In a display of immense pride and celebration, two billboards have been erected on either side of Cane Garden Bay, paying tribute to a local sports star who has achieved remarkable heights in the world of basketball.
D’Moi Hodge, the first-ever BVIslander to sign an NBA contract with the prestigious Los Angeles Lakers, is currently back in the Territory, taking time to give back to the community and relax after making history in the United States.
The billboards bear a message that reads: “District 2 Home of Los Angeles Laker D’Moi Hodge. First BVIslander in the NBA.”
After securing a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, Hodge recently showcased his skills on the court during the Summer League.
The initiative to honour D’Moi Hodge through these billboards was made possible by the sponsorship of Paradise Club Lounge Bar & Restaurant, The Wellness Center Clinics, and Turnbull for Change.
