Jordan worked his entire life for these finals and to win them and become champion.

I Am King you make the word Marxist seem bad. It’s not! It takes courage to take a stand on social, and political issues. It’s even more courageous when you know that stance is unpopular. Hence; Craig showing up to the White House in African attire. Aw, yeah, which got him black balled. So regardless, if he scores 3 points or 30 that’s irrelevant and has no barren on his stance to make a stand. In closing, you only get so many shots when MJ is your team mate. If you you been paying attention he made it abundantly clear he don’t want no one else taking the last shot but him. Craig Hodges has the record for consecutive made threes in the three point contest. I threw that in for free.

Agreed for Craig Hodges to spout Spirituality and then say he was salty about MJ not endorsing Gant shows a lack of Spirituality in my book. He sounds more bitter than anything else which again is not a characteristic of one's spiritual enlightenment. No one is perfect and MJ was a grown man when his Mother asked him to support that candidate and has the right to choose as an American and as a man his path.

As a Bulls fan, I loved Hodges when he played for us. I get what he is saying, but there are levels to the political game while being a professional. A professional athlete's "platform" doesn't truly belong to them. They think they have ownership, but in reality they don't. Today's athletes parlay their political activism to push their brand and they have a VERY supportive media engine behind them (including a political party). Lebron's political motivations were constantly supported by the media because it was SJW nonsense. But when the China stuff happened, he got exposed. MJ was smart enough to use his success to become a billionaire and support who he likes behind the scenes. Athletes can go out and support whatever cause or politician that they see fit, but when you bring it to work and act out in front of the fans, you should expect push back.

Regarding the comment of Scottie being selfish, Scottie was right to be frustrated with the management about his contract and he should've been the 2nd highest paid player in the league at that time but he was selfish in what he did. Choosing to have the surgery after the off season hurt the team and like Jordan said, it wasn't going to make Jerry change his mind about the contract which made Pippen's decision pointless.

This is for the young generation that are unaware how the rift between Michael Jordan and Craig Hodges came about. Back in the day young brother's & Sisters wanted to wear Michael Jordan sneakers, But the prices were to high and they couldn't afford Mike's sneakers. The backlash & Consequences was JACKING and Killing over Mike's sneakers in Chicago. Craig Hodges is Muslim and thought Mike should ask nike to lower the price of the shoes to make them affordable for black kids, But mike didnt ask nike to lower the prices and kids kept jacking & Getting killed over Jordan brand shoes. The real beef is Craig Hodges is a spiritual brotha who wanted to fight for black poor people intrest and Jordan is a capitalist to make a long story short. Craig Hodges was a 3 times defending champion 3 point shooter, But after he got in the beef with Michael Jordan he was cut from the nba league and no nba team picked him up after he won two championship titles with the Chicago bulls. My opinion is, we live in times where spirituality and doing the right things will not triumph over making profits & capitalism and this is the great divide between moral vs. Immoral. There is an old question, " Can you do the right thing when no one is looking", because this is the very essence of living a good righteous life.
