- Craig put up 19 in a row for his second highest score of 24, he holds the record at 25 points. He and Bird both won 3 contests in a row. This was all before the all money ball rack like they have in today's shootout.
Born during the wrong era, imagine what kind of numbers he would put up today..
He was born in the right era
He would not put up monster numbers. No evidence that he could manufacture high volume 3s at high percentages. Craig Hodges put up .400 for his career shooting only 2-3 3PA a game.
Nobody but Steph is able to consistently put up .400+ while getting his own shot off the dribble.
This guy only got to attempt two three-pointers a game. That's how different the approach was when higher percentage shots were favored even for the likes of Larry Bird. Nowadays, Hodges would've been unleashed as a spot up shooter.
wow
Exactly and that might be even worse today as a Karl Malone or Hakeem Olajuwon would be spot up 3 point shooters as well for a big part of their game
@@guillaumea5527 They'll play a bit like Giannis most likely.
MJ took all the shots,,Craig doesnt have the license to shoot...
@@dadilu7835 He only played three-and-a-half seasons w/ the Bulls.
In my opinion this is the most impressive 3 pt performance ever
It's second to none. That would make it the greatest
I mean, he scored 25 the year before
Amazing!!! Incredible!!! Amazing!! God Bless the 80's and 90's.. Times were much better..
In many ways! And I see you wrote this comment a decade ago. How do you feel about 2020? better or worse?
Hands down the best round of all time!
Best 3 point shooting performance I have ever watched on live TV
no stefon currie
@@DillPikcle - What are you even talking about. Hodges hit 21 out of 25 attempts. Hodges is the only player that has ever done that.
@@DillPikcle not even close. 19 straight from Hodges is the GOAT performance in this contest.
Many, if not most, couldn't shoot FT's this well, even in practice.
I remember watching this live. Tons of excitement when he made each one from the first three racks. I thought he was going to make all 25.
I had it in my mind that I was going to make all 25. All I could hear was the ball hitting the bottom of the net until I missed that first ball and then I heard the crowd. Thanks for the comment!
hodgeonhoops It was an unconscious performance. It was like you knew the ball was going through the net when the ball left your fingers. I'm sure the feeling was great.
Lotus Hulkenberg Yes, if you look at my form it was the same every time. Steve said "Craig had that little hop". That's the foundation of the shot, then form, and then follow through. You can tell when a shooter is going to miss by looking at those three parts of their shot. Earlier in the night when Chris Bosh made the half court shots he knew they were going in when they left his hand.
hodgeonhoops I remember going to one of your camps in San Diego like two years ago. Since then I have greatly improved my shot following your simple steps: foundation, form, followthrough. I just made my high school varsity team, and I can't thank you enough! I hope to one day be a part of the shootout too.
gg
Best shooting form i ever seen! Beautiful
Perfect jumper
Craig Hodges (born June 27, 1960) won two NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls and two NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers as a special assistant coach under his former Bulls coach, Phil Jackson. Craig Hodges and Larry Bird are the only two players to win three consecutive Three Point Contests at the National Basketball Association All-Star Weekend, winning the competition in 1990, 1991, and 1992. Hodges was runner up in 1986 and 1989. Hodges also holds the Three Point Contest records for the most consecutive shots made with 19, set in 1991, and the most points scored in a single round at 25, set in 1986. He played in the NBA for 10 seasons and led the league in 3-point shooting percentage three times. He has beat three point greats Larry Bird, Reggie Miller and Mark Price.
When the Chicago Bulls visited the White House after winning the 1992 NBA Championship, Hodges dressed in a dashiki and delivered a hand-written letter addressed to then President George H. W. Bush, expressing his discontent at the administration's treatment of the poor and minorities. Hodges also criticized his Bulls teammate Michael Jordan for not using his fame to draw attention to social and political issues, and said Jordan was "bailing out" for not being politically outspoken. In 1996, Hodges filed a $40 million lawsuit against the NBA and it’s than 29 teams, claiming they blackballed him for his association with Louis Farrakhan and criticism of "African-American professional athletes who failed to use their considerable wealth and influence to assist the poor and disenfranchised." After he was waived by the Bulls in 1992, he did not receive an offer or a tryout from a single NBA team, even though he was only 32 years old and still able to contribute to contenders. The lawsuit claimed that Bulls assistant coach Jim Clemons told him that the team was troubled by his criticism of players' lack of involvement in inner-city communities.
Man someone said he was born in the wrong era because he only got to attempt about 2 3s per game. He also is ahead of his time as a civil rights thinker...
Craig would have loved playing in the 2020s. He'd be lauded for bombing threes and speaking up about atrocities in the world. It really is sad to see remarkable people that would have been even more remarkable in a different era.
@@user-dc7um4pr3f truth!
This is the record for most consecutive 3's with 19. The next closest is 11. Think about how impressive that is.
Curry did over 100, but that was on his own time and not against a clock.
@@Flashback_Jack yep so it doesnt count might as well not even mention it
@@kirururik
Still relevant to mention it, dumbass, since the topic here was how "impressive" it is to sink consecutive threes.
That is an unforgettable sports moment. Way cool.
It's gonna be a long while before you see anyone sink 19 in a row, this performance has to be the GOAT, #CraigHodges14 #19straight
First 19!
Now check what happened.
Sabrina :)
What a great shooter!!!!
Cant stop watching this
One of my favourite sporting moments of all time gold simply gold
Made his first 19. That's ridiculous.
Just had the chance to meet this brother today!
watching this again and again..
still got amazed
Tobok Tampubolon me too
Got a picture with this guy. He loves taking pictures. He looks so old now though. Guess that's why people didn't recognize him as much.
God, I love this. If only CH had come along 15 years later...
Curry's performance ain't got shit on this.
Steph was never mentioned in this video.
he did make 105 out of 106, though, already ))
brilliant shooting and such nice form!
Love of basketball brought me here.
That backspin looks NICE!!!
With that nice shot form, I thought he would make all of them!!!
Wow ...Still remembering this moment
Greatest shooter in bulls history
Dude comes to a lot of our practices and he is still money
Best performance in the contest I've ever seen and ive watched every year since it started.
Hodges scored 24, this year's contest high was 27 WITH a full rack of money balls
Rudolf...depends on which rack he chose to be his all money ball rack.
The funny thing is that, after he was done, he looked like he was mad he didn't make all 25!!!!! LOL!!!
I would be if I was that good and I messed up the finish
This is just amazing.
I witnessed this record performance on tv... awesome display by this man
Best performance in history...
the very best are humble like this legend.
I love the crowd getting excited as he finished up the 3rd rack…..watch closely you will see his teammate Cliff Livingston jumping around in the background. I loved watching Hodges shoot when he came to the Bucks and then when he went to the Bulls. He is a 3pt ICON.
Dude was a beast at CSULB
26/30 this guy can shoot for the fate of the universe
Hodges hit 21out of 25 attempts. Hodges is the only player that has ever done that.
2030 anyone with me.. Miss those days
just amazing....
Where is the film of him making 25 points in the three point contest in 1986? Why doesn't the NBA put that out? There is film of him shooting at the end when he scored the 25 points but the whole shooting display has never been shown.
Still the G.O.A.T. Shootout performance!
This makes me wonder, though, what Hodge's score in this round would've been if he had the all-money ball rack like the Shootouts have now. Where would Craig have placed _his_ rack? Where along the line did he shoot for his highest %? It would be interesting to see.
He played in the Triangle Offense, so he shot most of his 3-pointers in the corners. If his all-money ball rack had been the 1st rack, it would’ve been an additional 4 points, making it 28. What amazes me the most is how long his 25-point 1st round in 1986 went unchallenged. Kapono tied it once, but that was in, like, 2008, haha!
All these years and I do not believe that record has been broken.
The best performance in a triple contest of all time....
Allstar weekend brought me here
hes the man in nba 2k13 i just hit a game winner with him
Steve Kerr brought me here
s/o to dead end sports
Peace fam, thanks for watching and listening to the show!
His son is my trainer i am so happy :))))
Awesome shooting
Perfect perimeter shooting action
That's a machine
Forgot how nice Hodges was. A machine on that night
imagine him in the right era he should be a legend by then
This is the greatest performance in a three-point contest EVER. I don't care that it wasn't the highest score ever, he only missed THRICE. How did he shoot under 40% from 3 that season?
Did you post this just so you could look intelligent by using the word thrice (even though he missed 4 times?)
He would have had the highest points in 3pt shoot out history if he sunk that last ball.
dats some shootinG
Underrated !!
This shit made me start laughing I couldn't believe it
Still the best performance ever!!!
Pretty dope. His book was full alot of jewels.
I've just seen a Craig Hodges throwback... Might have to cop it! #seered
Likely blackballed because of what happened with President Bush when the Bulls visited the White House after their title win in summer of '92.
19 consecutive shoots!!!
How does this only have 53,000 views? And who would thumb this down, smh.
too bad he missed all those shots in the final rack...he was perfect right until the end. Still the greatest 3 pt performance ever.
Nice Start :-)
I remember that All Star Saturday like yesterday. Dee Brown won the dunk contest. But the 3 point contest was more amazing because this man rained 3's like free throws.
dis is AMAZING...cuz i just met him 2day and i got sum advice frm him but i never knew who he was...he said google him lol..i feel dumb as hell. PURE SHOOTER...even at 50
Unbelievable you all say? I'll tell you what is really unbelievable - that not ONE SINGLE nba team ever offered him a job after he was let go from the Bulls after that season. NOT ONE TEAM EVER AGAIN was able to find a spot on their roster for such a sharp shooter. True, he wasn't a good defensive player. But the same could be said about half the league, then and now. He always felt that he was blackballed by the league for the clothes he chose to wear to the White House and now I tend to believe it more and more these days.
I think of myself as being pretty knowledgeable about NBA history, but somehow I never knew this story. I'll have to look into it more! Thanks.
In today's game he would have been snatched up instantly...... probably by the Spurs.
Horrible defense and he wasn't efficient at all his last two seasons. Daequan Cook also won the contest and he was out of the league at 25. What's his excuse? There's guys in the D League that could win the 3 point contest, it doesn't guarantee you're some unstoppable force in the NBA. So I don't buy this as evidence of league wide discrimination.
Hodges was 31 in his 10th season and his playing time was down to 9 minutes a game before he wore whatever he did to the White House. Were the Bulls preemptively discriminating against him, or was he already on his way out of the league? Whatever happened to Anthony Morrow, Boobie Gibson, Roger Mason, etc.? There's a lot of great deadeye shooters out there without contracts, because that's all they do. That seems to have been the situation with Hodges, especially in an era where 3 point shooting wasn't utilized nearly as much as it is now. Not everything is a juicy discrimination scandal.
***** huh?
Form amazing
The perfect stroke
His child teachs me at Basketball O.O
Almost make me cry
Patrick Sanders made 24/25 overseas contest.
had to check it out
WOWW!!
Sabrina Ionescu 20!
Sabrina Ionescu shorter 3-point line and basketball!
Dat Form!!
Craig Saiger has a normal suit on
After he made the last one from the top of the key people really got excited.
Won't lie, they got us in the first half.
Take note...NO MONEYBALL RACK back in the day...and he scores 24!
este hombre ha sido uno de los mejores tiradores de la historia y la nba no le permitio seguir jugando por expresar sus opiniones sobre los negros en america!
y nadie se acuerda de el, ni saben quien es
ahora esta trabajando como entrenador de tiro de los lakers.
Nineteen baskets in a fucking roll.
Hodges would've broke 30 by today's setup. This wasn't even his highest score.
i don't believe this, this men is not human
Craig Hodges is without question The greatest three-point shooter and the greatest three-point contest shooter ever the NBA has ever seen and perhaps whatever have. It is a shame how the NBA black balled him. Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson and so forth none of them came to his aide when he was being blackball from the NBA.
Unbelievable.
The Real Jet, screw Kenny Smith
my god
I saw this comment and i thought u was talking bout this year then i saw the date and it said 6 years ago rip 💀
Man, if you could have the rack with all the money balls back then...
Brilliant shooting, fell apart at the end on the opposite hand baseline trey from the left corner though.
Oh christ..he didn't fall apart. He simply got tired. He was short. So he used his legs more than most. Jumping that many times in a row will tire anyone out.
Poor guy got super rattled at the last rack though.
Thanks you Craig Hodges and Kwame Brown for caring for our Communities and rising Above Adversity!!!1
@RapMetalFan1 yeah Ray the GOAT when it comes to 3 point shooter
