His shot was so sweet. And he had that leaning OG midrange jumper that guys in the nba dont have today. Also an NBA champ if I'm not mistaken. Guy is very underrated.
He was pre Curry & Iverson. If he hadn’t been blackballed by the NBA for standing up for what he believes in, definitely would’ve been a hall of fame player.
@@nazgul12000 I disagree he was AI without the braids&crossover he was blackballed because of his religious beliefs he refused to salute the American flag.
Mr. Dog, So you understand Iverson was a shooting guard in a point guards body, he has even said this in interviews. Both MAR and AI where great in their respective playing time and positions, just the NBA owners (majority Jewish), commissioner Stern, rip, (Jewish) and the superficial American flag patriotic rhetoric didn’t allow him the chance to prosper into the great player he would’ve been. When you take a stand for what you believe in you have to face the consequences like a man and Mahmoud Abdul Rauf did so graciously after they took away from him what he worked so hard to attain. Facts.
I remember him talking about how his Tourette's helped make him a better free throw shooter. When practicing, his free throw shot had to feel right, and even if he was making them, if it didn't feel right, he had to keep shooting. I may misremember a bit, but it was something along those lines.
@@clarktownsend8991 Cool. I remember he had to tie and retie his shoes constantly until it felt right as well. I've always been a Bulls fan but was a fan of his as well. I was a fan of all 3 points shooters, as I had a similar game. Him getting blackballed was appalling.

The big what if, was Mcdyess knee injury. He was going to be a Kemp clone by the way he was tracking early. They went deep in the playoffs in like 94? They were really emerging at the time.
Abdul-Rauf never consistently lit up Jordan's Bulls. The few games he went off are the exception, not the rule. Here are all of his games against the 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, and 1997 Bulls. *1990/91* 6-1-2 on 3/9 (33%) - Lost by 6 8-0-5 on 4/15 (27%) - Lost by 13 *1991/92* 8-2-1 on 3/9 (33%) - Lost by 7 13-4-3 on 6/13 (46%) - Lost by 13 *1992/93* 4-1-4 on 2/9 (22%) - Lost by 33 9-5-8 on 4/15 (27%) - Won by 7 *1995/96* 32-4-9 on 13/27 (48%) - Won by 6 19-0-2 on 8/15 (53%) - Lost by 21 *1996/97* 19-2-6 on 9/15 (60%) - Lost by 18 26-0-4 on 10/17 (59%) - Lost by 18 Jordan shut down Mitch Richmond to 4 points on 1/14 FG in Abdul-Rauf's 26-point game. Abdul-Rauf played limited games and minutes in 1997/98, so I won't include the one game in which he played against the 1998 Bulls. In his final 3 games of 19, 19, and 26 points, he was blown out by 21, 18, and 18. He only had one huge 32-point game against Jordan's Bulls and people mistakenly claim that he always lit up Jordan.
Saw him play in one of the best un-televised games in college basketball history. During the 88-89 season LSU at Ole Miss. Gerald Glass had over 50 for Ole Miss and Chris Jackson had over 50 for LSU. Ole Miss won in OT, but Jackson's shots were so smooth and confident, that it seemed like as soon as the ball left his hands, he would turn to go back down court because he knew the shoot would fall.
@Manuel Mahdi - Curry would fried the ACC and other Big D1 schools during his time at Davidson..... Just because you didnt go to a big D1 school doesnt mean you cant play. Again, i was a fan of chris jackson thats my dude, but I cant discount curry cause hes a beast as well.... Do my research, lol... I was there, its my era.... you probably watching reruns and youtube!
@Manuel Mahdi - EDUCATE YOURSELF, ITS NOT COOL BEING IGNORANT WITH ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION AT YOUR FINGER TIPS stephencurry.weebly.com/college-career.html
How do you leave out the fact he was benched and then blacklisted from playing because he's Muslim? It's the only reason he's not a Hall Of Fame player.
LeRoi Robinson-Grant I did watch the video. And why ask the question if you already know the answer? But I was trying to say that there are plenty of videos on that topic if that’s what you want to hear about.
@@ToxicBottledOstrichNostrils then you don't understand nor comprehend the question that i asked. If i knew the answer to someone else's motives, then there is no need to ask. To assume that false statements are valid is not in my nature. To say he wasn't good is a false statement. To give any reason besides what factually happened, as i was around to see it play out on tv, is a disservice to everyone. I never asked you for your input since didn't post it to know.
LeRoi Robinson-Grant I’m sorry to bother you with my input on a public platform. I happen to agree with you that he’s overlooked and did get blackballed. But it was his opinion and you didn’t need to ask the question because he told us why he didn’t talk about it. Right or wrong in our opinions. I wasn’t trying to be an asshole or insult your intelligence if that’s how you took it
Thanks so much for posting this! As a Nuggets fan, this was one of best shooters I ever saw. He was Steph Curry before Steph, during time when Dell Curry was himself an elite shooter.
Do you guys know this man is the all time leader in free throw percentage until the NBA bumped up the number of free throw attempts needed to be in the books.
Mr Gordon most under rated skill in the game. In a big guy I was shaq level of free throw shooter. I sucked. I would,have done better granny shooting, once a team figured out I couldn't shoot fromt he line I got beat on lol but once I learned how my ppg doubled from just foul shots alone
I seen him play back in the 90's great player, i would watch the nuggets back than cause of his great shots selection, when this guy caught fire, it was a joy to see it, even I'm not a nuggets fan!!!!!
Holy crap...this game is my favorite childhood memory! I was at this game with my 5th grade basketball team celebrating a undefeated season. Our seats were in front of the Bulls VP or someone high in the organization who started chatting with our coach ( my pops) and at half time he came back with clip on passes and told us to go with the usher after the game. We got to meet, get autographs and pics. Still have a lot of the pics from that game framed on my walls along with other signed stuff in the man cave. Our point guard and center got Jordan shoe each those lucky bastards
Man I loved that era of the Nuggets with Abdul-Rauf, McDyss and Mutombo. Win or lose that team was fun to watch and the first local team I remember taking pride in.
You should make a video on Tom Chambers. I know when he retired he was the 15th greatest scorer of all time. And I think he's still around 20, yet not in the hall of fame. Quintessential athletic/ shooting big. Dirk about 15-20 years before him
YEAH . HE WAS WAY BETTER THAN DIRK . TOM. CHAMBERS. IS. UNDERRATED . HE. SCORED. EFFICIENTLY ,. REBOUND AND. PLAYED. DEFENSE . HE WAS. A BEAST. AND SHOULD BE. IN THE HALL OF FAME . >🎤
Tom Chambers was way more athletic than Dirk, he was more like Blake Griffin in that regard. But him on the wing and KJ pushing it was scary just ask Mark Jackson
The state of Mississippi wanted him to go to college at home and tried to keep him from going to Nike camp. Those people did all kinds of dirty shxt. But he found out. He made his stand and went to that camp and did it his was. Shout out to the legend. We are proud of you.💪
This was such a rare talent! I wish the NBA would not have treated him the way they did. Hall of famer and all sorts of records would have been set by him!
Mahmoud Abdul Rauf was no joke. There was a reason he could score 55 points at will during his college years. He’s one of the most talented players I ever saw. That class of 1988 was ridiculously good, but the most talented guards to come out that year were Rauf (fka, “Chris Jackson”), and Terrell Brandon.
@Nintariz your vision must be as bad as your hearing. Did the clip not mention Mahmoud had a hard time adjusting to the NBA?!?! Once he made the adjustment per the video MJ didn't want any of that smoke, per him put Kerr on him after the first half! I know you MJ fans boy's are delusional but open those eyes. MJ wasn't shutting down no great shooter or athletic guard. He stuck to the Craig Elos and Kerry Kittles of the world!!!
@@eamorrison859 OR they just didn't give a damn about that game! They were the reigning champions on the way to another! It's a bitch when you have to celebrate the little victories because your team isn't good enough to get you to the show! Tell me how he torched MJ and the Bulls on the way to winning a championship over them (or even just getting there and playing them tough)! Do that and you've done something! If not, then you are always a bridesmaid, but never the bride (Cleveland, NY, Indiana, Utah, etc.)!
Stephen Smith He was the original LINDSEY HUNTER another Mississippi Native who attended Jackson St then became a LOTTERY PICK IN '93 BY THE PISTONS HE WAS BEING CALLED THE ISIAH THOMAS of the '90s
Thanks for uploading this. When you have an obsessive passion along with an amazing work ethic, you can do anything. And that’s what Rauf did against Jordan. His competition with himself, was harder than any human on the planet. Watch his story
Team vs team matchups: MJ: 35ppg, 55%fg Rauf: 14ppg, 43%fg This game was the only game Abdul-Rauf EVER won against the MJ bulls and Jordan had 39. Stop it.
bc1969214 That was a lot of sarcasm. This one didn’t seem like it was trying to be sarcastic. MA-R was a really good player. But at some point their are a lot of guards who had one or two good games against the Bulls/Jordan. It’s the NBA. Reggie Miller actually out dueled him a couple times. But they all got destroyed 90% of the time.
Man you're talking about one of my favorite players of the90's now!!!! I'd love to see a video with him if possible!!! Thanks for making the video's!!!!!
Chris Jackson was the real deal - one of the best shooters and scores ever in College. He was awesome to watch cause no body could really stop him. thanks for the video!
The NBA robbed Mahmoud of what could have been a very long and successful career. It’s insane that he’s not working as a shooting coach for any of the nba teams today. Also, he’s from my hometown of Gulfport,Ms!!! 💪🏾

Abdul made porridge out out of Steve Kerr...Jordan took over and still Abdul made porridge out of him...the entire Bulls team was by bamboozled by Abdul...
Steve Kerr was maximal Mediocre as player in NBA dimensions. Rauf was way above him. There's a reason why the bulls later used A SG type Ron Harper instead of him.
I'll never forget that game the bulls were down buy like 30 in that game came back and took the lead but they spent a lot of energy on the defensive to come back and were tired down the stretch great game that was
I really like your channel. I have enjoyed the vids that I have seen so far. The content is very good and very interesting, great job with your presentation. Keep up the good work.
First and foremost I have had two good friends meet him before and both said he was the nicest guy you would ever want to talk to. Skills were on a different level. He could be into his shot and be releasing the ball quicker than guys could get their hands up to try and block it. Tricky dribbles and could put guys in the trick bag at any given moment. Saw him play a few times in person. Scintillating. If he had better coaching in the pros he could have been an HOFer no doubt. But with Isabel, Westhead,, and St. Jean as his coaches it is very hard to thrive under that kind of leadership.
They play opposition basketball. They antagonize you. If you concentrate on playing and flowing through, Jackson's teams crumble. Like the 2004 Lakers vs the Pistons.
@@dwightlove3704 and I thought about him but he did not play in the league. He only got drafted. If the Celtics get him, they win a couple more titles in the 80s and probably prevent the Pistons from winning their two titles, the Lakers from their titles in the decade, and the Bulls from winning their first three-peat.
@@joenicedj Yes he obviously had talent he would have been the only rival for Jordan in his early years.Bias and Lewis would have been what Jordan and Pippen are now a great NBA duo. Boston might have those 6 NBA titles on their resume. And I would have loved to see Bias against Magic Johnson.
@@dwightlove3704 I completely agree. Then again, the Celtics might not have gotten Lewis because they would have been winning titles, therefore their draft pick would not have been high enough to get Reggie Lewis.
Thank you for this video. Abdul-Rauf was one of my favorite shooters when he played for the Sacramento Kings. He never became as big as he should've because of his religion. It's unfortunate but that's the NBA for you. Not all of the great players get marketed properly.
So much for the MYTH that MJ always guarded the best player the entire game. His butt was getting cooked so the Bull choose to have Steve Kerr get embarrassed trying to "guard" Abdul Mahmoud Rauf, so he wouldn't embarrass Jordan. It's a shame how they Blackballed that man, his game was FIRE!
@@killacam8899 Because the coach is SMART and that's EXACTLY my point. There is a narrative promulgated by sports journalist and people my age that Jordan CONSISTANTLY guarded the TOP opposing players for 48 minutes and that simply isn't true. I'm not saying he NEVER guarded top offensive players, but PIPPEN was the one who had to switch to WHOEVER was hot 1-5 and D them up all while initiating the offense and scoring. Let MJ have to guard Rip Hamilton, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, etc. all game and lead the team in scoring, rebounds and assists. It doesn't diminish the legacies of the legendary players of the past like MJ, by acknowledging that some of these young cats of this ERA would bring SMOKE in HIS era.
@salsgersgirl you’re exactly right. I grew up watching Mike and the propaganda media continue to spew false stories about Mike guarding the top dogs. If Kerr was getting his ass busted that bad, Mike is supposed to tell Phil that he wants yo guard him. Mike played off ball a lot. Mike was special but people gotta stop listening to the bias media whos predominantly people in the 60’s.. Mike had trouble with bigger guards and did not watch the best players. There are many players like Bernard King who dropped over 40 on the bulls while scoring on Mike and the had to take Mike off of him. Again, its a team game but the media will have you believe Mike scored all the points, grabbed all the boards and checked the top dog full court. Mike always got his but the main dudes, Pip and Harp took the assignments
Basketball is all about matchups on both ends. I can confirm that pippen was the defence genius cuze I watched most of the Bulls Games in this time on TV. This overall type of player, like Pippen , Marion, Ron Harper etc In history are always underrated and came up short in All-star/All Nba/DefensivTeam etc
Everybody gets their turn.. even in the doc you could see you can never win every games.. the thing is knowing MJ he's gonna make sure he's gonna get you back.. I can't say the same on today's players.. for them it's just a game..
I can't tell you how bummed out I was when Mahmoud left the league!!! He was one of my favorite players. He was a great loss. Thanks Mahmoud!!!! At least I got to see you see play one time in person in an exhibition games vs the Phoenix Suns.

Abdul-Rauf never consistently lit up Jordan's Bulls. The few games he went off are the exception, not the rule. Here are all of his games against the 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, and 1997 Bulls.
*1990/91*
6-1-2 on 3/9 (33%) - Lost by 6
8-0-5 on 4/15 (27%) - Lost by 13
*1991/92*
8-2-1 on 3/9 (33%) - Lost by 7
13-4-3 on 6/13 (46%) - Lost by 13
*1992/93*
4-1-4 on 2/9 (22%) - Lost by 33
9-5-8 on 4/15 (27%) - Won by 7
*1995/96*
32-4-9 on 13/27 (48%) - Won by 6
19-0-2 on 8/15 (53%) - Lost by 21
*1996/97*
19-2-6 on 9/15 (60%) - Lost by 18
26-0-4 on 10/17 (59%) - Lost by 18
Jordan shut down Mitch Richmond to 4 points on 1/14 FG in Abdul-Rauf's 26-point game.
Abdul-Rauf played limited games and minutes in 1997/98, so I won't include the one game in which he played against the 1998 Bulls.
In his final 3 games of 19, 19, and 26 points, he was blown out by 21, 18, and 18. He only had one huge 32-point game against Jordan's Bulls and people mistakenly claim that he always lit up Jordan.
Saw him play in one of the best un-televised games in college basketball history. During the 88-89 season LSU at Ole Miss. Gerald Glass had over 50 for Ole Miss and Chris Jackson had over 50 for LSU. Ole Miss won in OT, but Jackson's shots were so smooth and confident, that it seemed like as soon as the ball left his hands, he would turn to go back down court because he knew the shoot would fall.
Similarity with curry:
Great ball handling
Three point masters
Same struckture
Both are religious
Yeah but Mahmoud had a 40 inch vertical while Curry can barely dunk on a good night
ADD discipline!
@Manuel Mahdi Steph aint no damn just ok,.... kill that.... I love both of their games but chris wasnt shooting as deep as steph
@Manuel Mahdi - Curry would fried the ACC and other Big D1 schools during his time at Davidson..... Just because you didnt go to a big D1 school doesnt mean you cant play. Again, i was a fan of chris jackson thats my dude, but I cant discount curry cause hes a beast as well.... Do my research, lol... I was there, its my era.... you probably watching reruns and youtube!
@Manuel Mahdi - EDUCATE YOURSELF, ITS NOT COOL BEING IGNORANT WITH ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION AT YOUR FINGER TIPS

How do you leave out the fact he was benched and then blacklisted from playing because he's Muslim? It's the only reason he's not a Hall Of Fame player.
Probably because there’s tons of videos talking about that
@@ToxicBottledOstrichNostrils you might want to actually watch the video because he gave a different reason for why, "he wasn't really that good."
LeRoi Robinson-Grant I did watch the video. And why ask the question if you already know the answer? But I was trying to say that there are plenty of videos on that topic if that’s what you want to hear about.
@@ToxicBottledOstrichNostrils then you don't understand nor comprehend the question that i asked. If i knew the answer to someone else's motives, then there is no need to ask. To assume that false statements are valid is not in my nature. To say he wasn't good is a false statement. To give any reason besides what factually happened, as i was around to see it play out on tv, is a disservice to everyone. I never asked you for your input since didn't post it to know.
LeRoi Robinson-Grant I’m sorry to bother you with my input on a public platform. I happen to agree with you that he’s overlooked and did get blackballed. But it was his opinion and you didn’t need to ask the question because he told us why he didn’t talk about it. Right or wrong in our opinions. I wasn’t trying to be an asshole or insult your intelligence if that’s how you took it
Thanks so much for posting this! As a Nuggets fan, this was one of best shooters I ever saw. He was Steph Curry before Steph, during time when Dell Curry was himself an elite shooter.
Do you guys know this man is the all time leader in free throw percentage until the NBA bumped up the number of free throw attempts needed to be in the books.
Mr Gordon most under rated skill in the game. In a big guy I was shaq level of free throw shooter. I sucked. I would,have done better granny shooting, once a team figured out I couldn't shoot fromt he line I got beat on lol but once I learned how my ppg doubled from just foul shots alone
They destroyed his career because he was a god fearing man
Islam is a lie.
@@jeffyelton5346 Christianity is the BIGGEST LIE
He was a Muslim, not a Christian.
@@jaywells9092 Keep telling yourself that, and see where you go when you die.
@@coachcarter8238 rather a Muslim or Christin it's only one god and that's the most high
Mahmoud is who Steph Curry resembles on the court with their style of play!
Fearless Felon that’s exactly what Phil Jackson said about Steph , but people took it as a slight... 🤷🏾♂️
Mahmoud was a monster. Saw hi, drop 50 pets in HS. His vert and quickness we’re well beyond Curry. With Today’s style of Play he would be a Super Star
@@mtsdivine agree tougher nba back then
@@petet-rex5589 toi mean légende
Not even close Mahmoud was a true all around great basketball player. Curry is basically a great shooter.
Being your own man, and not conforming, will get you blackballed from any society very quickly. Dude was a beast
But he should have kept his religion to himself. It’s your religion and not mine. My point is he violated his employers and shit happens
@@ivorysteele kind of like a opinion/comment
Yup!
Mississippi Legend... Chris Jackson
King Without a Crown He was the original LINDSEY HUNTER both are from Mississippi
People talk about Curry’s and Dame Lillard’s range...shoot CJ was literally a threat past half court.
I seen him play back in the 90's great player, i would watch the nuggets back than cause of his great shots selection, when this guy caught fire, it was a joy to see it, even I'm not a nuggets fan!!!!!
Why is that stupid music playing while chris is trying to talk. Whoever made that editing decision is ultimately STUPID.
@@williambundy220 and your so fukin intelligent....STFU....if you don't like don't watch it all...problem solved
Rauf! Damm shame how the league did Chris Jackson.
Raouf was a genius with the ball. Pure genius. Unfortunate how things went down for him. But his legend is secure.
Holy crap...this game is my favorite childhood memory! I was at this game with my 5th grade basketball team celebrating a undefeated season. Our seats were in front of the Bulls VP or someone high in the organization who started chatting with our coach ( my pops) and at half time he came back with clip on passes and told us to go with the usher after the game. We got to meet, get autographs and pics. Still have a lot of the pics from that game framed on my walls along with other signed stuff in the man cave.
Our point guard and center got Jordan shoe each those lucky bastards
His game ushered the Modern NBA. He was a joy to watch.
He was the best college player I've ever seen, pretty much unstoppable. Good to see you do a vid on him!
I became a Bulls fan because of Jordan, and an LSU fan because of Jackson. These 2 are the reasons I started watching NBA/NCAA.
Man I loved that era of the Nuggets with Abdul-Rauf, McDyss and Mutombo. Win or lose that team was fun to watch and the first local team I remember taking pride in.
I love Rauf more than Steph, although he didn't had crazy range but dude was quick on the foot, and he could post up and dunk!
Are u crazy...he definitely had crazy range
You should make a video on Tom Chambers. I know when he retired he was the 15th greatest scorer of all time. And I think he's still around 20, yet not in the hall of fame. Quintessential athletic/ shooting big. Dirk about 15-20 years before him
Who will dunk on you in a heartbeat! #AskMarkJackson
@@malikabdulaziz73 yes..that dunk is worthy of a top 10 position on the all time NBA dunks!
YEAH . HE WAS WAY BETTER THAN DIRK . TOM. CHAMBERS. IS. UNDERRATED . HE. SCORED. EFFICIENTLY ,. REBOUND AND. PLAYED. DEFENSE . HE WAS. A BEAST. AND SHOULD BE. IN THE HALL OF FAME . >🎤
Damn da basketball talk your name is LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom Chambers was way more athletic than Dirk, he was more like Blake Griffin in that regard. But him on the wing and KJ pushing it was scary just ask Mark Jackson
Thank you for doing Mahmoud🥰💕
One of the most underrated players of all-time💯. Steph before Steph.
No He Wasn't. Career 28% From Behind The Arc
The state of Mississippi wanted him to go to college at home and tried to keep him from going to Nike camp. Those people did all kinds of dirty shxt. But he found out. He made his stand and went to that camp and did it his was. Shout out to the legend. We are proud of you.💪
This was such a rare talent! I wish the NBA would not have treated him the way they did. Hall of famer and all sorts of records would have been set by him!
Mahmoud Abdul Rauf was no joke. There was a reason he could score 55 points at will during his college years. He’s one of the most talented players I ever saw. That class of 1988 was ridiculously good, but the most talented guards to come out that year were Rauf (fka, “Chris Jackson”), and Terrell Brandon.
Notice how once Mahmoud started cooking MJ didn't want to guard him anymore. Let Kerr get him! I've always admired Mahmoud's game!
Notice how every play they put Jordan & pick & roll...It’s not like he was cooking Jordan one on one but he was a monster
@Nintariz your vision must be as bad as your hearing. Did the clip not mention Mahmoud had a hard time adjusting to the NBA?!?! Once he made the adjustment per the video MJ didn't want any of that smoke, per him put Kerr on him after the first half! I know you MJ fans boy's are delusional but open those eyes. MJ wasn't shutting down no great shooter or athletic guard. He stuck to the Craig Elos and Kerry Kittles of the world!!!
@Nintariz I just as bad as your hearing and vision. You might want to get that checked.
@@eamorrison859 OR they just didn't give a damn about that game! They were the reigning champions on the way to another! It's a bitch when you have to celebrate the little victories because your team isn't good enough to get you to the show! Tell me how he torched MJ and the Bulls on the way to winning a championship over them (or even just getting there and playing them tough)! Do that and you've done something! If not, then you are always a bridesmaid, but never the bride (Cleveland, NY, Indiana, Utah, etc.)!
That being said though, Mahmoud was nothing but the truth!
Great video! Your work is amazing.
Chris Jackson is one of the biggest NBA sleepers! He would be in HOF if it wasn’t for politics! Oh and stand up Mississippi!!!
Fact! Man been a problem
Stephen Smith He was the original LINDSEY HUNTER another Mississippi Native who attended Jackson St then became a LOTTERY PICK IN '93 BY THE PISTONS HE WAS BEING CALLED THE ISIAH THOMAS of the '90s
HOF? Stop
662 YESSIR!!!!
Mississippi til we die!!!
Elegant. Praise worthy. Merciful. And kind.
So underrated overall as a great player. A. I like movement & quickness with curry like sniper accuracy.
Curry is gay!
He was made for today's game. He would have been a top player in how the game is played now.
@@scottyc3893 could have been Curry's nightmare today
His career 3pt per is the same as LeBrons. Not quite "curry like sniper accuracy"
Great video my friend. He was awesome to watch back n the 90s
Great Video, a forgotten great player that was blackballed cause he was a muslim and stood up for his beliefs.
Thanks for uploading this. When you have an obsessive passion along with an amazing work ethic, you can do anything. And that’s what Rauf did against Jordan. His competition with himself, was harder than any human on the planet. Watch his story
Team vs team matchups:
MJ: 35ppg, 55%fg
Rauf: 14ppg, 43%fg
This game was the only game Abdul-Rauf EVER won against the MJ bulls and Jordan had 39.
Stop it.
Facts.
True
I think this one is along the lines of the video at Jordan's camp where the CEO John Rogers got lucky one day against MJ.
bc1969214
That was a lot of sarcasm. This one didn’t seem like it was trying to be sarcastic. MA-R was a really good player. But at some point their are a lot of guards who had one or two good games against the Bulls/Jordan. It’s the NBA. Reggie Miller actually out dueled him a couple times. But they all got destroyed 90% of the time.
He averaged that same 14 his entire career
Man you're talking about one of my favorite players of the90's now!!!! I'd love to see a video with him if possible!!! Thanks for making the video's!!!!!
I was lucky enough to see chris jackson play at LSU along with Shaq when I was a kid, he was unbelievable .
Same here.
Thank you for posting this.
I see high pick n roll every play...he was 🔥 I remember this game like yesterday MJ had 39 and almost nearly won the game by himself
Facts
Chris Jackson was the real deal - one of the best shooters and scores ever in College. He was awesome to watch cause no body could really stop him. thanks for the video!
The NBA robbed Mahmoud of what could have been a very long and successful career. It’s insane that he’s not working as a shooting coach for any of the nba teams today. Also, he’s from my hometown of Gulfport,Ms!!! 💪🏾
This story had to be told, in case folks forgot. Before Kaepernick took a knee Abdul Rauf made the sacrifice for everyone else. He's a GOAT fa sho.
Only BITCHES are on their knees......how else can they give a great bj😝🤣🤣

I LOVED Chris Jackson when he was at LSU. He was basically unguard-able.
Didn't know he went to LSU. Was he almost as good as Pistol Pete?
@@bakgammon he was way better
@@ousmanekonate5253 idk about all that lol
Strange though how him and shaq never made it to the final four
That’s not his name.
The most exciting college basketball player ever nuff said period
Abdul made porridge out out of Steve Kerr...Jordan took over and still Abdul made porridge out of him...the entire Bulls team was by bamboozled by Abdul...
Steve Kerr was maximal Mediocre as player in NBA dimensions. Rauf was way above him. There's a reason why the bulls later used A SG type Ron Harper instead of him.
I like how he left out how the nuggets blew a 31 point led in this game.
Love how you correctly pronounce his name. As always incredible video, keep up the good work!
Hey BTM!!! My man, PLEASE TEACH these young cats about the GREATNESS of Stormin' Norman Nixon!!!
I'll never forget that game the bulls were down buy like 30 in that game came back and took the lead but they spent a lot of energy on the defensive to come back and were tired down the stretch great game that was
I remember this game. The crowd was yelling Rauf there it is!!
blkdank1 cool!!!
I remember on Sportcenter one anchor would say, "Rauf, Rauf, Rauf is on fire..."
I really like your channel. I have enjoyed the vids that I have seen so far. The content is very good and very interesting, great job with your presentation. Keep up the good work.
if u never got 2 see him play...he was the... absolute truth..unstoppable....especially at LSU.....he was the best i ever seen play at his size....
First and foremost I have had two good friends meet him before and both said he was the nicest guy you would ever want to talk to. Skills were on a different level. He could be into his shot and be releasing the ball quicker than guys could get their hands up to try and block it. Tricky dribbles and could put guys in the trick bag at any given moment. Saw him play a few times in person. Scintillating. If he had better coaching in the pros he could have been an HOFer no doubt. But with Isabel, Westhead,, and St. Jean as his coaches it is very hard to thrive under that kind of leadership.
research game leveled UP! :) congrats bro! great grind-work of yours
It seems that Phil Jackson's teams have a weakness for quick small guards.
They play opposition basketball. They antagonize you. If you concentrate on playing and flowing through, Jackson's teams crumble. Like the 2004 Lakers vs the Pistons.
The NBA has no answer for quick, skilled "undersized" players. They can get to their spot anytime they want!
@@Mario_N64 opposition basketball?
Love this video! He was really a problem! One of the most underrated of the golden era
He, Reggie Lewis, and Brandon Roy.
These are the greatest what if guys in the league.
Another what-if guy: Drazen Petrovic. He could do every Abdul-Rauf did.
@@joenicedj Add Len Bias
@@dwightlove3704 and I thought about him but he did not play in the league. He only got drafted. If the Celtics get him, they win a couple more titles in the 80s and probably prevent the Pistons from winning their two titles, the Lakers from their titles in the decade, and the Bulls from winning their first three-peat.
@@joenicedj Yes he obviously had talent he would have been the only rival for Jordan in his early years.Bias and Lewis would have been what Jordan and Pippen are now a great NBA duo. Boston might have those 6 NBA titles on their resume. And I would have loved to see Bias against Magic Johnson.
@@dwightlove3704 I completely agree. Then again, the Celtics might not have gotten Lewis because they would have been winning titles, therefore their draft pick would not have been high enough to get Reggie Lewis.
Awesome show room in the backround bro. Love yo Vids Keep it up, Stay Safe.
Thank you for this video. Abdul-Rauf was one of my favorite shooters when he played for the Sacramento Kings. He never became as big as he should've because of his religion. It's unfortunate but that's the NBA for you. Not all of the great players get marketed properly.
Another excellent video Sean, thanks !
I notice at the 8:38...you cut the part off where Jordan was telling Phil"let me guard him"...lol...
After Kerr got lit up they put Ron Harper on him
Didn’t matter, he lit Jordan’s ass up that night too.
@@farrellcityking1 - Thanks to a ton of screens from Denver's big men. Not like he ISO'd vs MJ.
He can ball but this video had me thinking he was torching jordan a🤣🤣🤣
That means it was a well-made video.
Best basketball player out of Mississippi
I loved watching him play , for a while he had the most 40 plus point games in a row .
So much for the MYTH that MJ always guarded the best player the entire game. His butt was getting cooked so the Bull choose to have Steve Kerr get embarrassed trying to "guard" Abdul Mahmoud Rauf, so he wouldn't embarrass Jordan. It's a shame how they Blackballed that man, his game was FIRE!
SalGersGirl Why would a coach let MJ get caught up guarding a bunch of ball screens? None!! ZERO!! That’ll wear him down. Need him to score.
@@killacam8899 Because the coach is SMART and that's EXACTLY my point. There is a narrative promulgated by sports journalist and people my age that Jordan CONSISTANTLY guarded the TOP opposing players for 48 minutes and that simply isn't true. I'm not saying he NEVER guarded top offensive players, but PIPPEN was the one who had to switch to WHOEVER was hot 1-5 and D them up all while initiating the offense and scoring. Let MJ have to guard Rip Hamilton, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, etc. all game and lead the team in scoring, rebounds and assists. It doesn't diminish the legacies of the legendary players of the past like MJ, by acknowledging that some of these young cats of this ERA would bring SMOKE in HIS era.
@salsgersgirl
you’re exactly right. I grew up watching Mike and the propaganda media continue to spew false stories about Mike guarding the top dogs. If Kerr was getting his ass busted that bad, Mike is supposed to tell Phil that he wants yo guard him. Mike played off ball a lot. Mike was special but people gotta stop listening to the bias media whos predominantly people in the 60’s.. Mike had trouble with bigger guards and did not watch the best players. There are many players like Bernard King who dropped over 40 on the bulls while scoring on Mike and the had to take Mike off of him. Again, its a team game but the media will have you believe Mike scored all the points, grabbed all the boards and checked the top dog full court. Mike always got his but the main dudes, Pip and Harp took the assignments
Basketball is all about matchups on both ends.
I can confirm that pippen was the defence genius cuze I watched most of the Bulls Games in this time on TV.
This overall type of player, like Pippen , Marion, Ron Harper etc In history are always underrated and came up short in All-star/All Nba/DefensivTeam etc
Everybody gets their turn.. even in the doc you could see you can never win every games.. the thing is knowing MJ he's gonna make sure he's gonna get you back.. I can't say the same on today's players.. for them it's just a game..
LOL you know Jordan was salty when he started cooking, especially in the beginning when he was guarding him.
Who drops 50 in there 3rd ever college game? That guy....
@5:18- Yeah... Mikey took that PERSONAL.
😅😅😅
He gave Steve Kerr that work ha!
“Jordan always guarded the best man on the floor”
He was a true superstar indeed, however I agree politics ruined his career
Ruined
Lol seeing him speak at the podium makes me think......MAN THIS GIYS IS STILL quick as lightning
He’s doing his thing in the BIG 3 !!
I went to school with him in Gulfport High School. Great Player and always kind.
I can't tell you how bummed out I was when Mahmoud left the league!!! He was one of my favorite players. He was a great loss. Thanks Mahmoud!!!! At least I got to see you see play one time in person in an exhibition games vs the Phoenix Suns.
One of the best videos I’ve ever watched.
What about the game when he played against Kenny Anderson back in college that game was crazy
