站

这个迷人的传记应该宽容和救赎的教训。在站马哈茂德·拉乌夫的生活和事业与同情,转达了勇气和正直。作为一个孩子和年轻人他经历了巨大的贫穷,经常有狩猎松鼠和鸟类。但是他确实发现对篮球的爱。更糟糕的是,他也被诊断出患有妥瑞氏综合征,但说他的条件是一个大的一部分让他这样一个伟大的球员。abdul rauf继续成为一个高中篮球感觉和路易斯安那州立大学的明星球员。他在路易斯安那州立大学的第二年,奥尼尔加入他,得到了第一手的拉乌夫的能力作为一个控球后卫,射击和组织者。abdul rauf“篮篮之前咖喱咖喱”,曾连续283次罚球。其他NBA球星过去和现在,史蒂芬咖喱,罗斯则,和史蒂夫·科尔继续赞美abdul rauf,哀叹他的职业生涯是如何不公平地剪短。

拉乌夫的NBA生涯结束后,他决定不再代表国歌。尽管他只是默默抗议历史暴力,种族主义者,和often-at-war的国家美国,美国人,粉丝和公众指责(类似于科林Kaepernick发生了什么),要求abdul rauf不再在NBA打球。这部影片指出,我们经常忘记从未唱第三节“星条旗永不落”,如何明确种族主义和愿望生病和死亡对所有“奴隶”。Further, Abdul-Rauf's house was burned down by the KKK, thousands of hateful letters and racist and Islamophobic abuse went his way, often threatening his life. Within a short period, no NBA team wanted to sign him (even though when the Denver Nuggets traded him, he was their top scorer). And despite Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Malcom X similarly converting to Islam before him, Abdul-Rauf faced great misunderstanding and was unfairly treated. But his legacy remains today as a lesson of how ignorant and small-minded people can be, and how now, with the help of social media and the power of the internet, many Americans see the error of their ways and continue to come up to him to apologize for their past behavior, beliefs, and intolerance.
