Muhammad Ali died

Here's the quote:



Naturally, the response from Trump (and Denny) was: "Oh yeah? List those sports heroes."

It's a vast understatement to say that he missed the point.

Clearly Obama meant ALL of our neighbors and ALL of our coworkers and ALL of our sport heroes and ALL of our men and women in uniform who are defending our country are Muslims. What else could he have possibly meant? Silly Obama.

You people disgust me.....

You can't spell Shareef Abdur-Rahim? He played for us!

Yeah when I lived in NY and it was the Jail BLazers, lol. I barely was able to catch a game

Kinda got lost in this thread....... but are you guys asking about Muslim basketball players? Anybody remember Chris Jackson out of LSU? When he was with the Nuggets, I remember him converting to Islam and he changed his name Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf.
I remember him getting into a ton of shit, because he would put his hands out and pray during the national anthem.
He was a great story actually..... had dealt with turrets as well.

This is who I was thinking of. Not Shareef. Thanks HCP. I couldn't place him, but I think this is the most famed of all NBA players because of the very controversy HCP mentions.
