I caught up with the flashy import to get his thoughts on the blog that had rocked the world in the past few days

Stop fuelling him!

He's wetting his lips & will have a triple double against Adelaide.

What's Davidson doing anyway? Playing anywhere? Did he simply get cut by Ninnis?

shows how deluded Julius is IMO. To not know that your teammates thought you are a dick says more about him than anything else. Maybe the same reporter should go and ask McKinnon and Worthington what they think of Hodge right now. That would be worthwhile going by the rumours about.

Yawwwn...

Bring on 5 Dec.

I dont agree agent 0. Hodge made it quite clear Davo wears 2 faces. All Davos comments were made post the collapse - they were probably fine before then. Always watch the ones with plenty of negatives to say - they are normally at fault or sport a massive chip on the shoulder.

so that means every player on the team wore 2 faces and Julius was a ok the whole time. seriously wtf are you thinking

I have to admit Julius is handling the situation pretty well.

orbit, perhaps the rest of the Sixers were professional enough not to make public comment whilst Hodge was a teammate, but felt the need to speak out after reading in the media comments by Hodge they felt were untrue and that reflected badly on Ninnis etc?

The best thing we can do is forget about Hodge and focus on the 6ers season.
Whatever the issues between Hodge and the previous owners is history, and to be honest "who cares"
I have no doubt that we will never learn the actual truth, but I would like to bet that the previous management played a big hand in what went down, I also would bet that Hodge and his management did not handle the situation well.
An all round "F__)Up
We have new owners, a new team and so far so good, with improvements still to come.

I agree with Skin, thedoctor and Focus. But what the hey, this whole saga is just so entertaining!

Bring on more rivalry, more characters, more scandal and more interest generally in the Sixers and the NBL.

XY, yes it is entertaining.
Are we pumping Hodge full of the ultimate motivation?, we may question his ethics, but we cannot question his on court ability.
Hate for it all to bite us!!

The man has never denied the fact he is an entertainer in an entertainment industry. He is a true professional in that sense. Lucky for him he can play some pretty good ball too.

Im thinking Gilchrist should dunk on him if he gets the chance.

Im enjoying the Hodge banter, he is still without doubt IMO one of the most talented we have seen in the league.

The big question is... who is going to stop him when he comes to town, who has got the D to stop the drive, lets face it, hold him up and make him shoot jumpers everyone will get a laugh :)

Of course.. if we dont do the D... we know who's gonna be laffin.

funny thing is Hodge could actually shoot in college. He had a nice looking show and shot in the high 80's on free throws. Maybe he sold his jump shot on ebay?

Focus we can give him all the motivation we please, but we cannot give him a jumper :P

I like to see Davidson go up to him and say it in he's face at HT or FT. If it's on Fox, it'll be great TV VIEWING INDEED.

Nice blog with heaps of opinions but where is Davidson? Pioneers, Woodville or Sturt? He must still be in the Lleyton Hewitt partof the world, even if he played his best in FNQ!

I am not game enough to make a comment in case it might jinx our game this Wednesday. A 36ers win regardless of which team it plays is crucial together with Perth losing their game against Townsville to see the 36ers on top of the ladder.

Sometimes I wonder whether the drive-by-shooting injury is the reason for his shooting style , since he had good shot earlier .

Julius Hodge will share his side of the story on Internet TV talkback basketball show live at 6pm (CST) with former Adelaide 36ers Kevin Brooks and Brett Maher and former coach Phil Smyth. Watch it live at http://www.australialivetv.com/insidethegame.
