Hey, Julius. You were my favorite player for NC State, and I have been keeping my eye on you in your professional career. Last year I picked up the video game NBA live 07, and in that game the best a player’s ranking can be is a 99. They can be ranked from 1-99. You were at 66, which disturbed me, so I got you up to a 92 and then won the NBA championship with you leading the way. In the championship game you had 44 points, 5 rebounds, 21 assists and 4 steals. You also hit an impressive 8/12 for 3-pointers. But you did commit 8 turnovers and 4 player fouls. 21-8 isn’t a very bad assist-turnover ratio, though, is it? I would take it!

Isn’t it weird knowing that you are in a video game?

Hope things go well in New Jersey.

-Thomas

Hey Julius,

If you’re studying the great point forwards - what about Scottie Pippen?!

Hey Julius - just found your blog, great stuff.
Letting you know that you picked up a bunch of fans during your time with the Adelaide 36ers - awesome balling, and we’d love to see you back in Oz - but you deserve to be in the Show.
Good luck, and you’ve got plenty of support from down under …

hmmm… In my 2k8 celtics franchise [ ] I signed you as back-up for Ray Allen, you are my sixth-man now, in the middle of the season with 14ppg, best scorer of the bench and 4th best in the team (maybe MIP award ?) I hope you will play as good or even better for nets this year… I know this post is idiotic, I just had to say it

Best of luck man

Lots of new players on the Nets, lots of potential, maybe some surprises. I hope you are one of the surprises. It will take everything you’ve got in camp, pre-season and practices to get playing time. It is a crowded roster. I wish you the best of luck!

Wow, I’m so glad that you got my letter! I still collect your cards religiously and I am wishing you the best. When you make the Nets, I can’t wait for you to come and play the Mavs so I can see you live! Thanks for being such a great role model, Julius!
