  • Dalam sejarah NBA, ada beberapa pemain muslim yang punya kiprah mentereng.
  • Dua di antaranya adalah center terbaik sepanjang masa, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar dan Hakeem Olajuwon.
  • Pada masanya, keduanya menjadi pilar utama klub masing-masing.

SKOR.id - Sudah sejak lama, pemain muslim mendapat tempat dalam liga basket terbesar dunia, NBA. Bahkan, tak sedikit yang menjelma sebagai legenda.

Misalnya, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, salah satu pemain terbaik NBA. Bahkan, ia mengoleksi enam gelar MVP sepanjang karier atau sama dengan Michael Jordan.

Masih dari deretan pemain muslim berprestasi, ada pula center yang membawa Houston Rockets dua kali menjuarai NBA, Hakeem Olajuwon.

Berikut pebasket muslim dalam sejarah NBA:   

1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar punya enam titel juara NBA, satu di antaranya bersama Milwaukee Bucks dan sisanya saat memperkuat LA Lakers.

Enam gelar MVP membuktikan kedigdayaan Kareem Abdul-Jabbar di masa itu. Dan, yang tak boleh dilupakan, gerakan skyhook jadi sangat populer di NBA karenanya.

2. Hakeem Olajuwon

Para penggemar Houston Rockets, terutama di era lama, pasti tak lupa dengan Hakeem Olajuwon, yang berhasil menyumbangkan dua gelar.

Apalagi, pascaera Hakeem Olajuwon, Houston Rockets seolah kesulitan mengulang prestasi tersebut. Bahkan, saat mereka bertabur bintang. 

Kolaborasi antara Yao Ming-Tracy McGrady hingga James Harden-Chris Paul, tak kunjung membuahkan cincin juara untuk Houston Rockets.

3. Rasheed Wallace

Rasheed Wallace adalah salah satu sosok yang sukses membawa Detroit Pistons kembali menjadi juara NBA pascaera The Bad Boys.

Bersama dengan Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, dan Tayshaun Prince, ia mempersembahkan gelar NBA 2003-2004 dengan mengandaskan LA Lakers, 4-1.

4. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

Baru semusim berkiprah di NBA, Chris Wayne Jackson memutuskan memeluk agama Islam pada 1991 dan mengganti nama menjadi Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf.

Prestasi paling mentereng dari Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf di NBA adalah meraih gelar Most Improved Player (MIP) pada NBA 1992-1993.

5. Shareef Abdur-Rahim

Pemain yang memulai kiprahnya di Vancouver Grizzlies tersebut mencapai puncak kariernya saat membela Atlanta Hawks, medio 2001-2004.

Ia pun sukses menembus NBA All-Star Game pada 2002. Ketika itu, All-Star diselenggarakan di First Union Center, Philadelphia.

6. Mustapha Shakur

Jika dibandingkan dengan rekan-rekannya sesama pebasket muslim, karier Mustapha Shakur di NBA memang tak terlalu mentereng. 

Ini karena dia lebih sering bermain dalam NBA Development League (sekarang NBA G-League). Namun, Mustapha Shakur pernah direkrut OKC Thunder pada 2014.

7. Tariq Abdul-Wahad

Tariq Abdul-Wahad juga tidak memiliki karier yang terlalu menonjol. Tapi, aksinya pada NBA 1999-2000 nyaris membuat Orlando Magic, lolos playoff.

Pada musim tersebut, shooting guard berkebangsaan Prancis ini mampu membukukkan 12,2 poin per gim (PPG).
