Stand, showing now on Showtime (and perhaps streaming elsewhere now or soon)….
“Raw and unflinching examination of the courageous life of basketball star and social justice activist Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf. Born Chris Jackson, he overcame tremendous adversity to reach the NBA and found his true calling when he converted to Islam. His decision not to stand for the national anthem, however, turned him from prodigy to pariah. Told candidly by Abdul-Rauf himself more than 20 years later it’s the remarkable story of one man who kept the faith and paved the way for a social justice movement.”
I forgot how good….unstoppable at times….this kid was at LSU (averaged 30 points a game as a true freshman) and later in the NBA…lots of basketball video of his game in this documentary at both levels….if he was a senior in HS now there’s no telling what his NIL value would be or if he would be rated a 6-star in our current 1 to 5-star rating system.
One of the best documentaries I’ve seen in awhile. I highly recommend it…
