Thanks for sharing your life experiences and mainly having the courage to speak TRUTH to power and Standing up for injustice! You risked it ALL, but showed that your SOUL has no pricetag!! I have 'Much Love' for you my brother. Peace!!
I met Craig Hodges at a basketball event at UIC back in 1991. I had made 30 3 pointers in a row. I was also blindfolded for the last 5. He said I was the greatest shooter he’d ever seen and I would make it to the nba at 17 if I really tried. So the next yr I decided to grow 14 inches, and did. Just before the NBA combine I got a call from my dad. He said I had to return home and help with the farm. So I left
Too bad the NBA didn't know how valuable those 3 point shots were back then, they explain 100% of his positive +/- as a back up to Jordan. Imagine the league's best stand still 3 point shooter going unemployed in his prime! Madness. That's why those golden great teams would be pummeled vs an NBA team today. They would just NOT shoot enough 3s to win the game.
