Craig Hodges challenges Michael Jordan’s portrayal of Bulls teammates

During the aftermath of The Last Dance documentary, Craig Hodges expressed his dissatisfaction with how Michael Jordan depicted their Chicago Bulls teammates from the 1980s.

“It was disappointing to hear that from Mike,” Hodges said, emphasizing that such comments painted an inaccurate and damaging picture of their former teammates.

He added that many of the team members had grown personally and professionally, and the documentary’s portrayal ignored their improvement and dedication through the years.

Hodges argued that The Last Dance should have celebrated the collective effort that led to the Bulls’ dynasty, not just one man’s perspective on the team’s past issues.
