Stop blaming D’Moi Hodge!
Scores of fans on social media have rushed to the defence of D’Moi Hodge, saying residents shouldn’t blame the Lakers star for Tortola’s loss against the USVI in the King of the Courts Caribbean Championship 2024.
The final game of the tournament ended 88-67 in favour of the USVI team. Amid the disappointment, some BVI residents expressed disappointment in D’Moi Hodge, saying he missed shots and did not play as well as they expected.
However, many others have rushed to Hodge’s defence, saying he shouldn’t bear the responsibility of Tortola’s loss, especially since he went into the tournament grieving the loss of his father.
“Last night, USVI players played the game as a team and BVI players played the game against each other. Why are people mad at D’moi? It took courage, determination, and BVI pride for him to step on that court knowing he lost his father. He missed a couple of shots last night and ayo mad. Ayo put so much pressure on him to help the team win. Keep the same energy and be proud of him for showing up because he didn’t have to,” one Facebook user said.
“Set of fake people. All of them were parading his victory when he made it to the NBA,” another person stated.
“Well, they acting like he alone is the team,” another person said in response to D’Moi’s critics.
Other Facebook users pointed out that the reason many were disappointed was because they placed bets and had high hopes that Tortola would win, especially with D’Moi’s help.
“They all bet money and lost… set of heartless, ungrateful people in this place,” one user expressed.
Amid the criticism, many residents used their Facebook platforms to send condolences to the D’Moi and his family, saying it took great courage and loyalty for him to support Tortola’s team while grieving the loss of his father.

Not a soul blamed Dmoi! People always playing the victim role looking attention. Everytime they go hospital it is a picture of themselves with the hospital wristband or iv in their veins they have to post. Everybody happy he came home and wished we could have won the trophy of course but no one blaming him for losing an unimportant game in an unimportant tournament for bragging rights.
This BVI have some of the most ungrateful disgusting pathetic people. Honestly, you people don’t give a damn about the young man. He did not have to come back home and play in the game on his off season. It was not his fault that the BVI lost. The young man lost his dad and he still played. GOOD THE USVI SMOKED YOUR ARZES. YOUNG MAN, DONT PUT YOUR CAREER IN JEOPARDY AND END UP GETTING HURT ON ANY BVI BASKETBALL COURT.
Alot of these fools don’t understand that playing at that level you got to becareful of getting hurt in these no purpose tournaments to your career.
How you expect Hodge to be a superstar on a team he doesn’t;t play with? Also, and I’m just saying, he wasn’t really an NBA player. He played a couple Lakers games thanks to a 2-way contract with a farm team. We are guilty of over-hyping our boy.
Tola men from st thomas put a beating on tola men who playing all over the globe. Maybe they were tired.
You are sick. Have some sympathy.
take home what you buy and over hype.
Those men from the USVI drop a beating on the BVI. They wipe and drag the BVI team across the floor.
Dem man geh s**t on from dem rock man Lf. I woulda blame he ms too ca the amount of dum shots da man take and bunna turnovers he geh stupid stupid yuh ga hold da L fam.
my oppion he shouldn’t have been here playing in the first place, he along can’t beat five men. I really thought if he wasn’t the team guys would have played perform better individually the pressure and distraction D hodge like he have to have the ball he tries his best Afterall if he gotten hurt.
As usual bvi people not together not even as a team everyone trying to out shine the other and forgot its a team . Selfish that looking center of attention until you really understand the real purpose and role of the word team bvi will never win a championship basketball game the older guys played the game as a team back in the days .
man team never win a game. The greatest of the greats knew of, understood the meaning and playeda team sport.
