Hodge's tweet talk enrages 36ers

I like how people are making a call based on what happened here with the payment but seem to neglect what the team said when he left. im pretty certain Brett Maher referred to him as a "cancer on the team" and he wasnt talking about his star sign. if the team felt that way then i dont want a bar of it no matter how good he is (which he isnt). its a "team" game not a julius game.
Julius needs to stop being a keyboard warrior and needs to stop acting like a spurned lover

Dude's life continues to spiral into obscurity.

Let it go - no one cares.

Hodge improvised the interview that the Sunday Mail eventually ran.
Sixers told the Sunday Mail that DeVries will be good after injury recovery - then sacked him, Sunday.
But, harmlessones just dumb , geech-like phrase - stood out for mine.

Hodge IS a great player; you don't exactly need to hit the full range of shots in order to be a great player.

The man just happened upon an attitude change in his 2nd stint w/ the club that came out of nowhere. Can only assume that whatever contract screw-ups occured brought it out. Whether he holds it against the fans or the club, no one knows. But long story short, rather than just talk about it and get it over with, he's now choosing to milk a bad situation.

We know , from SYD and MEL that his agent and he have contacted them . There probably was some contact with ADL. It never ocuured to me , the NBL to supply information in this Hodge situation.

It's quite possible he still has contacts in Adelaide that are closely involved with the organisation. With all the talk about import spots recently, a comment, not necessarily an offer, might have been put to him.

Never fearing controversial, a tweet has caught the attention of a journo who's newspaper rarely print basketball stories that extend beyond Adelaide import players, and preferrably those who are controversial or about to be sent home.

The Sunday Mail's love affair with Hodge continues.

But that doesnt make sense!
Who writes tweets that are false so that people can badouth someone. Thats just twisted in so many ways.
What a gronk!

this is exactly what julius wants. I say ignore the chump. He is a legend in his own mind. Sixers would never make that mistake again

No we do not want you back!!!!

What is his motivation to say this?

Does he seriously think any NBL club will pick him up?

Let's face it. Season 2007/08 he did play well and so we wanted him back in 2008/09. He came back in 2008/09 after what could, now, be possibly described as "colourful contract negotiations" which ultimately lead to claims of non-payment and the "he-said, they said" scenario.

We'll never know the full truth, so really....that's history, move on.

So, even though he walked away from the club in what could be described as a very un-professional manner, you could almost excuse him for "acting under agent's orders". His excuse could be that he was just a patsy for a greedy agent.

Then season 2009/10. He commits the unforgivable stomp - NBL career over.

Orbit, when did Julius ever fit into a 'great player' as you write?

We are still waiting for a half decent jump shot
