hodges competed in the three point contest at the 1993 nba all-star weekend as a free agent after he was waived by the bulls in 1992 and did not sign with an nba team for the 1992–93 season. the nba initially left him off the field of contestants as he was not on an nba roster at the time, but eventually allowed him to defend his 1992 title. hodges wore a generic "nba" jersey in the contest. hodges was eliminated after the semifinal, finishing behind eventual winner mark price and terry porter.
