RIP and he was the younger brother of Shareef Abdur Rahim who plated with Memphis and Atlanta in the NBA.

He also was an assistant coach at Georgia.

Younger brother of former Atlanta Hawk Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

The name sounded familiar and it looked like he had South Florida on the rise this past year. What a shame to hear and so young.
