I want to say the lyrics of a Gucci Mane, Lil’ Wayne, and/or Jay-Z song is the reasoning for their mindset, which innately propelled these two distinguished men into this situation. I would like ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2010/01/05/that-was-dumb/ I want another shot at the NBA! My agent has been communicating with a couple of NBA teams so far but as of today my #1 objective right now is to keep BBCD in Pro A. I have been given here an opportunity to excel on the court, good coaching, and a ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2009/04/19/another-shot/ We're on a three-game losing streak right now, but we're still optimistic that we can turn it around. We've had a couple of injuries, but I'm sure we'll improve. My first four games, it was really a challenge for me to get acquainted to my teammates. Same thing with the coaching ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2009/03/02/tough-times/ Hello everybody! I recently signed for the remainder of the season with French team Besançon. After leaving Australia I was able to go home and be with my family and friends in NYC. Then about a week later I was heading to Europe. The city seems to be good but honestly I ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/hodge/2009/02/01/off-to-france/ Hi everybody! 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/
