This obviously sounds ridiculous now but people forget before the 2021 playoffs when Philly lost to Atlanta and Ben had that moment everyone remembers him passing up an open layup/dunk , he was a #1 pick who made 3 allstar games, 2 defensive 1st teams and averaged 7-8 assists as 6’10 guy who could play every position basically on both ends of the court. All that in just 4 seasons and he’s basically been lost now for the last 3 years and is still he’s just turning 28 years old now. People might think of him as a bust now but really he’s in the conversation as one of the biggest “what ifs” of NBA history. What if this extremely talented player wasn’t afraid to shoot a basketball? Colin’s prediction wouldn’t have been so crazy. Ben’s downfall is a low key crazy story they could make a documentary about.
I remember listening to this at the time. In one his shows, colin basically annointed simmons as his new guy and that lebron was old news. This was 2018. Of course lebron and the cavs made the final and lebron was unreal. Still simmons was showing flashea of greatness. And to now see that lebron is still a top 15 player at 40 while simmons is almost out of the league is crazy.
To be fair, the hype was absolutely real. He was an amazing facilitator and defensive player at the start of his career. It was only like 2018-19 when people started noticing that he never shot, and after that he lost interest in basketball.
One of Colin’s greatest hits
The glaze is astronomical

Ye he was 100% better than Embiid those first few years and a genuine beast. Everyone rewrites the history now that he stinks
Yea, I don't regret disregarding his takes or opinions
That's the neat part!! He doesn't.
He had/has all the gifts including the telekenetic like passing touch, but the mind is always more important.
His most intelligent take ever
I ask the same question
Focus group colin.
