Mahmoud. This dude was a stone cold assassin on the court. He had a crossover that would break your knees and could shoot off the dribble like no other! And to all you dick wads who disrespect him for his beliefs get a fucking clue. I am Catholic and I respect this man tremendously. "He without sin cast the first stone" No one should judge Mahmoud except God.

[daigodavid]

he's one of the greatest players. i'm happy that i can see him playing in my country.

[ngv80]

he is related to Micheal jackson

[nomopoly]

lol i love how there's music to the stupid video. i love how all you fucks coddle to this fucking muslim like, "oh poor baby muslim...he's so good and i respect him cuz he's different and blah blah blah." please shut the fuck up. muslims make up the largest or soon to be largest religion in the world. stop acting like they're some kind of minority victim. lol the ignorance from all you progressive/liberal fucks never seems to amaze me

[ebbohm]

@nomopoly Question. Did you decide to watch this video because you love basketball and wanted to see his highlights or did you just come to this video so you could write a comment like that? If you came on here just to watch the clip and then got so irritated by the "pro muslim" comments that you had to write a nasty name calling comment, that's pretty sad. But if you came here just to write a nasty comment in the first place, that's not sad. That's pathetic.

[nomopoly]

@ebbohm You're pathetic because you reply to an 8 month old post lol

[kpbernard]

@nomopoly Ignorant American. 

[destructoboy995]

He was a great player. He won't be remembered a lot, but he worked his but off. One of the most under rated players ever.

[kpbernard]

@destructoboy995 Not UNDER-rated. Just simply ignored and ultimately sabotaged by David Stern.

This guy was a genius with a basketball - good LORD!

[destructoboy995]

@kpbernard well, whatever it is, he deserved a better run in the NBA.

[soulbrother128]

@DOGSTAR986 the man wasnt retarded you embicile...he suffers from tourettes syndrome something that 200,000 ppl in america has!! the next time your ignorant ass tries to disrespect somebody know what youre talking about!

[dogstar986]

slut,bicth,cunt ass whore....I think I might have it:)

[dogstar986]

He sure did ,Do bad he was retarded:)

[rockysrevival]

If your gonna throw out an asinine comment like that you may wanna check your spelling and grammar first there, buddy.

Otherwise you come off as a bit.. retarded.

[dogstar986]

TO, TO, TO, RETArDED:)

[AbuKamran1]

The thing you gotta appreciate about him is that he made so many big shots and after every shot he would just run back and play D. He never pounded his chest, stare at the crowd, or talk trash like todays NBA superstars. He was phenomenal. Mashallah.

[Cottoncandy1998]

No one ever mentioned our God being better than yours. Stop acting like this. He/She stated something.

[fulanisoussou]

most underated player in history !!!!! Ramadan Mubarak Mahmoud!!!!!!

[m3eesh]

may allah bless him and protect him and his family and all muslims..RAMADAN KAREEM..RAMADAN MUBARAK..HAPPY RAMADAN AND MAY ALLAH ACCEPT OUR FAST,,,SALAAM O 3LYKUM :)

[hatch263]

What do you have to say about Sept. 11.

[mahmoud42dirk]

its nice to see Muslim player s i play just like Mahmoud and my name is Mahmoud and i am a muslim mashaallah

[hamzaahmed16]

He's raw I like 90's players more than present day.

[hamzaahmed16]

@hamzaahmed16 by the way he wasn't underrated, no one voted for him because he didn't stand up for the pledge and Americans didn't like that. Being on the all star has nothing to do with skill. Iverson was voted a all star starter his last year when he averaged 7 points a game.

[JJburkholder]

If the Nuggets had Mahmoud as their point guard right now against the Lakers, the Nuggets would sweep Kobe and advance to the finals.

[vinroch94]

Seriously, 1 of the top 5 guards that ever played...Never saw a better clutch player in college...He, Allan Houston and World Class Gerald Glass ran the SEC....

[maddballer1620]

bwooy wonder y America so divided anthem is a anthem understand freedom of speech but media don't understand that they just see ratings and dunno get the negative part of it negative is what sells

[327372]

Why did they hate him for being Muslim? Muhammad Ali the greatest boxer ever is Muslim, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the greatest center ever in NBA is Muslim. Why cant people overcome their prejudice?

[maddballer1620]

First of all when u don't stand for the anthem damm lucky if u walk out of the stadium alive ......worst of all u will be all over the media tarnish your name that is what happen to him

[327372]

Fuck the US anthem, I'm fukn surprised any black man would actually stand for that anthem...it represents white america only. What ever happened to freedom of speech? When Fox news uses it in disgusting ways, no one cares, but when a nigga does it the whole america is on his dick

[ChicagoBulls92]

Yup, along with Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer....some notable Muslim NBA Players:

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

Shareef Abdur-Rahim

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (NBA Scoring Leader)

Hakeem Olajuwon (NBA Blocks Leader)

[327372]

Muhammad Ali influenced so many people, he was truly the best. As a Muslim athlete myself i look up to these legends

[marknable]

I think in his mind he is thinking that he is playing for God, and that God will show His power and glory through him to humble the others.

[327372]

lol hes not a prophet, all he wanted was respect for his Muslim faith, but fukn america especially white america cant stand it when their best athletes choose the right path.

[justse2006]

?The "Right" Path? No, a different path. It's different, not better, not worse, just different. Stop acting as though your God is better than mine. That kind of arrogance is bad for everyone.

[AhmedM85]

he didn't say your God is better than his. In fact, your God is the same as my God, its the path you choose thats different and as a Muslim, I believe the path of Islam is the correct path. However, that doesn't mean that simply being a Muslim doesn't mean you're on the right path. A Muslim has to make an effort to be a better person in order to be on the right path.

[327372]

exactly!

[327372]

jesus is not god...just a prophet. think about it, how can a human be god?

[nomopoly]

@327372 muhammad was a child molester. come on think about it. stop rationalizing in your head.

[jermaineonealnumber7]

Saw him mostly with the Nugs though.

[jermaineonealnumber7]

I love this player, could dunk'em too.

Symptoms of La Tourette syndrom, man could he swish em.

[airjordaniv5]

We miss you in Denver!

[Aldon3]

the LSU team with him, Shaq and Stanley Roberts was unreal. Chris Jackson, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf whatever you wanted to call him, he was a BEAST

[nbafan5295]

hes the best shooting guard i ever seen

[cetewayo83]

Pound for pound the greatest scorer and shooter to live.

[joshlange1234]

amazing shooter with the quickest release ever to go with good ball handling skills. Struggled to adjust to the nba after being a star at college and then when he found his niche he struggled for consistency.A shame we didn't see him perform at his best and dominate like in college.

[teeoak]

one of the quickest release i have ever seen!

[titoartest]

the best shooter in the nba

[plostylzz]

please more mahmoud abdul-rauf!

[davidtibble7]

A true player, quite beautiful

[ruffrider2322]

my fav player GREAT ATTITUDE real calm ... What iv seen from the past and the present is how calm muslims are really intresting.

[slickone2222]

The Nazis stood up for what they believe so do you resect them?

[martnba]

Nice move on 2.21-2.27

[milanists]

rauf roseto ti ringrazia

[klipss]

[darryl1914]

Back in the day...1987 I went to a "FIVE-STAR" basketball capm in Pennsylvania and I played against Chris Jackson...I came back home (OHIO) and I told everybody in the "hood"...Watch out for this brotha'...His game is NICE!!! Still my favorite player.

[crunk721]

Love the music

[uligus]

YOU FUCKING MUSLIM BASTARD

[uligus]

YOU FUCKING MUSLIM BASTARD

[Suuperkool1615]

GREAT VIDEO, PEOPLE STICK TO BASKETBALL, RELIGION HAS NOTHING TO DO W/A BASKEYBALL CLIP.UNFORTUNATLY SOME JUST SHOW HOW IGNORANT THEY ARE. Mahmoud stood up for what he believed and could have made way more money by being quiet. GREAT RESPECT FROM ME.

[netscorcher25]

Which has nothing to do with basketball!

[CryLoud1]

Too bad he accepted the lie of islam.

[myshotunstoppable]

douch

[firaspokemon]

[cagriyaylaci]

we loved you Mahmoud Abdul Rauf(Turkey)

[gecesosyetesi]

thanks to abdul-rauf ! (turkey)

[jumpnam]

i got a lot of respect for this cat since i saw that "below the rim" nba tape bk in '95. he was an inspiration to me and my brother as we both have tourettes like he does. phenomenal balla.

[ooxxoohh]

That is so funny that you would tell me not to bomb your house !! The KKK burned his house down. Were you a part of that group ?

[ooxxoohh]

As in any religion, there are good and bad. Only GOD can judge. Do we call all white people fags because they stole Indians land and brought black people over here against there will, enslaved them ? Mahmoud is far from a Fagget !!!! He is one of the most real Brothers you would ever want to meet... I bet you are Catholic !!! Take a look in your backyard..

[BLukes11]

Jam, thank you...just major, major props for these 3 videos. Abdul-Rauf is an amazing ball player to watch, but more importantly an inspiration to me. Please upload more of Rauf.

[KB824EVA]

very amazin and can see where kobe's comin from

[jfs72music]

I went to school with Mahmoud AKA Chris Jackson at Gulfport High School. Talented player!

[Tmacjordan123]

[antonellouki]

it was just my imagination...

[Tmacjordan123]

man i wish i could have seen that game in real life

[peace4alll]

brother Mahmoud; you are the BEST!!

Cant stand racist people!

[Tmacjordan123]

good animation...

lol

[trachembrod]

some people are just born to be prejudice as a disease. only cure is sharing experiences and education with other societies, religions, etc.

who knows maybe someone you are racist against may save your life someday...and maybe again they won't.

other societies.

[tasfiqullah1]

Shut the fuck up. I'm muslim and I'm not a terrorist. U guys r idodict homesexuels. Rascists. I call u a fuukin coward u fukin american. I can't believe theres still prejiduce. and shut ur yap about binladin. Any who.... Mahmoud is a great shooter! Ahh the gud old times

[peace4alll]

GOT UR BACK BRO!!

[damnit714]

fuck that benladin fagget

[scottryersonups]

what you said about mahmoud abdual-ruaf was incredibly offensive, you should be ashamed of yourself, all middle-eastern people arent terrorists, but most of them are heartless and twisted fuckin cowards, so now that i look at your comment, I commend you for speaking the truth. lol

[ooxxoohh]

I call people like you, IDIOTS !!! What makes you say that Middle Eastern people are heartless and cowards ?? Mahmoud is not from the Middle East, He is from Mississippi anyway. Do you say that all White People are Twisted Fuckin Cowards because you took Indians land from them, brought blacks here against there will and enslaved them ?? Does this mean that all whites are the same ?? Get a life and grow up !!!

[uthetargetnow]

ok but please don't bomb my house you CAMEL JOCKEY. . . RAG-HEAD. . . SAND-NIGGER fuckin' TERRORIST HOMOSEXUAL COWARD

[jarpedna]

[sssahmed]

u son of a gun...shut ur mouth what does bin laden have to do with every muslim alive man?

[ooxxoohh]

Do you say fuck all Catholics because some Priests mess with little boys. Bet you are Catholic !!! Just because Mahmoud is Muslim doesn't mean that he condones everything that all Muslims do. As in any religion, there are good and bad. And just for the record, Mahmoud is far from being a FAG !!!!

[savos83]

Still playing Aris B.C (Greece)

[amoney510]

is mahmoud still playing?

[cdl0987]

Does anyone else have a video on Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf? He is my all time favorite basketball player.

[roncorkern]

[geosu]

Thanks for the videos! They are really amazing and I am very proud that Abdul-Rauf is playing for Aris Salonika at the moment!

[FenerbahceFotoCom]

Thank you oo00jam00oo, for all of three excellent videos.

We miss Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf...

[mikethetiger]

This video makes me really miss Chris Jackson.
