About this episode
On this edition of The Mighty, MeidasTouch co-founder Ben Meiselas interviews world-renowned basketball player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, who first caught the nation’s attention in 1988 as a Louisiana State University freshman sensation. Abdul-Rauf was drafted 3rd overall by the Denver Nuggets and quickly became one of the NBA’s top scorers. Despite topping the leaderboards, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf’s NBA career came to a sudden halt after he decided he would no longer stand for the national anthem to protest systemic oppression and racism. Abdul-Rauf soon found himself shunned by the league and effectively forced out of the NBA. Abdul-Rauf tells his compelling story in his new autobiography, In the Blink of an Eye , published by Kaepernick Publishing, which is available to order right now.
