Meet Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf: The Stephen Curry Of The 1990's!
2X NBA MVP and Phoenix Suns Star Point Guard Steve Nash retired from the league with the highest career free-throw percentage in NBA history. He shot a ridiculous 90.43 percent, barely beating out Mark Price who held second place at 90.39. Although Steve Nash was indeed a great player and this record is without a doubt amazing, what if I told you there was one person who was statistically better?
NBA player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf finished his nine-year NBA career with a 90.5 percent free-throw shooting percentage making him the best free-throw shooter of all-time.
Not only that but he was once one of the deadliest shooters in the history of college and professional basketball, a two-time All-American at LSU and then a lottery pick who, in nine seasons in the NBA, played against some of the leagues biggest names.
But why have we not heard about him? Today on NBA Insider we take a closer look at the outstanding journey behind his NBA career.

I hope you guys are all having a great weekend ! I apologize for making this video so long.
I had to divide the video into two parts because my computer would not allow me to export the entire file as one. I also made the video long because this was a player who honestly had a great story behind his career and I really wanted to introduce you guys to him. I hope you guys can forgive me for making it so long. However, I hope you guys enjoy part 1 of 2 !

[@washaunr.652]

NBA Insider Ur Awesome

[@solomonkessington8136]

NBA Insider no worries bro

[@parkerm5997]

NBA Insider I need part 2

[@lotofgamebrother3036]

NBA Insider 9

[@lukecywalker]

NBA Insider finally man. He is my favorite player other than Lebron. I saw him drop 50 points in a half in high school. His high school highlights are on CZcams.

[@jellowfellow3929]

OMG i thought everybody forgot about mahmoud thanks for bringing him back

[@Tonio5100]

he signed a 5 year 13 million dollar extension.......... Just let that sink in compared to what the guys these day make

[@deionrussell848]

Tonio5100 remember the cost of the living was different back then

[@kinghabibi6003]

Tonio5100 back if u used inflation 13 million in 90's is like 20 million now

[@marcjuice]

sync*

[@blackpelasgian8420]

King Habibi....So True, in fact 13 million is more like 26 million now, going back 22 years ago to 1995.....Monthly 1 bedrroom apartment rentals in Calif. has doubled from $600 to $1200, can tuna has doubled from 0.65 cents to more than $1.00, 5 Series BMW and E-Class Benz's has balloned from $44,000.00 to $64,000/00, GASOLINE prices has gone from $1.25 gal to $2.70 etc etc, therefore, $13 million in 1995 is would be worth $26+ million today, or $5.2 million per year....

[@smalldesklamp]

My dad has a shirt autographed by him

[@samleak7671]

i used to have pair of Nikes sign by him. but i sold them to my friend and he started using them as lawn meowing shoes.

[@lilviews]

Sam Leak savage

[@subhanhussain4924]

Cakh5050 same

[@farmerwithashotgun8523]

I autographed your Dada wife

[@Hellamoody]

He has the best free throw % in NBA history! They left him outta that official title though only because he shot a few less free throws than what it qualifies for, which is complete bs

[@ziggy2914]

1,000 SUBS WITH 1 VIDEO that's the 1st thing he said in the video..

[@jahlilokafor8258]

1,000 SUBS WITH 1 VIDEO no shit

[@combatenthusiast6297]

They had that rule before he came around though.

[@andrefaelnar]

so not only he was a steph curry of his time but also the colin kaepernick of his time as well?

[@hardendefense6600]

Hey man I am a 13 year old youtuber who makes NBA videos three times a week. I have 870 subscribers and I have only been making videos Ince the new year. I would really mean a lot if you check out my latest video and tell me what you think!!!!

[@SaintHoax-kx7fp]

Andre Faelnar isn't curry just the muhmoud of now

[@phenomfacemob1011]

Andre Faelnar what do u mean by that?

[@andrefaelnar]

Phenom Facemob the common thing between them is that they both are deadly shooters and they both didnt stand up during the playing of the national anthem

[@phenomfacemob1011]

Andre Faelnar but they in different sports how can they both be deadly shooters

[@Hellamoody]

Finally the man is getting some respect!
I met him a couple of years ago, one of the realest and down to earth people you'll ever meet

[@dguz7625]

Didn't Phil Jackson say this?

[@premiumchannel6244]

DylanGuzman7 yeah

[@kisscrank]

Wonder why he never sued the NBA. People forget that even though you're a professional athlete it's still a job. That's illegal to discriminate.

[@tdh3961]

If you don't like this you will not be affected

[@leobittarello4456]

TDH 2K thanks u gave me bad luck...

[@gdking6009]

Leonardo Bittarello now u will be drafted by the 76ers

[@Hellamoody]

Arguably had the best shot in the history of the game

[@moomeeknba4389]

1,000 SUBS WITH 1 VIDEO are you ed

[@carmeloanthony410]

MooMeekNBA have you watched the vid or not?

[@moomeeknba4389]

Prime Melo yeah he may be the best free throw shooter but this kid is saying the best shot period and that's dumb as hell

[@phenomfacemob1011]

MooMeekNBA y is it dumb.. it ain't dumber than ppl saying curry the best shooter ever

[@garcia26vega]

He’s the best shooter I ever saw besides Steph

[@BasketballAve]

just want to thank you for highlighting one of my most fav players....this guy was black balled for standing up for his beliefs...great vid

[@mattburns3803]

I'm amazed how he got in to a dunk contest when he's never dunked in game before. That's just mind baffling

[@Honeydew360]

finally, i was waiting for somebody to make a video of Mahmoud Abdul Rauf

[@ronwell25]

Remember he scored 51 points on prime stockton and also scored 36 points on Jordan in 1996🔥💪

[@cod101wiiowenjaquithoj]

Now I understand why Mohmoud-Abdul Rauf has an A rated three pointer on 2K.

[@davidnivens7078]

go watch his game vs jordan, jordan couldn't stop this guy

[@sw0re0]

When you're early and don't know what to say....

[@todoroki3579]

Lil uzi Vert bye

[@sw0re0]

REALG yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[@leftbenchplayaa]

[@Stikob]

Tommywood push me to the edge

[@jakebrogan8754]

Steph Jr I don't really care if you cry

[@Woozie894]

[@Sa-rf9bn]

who's an osn fan in here??????

[@DarkKnight-dz4ly]

Thanks for bringing this guys back....He's currently playing at 3 headed monsters in Big 3 League

[@CheapAbyss]

Finally some love for this guy! I've been playing with him in 2k MyTeam basically since 2k13, and *man* this guy could shoot.

[@cameronbishop5519]

Great video man I feel like I learn something new from each of your videos so thank for making these videos

[@tonym4308]

I always appreciate the knowledge you bring to CZcams, love the videos!

[@macelew4952]

Your intros is dope asf💯💪🏾

[@NBAInsider]

respect bro !

[@petelouis2359]

hes slso the Kapernick of the 90s

[@yassersaleh881]

Great vid bro 👍🏻👏🏻

[@khairilabrar7322]

With Abdul-Rauf's scoring from mid to long range and Mutombo solid defense, this duo's games becomes one of the most fascinating game to watch during the 90.

[@Mr.Random3D]

Hes still good he's playing in that BIG 3 by ice cube

[@NBAInsider]

And still putting in work!

[@cristianzavala5286]

Oh shit I go to that high school

[@hardendefense6600]

Hey man I am a 13 year old youtuber who makes NBA videos three times a week. I have 870 subscribers and I have only been making videos Ince the new year. I would really mean a lot if you check out my latest video and tell me what you think!!!!

[@Poppa11688]

One of my favorite players I was born in 1988 so I was fortunate enough to actually see him play before he got black balled

[@charismatic9904]

No u didn't.

[@dayra6425]

Take out the hand check, and Abdul rauf would have a highlight tape that no one would of matched. Got to watch him play vs Bobby Hurley one year .. sat right behind the nuggets bench .. the fact that he was doing what he was doing while twitching the whole time was crazy

[@Anonymous-qk1yu]

i first followed this channel because he supports the raptors. but now being subbed for a long time the content is actually nice i like this keep it up nba insider

[@shawnorjiakor]

Thanks for standing up against the flag, Mahmoud

[@cod101wiiowenjaquithoj]

Shawn Orjiakor anti-American sentiment much?

[@shawnorjiakor]

Nope. Just an perspective.

[@YoRoyalFlynezz]

Shawn Orjiakor Pretty sure it's Anti-American to label someone in a "DEMOCRATIC" country Anti-American just for having a personal perspective. We should leave the Controlling of people's thoughts, opinions and perspectives to the Authoritarians and the Dictatorships don't you think?

[@shawnorjiakor]

Elvis Freshley whatever you want to think.

[@SILK334]

I'm not I understand why he is standing up against the flag of a country, that although is far from perfect, allows freedoms that many countries dont even have.

[@aaribkhan9458]

amazing video

[@abazarwahedi2065]

He stayed in my Home for 3 night a few years ago . 🌺😊

[@charismatic9904]

Then u woke up

[@powermoneyhustle4826]

good videos man

[@aliyah_ahmed3189]

When I looked at the thumbnail it took me a while to realize something and I said "heyyy I met that guy before!" I had a long conversation with him about my dad interviewing him in my dad's podcast 😂 I know that's random but he's a nice dude

[@yungfacial]

good shit young boi, i like how/that u did ur hm. wrk.!!!👍👊

[@targetdemographic]

interesting piece of NBA history thanks for presenting it

[@aronneal]

Love his guy growing up

[@evgeni-nabokov]

He played for Ural-Great (Perm).

[@Aboukay80]

Any kid who grew up in the 90's and followed the NBA fairly decently definitely knows who Mahmoud Abdul Rauf is and especially from his days in Denver

[@jonathanfanfan6681]

he kept his conscious

[@TheTitanborn]

Chris was better than Steph.

[@mcnasty1502]

he's a beast I l9ved watching him and dikimbae

[@aquazier1132]

Nice vid.

[@humble6857]

Well done

[@samsungbestbuy3414]

"meet dell curry the Stephen curry of the 90's" XD

[@DWILSON98]

NBA Insider Love your Vids there Outstanding. But ons question how old are you bud?At least in high school right? Lol

[@willdabeast8586]

[@user-ht6px9wb9x]

[@salahu-dinhussein195]

I met him beforw

[@YaBoiJern757]

good vid

[@z-dog9786]

Please respond it would mean the world to me your my favorite youtuber

[@danelleanderson4440]

Purest shooter in the game

[@keithmills09]

You need to make a video about Deron Williams fallout with Jerry Sloan. Need to know more information about why Sloan stepped down during that time of coaching.

[@blockeddunk5384]

Congrats on all the growth been here since 30k

[@deaundretipton1992]

He was unique

[@YaBoiJern757]

Alotta people don't remember Rauf aka Chris Jackson he was also the first athlete to not pledge to the flag

[@jamesharden2361]

I got a chance to meet him and train with him, he's still a BEAST! He beat MJ 1v1 in a college recruit camp, and was offered to play Steph curry 1v1 recently. He can prolly still beat him.

[@albaraamahdi1]

part 2!!!!!

[@YoungDen]

He was blackballed early in his career but he had big games against the best teams.

[@buenoboi5475]

My 2k guy!

[@offsetdadj1737]

He is Mississippi 🐐.. Chris Jackson da Coldest Player to ever come out the Sip…

[@ShadowVigilante]

I like that SNEAKIN BY DRAKE IN THE BACKGROUND

[@emmanuelawosusi2365]

He was cold

[@antoniomontana9517]

I agree

[@farihahaque]

what is your real name? I love your vids btw

[@stevesteven2705]

Formerly Chris Jackson. This is a great comparison. He put LSU on' a map.

[@blackcat-yj9vs]

I still have his basketball card

[@PenDragonJug]

Bruh, should be Stephen Curry, the mahmoud Abdul-Rauf of the new century

[@ceazy1861]

Chris Jackson was the shit. He went hard on himself and pushed himself to the limits

[@kappatsu3265]

its not the stephen curry of 90’s but steph curry should be abdul rauf of 20th century

[@chernellejones6753]

🙌🙌

[@bryanbrodie1056]

I've met him

[@chadcoop9638]

For those of you whom continually overrate his nba career, here is a comparison. Mookie Blaylock a really good pg in the 90s, but was a GREAT defender and not really a big threat offensively put up these career number 14.4pts 6.9ast 4.5reb 2.5st 41%fg 34%3pt The guy some of yall are saying is so great 14.6pts 3.5ast 1.9rb 0.8st 44%fg 35%3pt. And the man played four seasons with two more contracts after the anthem situation. Was not blackballed

[@jonaldgobaton8086]

Wow. Abdul still can shoot 3s. And play on 3x3

[@zaywilliams427]

i know him i heard about him

[@darrellhenderson1459]

Dude was nice

[@jamieHorman]

can someone link part 2

[@user-df4kd8nk2k]

The biggest theory in the NBA is who NBA insider is...

[@jang-sikham4796]

Wow that's sad but the funny thing Is that he looks like Dell Curry

[@liamwalsh3041]

He was born on my birthday!!

[@jonnyroldan3254]

trickshot nation no you were born on his birthday 😅

[@remimartin1925]

trickshot nation
RIP BIG

[@todoroki3579]

Where's part 2 I'm on my phone

[@BingCherry11]

I was one of the lucky people who got to see him play on tv and at an actual game! At the free throw line his touch was so "soft" that the net would hold the ball! LOL!!!!

[@freekyreek404]

I remember this growing up as a kid. I didn't boycott the NBA at the time because I wasn't mentally prepared to do such a thing. NOW I'm an adult and because I've seen this before in with the NBA, I'm READY to boycott the NFL in the way they're treating Kaepernick.

[@pooPbutwhole]

I knew this guy from nba 2k myteam

[@Idkidk55957]

I wouldn't say he was the Steph Curry.. I'd say he was the Colin Kapernick

[@YoRoyalFlynezz]

Seb Reni *Kaepernick 👍🏾

[@phenomfacemob1011]

Seb Reni what that mean?

[@miguelanthony5775]

congrats on being one of my best you tubers but dang this dude is not on curryslevel

[@hulkdaddy71]

Sorry, respectfully speaking, he's NOT the Steph Curry of the 90's. His Dad, Dell , was around then. If anything, Steph is the Adbul-Rauf of the 2010's.

[@JAYEKIDD1804]

“In middle school, Chris missed the fourth grade.” 🤦🏾‍♂️ fail

[@kellyweingart3692]

😂🤦🏼‍♀️

[@orlandojohnson5742]

He should never have been banned from the NBA!!!
He had mental issues but was a harmless player!!!!
He had Turrets syndrome ..... & OCD!!!!!! (Obsessive compulsive disorder?!) Tie his shoes over & over again etc!
Someone jealous or stupid put him under the radar & got him ousted from the NBA!!!
Kareem Abdul Jabbar got to play! But no Rauf had to be snuffed out before he could set his NBA free throw record & other!?
I make sure younger know about him!! He was 6'1 & could jump/dunk pretty good too!!
Steph is 6'3-6'4?!.....
Chris Jackson/Abdul Rauf was shorter & deadly!!!!!
6'1 .... possibly more dunks than steph in the NBA too!?
& wasn't on the smallest NBA dunker list on CZcams with muggsi as the thumbnail 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔🙄

[@mohamadalujaili2387]

i need part 2 im on the phone

[@skrynnskrylla3897]

NBA Kap SMH this shit never ends...why do people get hate for exercising their human rights?

[@stagedrama2481]

Hey bro I saw u on lakerfans stream a few days ago😏

[@cod101wiiowenjaquithoj]

If he didn't stand for the flag in today's NBA, they wouldn't care and Adam silver would let it go.

[@drew9597]

Why the hell did CZcams remove you from my subscription?

[@Nat-kl9mt]

the title should be: Stephen curry: the Mahmoud Rauf of the 90s !! Steph was nobody before him.

[@Hellamoody]

My name is also Mahmoud :)
