Julius Hodge is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on November 18, 1983 in Harlem, New York, United States. Julius Melvin Hodge (born November 18th 1983) is an American basketball coach and former player, the assistant head coach of San Jose State. Born in Harlem, New York, Hodge played in the NCAA basketball tournament during his time at NC State and was selected 20th overall in the 2005 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets. Hodge was named the ACC player of the year in the 2003-04 season Hodge completed his college career by leading NC State into the Sweet 16.

Hodge was selected as the 1st pick (20th in the overall) from the 2005 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets. He was a part of fourteen games with the Nuggets during the 2005-06 season and scored just 0.9 points over 2.4 minutes.

After visiting a nightclub on April 8, 2006, Hodge was on Interstate 76 in North Denver around 2:00 a.m. when another vehicle pulled alongside his and fired several shots. Hodge was told he came within 5 minutes of bleeding to death. The case has yet to be solved.

On December 21, 2007, Hodge signed with the Adelaide 36ers in the Australian NBL as their second import to replace the outgoing Mike Chappell. He finished his contract with Italian Serie A team Legea Scafati and arrived in Adelaide on December 23 after making trips to his hometown New York. He made his debut for the 36ers against the South Dragons helping them to a victory. On January 29, Hodge was rewarded with the league’s player of the week for round 19 after averaging 27 points, 4 rebounds and 4.5 assists in the two games the 36ers played, which included a dominant performance of 39 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists against the Cairns Taipans. On February 2, Hodge became the first 36er since Robert Rose in 1994 to record a triple double (24 points, 12 rebounds, 13 assists). A few days after, on February 5, Hodge won his second and back- to-back player of the week for Round 20 after averaging 31 points, 10.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists, which also included a performance of 37 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists in the 36ers lost to the Gold Coast Blaze. On February 12, Hodge won his third consecutive player of the week for round 21 by having another dominant performance of 31 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists in the 36ers win against the Cairns Taipans. Hodge became just the second player to win the award three times (Chris Anstey is the other player to do so), and the first player to win it three times consecutively during the season. Despite only playing half of the season in the league, Hodge was rewarded with the All NBL Third Team for his efforts with the 36ers. Hodge then bid for his return to the NBA by trying out with the New Jersey Nets, but could not make the regular season roster despite signing a 2-year non-guaranteed contract.

As a freshman for the NC State Wolfpack, he was the highest scoring freshman in the ACC scoring an average of 10.7 score per game. He was selected to the second-team All-ACC Tournament team after scoring 12.3 points. He was awarded the Lorenzo Charles Offensive Rebounding Award for 2002, and Dick Vitale’s “Diaper Dandy” and ranked 20th in the ACC in rebounding. He recorded a double- double in his first game at a collegiate level and also in his very first ACC game. It was his only Pack player to score multiple double-doubles in 2002-2001.
