Craig Hodges Tried To Get Jordan And Magic To Boycott 1991 NBA Finals Game

[blacktux]

Jordan didnt speak because he didnt give a fuck.

Its hard to back peoples stance up when they risk everything then turn around and make excuses for comfortable negroes.

Hodges' suggestion didn't fly, however, as Jordan told him he was "crazy" while Johnson said, "That's too extreme, man."

lol @ not playing a basketball game being "too extreme". He was crazy for even bothering to ask Jordan though.

Shit set the precedent for the bullshit the clippers pulled after the donald sterling tape.

Boycott game 1 of the finals? I mean I dont see any problem with them continuing on with their jobs. I dont think you can really satisfy or worry about anyone who has a problem with them for that. They can make up their own minds. Also I think its interesting he pointed out the lack of Black Nba team owners. There are other ways to address that than protesting...like actually continuing and becoming one yourself-example Jordan and his stake in Charlotte.People love to jump to conclusions but the 2 biggest stars in the league boycott the finals? I mean...

If anybody can relate to Don King then its Jordan. Jordan took them hard foul beatings by Detroit for a few years. If he was to rewind time tho, I think he would have boycott game 1 since they lost that game........then again, maybe history would not have recorded the legendary hangtime layup

Ive always known craig got blackballed from the league and always respected him.

But he was tripping with this one though

"Get off me #2."

 

[Beta]

No niggas

 

[Trollio]

Jordan dont care about niggas

 

[leftcoastkev]

Lol look at his face. Where his other arm at though. Didn't even hug the nigga back....

Look like he saying "please don't touch me. I wish I was somewhere else"

Later on he probably dismissed it like "yeah yeah I let the bitch nigga hug me and move on"

 

[ThaNubianGod]

Calling bullshit on this. The RK beating was way back in March of that year, and no one in LA was thinking about a boycott for the Finals. It was all Magic v MJ talk. Everyone assumed out here that those cops would be found guilty since the shit was on tape.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Idk bout that fam....we needed that 91 ship

 

[Stew]

Niggas in LA would've been pissed if they didn't play that game :joy: if anything that was a reason to get away from the bullshit even it was for only a few hours.

 

[blackrain]

Jordan's "Fuck Bush" comment in the article made me laugh for some reason

 

[Maywood]

Hodges would always tell/ask Jordan to take a political stand..Jordan would always decline..two different cats w/two different agendas...Craig was wearing Dashikis n shhh to the white house when it wasn't in style ...Idk gotta respect hodges for his beliefs

 

[dalyricalbandit]

wouldve prob had a riot at the game if they didnt play u know how much tickets to a playoff cost? now add to the fact its Magic vs Michael playin
