Ben Simmons on His Upbringing, the NBA Draft and Advice from LeBron
/ fallontonight - Komedie
That is the most hybrid accent I’ve ever heard
you should listen to Charlie Hunnam...
@@scarletdragon23 More like you should listen to Mason Cox
VF7 facts
You should listen to Owen Hargreaves
VF7 u should listen the irish one
As an Aussie I was proud to hear him say mum instead of mom, don't forget where you came from Ben! 😜
agreed
Normani is better than Camila I think where he is going with this is that it’s good hearing him with an Aussie accent, as a lot of Australian celebrities tend to somewhat loose their accent when moving to America. Also only the racists are like that, not all of us Aussie’s are like that I promise. 😊
Mum is horrible.
@@TheSwagIsBack You're calling your mum horrible?
Mum is what the rest of the English speaking world call their mother.
Unfortunately Ben very quickly forgot where he came from lol. One of the most unAustralian athletes we've ever had
He has such a weird accent, it trys to be Australian and also American
Taylor Harvey because he is both
Try*
Joku Sekou no
Lol
Taylor Harvey cause his dad is American and his mom is Australian 🤦🏽♀️
He's a bronxtrallian
Lol
Sounds like kind of dinosaur
Ha
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 😭💀
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 naurrr 🤣 🤣 🤣
Thank God he's Aussie. It will keep him grounded and down to earth.
how. plenty of morons have come out of australia.
you didnt get the joke did ya? ill give you a hint, another name for australlia...
He's going to Philly so he'll probably go down under
He's going to Philly so he'll probably go down under
Iggy Azalea is the complete opposite of down to earth
I like him, hope he has a great career
he wont in philly
hahaha
+Chris Jones stfu He will be a Goat in philly
just like Okafor right?
+Chris Jones they are two different people please don't judge until you see him play with the Sixers first
his accent is crazy
how?
+Jaylen Stewart it's so on and off, subtle Aussie
I don't know about you, but I haven't encountered many Australian/New York accents.
He said he had to adjust his accent on the court so the other players in the US could understand him.
I'm Australian also, but I live in Houston but for me my accent depends on who I'm talking too like with my family it's Australian but with strangers it's American
I don't think Jimmy even knows what the NBA is, let alone how it works.
I wander myself...
+Francie Cotton lol not to be mean but your spelling kinda made your comment perfect
Bens voice is funny af
yes he does, he plays facesketball
I think you're very wrong about that...
You know you've made it when eating a sandwich in public brings applause.
I was just thinking that.. when I saw it
Australia basketball low key fire tho, kyrie, simmons,bogut
Just cos Kyrie was born in Australia doesn't make him Australian. Hes American. By that logic Steve Nash is South African, which is where he was born.
Don't forget about that guard from Utah that no one cares about..:
+Jurie Wessels my point is that he CAN play for Australia if he so chooses
Thon Maker too. He's coming in the draft straight after high school!
Don't forget about Matthew delevadova
From my home city of Melbourne! Go get em Benny!
I read that in an Australian accent lol
Ay I’m about an hour from Melbourne Aussie Aussie Aussie oy oy oy
@@greasylemon2780 Hopefully it wasn't a bogan accent lol
i misread the title as "Ben Cinnamons on His Uprising, NASA Daft And A Device From LeRoy"
lol check out my page
Actually that would be awesome *BEN CINNAMONS*
+patsnats 14 subtle
lol

Onya Ben!! Aussie Aussie Aussie! Do us proud brother, look forward to hopefully seeing you in the green & gold in the future.
Love all the Australians in the NBA and so many from Melbourne ❤
+Beres Wilson Achieving more than you ever will buddy!
Kyrie Irving is trash?
+Paulo Webba Kyrie isn't really Australian he was just born there, he moved to America really early on
They're all trash? Someone from Melbourne won a ring last year and 2 players, 1 just outside of Melbourne and 1 from Melbourne just won a ring this year. Yeah real trash.....
bob joe This is true. He is more American than Australian. He even played American College games. Practically grew up in the US
Most genuine I've seen Fallon and funny good interview congrats on being picked by 76ers 20 years ago Allen Iverson was new era
Makes a 3 pointer with his feet... CANT MAKE ONE WITH HIS HANDS
hahahahahahahahah lol

+tucksities24 Probably grew up playing Aussie Rules and not soccer.
+tucksities24 The point is that he has an atrocious jump shot.
i love that he calls australia home even tho he has been living in the US for all these years ✊🏻
wish him all the best seems like a good guy
Big ups from Australia Ben. You're gonna kill it it the NBA
I remember playing him in footy, I tried tackling him and he just flattened me
God I'm old. I remember watching his dad Dave play for my fav team the Melbourne Tigers when I was a kid. Dave was very consistant.
This guy is on every talk show and he still hasnt played a game
When you signed a 20 mil deal..you a pretty big deal.
+Plague Doc I agree but shit this dude got so much pressure to be good now
+Syed Shah he gonna be ass just like the rest of the 76ers
You're ass. The Sixers are ready to come up after stockpiling shit.
Lets hope he isnt as bad as Kwame Brown
This is crazy.. I been following him since he was in high school at Montverde and now he Boutta be in the NBA
Great interview Fallon.
Who’s here after he don’t wanna play for the 76s no more 😭
lmao Ben Simmons went to my high school.... now he's signing a $20000000 deal with Nike
**whitefriars boys 4 eva**
@Blake NORRIS weird flex but ok.....
thats because whitefriars is part of the ACC and we dont play in the public school system.
I can't even afford to read how many zeros is that
ACC Colleges >>> high schools in America. But also, fuck Whitefriars
@@elijahbrasher7933 fuck u too bro
@@elijahbrasher7933 u sound dumb
Did not expect this at all but happy to see it.
Good for you brother All best
What do you do if Golden State wins back2back? Turn off 2K...
Overused joke so here this L
Chase Jumpman I've actually never heard anyone else use this joke. So for what its worth, I didnt steal this joke from anyone.
Josh Ive seen it on other NBA comment sections
Is the joke: Golden State playing on rookie causal?
At least they won on their first try.
Who else just came to see him talk?
A new Aussie legend go Ben you champion
Two very down to earth humble men!
What do you think about Ben now 😂
dude looks like wally west from the flash hahah
ian Hahah
The guy that plays Wally West is Australian too lol
Big tiiiiiiiime!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Sixers! 10,9,8,76ers!
Clap your hands, everybody...
trudeaup 30 hours away...
Ben Simmons + one of those big men = championships and I'm not a 76ers fan
Myles Frazier I hope you are right...
+muscles662988 cant wait hes gonna bring something special to the 76'rs
Jimmy with those draft photos - - I died. 😆
Dellesandros is in roxbourough near south philly
"I can live with Philly"
Welp, that didn't age well.
LMAO
Brooklyn close to pops 😂😂
Jimmy always makes me smile!
Thank you for choosing Philly Ben ❤️❤️❤️
Lol Carmelo wore the same sweater being interviewed by jimmy just noticed that!
Representing Australia! Go get 'em Ben.
I'm a Sixers fan now.
he's wearing the same sweater Carmelo wore when he was there
LMAO he is, except ben aint chubby
They force every one to wear it lol jk
If we only knew how it would all turn out 🤦🏾♀️. Sixers fan here. I hope he gets better.
Jimmy just an FYI it's northwest Philly more specifically Roxborough :) I love D'Allesandros!!
Well this aged well
Ye it’s sad he was so excited to go to philly and look where we r now
Not
did anybody notice he has the same shirt from carmelo anthony in the same show a Month ago??????
Yeah!!!! Hahahahah
Yes
Can't wait to see him play
Sixers about to be so sick!! Simmons n Embiid yesterday. Saric n possibly Dunn today. And the draft didnt even come yet. Damn!
he got the same sweatshirt as Melo
Better jumper with his feet than hands
real shit
Lol
W
Pretty sure he can shoot better than you 🤔🤔🤔
Yet he in the nba😂
the roots , man !
Philly represent!
I hope that he gets a Rival 🙏🏼
+MertensCW I can see the Lakers and the T Wolves have a rivalry, or the Lakers and the 76ers
im saying brandon ingram or buddy hield
ingram for sure Ben wanted to go to LA lakers he even had a gold tie on instead Ingram got to goto LA with a number 2 pick damn shame hes going to 76ers...
the last 5 picks being from australia, europe, canada, overseas basically- really reminds me of outliers- how when ur the big fish in a small pond- it can be better than being a big fish in a big pond. instead of doing years of aau games up and down- these guys get to really be the focus of a team , learn all the skills, practise alot- get specific coaching all of that. kobe said something similar. i mean ben is the best ball handling big we ve seen in 12 years- its no coincindence.
on his jr school team he was already like 6'4- but his coach let him do whatever he wanted- he got to play point, guard, whatever- bring the ball up , set plays, finish with his right or left. if he was in the aau- his coach would be making him stick to picking and popping, he d never get to bring the ball up cos there would be some skilled point there already who had that priority. like russell or something. not saying u have a better chance being overseas-but if u got amazing talent already- its better to be in an environment that u can grow in - rather than surrounded by alot of other ballers.
its like being an only child as opposed to having 6 brothers. pluses and minuses for both- but u can see the last few years- all the top draft picks coming from non basketball countries, where there aren't many ballers to be honset- whereas in america its a national pasttime. basketball in austrlaia is like the 5th biggest sport here.
Karl-anthony towns is American but as play for dominican republic because is mother is from there is father is also american so your statement is false
Yeah but KAT, Andrew Wiggins, Kyrie, Ben Simmons are all big time AAU prospects....They also all played highschool and AAU growing up in the US. So all that "growing up overseas is better" is total bullshit
I wouldn't say it's bullshit. Ben Simmons has only been in the US for two years. Ben was playing on the senior Australian mens team when he was 16yo alongside Patty Mills, Bogut, Delly, Ingles etc. You can't match that kind of experience and exposure.
I find it hard putting myself through reading any comment that requires a "Show More" click
+RondoStyle9 Wiggins grew up in Canada. He played in the us his last two years of high school. Ben didn't come to America until 10th grade. Salty
Jim you must have more shows with ben 😍
Carmelo also used that sweater when he was on the show
I can live with Philly was a bad sign
he is wearing the same sweater as Carmelo Anthony
Abdul Abdella no Carmelo is wearing the same sweatshirt as Ben Simmons, don't ever compare that bum ass nigga to the goat.
KingCole The III lol don’t compare some dude named Carmelo to the *GOAT* Ben Simmons!
JFireGaming carmelo isa future hall of famer. Stop being a sheep and saying carmelo a bum blah blah blah
JFireGaming See he gets it.
JFireGaming lmao your calling simmons the goat over carmelo? How young are u? Lol melo would wipe the floor with his punk ass
He's wearing the same sweater as Carmelo when he did the running man challenge on here.
he's a geniune bloke....as well...💪😎
Of all of the sweaters
that sweater is fresh, he makes it work
+Krash yeah i thought it was dope.
+Krash must be fresh melo wore the same one when he was on the show
I'm diggin it honestly
That sweater looks good to me
This guy is going to be a first class hall of famer!!!!.. So far he's one of the best rookies of all time.
This aged poorly :’(
@@coreyjones4432 No your are wrong sadly Ben Simmons before this season was trending as an multiple year All Star and defensive player of the year runner up and one of the top 3 to 5 best passers in the game he'll be right back on top just stay tuned.
@@yunggpacino aged poorly again
@@yunggpacino :v
He has that same sweater that Carmelo was wearing in that show :)
He was born in Fitzroy, I live 30 mins away in Bundoora
Lmao the innocents of this comment section 5 years ago doomed to realize how amazing that 3 point shot was for simmons😂
This is why everyone in Phillie loves hm
what is this show called, i love it
That shot though 👍👍
I bet he never thought in a few years he'd be dating Kendall Jenner 😂
Am I the only one who didn’t know this man was Australian?!?
Dudes American 😂
i didn’t either ahaha
@UClZvpZWSk2TWXtHuFbvxhDA he’s literally born and raised in Australia. How is he American?
Ben you are best rookie rookie player you are my favorite player of ncaa and nba ooooooo
THANK YOU HINKIE!!!!!!! I cant believe it really. This guy is gonna be a SUPERSTAR. Iverson passes the torch. #PhilaFirst
Bet Nike regrets that deal
Am I the only that wants too know wear I can get a sweater like that tho
Versace
+Kevin Yuksekol oh never mind 😂😂😂 ain't bout blow a paycheck for that
+keith council lmao
just stitch together about 5 diffrrent sweaters
+jomard benemile 😂😂😂 it prolly cost 1 tenth the price of that sweater too I might try that foreal
I’ve never heard Ben Simmons talk, until now. I was expecting him to sound like Steven Adams (I know Adams is from New Zeland)
This guy's going to be special God willing
poor guy, he'll go to philly. I don't wish that on my worst enemy.
lmao give us a break.
Him and okafor will make a good duo
+RebenDigita1 L
along time i think lakers fit more but i think philly fit little more for simmons now Well it happening hes going to philly
It seems like you are not up with the trade between philly and Celtics, okafor is going to boston this next season.
Is no one gon talk bout how he wearin the same shirt as Melo?
lol ikr
This guy is going to be hella of a player. He is got a brighter future with Lakers than Sixers tho.
And first time hearing him talk lol since he hasn't done any draft workout haha
humble guy
If you think his accent is weird listen to Simeon Jackson and Owen Hargreaves
RIP Ben Simmons. Cause of Death : Getting drafted by Philly
Next year, Philly wouldn't be the team, what you saw the last 3 years, with mediocre players, d-league guys, etc,etc.
With (a hopefully healthy) Embiid, a Saric, Noel or Okafor, a next year top pick, a superstar caliber FA next season. Thats not tipically a situation, where you"re going to kill your career...
Fax you'll never hear his name after a year
Yeah but it's gonna be a bloodbath with him and okafar combining..it's gonna be lit
Nah, Okafor gets traded, Embiid gets injured, Simmons gets dunked on. These are the 76'ers we're taking about
Philly tanks to get players for three years, it works, and now people like you are too dumb to realize it's all coming together. Whatever, man. Have fun rooting for Jeremy Lin.
Shoutout to Roxborough! Love those cheesesteaks right down the street from me!
You all should see the 60 minutes interview with his parents. What a wonderful wonderful family.
His life is meant to be perfect.
How ironic
Ben Simmons is a great basketball player.
he is the best
I like his personality too
where is your shirt?
his shirt is off of his body, thankfully ;D
julian246700a :)))
Anyone here after him hitting 2 3s in the 2019-2020 season?
Just me 😭
He gonna be one of the GOATS 🐐
those afl skills
Ben Simmons be like *please not philly, please not philly*
Speak for yourself......
But he "Trusts the process"
but it seems like the sixers have already told him that they will take him
Ben Simmons should be out here promoting Brandon Ingram.
yet he says in this video "I could live in Philly" cornballs man... lol
Spoiler alert: it doesn't work out.
He got the same shirt on as Carmelo when he did the runningman with Jimmy
That is a really nice sweater he's wearing, can anyone tell me what brand it is or drop a link. I need one
The GPA is real
Lol
Wassup boi Ryogassa Avatara
Who needs an education? This guy just gonna be a jock.
Just signed a $20 million dollar shoe deal... and wankers are giving him grief over his GPA in 1 worthless college year.... hahahaha
I'll take the $20 million dollars over a good GPA any day.
He reminds me of kendall❤️
reppin Aussie son !!!
lol carmelo wore the same shirt for his interview
How did Jimmy Fallon not know that Ben Simmons is Australian?
He did. It's called a set up
Probably cuz he's from Australia just a thought
+Madden Mobile player You and people like you are exactly why Ben Simmons will never be a great player.
+Anon ?
shit were you wrong
He should go to los Angeles Lakers that would be the best
Damn no it wouldn't
LMFAOOOO
Do you know how the draft works
He cant choose where he is going buddy
Lol we don't want his ass. We got the next kd and philly got a bust. We did better.
Carmelo on jimmy Fallon wore the exact the same shirt
As a Philadelphia native and lives in the neighborhood of where delasandros is located, the location is actually in northwest Philly so jimmy was half right
