He has a PhD on bball....you recognize someone who really loves the game when after retirement still playing, teaching and in good shape. Congrats bro

He played 2 years at LSU, averaged 30 both seasons, and scored 50 or more 5 times. Truly unbelievable.

Gotta respect a guy who learned how to make the ball come back to him because he practiced alone.

Mahmoud Abdul Rauf was destined to be one of the greatest shooting guards of all time had he not been blackballed by the the NBA due of his personal faith & convictions. He's a pure shooter and fun to watch in & outside the 3 point line. His time with the Nuggets was short and sweet. Such a shame the NBA's heavily involled in politics. Kudos to you sir for having integrity & still sharing your love for the game. 👍

people dont know - what he did was like kaepernick- 30 years ago. he gave up his career for what he believed in. should have been an all star player

"If it don't go in all net.... it dont count" -Abdul-Rauf

The best pure shooter of all time. ALL TIME....and the best teacher FOR shooting. Amazing guy.

Mahmoud a legend

As a child.... My favorite shooter to watch in the NBA! He will always be the greatest shooter to play the game....in my eyes. 95% percent free throw shooter!...unheard of Brother Mahmoud Abdul Rauf.....LEGEND!!!💯💪🏿✊🏿

In my book, the greatest shooter of all time!

Dude was Curry before Curry but more athletic. He would be a Super star today with how the game is played.

One of the best shooter NBA or basketball in general has ever seen.

Peace to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf. I wish him well in life.

one of the greatest shooters of all time

49 years old and still in shape to compete on the court it’s amazing

He looks like he came out of war and he's giving us a shooting lesson with full composure.

That’s the best shooting advice I’ve ever watched explaining form etc..I’m so happy to see Mahmoud is relaxed, no more uncomfortable turrets, and content. In today’s game with smaller lineups, open offenses with movement, along with fast breaks he would be one of the top scorers in the NBA. Yes, he was Steph Curry before Curry only faster and an even better handle.

This gentleman is a pioneer and a basketball savant. Thank you for the wisdom sir. I've watched him go at Michael Jordan and countless others. Hands down one of the purest shooters ever!!!! Thank you for posting this.🙏

The G.O.A.T. in terms of shooting! If you could watch Caesar conquering Europe in real time this is what Rauf looked like when he was dominating the world of basketball. So happy I watched the game in his prime in the 90s. :)

this man would have been a mega star in todays League

My favourite player ever

One of the greatest scorers in his shortened time ...definitely a true role model of work ethic and standing up for his God

I love to see him back! He was a great player for the Denver Nuggets. I am glad I had the chance to see him play against the Houston Rockets when I was in America.

Watched him at Lsu. He was unbelievable!

One of the great nba scorers. Could flat out get his shot off with no rush or pressure. When he was hot he was there with the best of them. Great player. Would love to learn more from himb.

I wish he played more time in the NBA

One of the best to put in work.... Mahmoud was a BEAST... and did it all with an affliction... although some may say the Tourette’s may have actually helped his game because he couldn’t leave the gym until the ball, the floor, EVERYTHING had to FEEL right before He could leave... He said in an interview that the shot not only had to fall, the NET had to flick the same way after the ball went through or He couldn’t leave the gym... A class act, one of the greats... got railroaded out of the league on some Kapernick type garbage... but that’s another story... He would very likely lead the league in free throw percentage and scoring if He were still playing today....

A real technician. One of the first of his kind. Incredibly insightful

5:31 when you're so good, you focus on the part of the rim that will bounce the ball back to you when you make it...

*I'm sending this video to Lonzo Ball*

During his time at LSU, I don't remember a single shot that he missed. Yes, I know he missed a few, but I don't remember them. Favorite college player... ever.

My favorite shooter of all time!! 🔥🔥🔥

I miss you, and the NBA misses you, Rauf. Your kind of talent and desire is still needed.

A great pearson and a legend

I respect and love this brother! A true example of a Black Man!

Mahmoud Abdul Rauf doesn't just make the shot, he makes it in a way that makes the ball come back to him so he doesn't go chase after it. That's levels.

He got a classic shooting style.

man, that's beautiful form!!

Proud to see people remember Abdul-Rauf for standing tall on his convictions. Gives me hope that, despite the immediate backlash, athletes of this era who take a stand will be looked back on as heroes.

Mahmoud Abdul Rauf is one of the best basketball players to ever play the game. He’s in my top 5 all-time NBA players. He’s definitely THE BEST college player I’ve ever seen play at that level.

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED AND DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER.

I used to hate when he was playing for the Nuggets because he used to always get open and bang a shot. He was so good at getting to his shot. And it was robotic on how accurate he was. I hate he got black balled by them hypocrites. Mississippi native like I am, also. God bless you bro. Thank you for showing us how to truly how to stick to your beliefs.

Alhamdulillah. I am happy for this brother. Walking perseverance.

Man, his ability to EXPLAIN technique is next level.

GOAT. Born 25 years too soon.

love it. 100% know you're in the right rhythm when you're shooting by yourself and it's rolling right back. perfect feels

This is great fundamental information on the the “why” in shooting. Keep them coming.

The doctor of shooting! Love it!

I have so much respect for Mahmoud.

every word is so true. Thank you for sharing this. Great to see you still shooting so brillant!

So much respect for this man!!!!!!!!

Bro, been digging you since your LSU days...You've always had one of the most consistent forms of any jump shooter ever.... awesome!

One of my favorite guards of all time. Lethal handles and exquisite court vision.

I am a fan of his game even better how he stood on his principles!

HE is so brillant and he said it all. Listen to this fantastic person and amazing shooter. he has still the perfect shot. Thanks a lot and all the best to you MAR!

Who needs the nba when you have Mahmood Abdul Rauf!

best instructional shooting video I have seen. thank you.

🙏🏾Thanks for your tips and advice. Blessings Legend. 🙏🏾

Yes one the smoothest PLAYER(not just guards) I've ever seen, always under control dribbling the ball, shooting the jump shot(long or short range), repeated technique at foul line, and a bit of nasty if necessary (small but never afraid). Please keep teaching the game, outstanding role model👏👏.

Mahmoud will still bust dat arse...I seen it 1st hand in Ice Cubes 3on3 league.

Great video my brotha!✊🏾

Thanks Mah you´re a MASTER ,those fundamentals were excellents for everyone and for my children who like to play basketball

I love this brother.

what a legend , thanks for that some great info there

This dude had the original crossover as Chris Jackson at LSU. It was so Nasty you almost didn’t see him do it and had to go through a replay to see it!!!

The greatest shooter of all time. The NBA white balled one of the greatest basketball players to play the game.

Definitely a legend, yall kids better do homework on this man

The world needs more sportsmen like Rauf, Kapernick and Ali. In years to come, society will view Rauf and Kaep as enlightened, conscientious Americans who paid a great price for the greater good of their country.

Ma sha Allah,he is so inspirational....wish he could be my personal coach

That was a great breakdown about what you need to know about how to shoot a basketball accurately. Good tip about how to grip the ball with your shooting hand, and where to place your off hand. I see many teenage players put their off hand fingers BEHIND the ball as they load up to shoot. This leads to shooting the ball with both hands, and not as accurate as possible. You also noted you have to develop muscle memory by shooting the ball many, many times. This man is a great shooter, and he is telling you how he does it for free. I wish I had KZfaq when I was a teenager just learning basketball. I got most of my instruction from basketball books. Not even close to what you get from KZfaq.

This KZfaq algorithm is working today. One of my favourite players from the 90's. Gave Jordan and the Bulls hell up in Denver.

All the youngsters out there really pay attention to what he said at the end. when you are shooting by yourself you really want to be around 90%. I’ve seen really good shooters time and time again, shooting by themselves and it’s almost like they can’t miss.

Seems like a really good dude. I appreciate him and this video.

nothing but respect for this man

This was excellent. This is my top 3 favorite point guards of ALL TIMES!!

One of the greatest shooters to ever have walked this earth. Look up the percentages. Don’t just take my word for it. If Mahmoud is talking about shooting, I’m listening.

Phenomenal shooter watch a lot his games.

Great Video. Great Video!

He looks like he could still play in today's NBA. Great video.

beatiful atrist the shot, dedication, passión, comitmit

CJackson is a machine.

Still love Mahmoud in Sac.

My favorite player growing up him rod Strickland and Kenny Anderson

My favorite player growing up. Being a 5’10” and light-skinned point guard, in the south, who better to emulate. I was no where close to being as good but he was definitely inspirational.

Legend.

Confidence is everything and always think you gonna make the next one regardless of how many you've missed in a row.

My favorite player when I was a kid. Great shooter

Nothing but pure wisdom

Legend he is!

Goat status achieved!

This is priceless!

I had the fortunateness to meet him at a basketball tournament., He was amazing, his best play, he crossed up this dude at half court and then at half court spinned and took a fade away shot splash, whole area went berserk

Great shooting technique 🏀👌

Thats the man right there

Perfect!

A legend

That was elite level game right there

1:40 when he said about shooting with your palm. that was a major key...

Great video. Would help tremendously to have some wider shots when showing Raul's amazing form... Fantastic!

Great lesson, great character.
