👀 MJ Got Free Ferraris. Craig Got Blackballed.

How’s it going, welcome back to The Smoke Signal 💨, the official newsletter of All The Smoke.

This week, we sat down with a real one, Craig Hodges. NBA champ, sharp shooter, truth teller. He ain’t just known for letting it fly from deep, but for standing on business when it mattered most.

We get into everything: the letter he wrote to President Bush that changed his career, why hooping to Stevie made his jumper automatic, and what made MJ and Kobe lead so differently. Craig dropped jewels on activism, legacy, and how speaking out came with a price tag, but no regrets.

Let’s get into it.

As always, appreciate y’all — Matt & Stak
