The worst part about it is he doesn’t understand the damage he’s doing to the game. Owners are going to use him as an example in the upcoming CBA. Ben Simmons is why owners will become reluctant on paying players that much guaranteed money.
i totally disagree, he knows full well what he's doing, and you know people around him have said that to him, broadcasters have said it. I think he doesn't care a bit, its just about himself.
Should be more like NFL contracts, not guaranteed
They gonna pay the players only for the games they play but then they gonna complain about injuries and most players are gonna fake injuries they will always use back pain.
So what ? As if NBA players needed more money lol wtf kind of argument are you even trying to make ?
It's pretty stupid to just give a guy tens of millions of dollars and not mandate he does his job when he's physically capable of doing so.
Ben Simmons reportedly underwent surgery to repair his broken feelings. He is out indefinitely, per Adrian Wojnowski.
😂😆
GOAT comment
So sad. I hope he recovers. Thoughts and prayers to him and his family.
Lmao 🤣 🤣
@@artvandalay13 and all of his ex's.. fun fact lol. He has more ex's than 3 pointers attempted let alone made. Haha 😆😂😆
Simmons must be like: Why should I even play when I am going to be paid anyways?
I’ve been saying this forever. At the end of the day Ben just wants the lifestyle the money gives him. If you’re going to pay him…..why play? Especially when you’re Ben and you don’t love basketball
Simmons has no self-awareness. He's totally clueless. When he's older and out of the League, he'll look back at this time and have tons of regret.
lollol just say kevin durant is trash y keep playing the guy that didn’t play this is crazy…ben tired of getting blamed fr everything dude didn’t even play the team had kid n kyrie n y’all blame the guy that didn’t play….. this is crazy
@@beankobe8205 No it isn't. He has a max player contract. His defense would have helped immensely.
Own up, Ben Simmons is a whiny yet very rich celebrity.
With the huge guaranteed contract, no he won’t because the women come for the money and not the character.
@@beankobe8205 you don’t understand basketball…
@@orlandow1723 i don’t know basket ball cuz kyrie n kd lost a series and y’all blaming be. simmons the guy that didn’t play..,philly said he was the problem traded him n still lost…stop hating on ben
I really wish I could hear Kobe say something about Ben Simmons and his character. Another reason why I wish Mamba was still here.
I just heard from Kobe in heaven.. he said “ben is a pussy - facts”
He wouldnt waste his breathe on ben simmons..
He did before anyone else when Simmons was growing up, when everybody was guessing it was too early to criticize him. That tells you how wise Mamba was and how goofy Ben was to dismiss Kobe’s critics
Kyrie as well
"Soft"
-Kobe Bryant
He was given too much money too young and his mentality is now "I have everything I want, I don't really want to play basketball". I'm amazed that the 76ers and Nets haven't sued him for basically robbing them. I empathise with mental health issues but he's never shown any commitment since he signed his first contract, using mental health as an excuse for bailing is damaging to people who actually struggle with mental health. I'd respect him if at 76ers he said "Hey I'm going to take a season, get therapy and get treatment to be able to get back on court and pay back this city for the faith and money they have put into me". However he just seems to use it as an excuse, without doing anything about it other than showing off the money he's making. That ain't mental health, that's an asshole.
Good call.
Mental health wasn't even mentioned at first, only after the Sixers didn't pay him Klutch tried to paint the 76ers as a bad organization.
Ben got the bag. I don't think he cares if he gets another one because a max contract is what, $180 million. He should be set for life. Ben doesn't love basketball, but he loves what basketball can give him.
Great comment!
The Kardashians curse. It happened to Lamar Odom, Blake Griffin, this year it was Devin Bookers turn (see game 7 Dal-Phx), etc etc.
I despise everything about Ben Simmons. He's just a rich kid with an ego that was handed everything to him. The definition of delusional and entitled.
I'm not sure who the guy in the interview was who spoke about how all these NBA players came from very humble beginnings and know what it takes, but pretty sure Ben had (at least) a solid middle-class upbringing. Looking at the likes of Klay, Curry Brothers and Payton Jr: they all had pretty well-off backgrounds and they aren't spoilled or entitled like this guy.
@@christryst Simmons dad was a professional baller in Australia. He was privileged his whole life.
@@Unpackaged_VinylNaw he gets this entitled attitude from his white mom's side. Hid dad prolly had heart and worked hard
@@moerange6032 You wild Moe 😂
I agree with this Ben is a scumbag using a mental health narrative to hide from explaining his failures.There's a difference between a real mental health crisis and everyday life peer pressure n anxiety and Simmons has neither he just don't care about basketball
I'd be open to more Ben Simmons roast session videos
if i had a say in the Nets organization, i would get Jeremy Lin again instead of Ben Simmons
🧢🧢😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Jeremy Lin is not that good anymore.
The 76ers need some shooters next year 😔😔
@@sharoncook5883 🤣🤣😂
@@JuhstynS at least he would play
All I know. Just 10 years ago. If ben passed up a shot like that in a big game like the NCAA championship or a high-school state championship, your whole team would curse you out, you might even have to fight in the locker room! Playoffs and chips don't come easy! But that player would take responsibility for his f**k up, get back on the court and stand tall for his brothers. That "my mind ain't right" shit does not get a pass with real hoopers!! Chris Paul's grandfather was murdered and the same week he went and scored a point for every year of his life. CP3 Ended that game with over 60 points. Kobe was accused of R**e and plenty of people were ready to crucify him. Kobe went out in a playoff game and had like 40 that same week. Ben's a cream puff and everybody defending him is just as soft as he is!
I mean Isaiah Thomas lost his sister during the playoffs & he took the Celtics to the ECF
Amen brotha
To add to this, injuries are a serious thing, but A. Hurting your back from doing absolutely nothing is bullshit and B. Even then, some of the greatest performances in nba history have came from injured players. Pistons IT legendary 25 point 4th quarter in the finals, Kobe Bryant winning at least 2 different rings despite being his leg being deliberately injured (2000) and playing through a broken finger and bum knee (2010), Willis Reed taking down the superteam Lakers, basically Larry bird's entire career in the second half.
Moral of the story, tighten the fuck up Benjamin
I didn't know. This. Comment just brought tears to my eyes. I love cp3 for that 100
@@dwaynejohnson4048 yeah man I grew up 30 minutes away from where CP is from. When the news with his grandad hit, the whole state felt for him he was already a big name. But after that game, and knowing he did it intentionally, he was goated in NC a long time ago.
“Ben Simmons has been building orphanages like this one COMPLETELY out of his playoff bricks” has got to be the funniest NBA quote I have ever heard.
Not to mention that Wizards announcer called him the most overrated player last year too
"Well Simmons gotta get a jumpshot." Kobe Bryant
he is n elite playmaker top 5 defender the team had kd n kyrie n yall blaming ben 🤦🏽♂️
Words of wisdom.
Jump shot, the nets would take a lay-up here and there at this point SMH
@@beankobe8205 You can't be an elite playmaker without a jump shot. Otherwise you get Spurs like defense on LeBron where they force you to be a shooter only it's a lot worse b/c he won't shoot the ball b/c he has no jumper.
A fraud from the beginning, a fraud to get Rookie of the yr, a Fraud to beg to get on the Allstar team!!! A Fraud. That'd his. M.O...Excellent job on your research and analysis of this Guy. You killed it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
No lie bro this channel came a long way. I remember u making professional takes at like 230 subscribers. Content never changed the subs did keep grinding u inspired me
Thank you. Appreciate your support.
@@WilsonSy all love bro 💯
@@WilsonSy You deserve more subs Wilson, you have no business on having this kind of subs. You have a good content and you deserve better.
That’s nothing….
I was there when we talked about making this channel 😶
😂
@@KY-YE I was there when his parents conceived him
Ben Simmons is finally getting cold out by the old school players who are tired of his excuses
called out*
He’s freezing
Haga
"Soft."
- Kobe Bryant
"Pathetic"
-Michael Jordan
„Dipshit“
-Me
If you look at those still shots he isn’t even watching the game. He’s looking at the video feed to see if he’s getting screen time.
Imagine being Blake Griffin.
Just wants to play and knows he has been limited in the past and then hamstrung by injuries through his prime, series year after year on teams crippled by injuries.
To sit in the locker room and see this kid just piss away being 'hurt' when him and CP3 spent every year rushing back from injury just to get reinjured
For all the shit Harden gets, he was out there last season against the Bucks.
Blake was about the celebrity and spotlight as well unlike Ben he showed up and played. But let's not pretend Blake wasn't all about the spotlight too
Imagine all the amazing players who sacrificed everything they got just for the nba and still not making it and ben is just pissing all that away cuz his back be hurting him 😭😂😂😂
You had me until the end. His back was not hurting. He used that as an excuse.
If his back hurts he shouldn't be playing, end of story. The question opens up when we start asking if his back really hurts or not.
I don't think another team will ever take a chance on him again. When his contract is up or they buy him out he's done...
He can play for China
I honestly think a trash no effort team will pick him up, league is stupid
@@booya2k That's an insult to Chinese leagues. As much as they're inferior to EU and NBA Leagues, at the very least athletes there put in great work in their craft.
The teams in the NBA need to force him to either play, or force him out of the league and force him to pay back the money different teams have given him
Agree with you.
💯
There's a player's union that won't stand for that even though it's a great idea. This gutless bum making north of 30 mil per year is a travesty. I LOVE the fact he went to LSU same as Shaq! Shaq's gon' ride him like Zorro.
does he get paid when he's not playing? if he is then the league got to stop it. David Stern wouldn't be letting anyone to pay this boy, Adam silver needs to do something
@photag216 Exactly.
In my mind, Ben's mentality is done competitively. This is what happens when young players are given set for life money immediately 😂
- That bit from Rex Chapman on LSU's Simmons w/ Rich Elsen: Simmons lacks competitiveness and maturity. Dang, spot on. As a LSU supporter, it's pretty demoralizing. "When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom" -- Proverbs.
hopefully he'll learn today. other players out there willing to die for this
Not every player does that, but you've got a great point. I sell real estate, and I ALWAYS sell more homes when the bank account dips below a certain point.
That's why I love players like Giannis. He consistently works SO HARD, even though he's already been paid.
He never had competitive integrity
Jaylen Brown was the #3 pick in that draft. As a Celtics fan I AM SO HAPPY WE HAVE BROWN!!
Lets go Celtics!! NBA FINALS C’s vs. Warriors!!!
Brown is an overrated bit** too.
That dude did not get the vax. He is wrong.
I can't wait until the next collective bargaining agreement. When the owners demand a pay for play contract and ways out of 5 year contract if player doesn't want to play.
The number of NBA players sitting out with "back pain" is laughable. Larry Bird would force himself to play and then lay on the court in agony in his off time. I'm not saying it needs to go that far.. but not finding literally EVERY SINGLE EXCUSE to not play would also be nice.
Larry Bird's father who went to work with a foot that was black and blue. Ben Simmons is a (female dog) and a diva. He should change his name to Kardashian.
Welp couldn’t of been that “fake” cus he had back surgery 🤦🏼♀️
@@sexyirishmamii Lol, you can have back surgery and not necessarily require it. Especially when you're a millionaire. Him having surgery doesn't legitimize anything.
@Orbite Flow I didn't say that he didn't need it. I just said that he might not necessarily require it. There's also a good chance that he doesn't "need it" at all though. And if he did need it then why is he just now getting it done after a full season of inactivity? Come on y'all..
🤔 Ben Simmons is a BUST but the Brooklyn Nets said he will make a Home Depot commercial to show the NBA how to keep the bench warm. 🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂😢😂
New Jersey is a cursed franchise.
The Kobe bit to end it off was the perfect way to end this Video. Ben is very much the Anti-Mamba
Michael Jordan would eat Ben Kardashian Simmons alive.
Doc Rivers, and Joel Embiid were probably the first people to ever tell him how it is, and he obviously couldnt handle that. The sad part is, if he wouldve sucked it up and took that criticism as a challenge to be better he couldve helped Philly win a title in a couple years with the right pieces around him and Jojo. But nah, he showed everyone that you cant question him without him folding and retreating. Dudes career is over, he’ll play next year but i doubt he’ll be what the Nets need him to be. And as soon as it gets tough he’ll quit..and no serious team will want him on the court or in their locker room.
There's stories about how he would complain to his parents that he didn't like his youth basketball coach and they would simply take him off and find him another team that he liked. His parents enabled him from the beginning. So why not do the same thing in the NBA?
People saw this coming for the kids was even drafted and it didn't stop anybody from moving forward with him.
I wouldn't be surprised if the dude never plays basketball again and never intended to. Just trying to rip off that last bag from the 76ers, fuck over future players and then peace out.
And he'll have more social media followers than ever.
@@jamesmiller5331 yeah but even with all that, there's not a team in the NBA that would have passed on him with the #1 pick. The Sixers were the unfortunate ones to own that pick.
@Kevin Green oh yeah it's the same guys you run into in these comments sections that will tell you they are "pro player, no matter what"
How virtuous. 👏
I hope they keep that same energy when this deal with Ben Simmons absolutely fucks over the rest of the players going forward.
@@philalexander7902 that's the crazy thing. The Tell-Tale signs of immaturity would not have scared off anyone from picking this guy🤦♂️
Years of people in his circle kissing his a$$ has led to zero accountability on his part. So nets fans have to look forward to his social media posts showing him shooting 3's and then refusing to shoot during the season
He's a Kardashian.
He’s just no damn good as a person
It’s called pressure
One of the best synopsis of everything that’s been said over the past year, and everything we said in Philly!
Mark my words he's gonna redeem himself next year and win rookie of the year
😂
You must be a scumbag too. They stick together
🤣
😅🤣😂😂🤣🤣
I agree!
Props bro! Your channel keeps getting better! Keep up the good work
Great coverage of a complex situation. Thanks W.
This is one of the best compilations I’ve seen on any subject. Well done
I hope Ben Simmons never plays again. It will be a few years before he burns all his money on lavish living and poor investments.
BEN SIMMONS has what he wants, MONEY. He doesn't care about anything else. If I was an NBA GM, I wouldn't want him on my franchise at all. He's SOFT, IMMATURE and a SISSY.
You captured the mindset of guys who played in this league phenomenally, I don’t even care what anyone else had to say about this guy, current players don’t wanna say it but former players have no problem telling it like it is
And Kobe, god bless his soul, caps it off better then anyone could
I don’t think Simmons will ever play a game for Brooklyn. The bridge is already on fire.
Dude has the dream job man, all of us basketball fans would give everything to be in his position, getting paid millions doing something you would do for free smh get him outta the league he doesn’t deserve it
Yea we would all rather take Kwame Brown least with all the negative shh media was throwing at him Kwame WAS STILL OUT THERE BALLIN.
Wilson in 5th grade was tougher than Simmons
Nets down 3-0
Benjamin:Ouch my back hurts 😅😅😅
I’ve been saying since 2019 they needed to trade him while he still had value. They waited too long and all they got was another overrated team parasite
Thanks for the great video my man.
Ben Simmon has been a Diva even before the NBA, started with the australian national team, everybody turned a blind eye because like someone said, he is like the pretty girl everyone wants to date due to his skillset and his size, but in the end is the same girl that ends up being shallow, weak minded and as time goes by she gets passed around a lot until she is forgotten. Ben seems to be like that only child that never got scolded so now its impossible for him to be humble.
Started at age 15 and now the Nets might cut the cord on him too
When deciding whether to date a girl, I always look at her skillset and size.
I’ll never forget when people used talk about Ben Simmons and Jayson Tatum, and how much “better” Simmons was over Tatum, how he was the next big thing….well damn, how the times have changed. Jason Tatum has become a top level franchise Superstar, while Simmons is picking which tissue brand he wants to endorse.
He also quit on the Australian basketball team and didn't show up to a kids basketball tranning camp that they paid big bucks for.. Shame on you Ben Simmons.
The ppl that defend him clearly have no idea about the whole story lol I follow the sixers religiously and when you don't improve in 4 years and finally get called out for it you run? Then acts like he wasn't in wrong at all.. Then played the mental health card once he finds out he don't get the money back? I'm glad nets fans got to see how he acts this season.. curry is the real prize from that trade.
This video is awesome! I love ur channel. Subscribed… right now
Thank you
Dude got his max deal and the massive generational wealth. Now he probably feels he can do/act however he wants since he and his family are taken care of until the 22nd Century.
Also, if his jumper is his main flaw that can be worked on. Many athletic players improve it out of necessity because or age so there's no reason he can't shoot 1,000 shots a day over the summer. Vince Carter comes to mind and also of course MJ during his unretirement and Wizards years. Not that Simmons is on a Jordan (or even Vince) level but I just wanted to point out familiar examples.
Furthermore, if he is too fragile to accept soft criticism (or just advice really) from teammates who want to help him, how the hell is he going to overcome any sort of adversity in his career? Being active on social media probably doesn't help but since it looks like he doesn't take advice he probably will just continue what he's doing; competing to be the NBA's premier Prima Donna primarily against Harden, Kyrie, Westbrook and KD. If you were lucky enough to be an owner imagine how much easier life would be if your franchise, supermax player was someone like Jokic or Giannis instead of Simmons or Kyrie or Harden.
Spot on assessment. Unfortunate reality is he probably doesn't want to work on his game and take those shots every single day
Ben Simmons is a legend in his own mind. But he has successfully gotten 5-10 minutes of attention/discussion on every sports news program, he had the cameras focusing on his nightly spectator wardrobe and jewelry, while collecting paychecks from 2 teams without playing one minute of pro basketball. Is he a bust or a genius? The joke’s on all of us!! What a guy!
Ben Simmons is not a genius. There are 3 types of players in the NBA.
1) The players who do alot for the league...
2) The players who are just happy to be in the league...
3) The players who the league does more for them.... than they do for the league.
Ben Simmons falls into the 3rd category. (ie The league does more for him than he does for the league.)
Translation = He is just the type of player who loves what 'being in the NBA' does for him.
It enables him to have millions of dollars in his bank account.
It enables him to be a celebrity & to hang out with other celebrities.
It enables him to get women without any effort.
Those are the things that are important to him…. Actually 'playing basketball' is waaayy down on his list of priorities.
And when you compare Ben Simmons to other players like Steph Curry, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, LeBron James, etc. you quickly realize that all the of greatest players did more to expand the fanbase of the NBA (worldwide).... than the league did for them.
In other words, their impact (overall) on ticket sales, championships, charity work, merchandise, fandom, sportmanship, team revenue, business partnerships, etc..... was far greater than the amount of money they got paid in NBA salary.
lol lol y’all just don’t wanna kevin durant is trash…so y’all blame the guy that didn’t play🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
smh crazy how everything they been saying about him since college is still true and hurting him now “lack of competitiveness, can’t shoot, lacks maturity…”
Jamacus Russell, Ben Simmons LSU Professional thieves .
This channel really does its research wow ggs
Great vid Wilson
When Tim Legler bashes you, its a wrap!
The way Tim knew they was gone get swept was priceless 😭😂
Let us not forget. Same guy that won rookie of the year in his second season because he is so special. I'm kinda surprised, based on his delicate sensibilities, that he didn't get a participation trophy for showing up to games just to placate him.
Watch the movie Glass and take to heart the lesson about overly strong people having counterparts that are equally fragile. This guy is the fragile inverse of Kobe. Kobe would be fighting and playing until he just can't. Having ice his knees for hours at a time in between his 4 daily workouts to fix his shooting motion because hes got broken fingers. Not this guy. He has some muscle spasms and it's time to give up on your team in the playoffs.
Nice job dawg
i never thought he was that good, ive always though BI was waaaaaaaaay better, but the media kept hyping him up... he was already arogant in high school because of the media
The sad thing is Ben isn't even fighting back or anything like you need to have that fire to prove people wrong but Ben doesn't even want to fight anymore
Ben Simmons should go home ang play in NBL Australia or become a Fashion Model and date more celebrities
Perk saying "Newport Shorts at that" @7:00 made my day!
He seems like the guy who have an off night just cuz someone took his parking spot, had a splinter in his thumb when he was a kid, left sock didnt match right one , daddy yelled at him, mommy didn't make his milk, didnt want leave dog home alone, was raining on his drive to the game, arena PA is too loud, wendy's didnt get his order right........
He was given another shot with the Nets but blew that instantly. Horrible
Plenty of people have depression in the real world Ben, but despite most not even being able to earn MILLIONS, most of them still attend work. The expectation for someone who lives an average life still is that they'll have to go to work even if they have mental health issues. There are limits, and you're a damn disgrace, especially to those who , despite mental health issues, would trade their shoes with you in a heartbeat and play their heart out even without half the talent you may have.
What surprised the heck out of me was that I remember footage of Ben training with Kyle Korver to improve his shooting. I was thinking Ben would have somewhat of a redemption arc with the Nets but am definitely disappointed.
Ben cares more about his extravagant life style above playing basketball I mean the dude is continues to be up and about despite a back injury that is serious enough he can’t play and let’s be frank any back injury that serious he shouldn’t be taking part in shoot around or at the game at all just because of how the injury could be made worse. Then there is that leaked bit about how Rich Paul phrased Simmons demand out of Philly (to refresh your memory he said that as a “young socialite” he requested to be traded to one of the California teams). Dude is such a fucking joke and I imagine that he could be making himself into a player front offices don’t want to go anywhere near if this continues.
Simmons lacks maturity, heart, professionalism, passion, courage, and the drive that separates him from becoming MJ or Kobe or Steph or Lebron or tons of other players who's willing to put in the work and not just someone who's just happy with the mega contract and fast cars...
I am so glad that I am a Knicks fan instead of the Nets. This team has so much potential and yet 2 of their most talented players are doing everything they can to not play. The Knicks are geared up to have a huge off season in either this year or next. So the Knicks look like they are going to be a huge threat very soon. The Nets are wasting their opportunities which are soon running out.
But nobody elite wants to play for that toxic owner
@@tommyboy0208 We'll see
You see Tim Legler, he's not trying to reestablish credibility, he's demanding an apology from everyone.
don't they wish that they could have Amnesty that contract with that said the owners are thanking him no more ridiculous contracts on the next CBA negotiations.... that ain't mental health that's selfishness and softness
MVP of not playing basketball !!
He belongs in the CBA 5 years now and he hasn't improved.... still with his rookie season stats even though he didn't deserve it
Just look at Simmons face, he looks extra sensitive and soft Js. Bro has 0 heart ❤️ rn Ben should be balling out on the strength of him having a huge chip on his shoulder bc of 76ers fans Js. Instead he looking wack and sixers fans took his soul from his body 😂 he scared af! Like bro have some pride, you’re a pro baller.
Ben Simmons was from Australia, not the hood.
He should try out for the Norwegian Women's Volleyball Team.
Hey that's an insult to the volleyball team!
Brick Simmons is the most overrated player ever
Ben Simmons is gonna retire mark my words
Oof that'd be brutal
He made his money so yes he gives af everything… then should be the Ben Simmons rule exception for NBA contracts, ‘NBA teams can fire any player who likes to scratch his dick and getting money for it’
You have to be real bad to get Tim Legler that riled up when speaking of you.
I started criticizing him all about not switching his shooting hand from lefty to righty (I'm thinking about it since he writes right handed and he rarely used his left hand in other shots), until it gets worse leading to him getting scared of playing ball.
Lebron is a Lefty but shoots right handed
Its all about mindset how much do ya want it?
I fractured my right hand the day MJ made all those 3 vs Blazers
Been a Lefty since but still write right handed, ambidextrous at mostly everything as well (save bowling Lefty, reverse spin right handed lane too) trust me its quite a sight
@@aceassn716 same bro (I'm writing right handed but shoots left handed) but lebron is different from ben
Jalen Rose even said that.
@@aceassn716 plus, there are many youtubers who are concerned about Ben if he is really shooting in his wrong hand.
Yall got hustled Australian style! 🤣
That's wild how they hit the nail on the head with that player synopsis. A bit easier to get that right with interviews and such rather than trying to guess his nba comparison, lol Lamar Odom/Lebron James.
Perk was hilarious for that one (6:48).
The pretty girl that smoke cigarettes 🚬, Newport shorts at that I died lol
Kendrick Perkins with the perfect analogy. Newport shorts , baby!!!
So many valid comments offered by viewers on the Ben Simmons matter. It seems that NBA owners and managers consistently make the same mistake-offering top recruits premium contracts before the recruit establishes that he can be competitive in the league. You would think that after so many years, and so many teams have been burned, management would silently agree (emphasis added) to offer recruits tiered contract.
ben simmons played everybody! he got a max deal and hasn't done a freakin' thing for it. it's the saddest thing ever.
You forgot how hyped Wiggins was. Somewhere between Zion and Anthony Davis and the rest of the #1s.
Wiggins was way overhyped too but he isn't a gutless quitter. Zion is fat and injury prone and AD is made of China.
One of the worst trades in NBA history for Nets.
I dug out numerous tweets that I have tweeted back in that draft that Simmon was in, I have said that he is overrated for sure because you can’t be a guard or a person that has the ball most of the time running the offense and can’t shoot… like at all. People think Jason Kidd couldn’t shoot, and they are right… but Simmon is waaaaaay worse than Kidd in terms of shooting.
*offtopic* do you guys think that he has the Kardashian‘s curse as well 🤣? I hope Devin Booker don’t fall victims on that because he has so much talent and so much fun to watch.
Kidd became a serviceable shooter later in his career. Simmons knew he needed to develop his jumpshot and did nothing to inprove it.
As a student of the game, he should know how Kobe came in the game shooting airballs in the big moments of the game and went back to the drawing board until he was someone his team would rely on for those moments. It seems like all Simmons has to do is decide that he wants it. Nets may need to have him talk to psychiatrists and motivational speakers all year. He has the talent to make it his league.🤷🏾♂️
Let me direct you to a historic injury: Game 5 of the first round of the 1991 Eastern Conference Playoffs.
Can we finally put to rest that this new era of nba players are soft?
Pretty Girl that smoke cigarettes was classic 🤣
I so hope that Ben Simmons is ready to go Game 1 of the Brooklyn Nets schedule. I personally hope the Nets open up the season in Philadelphia against the 76ers. Ben Simmons needs to show NBA fans he has some heart.
NBA needs to get a refund on this clown. Everything hes doing is on purpose. Hes making almost 100mil in 3 years
IT knew Ben was not that guy since day 1
Me too
When I learned how to play basketball at age 9... shooting was the first thing I've concentrated on. I've changed my shooting form and improved through the years. Basketball is fun to play and NBA is the biggest stage. Only 1% of African Americans get to the NBA and there are millions of them playing. All that money for what??? He needs to play and prove he can play.
Ben Simmons is a whole 🤡
