Michael Jordan drew attention to himself when the six-time retired Chicago Bulls NBA champion shooting guard confirmed his former team during his rookie season in 1984-85 was a “traveling cocaine circus” during the first episode of ESPN's 10-part ongoing docu-series The Last Dance.

Not everybody is receiving the label positively, including former Bulls teammate Craig Hodges.

Hodges, 59, a two-time champion with the Bulls in the early-1990's, drew ire with Michael Jordan's comments, noting the five-time NBA MVP has teammates with families watching the program and unintentionally asking new questions into the people's lives.

Per Dan Santaromita in NBC Sports Chicago:

“That bothered me because I was thinking about the brothers who are on that picture with you who have to explain to their families who are getting ready to watch this great Michael Jordan documentary event and they know you’re on the team, and now you’ve got to explain that to a 12-year-old boy,” Hodges said.

Hodges wasn’t with the Bulls at the time of that story, which was Jordan’s rookie year of 1984-85. Hodges joined the Bulls in 1988 and was on the Bulls’ first two title teams. He won the 3-point contest at All-Star weekend three straight years from 1990-1992.

Hodges shared a backcourt with Jordan for three-plus seasons, mostly coming off the bench during the Bulls' first threepeat season. ESPN's The Last Dance has been chronicling, with two episodes every Sunday, Chicago's 1997-98 season and pursuit of a sixth title in eight years, recalling Jordan's legendary NBA career, too, including the unseemly beginning with the bad Bulls team early into his professional tenure.
