Matt Roush says...
A sports documentary profiles the life and pro basketball career of Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (born Chris Jackson in Gulfport, Mississippi), who rose out of poverty and combated Tourette’s Syndrome to become an NBA star. After converting to Islam and changing his name in the 1990s, Abdul-Rauf became a lightning rod for controversy when he refused to stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner” in protest for what he declared was America’s long history of oppression. Among those recalling his legacy: Stephen Curry, Steve Kerr, Shaquille O’Neal, Ice Cube and Oscar winner Mahershala Ali.
