Bull of the Day: Craig Hodges

Craig Hodges remains one of the few Chicago Bulls this side of Dennis Rodman is known more for his off the court personality rather than his on-court performance. Unlike Rodman, Hodges focused on many civil rights issued, which led him to believe that he was "blackballed" from the NBA.



Whether or not such is true, Hodges was a knockdown three point shooter in an era that came up without a three point line, making his ability even more unique for the time period. Hodges also won three consecutive three point championships and played a small roll on the 1990-91 NBA Champion team. The following year, Hodges played in just 56 games during the regular season and averaging only 8.1 minutes per game in the playoffs. He was cut in the offseason.

Hodges' three point prowess would be even more appreciated today in an NBA that values efficient shots and three point shooting more than it ever has before.

This video was uploaded by him, and it is too sick.
