ABOUT
Craig 
Hodges

Craig Hodges is an American retired professional basketball player and former head coach of the Westchester Knicks of the NBA Development League. He played 10 seasons in the NBA and led
the league three times in 3-point shooting percentage. Craig won two NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, and along with Larry Bird, is one of only two players to win three consecutive
Three Point Contests at the National Basketball Association All-Star Weekend, winning the competition in 1990, 1991, and 1992. Hodges also holds the Three Point Contest records for the most consecutive shots made with 19, set in 1991, and the most points scored in a single round at 25, set in 1986. He was later a head coach at Chicago State University, an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers and head coach of the Halifax Rainmen of the National Basketball League of Canada. In order to make the world a better place, Craig vision is resolving racism, militarism and economic exploitation.


In 1992 after winning the national championship, the Chicago Bulls was invited to the Whitehouse and Hodges gave President George H.W. Bush a letter demanding that he address the issues plaguing Black people. This was also during the Rodney King issue with the police. Craig was blacklisted by the Whitehouse and banned from the NBA. This ban with the NBA costed him $40 - $50 million dollars. As we see today, many athletes and commentators of all
race in multiple sports are able to make bold statements, share political views, wear what they want and keep their sports job and career. Hodges did not have that privilege.
