Mahmoud talked about how he had to shoot 10 free throws before he left the court. Not only did all 10 have to swish but they had to swish perfectly to his satisfaction. If 1 did not hit perfectly he would start all over. It kept him on the court sometimes crying because his quest for perfection would keep him out in the blazing sun in Gulfport, Mississippi for hours trying to shoot each shot perfectly.
Lisa Rose no you got it all wrong young lady. They played fierce defense back in the 90s because they could still hand check. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was just that good.
I wonder what the shoot around with Abdul-Rauf and Dale Ellis was like… original splash brothers.. they probably needed to change the nets quite often in Denver when they were on fire 😂🔥
No one wants to talk about what he did to Michael Jordan - when he was in high school. Mahmoud is by far the most underappreciated pioneer in the history of basketball.

The first time I saw Mahmoud play as a Freshman at LSU I literally had a physical and emotional reaction. I remember standing up and walking towards the TV in amazement. His game was so pure, refined, and efficient. I knew instantly that his game was not normal.
Greatest player I have ever seen play in-person, and I saw Magic play at Michigan State, Dominic play at Georgia, and Jordan play at North Carolina. He didn't need a screen or a play to get a good shot. His ball-handling, quick release, and, duh, accuracy, made him unguardable.
I totally agree I describe it as watching something magical. I literally cry from watching old clips I'm just overwhelmed with the level of talent, skill and grace he plays with. It's a blessing to witness!!
I've Ben saying that Curry and his game are very similar...i watched this guy play in MS...he was one of the greatest shooters I've EVER seen...like Curry he could pull up ANYWHERE after half court and it was a good shoot...Steph benefits from the way the rules aid the offensive players now in the NBA...if Chris/ Mahmoud was playing now then he would be lighting folks up

Imagine if he played for Larry Brown or Chuck Daly. Chuck Daly coached Penny and Isiah Thomas. Larry Brown coached Iverson and Billups. George Karl was a scoring point guard type of coach too.
AKA Chris Jackson ..absolute beast period. they hindered his career due to his religious choice. one of the best to ever do it. he'd drop 30 per game in today NBA
quite possibly the greatest shooter Ive ever seen. No Screens needed, In your Pointguards face.....All Day,Every Day. Just ask J. Stockton and M. Jordan.
***** old JordaN FROM 96 JUST had 2 years off playin baseball AND went on to win 3 more rings. so yeah his 10 scoring titles and 6 rings can hold those jumpers in his face. AND Jordan was an easy first round beating for other players so...............
I just saw a video of him hitting 124 perimeter jump shots out of 126 in 6 minutes. Unbelievable! I watched more vids of his NBA career and Phil Jackson knows what he's talking about!
finally someone else knows what they are talking about.. lol..he jumper was wet..setting up teammates. nice quick crossovers..if only all the off court stuff he had going on, personally I think if he balled for more years more ppl now n days would know his game
Rodney Hawkins There actually wasnt any public personal problems besides him expressing his political and religious rights as a US citizen; to not stand for the National Anthem. The elites that ran NBA back at that time black balled him out of a career.
Been waiting 18 yrs to see this game after watching the highlights on Sportscenter back in 95. I was smiling ear to ear that night. Kudos for this video!!.
Wow the way Curry plays its literally the same. Both great spot up shooter, pull up shots, floaters, movement without the ball. Damn he would be a beast in today's game.
His game is better than Curry's because Curry shoots from the floor he is the purest jump shooter I've ever seen jumping in the air while shooting that alone takes more energy than just standing on the court and shooting anybody can do that
1:31 was definitely NOT a three. I'm not sure if the TV announcers and the arena announcers misspoke, but his left foot was well in front of the 3 pt line.
Y'all haven't seen him play in the big 3....He's at aleast 15 years older than any other player in that league and he is Shell of himself and he is still good... He made great guards look bad. When people talk about the great pgs They forget about him
Simply put this guy played in the wrong era. I was a huge fan and this poor guy was literally railroaded out of the NBA. What an an amazing talent which was wasted.
Crazy and Unbelievable that he is not mentioned when it comes to the sport period. An elite guard without the size just pure talent. Dude would have won many games easily. Respect to AI Kyrie Tony Parker And Curry But Mahmoud was before his time. He would have dominated in this era as well. Living Legend
The Lob Mob since Curry is better, Mahmoud is the Curry of the 90s just like if Kobe was better than Jordan, jordan would be considered the Kobe of the 90s but, thats not the case so Kobe is the Jordan of the 2000-2010 era.
+Paulo Webba .... However it is important to note that if you are a coach you would be using Mahmoud as your model for perfect shooting form. You just cannot teach what Steph is doing.... Steph is a superstar and is having the time of his career, but when it comes to who is the "better" shooter, my money would be on Mahmoud.... Alan Houston was another shooter with excellent shooting form.
You stole my comment! If Abdul-Rauf had a offensive/uptempo coach and a Klay Thompson-esque shooting guard beside him, the Nuggets would have been awesome. Instead they tried to focus too much on Mutumbo on offense....ugh.
+2KGrind09 A player doesn't have to invent some new, never-before-seen style to be impressive... he just has to be really good at basketball. And curry is really good at basketball, and having one of the best seasons in the history of the league, statistically.. Shouldn't that be enough?
Im here in 2024, If Jason Kidd ever come on the Knuckleheads Podcast with Q-Rich and D-Miles, the First Question D-Miles gonna ask, "Who was the First person to Bust yo A***?" Jason Kidd replies " Pull up this video" 🙌😂😂😂 End of Discussion!💯 Mahmoud was the GENESIS of the Greatest Shooter the NBA ever had!!! This Brother was the Ultimate!!💯💯
His game is nothing like Curry's, Chris doesn't need spacing to get his shot off, bounce off the dribble then wet, Curry's J comes from his chest, Chris is'ah more thorough shoot'ah, I'll put anything on it.
Rauf is what speed and accuracy means. I would like to know his training style. Curry edge is he got a championship other than nothing else against this guy.
theres a 50 min vid on UA-cam with him talking about Everything from poverty to his intense training as a kid to islam and etc... When he was 9 he set a goal for himself that he would reach. He would go out every single day super early in the morning even when thunder struck and it was cold he would practise untill he came Home and his hands were frostbitten. He said as a kid sometimes he would train so hard that he nearly ran out of breath. Since he had tourettes syndrome and something else he became obsessed with doing Everything perfect. He wouldnt stop shooting untill he felt his form was absolutely perfect. i advise you to Watch the video its really worth it
yep and he also played against his imagination. he said he visualized playing against an invisible defender who always could just barely touch the ball while his dribbling and shooting. the amount of dedication was truly amazing
if you watched a lot of his games you could say he would have a higher 3 percentage if he line checking all the time, but since he's so fluid in his shot he doesn't care where he takes it. But if you pay attention he nails so many shots with a foot over the line or on the line while the other behind.
I noticed that watching a lot of videos on him. There were a lot of shots with his foot just inside or on the line. It's like getting the shot off comfortably was more important to him. Than where he was on the court. Not once do you see him look down to check for the line. People say they've never seen a shooter like Steph. My rebuttal is always, I have, his name is Mahmoud Abdul Rauf.
When mahmoud played for Denver he could have scored more but the rest of his team bitched & moaned about not getting touches. Especially Reggie Wiliams, La phonso ellis & mutoumbo
I said this recently.,,.. THIS guy was A1...Very , Very talented,, at 6.2.. FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND. HYBRID POINT SHOOTING GUARD.. Cmon!!! In my book,, if he played longer ,, he's up there with the Greats as far as talent and know the game...
The NBA had no match up for rauf he was so different me as a bulls fan i was glad they were in the west because when the bulls had to play them the night before i couldn't sleep like if i was the one who was playing.
Mahmoud talked about how he had to shoot 10 free throws before he left the court. Not only did all 10 have to swish but they had to swish perfectly to his satisfaction.

@TheNikolatesla34 That is true, but its just amazing for him to overcome his so called disability to become one of the all time great shooters.
His obsessive behavior caused by Tourette’s syndrome is what made him such a great shooter and the best career free throw percentage in NBA history.
This guy would be an animal in today's wide-open game style
Your honor I present to you exhibit A.. Stephen Curry.. He's the Mahmoud, of today's NBA game bro.. It's crazy, how eerie similar their games' are..

Arguably, the perfect jump shooter and FT shooter.....Exquisite Form....

I counted 3 made shots that touched the rim. The rest were all net. He was a goddam machine.
The stats show he was shooting 43% ... but when they go in they go in perfectly, none of that rattling in like with Bird.
43% off jump shots ain't too bad
Few layups here and there
@@cartierjoe 43% is 43% better than Yours Truly :)
@@cartierjoe 43% probably has a lot of 3-pointers rolled in there
xart23x he used to get very angry with himself when he hit rim on his free throws
He is better than most players today and he has tourettes
No. Righteous Islam.
The ticks of a perfectionist.
"If it don't go in all net.... it dont count"
-Abdul-Rauf
I like how Phil Jackson reminded the masses about how good this dude was.
Most perfect swishes I've ever seen
mushtikla1 never hits the Rim
Love the game of this era. Real men, swishes, mid range game, strategic offensive ball.
his form. is incredible. perhaps the best shooter. EVER.
Beautiful form, and that pull up J!!!
ahead of his time. Phil was actually right lol. if he would of played in this era he would no doubt be at least an allstar
Abdul-Rauf would roast the modern NBA. Would average 30ppg easy. One of the best pure shooters that ever existed. 🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌👍💯💯💯💯💪💪💪

salsadancer00 so technically 38 points
salsadancer00 ....I thought I was the only one noticed
Mahmoud had real game... beautiful stroke and could dish with the best
6:50 just snatched the soul straight out of his body. Jesus... what a move. I wish I'd been old enough to appreciate what he did here in Denver.
ONE OF THE BEST EVER PERIOD
Dat's A Bad Dude....Jesus Lord!!!!
One of the greatest ever to do it.
Chris Jackson was great but Mahmoud was a fucking surgeon out there
Michael Eyob Chris Jackson is a Dunker vs Mahmoud which is a shooter
I only knew about this guy as a kid because he was a BEAST on NBA Jam!
if rauf played for a coach like kerr and in an era where offensive players are given more leeway.....damn.....he would be untouchable...
mak hines rockets system , wouldn’t be hard to see him averaging 12-14 three point attempts while getting 8-9 assists
I always thought he should have been an all-star in 1994-95.
He's sick. Unbelievable!!
Mahmoud was da bomb!
Rauf didn't even notice Kidd was guarding him..
Y'all haven't seen him play in the big 3....He's at aleast 15 years older than any other player in that league and he is Shell of himself and he is still good... He made great guards look bad. When people talk about the great pgs They forget about him
I forgot Dale Ellis and Mahmoud were in the same backcourt. Ellis is often forgotten about but is one of the best shooters all-time.
His Shot So Damn Pure 💧!!!🤦🏾♂️
ADUL-RAUF THE LEGENDARY DOING AND1 AGAINST THE MAVVERICKS
"he has target acquisition."
I almost felt sorry for J Kidd. LOL
Saw him at a Mosque in MD when I was a kid giving away books and buying for kids
No one could stop him, period. They WHITEballed him! He's the first and Steph is like him, period.
6:50 might be one of the best moves ever
Simply put this guy played in the wrong era.
I was a huge fan and this poor guy was literally railroaded out of the NBA. What an an amazing talent which was wasted.

Still the prettiest shooting stroke that I've ever seen.

He Shook Jason Kidd @ 6:50
He shook da whole league, I remember him killing my Spurs 😆
If not for the politics - he would be in the Hall Of Fame.
He uses that behind the back or escape dribble to get back to his left hand to shoot. Very rarely does he drive all the way with his right
He was so tough

Curry NOT a TRUE point guard Rauf game polished and his jumper more consistent. 💯
On a court with Jackson, Mashburn, Kidd, Ellis, McDyess, and Mutombo, the most impactful player is Abdul Rauf.
His footwork & shot off screens was too pretty.

Move at 6:52 was fuckin diiirrrrty
he used to pull the trigger with no hesitation or remorse.
Fr bro I'm finna make this nigga on 2k lol
MAHMOUD ABDUL RAUF IS JUST FREAKISH ! No sense of conciousness.
THEY SHOULD START AND1 MIXTAPE WITH THIS GUY...
1:32 three pointer?? his feet was clearly not beyond the arc...
Lmfao you're sad
love this denver lineup
The NBA "assist" is a complete joke
Smooth
GOAT
6:19
Unbelievable
THE ONE AND ONLY ABDUL-RAUF NO IMITATORS, OR DUPLICATORS....WHERE WAS THE AND1 GUYS
Now that is a pure point guard, he trusts his teammates and makes plays for them and himself.
Mahmoud would have been just like steph curry in this era, maybe even better. Mahmoud is more athletic than curry.

He's actually not even 6 feet tall. He's 5'11".
Dude takes the longest 2 pointers known to man lol.
He did that to every point of that era they point out Jason kidd like Mahmoud was a bum everybody got it
Some people know him as CHRIS JACKSON ... HE PLAYED WITH SHAQ...
Before there was Steph.. There was Mahmoud....
1:31 that was no where near a 3😂
that boy was killing steph curry and his shots are more efficient

Wow they had subway back then?
Steph Curry before Steph Curry. Too bad his career was derailed.
Bro was the truth..the league wasn't ready bc he wouldn't get on his knees...🤟🏾🤟🏾
HE WAS ONE OF THE GREAT TALENTS TO EVER PLAY IN THE NBA BUT WAS CUT SHORT BECAUSE OF FLAG PROTESTS.....
holy crap they were generous with assists back then
3:46 - 3:49 Scott Brooks next time pack a bag when you go traveling...and you still turned the ball over. smdh.
All on Kidd and the Thunder coach Scottie Brooks
What's exact date of this game?
Today’s league is primed for a player like Mahmoud.
