They Pushed The FIRST Steph Curry OUT THE LEAGUE! Stunted Growth
Chris Jackson was one of the best point guards in the early 90s. Many even say he was the first Steph Curry. His college run at LSU was one of the best ever individually. He was the SEC player of the year in both his years there and all American. The 3rd overall pick in the draft that averaged 14ppg as a rookie. With that said, would you imagine he would spend less than 10 years in the league? Let me ask you another question. What are you willing to give up for your beliefs? What Mahmoud Abdul Rauf gave up was everything.
After seeing he couldn't be globally marketed, the league secretly blackballed him out of the league. He was averaging almost 20ppg and 7 assist when the Denver Nuggets were forced to trade him to the NBA graveyard at the time, the Sacramento Kings. And guess what, they never played him like his talent suggested. His home was even set on fire all because his beliefs didn't align with the majority. They say land of the free, but what does that even mean? It's 2021 and displays all over the internet and T.V show you that means nothing. Just something cool to say to attract more business. Abdul Rauf was bad for business to them and they Stunted his Growth and never blank an eye.

Would you have given up your NBA career for your religious beliefs? EXCLUSIVE BTS WORKOUTS
He is not the first Steph Curry he’s the only Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
First! Blackballed is definitely the correct term. The NBA stole his career.
Before Kaep there was Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and Craig Hodges.
The Legend...Stood up for his beliefs, and solid individual
Some people sacrifice themselves so the next generation can move forward
I remember his free throws were automatic-perfect form and nothing but net.
Yeah....North Gulfport, MS in the building. Man I grew up in the same hood as him. This dude would be up at 5 AM dribbling and shooting before school everyday! His high school, college, and pro highlights are unreal!
Craig Hodges and Abdul Rauf understood something about being a man, especially a Black man: life is not about being selfish, famous, and rich. You have to be a God fearing man and help your people do the same, or else they’ll fall into stereotypes that ultimately won’t benefit them in this White world, to say the least.
He and Craig Hodges were the NBA'S VERSION of Colin Kaepernick!
Did him like they did Craig Hodges
I remember when he gave Jordan and the Bulls straight problems! Jordan kept looking around like someone stop him.
DAMN CALLING HIM THE FIRST STEPH CURRY CALL HIM MAHMOUD ABDUL-RAUF
The nba owes him a lot of money.
He was/is a beast. Before his time as a player.. LEGEND
One of the best scorers and shooters ever dude was way ahead of his time on and off the floor
Quickest release I’ve ever seen. You wouldn’t know when he was gonna pull up. He had hops too!!
I grew up in the era when he played. For all of those that never watched him play, you truly missed out on an extremely underrated player. It is true, he could shoot Steph Curry outta the gym. It’s sad he got pushed away from his biggest talent. Much respect to him
I was inspired by his "swishes only" training, when I work out by myself my shots don't count if I don't swish them, it really does improve your shooting
One of the greatest players I've EVER SEEN in 44 yrs of playing and following the game!!
