Showtime documentary explores former NBA star’s story of overcoming poverty, racism, Tourette’s Syndrome, and a single-parent household only to later be exiled from NBA because of his beliefs
Somehow, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf doesn’t appear to be resentful.
Abdul-Rauf was drafted third overall by the Nuggets in 1990 out of LSU. His lightning-fast release, combined with his deft handle, evoked retroactive comparisons to Steph Curry. His talent was mesmerizing, as was his ongoing battle with Tourette’s, which likely contributed to his dedication on the court.
“It wasn’t a thing that I felt that he was doing for anyone, not that what Kaepernick was doing was, I’m not judging him for the way he did it,”for a story in 2020. “I just think Mahmoud, it was something he had learned and he believed in. … He just chose to do it. No one knew.”
