On the latest episode of Neat and Unfiltered, Kenyon and Kiss are joined by Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf. After struggling with Tourette Syndrome at an early age, Abdul-Rauf gave himself the drive and enough reps to go to LSU and have one of the greatest freshman seasons in NCAA History. A lengthy NBA career included a lot more than just basketball, including his decision not to stand in a "dignified posture" during the National Anthem.

21:45 - Abdul Rauf's decision to leave the NBA after his sophomore season and having no regrets becoming a professional athlete to provide for his family.
25:45 - Entering the NBA and not having the success he was used to right away, and ultimately changing his name after becoming the NBA's Most Improved Player.
30:10 - The NBA's policy on standing and addressing the flag for the National Anthem became a subject of controversy long before Colin Kaepernick, and Abdul Rauf details his thought process while navigating repercussions from the NBA.
