rauf

in the mid-1990s when they both played for the Denver Nuggets, let's take a look, let me tell you one of the things I liked about being in Denver playing with my mood.

I'll do it and people see things now. To me, he was the first guy like Tim Hardaway that did it, you know, he's the OG, but the sauce on that thing pump fake and he'll hit you with the bomb and make

everyone

love, you know what's crazy , is playing in the big three. and I just played in the Big Three Championship. I really love him. Shout out: Mark is moving at 50. That's what I said at his age. I learned professionalism and he is immaculate. You have Tourette syndrome. I sat there and watched him tie his shoe as a teammate.

I watched him not eat at certain periods of time during the season, him and Hakeem Olajuwon and it was unbelievable to me. I couldn't. I thought wow, like I ate it. Definitely one of my mentions. I'm like him.

better

than me, he is more disciplined than me and the opinion of the next player we will see is Isaiah Thomas Isaiah Thomas, obviously one of the best point guards of all time, has a lot of respect and a lot of love for Chris Jackson aka Mahmoud Abdul

rauf

, let's take a look. The first thing you really notice about him is his shooting distance, but also his ability to shoot off the rebound, that's what really separates a lot of guys.

Can you shoot? the dribble with defense on you people say you know it's one of the first times we've seen a player like this shoot from this distance with this type of rain, this type of rebound, well I hate to burst the bubble a little bit of all because I remind you of another guy who did just as well and his name was Mahmoud Abdul Rauf. Wow, it's fun watching Fox train the jumpers. Still works in all games. Talking about someone who had the one two in terms of between the legs, the crossover and then the pull-up, but he had it anyway, it was difficult to protect my movement because his dribble off the bounce was so tight and then he was so fast and then had a fake shot built in, it was a fake one-two, let it go, then knock it down and then there's a one-two shot and it was all like in the same cadence and the same rhythm, it's like a big Imagine throwing a fastball and then gives you the changeup with the same motion and you're way ahead of the pitch, you know, instead of the pitch coming in at 100 miles an hour, now it's coming in at 82.

Well, that was my move, my throwing motion would be to be a hundred and then here this is it and that's 82 and you fly by and he looks at you and you're going to go out in simulated mode for three yes yes up for three yes yes he's five out of five there's a three with two guys on top of him another amazing time this is a record performance from Mahmoud tonight so Mahmoud will play against John Stockton one of the best guards to ever play in my move is Stockton 51. laughs 51. amazing that's how great his shooter is.

There was a young black man who had an athlete who we were taught to stay in a box? I don't know how many people give enough credit for his playing style to see him have Tourette's syndrome and still destroy the best players in the world. league I didn't stand a chance against my food it seemed like I was watching God play basketball I'm fighting fears I'm fighting feeling inadequate I'm like a man, I have to get over this so my life is over, he helped remind people. that athletes are human one of the best players in history was scammed in his career he was just volatile this is the most notorious figure in America my moon never said I'm going to burn down the house but the clan burned down his house how's that going? that once you see something you can't unsee it please stand up for our national anthem I wanted to ask you you said that uh rauf was very difficult for you to protect um yeah it was set up in the chat and I agree they said rauf was Steph Curry before Steph Curry with Steph Curry, would you agree with that?

Oh, yeah, yeah, man, I mean, you know, and me and Mood are very good friends to this day, but the first time I played against them was at LSU and you know. We had heard about him and all that, but we went down there, we were Powerhouse in 1989, you know, we and we beat him by 27, but on the first play of the game my move went down, he had the basketball and I'm guarding them . Then suddenly the crowd started applauding and I was looking around. I thought what they were applauding, he had already scored and I said this.

I posted this, the other day, that the offense of him, you know how many packages you have. They're all aiming from different angles and you can't see their punches coming, yeah, that's their offense, you can't see it coming, the obstacles Spud and Mugsy overcame, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf, formerly Chris Jackson, faced equally daunting odds at just six feet. He entered the NBA as a shooting guard, a position that has come to be dominated by taller players judging by his stellar college career, yet he seemed more than qualified at LSU. He accumulated more points and a higher scoring average than any other first-year player.

In history, he became the second freshman to be named a first-team All-American and earned SEC Player of the Year honors in his first two seasons, so when he entered the NBA he seemed ready to the challenge ahead with the third pick in the 1990 NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets select Chris Jackson. You know, this is like a dream come true and I'm glad they chose me. I will do everything I can to please my mood. Abdul Rauf, an incredible shooter when he was at LSU with Shaq and Stanley Roberts imagine a basketball team and Shaq is the third best player on the team, had the courage to resist someone taking away their livelihood and that's a whole different level of activism. , it's a completely different strategy, you know, like I said.

At the beginning of the video, this episode is an experiment and I want to see if you guys are also interested in NBA legends talking about lesser known players who have never been nor will be superstars, but for me as an NBA fan of old school, I find this super interesting, but now it's your turn to show it to me if you want to see something like this anyway, in my opinion, my mood up to the ceiling is one of the most underrated players of the 1990s, Super fast release, super great off the dribble. The guy was a machine, but unfortunately, if you know the NBA history behind his career, his career was cut short due to a lot of different reasons which I would probably cover in one of my future episodes, but until then, see you next time in the basketball time machine.
