hahaha .. nice "jump-shots" .. they were the only ones he hit all training.. with no-one on him just shooting around.. I look like Ray Allen just shooting around...

Wow, this is crazy. He has very few holes in his game but you guys bang on about them every chance you get.

You may not like the guy, and yeah, his jump shot wasn't pretty. But the guy could play. One of the best individual talents the Sixers have ever had.

JayJay, I agree he is an awesome player, with a heck of a lot of talent. However, the clip made a specific point to say "check out how good his jump shot is now" and he banged some in from not even the free throw line, and even then the last one was far from convincing.

As an individual player, I rate him highly, but if you show a couple of average jump shots from just under the basket, and say "see, look how much his jumper has improved," sorry, but I'm going to hang shit. If he'd been knocking back jumper after jumper from all over the court, then fair enough, but they'd be better of not mentioning it, and just showing him shooting around.

yeah , I'm not hating.. I agree he is a fantastic player... he has been talking up his jump-shot for ages now on his blog and what not .. saying how much it has improved etc... so until he proves us wrong , we can laugh at his so called "improved" jump-shot. I just don't get how he struggles so hard to learn to shoot.

The action to his shot, whether it went in or not, looks much better. I also agree with Jay Jay, everyone no matter how good he is will always try to hate on any minor flaw he has.

If he were still with the sixers you would all still be on the Hodge Bandwagon.

If he still played for the Sixers and didn't let his his club, his team and his fans down.....yeah, we probably would still be on the bandwagon - jump shot or no jump shot!

Hems - I made the video and added in the 'jumpshot slide' very much tongue in cheek!

same with the music - 'i'm walking away - Craig David' and 'how you like me now - Kool Moe Dee'

To be honest I never thought he was that good a defender. He used to slap the floor to draw attention that he was in a defensive stance and then wouldn't do shit after that, the blokes all show!
GO HOMICIDE!!!

Really The Brad? I guess his steals on the point guards for open fast break layups were pure luck.

He'll need a lot of breathing room to get that jump shot off; doesn't look like a pull up shot.

Going to be interesting to see if Production from Anstey or Wortho will maintain with hodge in the side now.

Rather odd to see the Tigers at the bottom.

Thanks DJ - after I re-watched it, I realised it was all badged with Crocs watermarks/logos, so figured it was probably not him talking himself up - this time! But the point still stands :)
