John Salley Compares Colin Kaepernick Blackballing to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (Part 13)

[@ddavis8988]

Phil Jackson said Chris Jackson was Steph before Steph and people shitted on him for saying that. He was telling the truth.

[@llivinllive]

He was definitely ahead of his time much respect ✊🏾

[@2160michael]

Why aren’t people mad that the NBA blackballed Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf? I never hear about this, only Kaepernick.

[@vernongoolsby851]

Damn I thought everyone knew about this lol

[@rastabuggie7239]

You a young nigga if you didnt know that

[@willybeeman8468]

(Black) people are/have been mad about it! If white people actually cared more, something would be done, but if it’s black people speaking out about it, to white peoples ears it just sounds like we’re complaining.

I been waiting for somebody to make this comparison in the media ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[@boignyflynn2653]

Mahmoud was one the greatest scorers in NCAA basketball history. He averaged 40 points at LSU with Shaq as the starting freshman center. He was Steph Curry before Steph Curry!

[@TheRunner4health]

Totally was Curry before Curry!!!

[@369pendulum]

He didnt average 40 you idiot!

[@terrancemoore1776]

Boigny Flynn 1988-89 was Chris Jackson freshman year he average 30 points a game. 89-90 only year with Shaq he averaged 28ppg.

[@sirjer73]

[@99ville]

Kap being blackballed is minor compared to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, he was blackballed for standing for his religious beliefs. Remember the part about “freedom of religion”?

[@BiGGCaiN24]

99ville freedom to protest (peaceful assembly) is the first amendment also bro

[@BaldwinFanonGarveyTureShakurX]

He actually said it was for the same thing Kaepernick said. But he also said it was for religious beliefs due to the oppression it represents. Lol

[@localone1597]

Mahmoud was super. I remember in college he had a 50 point game. His game was more shack and bake. Unstoppable. What I remember is he would stay in the tunnel. Then naturally one day a reporter asked why. Most people can't fathom sacrifice like him, Craig Hodged, Kaepernick, Ali, Curt Flood and some others. However, what do these men have in common, the same color.

[@thelakeelsinorespecial1796]

Salley is telling the truth. I remember that dude shooting out the game! back in the 90's!

[@brotherLee340]

Abdul Rauf kneeled in 96..and went on to play a few more years in the NBA. True enough his stance may have affected him in the long run. He wasn't run out the league immediately. It's a little different than Kap

[@freddycalipari4242]

He was out before his prime. He also lost on roles where he was heavily featured he became a role player lol do your research. Kaep was a washed up qb

[@rodjohnson6408]

He spoke out against the united states "greatest ally", and you know NBA owners couldn't have that

[@256ceo]

Chris Jackson LSU!

[@marvinhagler4721]

The man was the TRUTH..look him up for those of yall too young to remember..or not born yet

[@mrmaxxx94]

John Sally told it straight here and no faking the funk

[@rodjohnson6408]

Abdul-Rauf made his protests solitary, with hardly any popular support. He even spoke his mind and truth to power in 2001about neineleven (something that takes true courage and integrity) it cost him the contract the Knicks were going to sign him to, as well as being what really earned him the blackballing. Kaepernek had Nike and half the nation behind him, he doesn't compare imho

[@whiteclouds26]

Exactly

[@corsel6911]

Thank you John Salley, I enjoyed watching you ball growing up. But I love listening to you talk and observing you think

[@Zo_1987]

Mahmoud was a STEPH wit a 40in vertical too, dont forget he was in the 1993 Dunk contest 💯

[@pabloenrikay]

Ima go ahead and say it..... Abdul was a wayyyy more lethal shooter than Steph. I remember him dropping like 50 on MJs bulls in the early 90s. LIterally was shooting from all over the floor... everything went in.

[@MKDAVIS323]

Jackson, his name was Chris Jackson! (Before he legally changed it) And he was nice! Used to give MJ the work!

[@robertobravo5732]

If CK dropped the lawsuit, would he get signed?

[@localone1597]

The NBA is no different than the NFL. The only difference is guaranteed contracts. You'll get paid at least all your money. As far as the owners, there's no difference. And that includes Jordan.

[@Moose-iz1uo]

Good interview

[@Alexz_Archivz]

I remember, he DID NOT SIT DOWN, he used to cover his face with both his palms during the anthem.

[@grayslim6194]

Mahmoud was the truth when he was in the NBA, I was a little kid but I do remember

[@rpgroome]

John’s telling of Mahmoud is factually inaccurate. He was a big star at LSU and kind of looks like a smaller Steph Curry, but his NBA stats are closer to Del Curry. He never made an all star game and continued to play for 2 more years after the anthem controversy before signing with Europe, then came back and played one more year with the Grizzlies. His “blackballing” consisted of a one game suspension.

[@LibbyEdwards100]

We cant forget about Craig Hodges who was also blacked ball by The NBA.

[@nategreen9348]

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf AKA Chris Jackson was one of my 5 favorite players of all time

Established in 85 the end of him was when he gave that letter to President Bush talking about the issues of the low income communities when they won the championship during their visit
