I wanna give big props to my guy Kiki Vandeweghe, who helped me to change my shot. I feel like a young kid again! When I was young all I did was shoot the J each and every time I had the opportunity. After being named the National Basketball League’s ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2009/01/06/young-julius-is-back/ Hello everybody! I just played against the Melbourne Tigers. We played really well, we battled hard, my mid-range jumper was working and we got a tough win. Most importantly, my mindset while I'm playing here in Australia is that I look at the games to get a little more than the 25 points, ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2008/12/06/not-drinking-the-poison/ Hi everybody! Back in Australia... I had a number of offers in Europe, but the loyalty from the Adelaide 36ers' staff and the fans was tremendous and helped me in my decision. I'm a man on a mission: I'm really appreciative of the opportunity the Nets offered me and I will love in ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2008/11/19/a-man-on-a-mission/ Definitely, I'm schocked and disappointed. I didn't make the regular season roster but you know, at the end of the day I gave it 100 percent. So at the start of the next morning I knew it would still be a bright day. I spoke with Kiki Vandeweghe and he said ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2008/10/27/a-numbers-game/ Hello everybody! Just got back from our European trip. Paris is definitely is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and although I didn't play I enjoyed watching the game there. We got the win and it was definitely a good time. In London, Jay-Z showed up to our practice ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2008/10/13/thanks-kenny/ Hello everybody, We are right now in training camp and it's been a blessing for all of us. Learning from Kiki Vandeweghe and coach Lawrence Frank has been very instructive for me in terms of understanding the philosophy, the little tidbits of the offense and also the defensive sets. I think it's ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2008/10/04/ahead-of-the-game/ Hi guys, We will have to change the name of the blog in coming days to Training Camp Diary. It will not be Free Agent Diary anymore since I will no longer be a free agent at the end of the week. I'm signing a contract with the Nets in a ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2008/09/23/free-agent-no-more/ Hi guys, For the past week I've been studying the game thouroughly, learning about some great point forwards. I've watched some old tapes of Paul Pressey when he played with the Milwaukee Bucks with coach Don Nelson. I've also watched a lot of the old Grant Hill when he played brilliantly ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2008/09/06/studying-the-game/ Hi everybody, Recently I've been in contact with some urban clothing company and I thought about doing ad modeling. When I told my mom about this, she said, "You will not do any underwear modelling, right? And remember that you have to focus on your jump shot to make the Nets' ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2008/08/27/always-listen-to-your-moms-advice/ Hi guys, First of all, I want to thank all my fans for reading the blog.
