I'm from Gulfport Mississippi and we grew up watching this dude in high school play BB...he was legendary, to say the least. He would score like 50pts against our school and the stands would be packed just to see him play. Very humble guy, great human being. I felt a sense of pride watching him do this interview now. All Love.
More Gulfport in the house. I knew him but he is younger than me. He was small when I left to join the Army. I didn't know he was that good until a friend of mine talked about him while I was in Germany. It was his Senior year at GHS, I saw him and just felt proud to see the young brother. I talk of him all the time especially now because of Steph. I'm happy he did what he did and I supported him and was criticized for it. Thanks brother for being a man and show that greatness comes from the coast.
Every interview makes me appreciate Mahmoud more and more. Being a poor Southerner with limited access to opportunities is relateable. Thanks for being courageous, inspirational for and sharing your story with us.#mahmoudabdulrauf #stand #showtime #nbalegend
Great conversation. Those who are the most passionate most times care the most. This brother stands on principles, not the bag. He could have easily complied and continued to grow financially, BUT spiritually he knew; it would have crushed him. No human can judge the self-sacrifice of another. Especially when you are ignorant of that man's journey. So for those who say THAT IF he has a problem with America's hypocrisies. He should leave. This is his home! His ancestors have contributed more and sacrificed more to make this country live up to its ideologies than ANY other group EXCEPT for the indigenous native of this land called America. #MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT MAHMOUD!!!
I literally had to shed a tear 😢 for this brother cause I was growing up during this time and never understood why he disappeared cause his game was really nice and he used that word 'unnecessary'. I felt that cause I to was in situations that was 'unnecessary'. When people ask me-Dave why ....blah blah? And that 'unnecessary' word is the first thing out of my mouth. SMH Nice interview....shout out from the Chi!
I’m glad I heard a Muslim finally said the difference between Zionist and Jewish. I’ve just been waiting for someone to say it. It’s something that’s perplexed me for years. I’ve always liked my Jewish friends. Actually I never even thought about it. Never was an issue. Just never knew why Jews were put down by Islam. He’s the first I’ve heard say the difference. Thank you Mahmoud
Islam doesn’t disrespect Judaism or Jews. Jews lived under Muslim Rule peacefully for centuries and had full rights. They are the people of the book. The contemporary issue is Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine, and Zionism (which is the antithesis of Judaism).
The same people that say, ‘Mahmoud was a Hypocrite for taking paychecks from the NBA/American Corporations? You do know that Mahmoud helped fill those seats, and NBA Arenas’ as a NBA star. The guy was a Top 5 pick and pretty much lived up to great standards. The guy never got in trouble with the law or anything too outrageous. Mahmoud got in trouble strictly for his own beliefs on religion, and worldly issues that mostly stemmed with America.
Thank you Peter for asking question you really want to know and not being afraid to sound ignorant. The question about his name is something I’ve always wondered myself.
Yo!! Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf is a childhood hero to me. He started playing on the Nuggets when I was 12. About the same time I started to get into hip-hop. He is definitely one of the dudes who opened my eyes to the bullshit of this country. I loved going to games and watching him turn his back and pray during the national anthem. He allowed me to ask why and because he was such a dope hooper I cared about his reason. Much love to him. Thank you for the prayers.
A country where you can play a game and make millions of dollars. And practice your religion.. sounds so bad?. Go try to practice a different religion in other parts of the world.. Is America perfect no, but no where is. We as Americans are entitled..
Apology isn’t enough. They need to parade him as a hero. Let him speak at official nba and mainstream TV channel stations and get paid for it. Ensure they give him pay that was unlawfully stripped from him during his prime worth the average or above average salary at that time adjusted for inflation. Then that’s a true legitimate apology and one with sincerity.
I respect Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf because he stood for something bigger than money. Allah swt is the greatest! Rauf has morals, values, ethics, character, honor, dignity, and integrity. David Sterns and the NBA blackballed Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf!
Honorable Teacher Mahmud Abdul Rauf Beautiful Human Being My deepest Respect, Love,Peace Great Soldier for Justice, Righteousness, Dignity, Freedom,Revolution

I remember back in the early to mid '80s me and my dad would not stand up to the American anthem when the Toronto Blue Jays were playing in Toronto..kudos to you Sir for standing up for what you believe!!
This man was an absolute beast. I don’t care what anyone says he was better than Steph. All due respect to Steph but if they took the “shackles” off of him like Steph he would have been better. That man played in an era that didn’t even understand that type of basketball and he was that and more. His handle was crazy and he was absolutely a terror
I wholeheartedly agree with this! 90s NBA was my era and as an MJ fan I feared Mahmoud every time they played. Now with youtube and being able to look back, this guy was incredible. Look up his high school games. I dont agree with him being "Steph before Steph" because Steph isnt posterizing players. Rauf was like mixing Mark Price with Kevin Johnson.
Please understand that this guy is one of if not the best shooter in the NBA FROM Mississippi Best RB in the NFL Walter Peyton FROM Mississippi Best WR in the NFL FROM Mississippi So many more…
Ebro! Thanks for listening. MORE mixed-race content from the MULATTO perspective!! MORE Mulatto stars!! Being that the both of you are Multiracial, and after just seeing the documentary wherein Mahmoud reveals his father is/was white (I knew he was Mulatto), I would've expected you to touch on that. We can handle the conversation, & we want to see more discussions about it. #Mulatto #MixedRace #Multiracial #Biracial
And a Nation of the God's question would be. Didn't Euro Jews, Christians, and Arab Muslims practice in African slavery? That shows and proves that all three faiths of Prophet Abraham who came from Turkey. That isn't where the original man came from. Showing and proving those religions are a mystery spoofs. That's what the Gods say. And their math and science is actual fact.
It's crazy cuz they only stress you if you a minority with some fame or money cuz my broke unknown ass never stands for that nonsense and I never get talked about LMMFAO who gives a damn about that song yall really care that much
Why are people so surprised????!!!! Ali was crucified!!!! How can karrem be the 👑???? ( Muslim) so now there a King James!!!! Who was the real King James???? He wrote the Christan bible!!! So it makes sense to knock the Muslim out of the top spot and replace it with the real King!!!! It is all done before our eyes. God bless Abdul he exposed the truth
It kills that people complain about America but act like there is not planes living every minute.. When those Muslim countries are oppressing people, people are literally dying to escape . They don't just talk like Americans do.. they get the f out..
@js7439 u do realize that we need religion and that religion is Islam and its a way of life God gives us the rules of how to live our lives and our ultimate purpose is to worship him
"The country" worked for him ?!? 🙄 He made the millions. In fact, black people made(and still making) millions for this so called "country" and I don't see you talking about that
@@evalinacesarcassule5097 the heck you talking about fool he’s playing a sport that made him millions . What you talking about country? Sports and politics don’t mix.
My Brother went through hell but because of his faith, Integrity and love he is still standing. Praise be to Allah for lifting Brother Mahmoud up.

Moss Point in the building. Him and Literrial "Fruity" Green used pack out gyms when they played each other. Green went to Georgia and he went to LSU.

Beautiful Revolutionary Liberation Empowerment Activist
This documentary was amazing. Must see TV...
Glad to see my guy finally getting his flowers. Much deserved and long over due.
A faster/quicker Steph, dude was really "like that"! Glad he's able share his story on many different platforms. 🙏🏾
Absolute legend. He has transcended basketball

Love this interview. It shows the struggle and strength of black people
A prime example of someone who paved the way for so many yet entitlement and ignorance has infiltrated the young
That's what they said about him in his days
He was a beast his crossover was one of the best in the game and was a beast in NBA live

Amazing interview. Hope he can come back again
Thank you for speaking out. We have to have these conversations.
The Steph Curry Before Steph 🐐👌🏾💙💛🏀
MashaAllah brother
Mahmoud has a Nipsey like spirit man! Or maybe it is that never fold energy I am sensing
No both light skin with curly hair. Stop acting deep you don't read enough for that...again stop acting deep
@@rasulsamad5860projecting your insecurities like a mf bruh. Life must suck
He’s older than Nipsey! Maybe you mean Nipsey had a “Mahmoud” like spirit.
Love this guy, you go man, they couldn't drive you out of this world, your one of the strongest man I know.
Blessings to him but very little has changed since he stood.
the nba and daivid stern did u dirty brother mahmoud ......bless up alhumdulillah🤲
The nba should offer an official apology to this man
Apology isn’t enough.
They need to parade him as a hero. Let him speak at official nba and mainstream TV channel stations and get paid for it.
Ensure they give him pay that was unlawfully stripped from him during his prime worth the average or above average salary at that time adjusted for inflation.

I love Mahmoud for the sake of Allah
Finally people are getting to know Mahmoud he deserves all the attention!
I respect Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf because he stood for something bigger than money. Allah swt is the greatest! Rauf has morals, values, ethics, character, honor, dignity, and integrity. David Sterns and the NBA blackballed Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf!

For anyone want to learn about Islam
Bless All.
Can't wait for it to come out
This is a really good interview it shows you how those people rule with a iron fist
These interviewers did not do any research before the interview
Very proud of Ebro for this. Showed great respect for the GOD
NBA IS NASTY & disgusting my guy is truely legendary
I love this man!! God did some their best work with him.
Why was Rosenberg laughing while asking about the names!!!!! That’s condescending asf! Maybe I feel that way bcuz I’m Muslim
You know why lol and who he is 😯
Read his book
You will have to order it online. Its not in libraries or book store shelves
Strong Brother...need I say more ☪
Please understand that this guy is one of if not the best shooter in the NBA FROM Mississippi
Best RB in the NFL Walter Peyton FROM Mississippi
Best WR in the NFL FROM Mississippi
So many more…
Great documentary. I leaned a lot.
He was Steph curry before Steph
What a fire interview
Till this day it hurts me to my heart how they did him because he was so damn good!! One of the best ever to play the game
Just finished the doc yesterday
He's the reason I 1st started following the Nuggets then Mutombo, Carmelo AI, K Mart, Camby and I still like the Nuggets now
Why was Laura silent during this segment?
The hero more than Hall of fame... it's time to get paid everybody where surprised with the new hero of nba
legend
Watched him when he played for the nuggets I remember that and Chris Jackson was his name before he changed it
One of GOAT best believe
Respect !
Disrespectful to even compare Kaepernick to him! Colin has fooled a lot of people.
The NBA did him wrong, no doubt. The NBA could have and should have handled it totally in a different way. So sad.
Did any NBA Legend or star stood by him ? Or was friends with him ? Or stay in touch with him ?
Respect to the elder Bernie Bickerstaff but he doesn’t come across well in the doc at all.
Facts! I walked away from it very upset with Bernie
AT ALL!!!
He really doesn’t lol
Uncle Tom type VIBES
With this shirt conversation, you get a glimpse into how strong willed this man is.
He was Steph Curry and Colin Kaepernick before they were
Ebro didn't wanna say his father was Muslim, but did emphasize his mother is jewish
Interesting yep I got that 2
the real uncle drew
Goat
Before Collin Kapernick.
Kaep was a pawn stop it lol
@@elliottwilson2352 pawn for who? explain your right wing talking point.
I meant. Which isn't where the original man came from.
I never listen when everyone in the league praised David stern I wonder if he could've sued
Yeah, I got your freedom of speech right here.
He was lights out from 3pts.
Black Balled for sure. No question about it.
I know his brother Tim Jackson from Raleigh, NC! Tim was nice at basketball to. But nothing like his brother Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf.
Little God ripped it!
He looks more like Steph than del taco does
Lil God!
Ebro! Thanks for listening. MORE mixed-race content from the MULATTO perspective!! MORE Mulatto stars!!

Mulatto is very offensive. Don’t use that word.
This man was a 💀
Nba robbed Abdul -Rauf of his talented career over National Anthem BS.
Did he grow out of his ticks?
And a Nation of the God's question would be. Didn't Euro Jews, Christians, and Arab Muslims practice in African slavery?

Where were the black athletes to support him ,now the are coming out in support…What a double standard
Why Is He Still Here? I Thought He Did Not Like It Here. Bye Felicia. There’s The Door. This Is A Conversation, That’s How We Grow Right, Right?
