Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf 51 on John Stockton(1995)

he was blackballed out of the NBA. Dude was a total beast

He had more 50 pt games in college than current lottery picks had 25 pt games...... unreal shooter

He is an unbelievable shooter. He even doesnt need the board and he wasnt even tall. He is a sniper. And not only a great athlete, he did stand for what he believed and gave up NBA to make himself a legend like Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X and Dr King.

An incredible player, way ahead of his time.

This guy was black balled because of his beliefs. This is America you have a right to believe in whatever you want as long as it doesn't bring harm to others. He is the definition of creating space and scoring as well as an assist leader. Amazing skill beats athleticism any day.

I'm happy Phil shed some light on a player, some other fans may not have known about.

stockton can't be mad at his own defensive performance, he was right up on mahmoud on lots of those shots. the crazy thing is how much mahmoud elevates on a lot of them. so fun to watch.

This man was (and still is) a legend around Mississippi and Baton Rouge...he is honestly the best shooter I have ever seen....this man had to be guarded after he passed half court just because he had such range...I hate how people are slighting him because he never averaged more than 19 pts in the NBA during an era in which defenses were so tough that it prompted the league office to change rules so that it made scoring much easier...this IMO has helped Curry to be able to have such gaudy stats....also the offense GS runs is tailored for Steph unlike the offense Denver had where Mahmoud wasn't featured...

People forget that this man wasn't only a pure shooter.......he was in the dunk contest as well.

Abdul-Rauf was amazing, he would've been a sensation back in the 90s if they had social media, internet, and smart phone availability like today. He was was cool, took care of business, and did not show boat.

If anyone here knows Islamic history he reminds me of a warrior by the name of Khalid ibn Waleed - he never ever backs down and is like almost not human in his abilities. Pure God given talent that can't be developed to reach that potential, you got to be given it. Mahmoud abdul Rauf reminds me of Khalid ibn waleed. In his prime, no one can check him and he will drop 35 at minimum even if you have your "A" game on and there is nothing no one can do about it.

uncheckable his whole career. awesome dude too

He was as good as heaven. He was killing Jordan and Kerr to end Bulls winning streak, that's why Phil said what he said.

what an inspiring dude. had tourettes and found meaning in his life

People coming from Phil's tweet like "oh shit maybe that old dude was right"

This Brother coulda been a Hall of Famer in the NBA if he wasnt Blackballed 💯

What a gem of a video. This performance along with the one against the Bulls later in the season in which he scored 32 points are among my favorite basketball highlights.

Why fade out of every clip? So damn annoying

To think that this guy from the 90's got his career taken away and could've still been playing in the NBA right now he might go down as the honorary GOAT.

just a pure scorer!!!! he could give it to you from anywhere on the court.
