- This could be the most impressive game by an NCAA player I've ever seen. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (or Chris Jackson) was a freshman participating in only his fifth college basketball game ever. Yet he drowns threes in the first seconds of the shot clock and fools seniors with his pump fakes and shake and bake moves like he had been doing this for years. What I loved most about the game is that he had no conscience whatever. LSU dominated the first half, only for Florida to come back and almost tie the game. Yet Jackson wouldn't let that happen by scoring 21 points in the span of about 6 or 7 minutes to ensure LSU's win. Amazing. NCAA 1988-89.

This was his FIFTH game...on the road against FLORIDA who had 3 players make the NBA that year.
Mercy!!!
Not only did this freshman drop 50+, he fouled out their best players!! Masterclass performance!!!
He was doing Steph a favor by comparing him to Chris. And in today wide-open game he would have been a monster. a monster.
You're fucking dumb, he got to the nba and wasted his talent just cause he didn't want to hear the national anthem, steph shoots from damm near half court and even with people knowing he's going to shoot he steph kills them anyway, no ones ever been close to what stephs done and Abdul/cj clearly maxed out in college
that's what I'm saying bro he would have killed n today games
+Jass Naj yeah pretty dumb right
Google User I came to watch this dude highlights because I loved his game but there’s no way he’s better than Steph Curry. Hes not even a better shooter at that
@@LilFundemental this statement is what makes social medi so great. Dude gave a opinion about a basketball player game. And your big dumb ass bring up shit bout the national anthem. Nothing at all to do with him scoring 40 in today's nba......Dusch....
Greatest freshman I ever saw.....that year at LSU he lit up everyone he played against breaking and rebreaking the freshman scoring records. I still remember that ally up dunk like it was today.
Good lord, I am looking at the other Chris Jackson videos on here and seeing 51, 34, 55, just sick. VASTLY underrated player.
He wasn't underrated at the time. He played two years in college and was consensus All-America First Team both years.
I've watched a lot of ball in my lifetime, and nobody, absolutely nobody, was colder than Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, previously known as Chris Jackson. 30ppg as a Freshman and 28 as a Soph. Jumper was wetter than a mermaid's tail.
I come back to watch these highlights in disbelief… Mahmoud was in a killer mode .. Steph couldn’t do this … no picks were set .. Mahmoud is goin head up with the defender
His crossover could break anyones ankles. So glad I got to see his college games
The quickest shooter in NBA. Perfect mechanics even perfect timing, Good player.
Dont feel bad Florida, He did the exact same thing to John Stockton.
This man was absolutely sensational and Dynamic.
Cold-blooded...w/o knowing it, the world was getting a preview of Steph Curry on a humid night in Florida back in 1988. Unreal mechanics and focus.
Excellent comparison.
yea mad props bcuz dis was b4 phil said and i also agree great comparison
You're an expert.
Appreciate it y'all, I'm just a student of the game...once you've watched Abdul-Rauf play, the Curry comparison is an obvious one. He was just stonewalled out of the L before he reached his prime, so we don't know much about him otherwise.
Julian Mihdi My sentiments exactly. Unreal focus.
Yup, that's why I'm here. I remember being FLABBERGASTED by Chris Jackson at the time. I, as a 5'10" shooting guard, tried to fashion my game after CJ. He was my favorite player, because of his smooth style and I was a little chubby (beer), and CJ had that baby fat. I'm older but had never seen a combination of handle, unlimited range and quick release that CJ possessed.
It's interesting to me that when he was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome, that I saw that the same obsessive-compulsive segment of the disorder which caused him to repeat certain actions was instrumental to him working on his handle and jump shot.
That dance move @ 4:47 was beyond ridiculous...my favorite college player.
El Dee yea that was nasty!
That right to left crossover was fast and it kept defenders off balance
I can’t remember him ever missing a free throw. Was a shooting machine
Chris was no joke wish he would’ve kept playing in the NBA
ALHAMDULILLAH, MAHMOUD ABDUL-RAUF WAS NICE!!!!
One of the greatest college guards of all time
Abdul Rauf is the best shooter off the dribble ever. Maybe the greatest shooter. Did the Hardaway Crossover before Hardaway?
A Dwayne Schintzius sighting
When my dad was a student at lsu he would always watch shaq and Chris. He went to this game with his friends on a flight
I was at this game. My senior year at UF.
He could've been a star in NBA,but NBA administration got him,especially Stern..
Shaq wasn't the best player when he arrived at LSU...it was this man.
Him. All the smoke interview brought me here!
😳 Unbelievable! He was cookin!
I've been searching for the game for over 20 years... thanks for posting.
Next to MJ and Allen Iverson, Chris Jackson inspired me more than any other shooting guard, ever.
He was just so fluid!!!
Man this dude was fire!!! So looking forward to his book coming on 10/18/22 - In The Blink of An Eye
I remember vividly watching this game and Chris Jackson left so many of us simply marveled.
He went through a lot but he had that flow on the court no doubt about that
Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was definitely one of the all time greatest basketball players!
my favorite player, ever. his play is so seamless too, that's what makes him different. doesn't expend unnecessary energy or force a shot that isn't there--nor does he dribble w/o purpose. just a fuckin pheonomenal player
He was in the NBA dunk contest if you guys didn't know
total freakish athlete...
Highly underrated they messed his career up Denver And the nba for some reason I'm sure he spoke about it in a interview
he got that utep two step down
Tim Hardaway stole it from him
+Bucket Central nah Tim had it first
Amazing. A freshman taking over like that is unheard of. Good timing for a college game upload btw :)
The best college scorer I have ever seen.
I obviously didn’t watch pistol Pete but I wonder how he would of did during this era of college basketball
@@saidufofanah2210he would destroy these guys
In todays nba he would be unstoppable.
Such a great Talent!!!
I see a lot of people comparing him to step curry only difference is Chris was way faster and could jump.
He's not faster
he did the same move every time and they couldn't stop it lol
He made a no look turnaround 3-point jumper.
...watching this 30+ years later with the same jaw drop as a student back then. Commentators simply ran out of words early in the 2nd half. The greatest in my mind. Chris/ Shaq= LSU Basketball. Todd Walker = LSU Baseball. Joe Burrow = LSU Football. All three leaving LSU was like a death in the family.
He was one of my favorite college players. This video takes me back to another player. People like to make comparisons, and I wasn't born them, but watch Pistol Pete at LSU with no 3pt line!
He was a freshman & the announcer said he scored 40+ in his last game & dropped 50 EASY.... Phil's comment was legit...... Not Chris Jackson NBA career but 4SURE his college
he seems better than curry in college. i mean his numbers are legendary like a pistol pete or something
Oh No ! Phil was referring to his NBA Career. Chris SCORCHED The Bulls EVERYTIME He played Them. We're talking Phil, Mike & Pippen had NO answer for Him. Those games are on UA-cam too.
Mahmoud was the truth, Dell knows he was watching him at this time, he knew what to teach his son based on Mahmoud.
with the no hand check rule in the NBA today, Jackson /Abdul Rauf would average 28 & 7 assists at least lol
You need to stop fucking overating hand checking, fucking hell, it makes no God damm difference , if he was capable of that he would've done it when he did play and he didn't, with that logic dozens of players should average that and they don't, kyrie doesn't average that and he's got way BETTER handles then cj and is great shooter, steph is the only guy capable of playing like this at the NBA level, and shoots absurd percentages despite shooting f from near half court, 20 point scorers have dropped dramatically in the last decade despite so called "rule changes" Kobe spend most of his career with the new rules and didn't average fucking 50 points a game, his best was 35ppg in 06 with the horrible team he had, yet people think MJ can average 50 today? If anybody was gonna average 50 it would've been KOBE in his prime on the kwame brown, smush Parker lakers team, MJS best PPG was 37ppg in like 87 best ever for anyone not named wilt, Kobe right after with his 35ppg.
+LilFundemental right...cause with handchecking he still put those numbers up in the NBA lol
@@LilFundemental Jordan would have evolved in today's game. Jordan perfected his game and would have perfected the 3 point shot. If you can get past a hand checking NBA then obviously Jordan would thrive in today's NBA.
That 1st play crossover 😳
What the NBA did to this man is criminal. , and through all of That he is not bitter. He is definitely a man of a higher purpose.
I could see this being the reason why a young Shaq would want to commit to LSU.
Too bad they only played together for one year before Jackson bolted for the NBA. IMO, if Abdul-Rauf played all four years, he and Shaq could had gotten to at least one Final Four, if not won it all.
Kelvin Trice shaq got recruited out of middle school, he happened to meet the coach at a military base.
Dale Brown was 💯 the reason Shaq committed to LSU.
One of the best guards to ever step on a court....top 10 guard easily
Yo you have those official CBS weekend games!!! Well done Lamar!!!!
He was extra nasty in college...word up!
I used to be a huge college basket ball fan back in the late 80's and 90's and i still say Chris Jackson was the best college basketball player I ever seen. Of course when Shaq showed up at LSU the show wasn't quite the same but Chris was the most consistent high scorer of any player I watched in my time. My favorite college players were as follows : #1 Chris Jackson/ #2 Glenn Robinson/ #3 Penny Hardaway. I will say after following Chris's career into the pro's I was a little disappointed in Chris for changing his name to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf in a possible defiance of being American. I'm 100% white but I always rooted for Chris and at the time I would never miss an LSU game on T.V. I've always been a Syracuse fan since Sherman Douglas and Billy Owens but in the Chris Jackson years I was a huge LSU fan also. I'll always think of him as Chris Jackson.
He could have been one of the best in the NBA if they basically didnt force him out the league
how did they force him out? I'm a young guy and never heard of him
+d3arb0rns he didnt stand up for the national anthem after converting to islam. He spoke about it in an HBO interview which caused teams to stay away from him. He was just ignored to the point where he had to play oversees in his prime years
Google User social media has done a lot more bad than good but I respect every thing else you said
Ahmad Saleh I hear you. I still feel he was one ☝️ of the best.
@Google User " Fuck white supremacy." We had 8 years of white people behind Barack Obama wrecking the country with his wars, debt, open borders, fentanyl, stupid trade policies, taxes, regulations, and making a racial issue out of police screwups.
Before that white people loved Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor.
Before that Black people were 12% of the population and got 18% of government jobs.
Before that trillions of dollars were spent on welfare and housing.
Before that thousands of white men fought to defeat the South to end slavery.
White people are good to black folks. Try to get #Woke.
And those experts at ESPN acting like Phil Jackson has No clue
You wonder how Chris Jackson and Shaq didn't make The Final Four or win it all. Then you realize how good UNLV with LJ and Augmon and Greg Anthony was and then Duke with Laetner, Hurly and Hill and the big 3 with Georgia Tech, Kenny Anderson, Dennis Scott and Brian Oliver. Wow
Put him on the injure reserve list when he really wasn't injured
I love this post!
They black balled him in the nba , dam shame, he was so nice
WOW!!!!!
I see right now he used the right to left between the legs crossover as a stable to get defenders off balance
8:35 wish there was a closeup replay of that pass, that was nice
I'm sure everyone's here because of Phil Jackson comment.
hellyea. .I didnt evn knew he exist
Fr
+Phuong Nguyen um like yeah dude

+Phuong Nguyen I am!
shaq brought me here😂😂
Justin Carroll your mom brought me here
Hip Hop smd
Christ Jackson "the best"
I'm here because someone mentioned NBA players who were blackballed (Kyrie Irving twitter link non-sense) Craig Hodges and Mahmoud Adul-Rauf aka Chris Jackson. It's sad what the NBA did to them. Mahmoud was Step before Step and unfortunately, Kaepernick before Kaepernick. Steph need to give credit to this guy. He mimicked his game after Mahmoud, not Dell. It's so obvious. He never got the press because he was in Denver, and they were never broadcast much. This guy was amazing to be only 5'9 or 5'10 (i played pickup ball w/ him). College legend and NBA great. I salute you two brothers for standing for something.
People forget about him … the 1-2 crossover to pull up was unstoppable, then he’d hit you with the pump fake next time … he’d average 34 today.
He the best shooter ever.. Hands down
This didn't age well 😅
A man amongst boys C Jack had to much game at LSU
im a big Chris Jackson Fan do you have anything else on him
Steph is the 2nd coming of him, said that from day one.
🙇🏿🙇🏿🙇🏿Walking buckets 🦾🦾🦾anyway you want it 🙇🏿🙇🏿🙇🏿… 🥀🥀🥀 2 HIM…
why they always talk about ai and hardaway startin the crossovers .. he takin ppl souls w they ankles attached 😂 straight into knockdown jumpers he goated 🐐
there are levels ..
Honestly (I'm a Curry fan, CJ too) but CJ could get his shot off better than Curry, his one on one creation game was phenomenal. Didn't need any screens at all.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Then Shaq came the next year, with Chris and Shaquille O'Neal. I'm surprised they never even got to the final four.
How in the living hell did they not win a title with him and Shaq. And wasn't Stanley Roberts on that team? I have to read more about this team, it should have been UNLV level of domination.
Edit: I know Shaq wasn't on this team but I think one year they had all three. I can't imagine a twin towers of those two with Chris Jackson waiting outside in that time period when teams couldn't spread the floor nearly as well.
CJ!!!!!.....
Who else here cuz of Mike Korzemba
Upload the Kentucky game from Freshman yr
Curry Be for Curry
This guy was obviously ridiculous he shoots it like he's the only player on the court and it looks automatic
UTEP 2step/ that's how you get it done.
Thanks for posting this video! This the game I heard about for years. Mahmoud just keeps shooting the same way from the same place again and again. Who does that? He wasn't even challenged to change his play up.
Kollin011, no he was challenged but he had answers. They tried to force him left, so he did. Plus a variety of step backs, hesitations, and drives to keep guys honest. They weren't willing to double team him until the last 8 min or so and even then he either got the foul or assist.
Similar game but he's more athletic then Steph Curry. I never seen Steph Curry catch alley up of a cut like that lol
1st take brought me here
Everybody just runs to the 38 foot shot.... Okay it was a great shot we understand that.... But everyone acting like curry was never seen before. These guys had similar play styles, Curry doesn't impress me that much. He NEEDS a screen 80% of the time. 20% handles to get his shot.
bruh steph is shootin 50% from 30 this yr
38 foot shot is easy work for curry. curry is never before seen. he the best shooter on catch and off the dribble. he can pull up from 30-35 feet.
doesnt mean he the best just never before seen
curry is nash 2.0 u wanna get technical. yea nash more traditional pg but curry is a way better player
King Anthony yes!!!! I keep telling mofos Curry aint got shit on this man
I swear if Mahmoud didn't gain all that weight and shot the ball more like Iverson he definitely would of became an all star. He should of made the all star team his 3rd year averaging 18pts a game but I guess his acts off the court affected him, which is messed up because look at artest and rodman. They let them stay in the league but not Mahmoud
he had 48 the previous game??
Cris Jackson is my cousin
my goodness he is steph before steph I mean his moves are so similar
YoungDizzyD Steph is Rauf after Rauf.
430 up n down travel
Who's here because of Jalen Rose not Phil?
@4:44
He was a remarkable player, but lolwuttermelons, it's not unheard of for freshmen to take over like that. Sampson, Melo, Durant and Tisdale dominated as freshmen, too. And Maravich would've done so with the varsity team, as he did with his freshman team.
All bigs though. What made Abdul-Rauf special was that he was a small perimeter player doing this.
Maravich was a big? Really? You do know he was a PG, and not 'big' at all, right? And Melo isn't exactly a PF or center and neither is KD, c'mon man.
Trey B. Cartwright Maravich was 6'6. melo is 6'8. KD is like 6'11 now. Jackson was 6'0 or 6'1 pretty short compared to the rest
I disagree none of them had a freshman year like he had
Just wait until u give him shaq.
ban 3 point line
