I have never heard a person speak bad about this gentleman only an organization and its oppressors. This man was great for basketball and even a better human being.
@ALF RAYDOUGH Shaq, CJ, Stanley Roberts, Wayne Sims, Mo Williamson...they beat UNLV & Loyola MaryMount during season...Shouldve won it all, lost to Georgia Tech, Dennis Scott. Kenny Anderson in 2nd Round....Best LSU team Ever!!
This brother is so humble. May Allâh reward him for his struggles. I would of thought Steve Kerr would of been the easiest to cross over. There is a video against the bulls in 95.
This is amazing that he detailed this. As someone with OCD it means a lot to hear a successful, smart guy sharing that he experienced similar things and overcame.
I saw him play .. I sat behind his bench .. his tourettes was going off the charts and he still scored 40 .. back when 40 was 40 .. that's like 65 these days
when he got it going he had the quickest release, off the dribble in your eyeball jumper that destroyed the likes of Stockton, Kidd, Payton, MJ, etc, when Shaq came to LSU he was the SECOND best player on that team. what did he score his first two games in college, was it 45 and 55 pts, something like that. 6 1", 170 lbs of terror
I met him in six flags NJ after a Friday service. He took his time to talk and listen to me. Even went further by giving me his email to keep in touch. Hopefully, one day we walk together on the a project.
As a child, it was an honor to watch this brother shoot the basketball. The GREATEST shooter I've ever seen!!! On another note, I know someone with Tourette's syndrome. Since we were children. She is one of my closest friends. Growing up into adulthood. I asked her how she had been coping with the "disease" since we were kids. Her answer was astounding. She said through getting to know our Heavenly Father, and learning who she truly is as "black" person. That she now knew Tourette's is an evil spirit, just like seizures and a lot of other mental illnesses. And that this world just uses "medical" terms to not associate with the spirit world.... So, as an adult she coped with it by exercising. Eating healthy, and jazz. And MOST of all prayer, and reading the Holy scriptures of our ancestors. I have so much respect for my brothers and sisters with mental illnesses that I see....truly #muchlove
I can't believe he burned Scott Skiles like that! Here in Chicago we still love him even though his Bulls team kinda sucked... but they played hard! Management did him dirty by firing him on Christmas day!
U use too scream on the court...make funny noises...i grew up close too him ..during the summer months i would go to my grands house we played ball sum up till sun down
@We Are A Beautiful People Which is a problem!!!! You idiots obviously can't figure this out, and you uphold your goofy entitled feelings of love and hate overall! When that's not even the issue.....when ultimately you're making the situation worse, racism was never about the violence! ua-cam.com/video/YawFia3-zDg/v-deo.html & photos.app.goo.gl/y43TcHkNknM9PGPW8 & en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanqueamiento
@We Are A Beautiful People My God.....you can quit attacking like you received a punch in the face! What ultimately yes on this comment board I'm constantly running into other races who missed the point of racism where they think proclaiming how people got along heels things when the very least point of pro interracial dating ruins blacks! Thanks tho
@We Are A Beautiful People I have been on this Earth longer than tonight I have read many dumb comments that come from people over years and in person! So you need to understand where am I becoming from in the 1st place, me dealing with people who are agitators! They're always trying to promote interracial dating as if love heels racism, when that only adds more fuel to the fire against Melenated ppl
Something about his tone and his measured thoughtful respones..I could listen to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf for days
I totally agree his articulation and demeanor just lifts your spirit. He definitely has a beautiful soul !!
I have never heard a person speak bad about this gentleman only an organization and its oppressors. This man was great for basketball and even a better human being.
This man was awesome at LSU

Has always been a respectable young man and gentleman. He always carries himself as a gentleman. I went to Gulfport High, class of 87
This brother is so humble. May Allâh reward him for his struggles. I would of thought Steve Kerr would of been the easiest to cross over. There is a video against the bulls in 95.
Abdul rauf still holds the NCAA record for highest average by a rookie at 31/game. 30 years later nobody has beat him.
You mean highest average by a freshman?
Correct, freshman, sorry.
I was so proud of Him back then ,and I still am....
He is all heart, true Muslim. May Allah bless him
Chris Jackson was the best college basketball player that I have ever seen.
This was an amazing interview. I'm glad he was willing to share his story.
This guy is probably one of the best basketball player ever... pure basketball i mean.
This is amazing that he detailed this. As someone with OCD it means a lot to hear a successful, smart guy sharing that he experienced similar things and overcame.

My all time favorite basketball player in college. Might be the best pure shooter ever.
when he got it going he had the quickest release, off the dribble in your eyeball jumper that destroyed the likes of Stockton, Kidd, Payton, MJ, etc, when Shaq came to LSU he was the SECOND best player on that team. what did he score his first two games in college, was it 45 and 55 pts, something like that. 6 1", 170 lbs of terror

He's so polite and forebearing
Very Underrated!!!
This was a great interview.
Salam mashallah
This man is beautiful inside and out
respect for you brother

Lot of people don't know this Guy. He was Steph before Steph..Jumper was automatic
We love you, Mahmoud!!!
Mahmud Abdul Rauf is an inspiration, a true legend, wish him and his family health and success.
Great Player🤘
No price tag on seeing Shaq throw trashcans at Stanley Robinson in a Basement, deep in the heart of the bayou.
I played ball with him in Dearborn
I believe you. The guy is such a nice guy nice and humble person.
I met him in balitmore
Would be nice to see him sue the NBA for whiteballing him. Disgusting what the league did to him.
Now there is a great idea. I wish he did that and won a huge sum.
do you mean blackballing?
Thank you for using the term “whiteballing” because it was so accurately describes what he endured.
Mr Abdul Rauf we missed u, few games together but your team friends talk about u much, come back and visit here in Turkey,
The human spirit in a capsule
I can't believe he burned Scott Skiles like that! Here in Chicago we still love him even though his Bulls team kinda sucked... but they played hard! Management did him dirty by firing him on Christmas day!
Salute to Mahmoud
Just a super cool dude and very down to earth 🌎 the NBA wasn't ready for people who believe their religion to heart.
Great player and a classy soul Brother and he got ran out by the racist NBA and he still is cool no matter what,respect
Scott Skiles oddly enough, got the all time single game assist record against Rauf.
Easily the most likeable person, Scott skiles sorry man you was ground Turkey........
Not just Colin K before but also Stephen Curry before Stephen Curry.
Why Shaq don’t talk about this guy
Because Shaq is a tool for WS.
I constantly ask this question myself.
Never knew this guy was half white
I barely saw him tic. He demonstrated several of them, but none seemed involuntary.
U use too scream on the court...make funny noises...i grew up close too him ..during the summer months i would go to my grands house we played ball sum up till sun down
You are a liar.
0:05 What's wrong with Israel Gutierrez? He has the energy of a SWS.
I remember playing against Mahmoud in college, left him in tears after dropping 50 on him at the half
🧢
Israel Gutierrez reaction when they say joining us today is annoying. At least be courteous
Ur looks like nas
The magnificent path anteriorly punish because nail concurringly manage without a maniacal archer. debonair, deadpan malaysia
It sounds more like OCD than tourettes
OCD and TS are very closely related so it's normal to have those attributes while having TS.
Is that really tourettes that he has??? It sounds like its OCD?
Tourettes lead to his perfectionism
The Wedge if you watch old basketball games of he’s he would keep shoulder shrugging. Or do repetitive things
It is very common for people with Tourettes to also have symptoms of OCD.
They go hand in hand. The tics and ocd work together. I suffer from this
that what happens with you have a white parent you have personal problems
Stanley Roberts was more talented and bigger but work ethic was average
white male father's Blood!🤢
