Did Knicks president Phil Jackson’s wild comparison of Stephen Curry to former Denver Nuggets point guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf work in the Zen Master’s favor?
Not really. But Abdul-Rauf has posted on Instagram a photo of himself and Knicks point guard Jerian Grant completing a workout at the Knicks’ training headquarters in Tarrytown. Abdul-Rauf, formerly named Chris Jackson during his spectacular LSU days, also is pictured posing with Liberty president Isiah Thomas at the facility.
According to an NBA source, Abdul-Rauf is working out solely with Grant, the rookie who had a big finish to an otherwise mediocre rookie season.
