Craig Hodges had the best three-point percentage in the NBA three times, and won the NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest three times. But the Chicago native wasn't invited to the Windy City's All-Star Weekend this past season. 

He was a key member of the early Chicago Bulls dynasty, but was not featured in The Last Dance, nor contacted about participating. 

Hodges has every reason to believe he has been blackballed by the NBA for his activism, which included giving a letter to then-president George H.W. Bush during this championship White House visit in the early 1990s. 

He tells Vik his story, and it is a story that's become more relevant than ever.
