MichiganMag.Org:
What made you decide to play basketball?
Julius Ward:
When I was around 9 I saw Julius Erving play and what I saw was amazing, He was doing all types of fancy moves and making the opposition look stupid in the process and I felt like I could do those same things he did so I started playing basketball.
MichiganMag.Org:
What to you was your biggest game past or present?
Julius Ward:
I played in a City-Wide Championship with my Elementary school team and i just remeber all of the people that were there going crazy for the opposing team and I remember catching a loose ball rebound and lobbing the ball from half court as time expired and making the shot. I was only around 10 years old and I was abot 4'8' at the time so I think that was my best and biggest game to me.
MichiganMag.Org:
What are some of your future plans?
Julius Ward:
I plan on attending College and continuing my basketball career. I would love to play professional ball but if that doesn't work out than I would like to open up a basketball gym as a business after I graduate from college.
MichiganMag.Org:
Let's Say you do go Pro, What are some of your plans when you sign thay Multi-Million Dollar Contract?
Julius Ward:
That's a good Question, I really haven't thought of playing the NBA in a money type of way but I think I would buy a Home for my family and for myself and invest the rest of my money so I can still have some when I retire instead of spending it all like I do with the money i make now.

Julius Ward:
Hardwork, Intensity, Dedication, Hustle, Poise, Savvy, Swagger, Aggression, Passion, Hunger, Heart, Teamwork, and playing like every play will determine the outcome of the game, Just playing for THE LOVE OF THE GAME!!!
