    Great player and probably not the monster the media the media made him out to be, but he made his bed. I believe he was black balled. You don't get to use your employer to further your favorite cult's retarded ideology, especially in the NBA. You want to play Louis Farrakhan, do it on your own time.

    Yes, true freedom should only be conducted through conformity. Those who choose to stand up for their beliefs should be shunned/blackballed when it doesn't fit the "mold" of the populous?

    Isn't that the real U.S. of A.?

    I still say Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf is the best shooter I've ever seen. Bought tickets to games just to see him play. He got a raw deal. Way too much criticism for taking a principled stand.

    He's also the best free throw shooter in NBA history.

    Playing advocate, but wouldnt that said true freedom also give the owners/teams the right to blackball him if/when they saw fit. NBA employment is a privledge and not a right and therefore those signing the checks (the owners) have the right to blackball him if they see his behavior/beliefs as having a negative impact on there business.

    I agree. But my reply wasn't about if NBA owners have the "freedom" to fire someone they deem a negative influence on their teams, because of course they do.

    My reply was because of the bold print in this post:

    He wasn't looking for attention. He was just being true to himself. Seems like he's taking accountability for his actions, but also disappointed in the response from the NBA and the American sheeple.

    Why is he "warming up" in the video at age 42? Is he playing in a pro league somewhere?
