Getting your player ready...
In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Mike Singer chats with former Nuggets guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf following the release of his Showtime documentary “Stand.” Among the topics discussed:
-
- Abdul-Rauf talk about his rise above meager beginnings in Gulfport, Miss., and what basketball did for him as a young man who grew up in poverty in a single-family home.
- Mike and Abdul-Rauf explore the circumstances around his exile from the NBA after declining to stand for the national anthem prior to games, including his interactions with the league, teammates, fans and media.
- Abdul-Rauf reflects on his time in Denver, both in the community and on the court, as well as his relationship with the Nuggets franchise. He also addresses what he thinks would be an adequate apology from the league given the abrupt end to his career.
