How much will a team pay Ben Simmons once his contract expires?
Not much
500k
2 dollars
74 cents
Vet minimum
Ben Simmons showed the world what a real bust looks like 😂 Now Steven a can stop talking about Kwame Brown
Steven will NEVER get off Kwames nuts!
I can't really say Ben Simmons is a bust, because he can play but he has the mental of a 5 years old. He needs a therapist, that is what he need.
Busts dont make the 1 st team all D and all NBA 3rd Team
@@OH_MY_DOGGG😱
He actually played decent couple years kwame never was even decent I’m sorry
He's still probably the favorite to win Rookie of the Year.

😂😂😂
#1 in steals!

Lmao
As a sixer fan, we all knew exactly how it was going to play out, but no one listened. Its the same cycle. He plays victim, takes off season workout videos, play great in the beginning of the year, then fall off, then back to victim.
Philly fans gave him a million chances just like everyone else. Don’t act like y’all knew
Yep, I remember us keeping Simmons over Butler and being furious about it. We kept a man who refused to put the work in and got rid of someone who was tremendously hungry + one of Joel's best friends. The Process was shot the day the organization made that decision. They got high off of Ben's potential, and the hangover was terrible.
Reality is often disappointing
Y'all were definitely proven right. I was defending him when he first got to the Nets and I thought he was gonna start proving y'all wrong when he had those 5 good games. After that, he had "knee soreness" and just went back to being total and utter trash for the rest of the season.
@@matthewvaughan8192I didn't give him any chances as a sixers fan once I realized the thing he was lacking I was ready to move on
He's the greatest off season player I've ever seen
As a guy who has tried to defend Ben at certain points, this is so true. Like bro we are SO TIRED of offseason social media videos of you working out. Show us what you have ON THE COURT.
I think he was a true baller at one point. All NBA, All defensive team, played with confidence and attacked the rim, but man at this point it's sad how he just vanishes on the court. Passing up on that wide open layup against the Hawks really killed his mental and derailed his career.
Side Note: can we PLEASE STOP calling people the "Next Lebron James"
It was the MJ comparisons before that, or the next Kobe.
stop making excuses for him. It's obvious that he just doesn't care. He's got his fat contract.
@@albertlwjwho's making excuses?
@@albertlwjHe doesn’t have any heart. He doesn’t have that ability to push ahead when things aren’t going well. He doesn’t have that killer instinct. You’re right, he just doesn’t care. He’s not built that way and because of that he’ll end up going down as one of the biggest busts of all time. Basically a one-year wonder.
Next LeBron isn't a compliment lol
Ppl give westbrook alot of heat for his poor shooting nights yet he hardly let all the negativity completely let him stop trying as he still goes out there trying his best to impact the game each time he plays..I really respect the man for the heart he plays with
I don't like westbrook, but I was rooting for him in Lakers. He never backed down and never gave up on his team and never walked off the court before the game was over, unlike some diva.
what you're actually saying is "despite westbrook shooting terrible shots and missing and people telling him to stop shooting, he keeps shooting terrible shots"
@@dennistang5935 open, yet terrible shots. at least he shot the open shots. no need to further produce the hate that the comment is talking about, like do you really dislike him that much? also he produces a lot of energy and opportunity on the court, simmons is just a sim
@@Explivious let's go over westbrook's last 3 playoff's. He's had a game where he's gone, 4/15, 3/19, 3/18, and an another 3/19 game. playoff games can be decided by 5-10 points, so westbrook's terrible shot selection is costing his team wins. Simmons might not help you win, but he's not going to shoot your team out of the game.
@@dennistang5935 I just don't think it's right to point at westbrook's misses, when his team wasn't there for him either. he was reaching for an impossible shot every time he shot basically, and his team was invisible on the court compared to him at times
Ben Simmons is a player, not a baller. As in, he doesn't ball for the NBA, he played the NBA.
In the future... its going to be known as... you pull a BEN SIMON
same with ayton
@@redswordz9131def not the same ayton is still serviceable he does have a low motor but Ben has NO motor
@@redswordz9131 Ayton doesn't like the Suns organization. He still hoops.
Underrated comment
Ben Simmons really think he be fooling us 😂
'Yes, he did it!' Sounds like a father talking about his 3 year old son.
Ben Simmons is probably the only player I can think of (off the top of my head) where his career decline has nothing to do with injuries, and everything to do with being mentally weak.
Like usually when a player has this drastic of a decline in performance, it’s because of an injury that greatly impacted their play.
But I’m Ben’s case, that’s just not what happened. I honestly can’t think of another star player where this happened.
I can name star players who declined after injury, or even after another star player from the team was traded away, but not because he’s too mentally frail.
Like this is wild.
He's a crybaby who decided to pout and give up instead of put in work to become better. I can't wait to never see him in the league again
it's not about being mentally frail. It's about not caring. He got his fatass contract that pays him 10s of millions a year no matter how bad he is. He flatout refuses to work on shooting with coaches. Refused to train for the entire season.
If the reason is just "mentally weak", NBA teams have a whole team of qualified sports psychiatrists to work with. Every coach that's ever worked with him says the same thing. He refuses to get better.
Although I don't like Ben, he got back surgery. Nobody is getting back surgery with a completely healthy back like you're suggesting
I have to check the dates, but I believe he came back and was physically fine after surgery. Especially at his age. @@the2dudes1
This new CBA will put players like Ben Simmons out of their misery. He will get the veteran mimimum offer next year at best. I don't think there are any teams willing to bet on Simmons on the long term. Someone might give him a chance on the cheap, but I have a hard time believing he will be humble enough to take that deal...
He is not playing any significant minutes again.
He's not getting another contract after this. He's literally team poison, and a snake who needs to go back from where it came before it meets the lawn mower
The ultimate tanking point guard, I think he can earn a couple million for a few seasons on the bottom feeding teams
@@napalmpudding there is a chance that he can still figure it out, but it doesn't seem like he has the mental fortitude to do so. He can get one more "second chance" but if that doesn't work out, he is done... He was good in Philly before he was bad and I don't know if he will ever be back there physically and mentally. Seems like a stretch now, but you never know. He just seems happy to collect his checks and do nothing for it.
@@timometsanoja9666 if he wanted to, he could carve a niche in the league as a cutting and rebounding 2-way player, but like you said that isn't going to happen if he can't fix his mentality. I think he can get near enough to his physical prime again but it's all about whether or not he wants it. I'd agree with you though, he's got one more shot for a bad team and if he doesn't show anything than he is done.
He might not be NBA level basketball player. But he's certainly top-notch at marketing
Fr. I wouldn't be surprised if he also had a firm on the payroll to generate positive online comments. A lot of the praise for him has the feel of astroturffing.
Of course he’s a NBA level player.
He’s top notch at being in the right social circles.
@@somethinglikethat2176 in today's world I'm inclined to believe this 100%
No amount of shot-doctor work will pay off until Simmons switches back to his dominant hand. Simmons is a natural righty, but his father made him shoot with his left hand, thinking it would be an advantage down the line. Simmons consistently finishes at the basket with his right hand, but his perimeter mechanics are stiff, like a dancer trying to follow a memorized pattern rather than moving with the music.
his dad really did that? yeah wtf, obvious to go with the dominant hand lol
If his contract actually ends after this upcoming season, then this means this is Bens last chance to prove to the Nets that they shouldn’t waive him after his contract is up.
Most likely he ain't proving himself to anyone though
I think even if he do good this season he isn't getting a good contract going forward and since he have shown that it's all about the money to him it would reduce his motivation to continue and would just end his career. He had so much potential unfortunately he didn't have the work ethic to make it work. At the end of the day talent is nothing without effort
@@Nazoto i agree it's a little sad to see Simmons plummet like this but in the end he really has to work for his bag
Apparently the average person uses way too much toilet paper.
@@NazotoThank you, very true .
I think the weird/crazy part is the contrast between Ben and Zion. JJ has openly said Zion is a bad teammate while continuing to hold out hope for Ben. To me that puts Zion's work ethic and/or his ability to be a teammate into a horrible light. Like if Zion plays his average game number again this year (29) he'll probably have less games played than Paolo.
He's called him out in a moment when he was a bad teammate. He didn't call him a bad teammate. Two different things
@@irlshinigami4390 Um, he literally said he's a detached teamate, which a constant pattern of that behavior. Aka a bad teamate. Listen to what you just said. Called him out for being a bad teammate, but didn't call him a bad teammate? Does he need to spell it out for you?
For some irrelevant reason, you are talking about Zion on a video that does not talk about Zion.
@@kwyatt261it's not irrelevant. Zion and Ben are two number one picks who have terrible work ethic and will not live up to their potential. There. Made the connection for you...
Ben s work ethic not the issue. He s soft
Wasn't Dwight just being a good teammate? 😂
You can tell he forced to spew bs he was blinking like crazy
You know Dwight ain’t believe that shit 😂
Ya, that was also the beginning of the 20-21 season where Simmons was still on the rise as a player and didnt really get exposed for what he is until the playoffs.
My greatest victory lap in my personal history of watching basketball was claiming the 76ers should’ve traded Simmons after year 2 of the never shoot anything away from the rim, be bad at free throws, and I’m parking my ass in the dunkers spot to gum up our late game offense while being a non factor experience.
Then he found a way to subvert my already low expectations.
Love your content. Please make videos everyday. Lets get you to 1 mil
I never believed Ben had any mental issues. What I never see people mention when that comes up is that he claimed he got a diagnosis from a doctor. And when the sixers asked for the receipt his response was “just believe me”. Also, maybe people outside Philly don’t know this but just about a week before Ben claimed mental health issues Lane Johnson from the Eagles came out after missing a couple games and said he had been struggling with depression. Suddenly right after that Ben caught depression too. Seems just too convenient.
It’s a damn shame he pulled the mental health card. Demar and a few other nba players has said that you got players who wanna ball and win championships and then you have those who are in it for the money
Contagious depression
Oh he sure does have mental health issues, but not the kind he would have us believe....
Is it possible it's none of their buisness and he doesn't want anything leaked by these people with agendas? I don't know why you come to the conclusion he is faking it. Is it because he smiled during a 20 minute interview? You can tell something is up by how passive he is compared to before.
@@ItIsYouAreNotYour no, it's the rest of his personality that makes people think he's lying.
Also if you're calling in sick from work, most employers will want a drs note.
Hoop Report you always the Hoop Reports community have hopes for GSW keep up the fire videos man 🔥
Doing his best impersonation of Kawhi and Zion. ‘I’ll play when I feel like it but in the meantime keep the money flowing into my bank account’.
At least they play well when they are on the court
You can’t compared kawhi to either one. Kawhi has proven he can be the best player on a championship team. Neither Ben nor Zion are even close to this
@@penelopelewis7775 Zion played well enough to make the Pelicans the 1 seed while he was playing last season
Nah this is a disrespectful comparison💀
Kawhi atleast tries to play injured and is a legit baller even then
Zion has real health issues but he still showed effort before getting injured again
@@gmdwill nah ctfu. A regular season 1 seed. And leading the Toronto raptors to a nba finals and winning are two completely different universes bro
Sixers fan. Y’all owe us all an apology. Everyone blamed us.
Ong
@@BixeqeShorts they always tryna blame Philly. Ain’t nothing wrong with us. This a tough city, and we give our all everyday just to get by. We want our millionaire athletes to be dawgs. Jalen hurts is the perfect example. He is a dawg. Win or lose we know he gave us his all.
@@penelopelewis7775 exactly
Nothing wrong with that@@penelopelewis7775
I have the feeling that he would play the season of his career, a dumb org give him the bag and he would literally finnessed like he's doing rn all over again.
I completely disagree. After passing up the dunk in that playoff series against the Hawks, he was finished as a good player. Even though he has 2 more seasons left on his contract, the Nets should keep him deactivated, buy him out in January, and cut him. He's finished.
I agree with the OP wholeheartedly. I have this feeling in my gut that Ben is going to show out this season, get a big bag, then go back to doing his bullshit....
Everybody wanted to criticize Marcus Smarts over willingness to shoot but if he ever paid too much attention to it he would be like Simmons now.
Great video! Ben Simmons is going to ruin contracts for future athletes. I'm sure the league will implement clauses because of the way he has taken advantage of his contract.
dang you deserve more views and subscribers
This dude be killing with his little chuckle .... lol
He has to play this year. No more excuses.
Exactly if he has another crap showing with so-called "injury"
His career WILL definitely be OVER
I feel like if Ben has and fans have taught us anything, there's always another excuse
No matter what you say , he is still in the running for Rookie of the Year ! 😂
Love the vids
The league figured him out and he knows it. The fact the Sixers gave him that extension was absolutely ridiculous.
No it was because he was a 3 time Allstar you slow d head
easy money
This is a classic 🔥🔥🔥
8:10 “I think we all emphasize what he was going through.” 😂😂😂😂
Bruh I think the words you might be looking for is empathize
As much as I think Ben Simmons plays people to think he’s actually working on his game, I actually believe there’s a small chance he’s trying to get better this year. If he doesn’t then he’s going to get bounced out the league and Ben still wants his 💰
🤣
i bet he balls out this season gets paid and goes back to being Ben. He just wants the lifestyle basketball is just his job that he doesnt really like.
His money is guaranteed so he’s getting his money regardless.
This contract is the bag, he doesn't need another contract. He finessed the league, he's just trying to get in and get out quickly with as much money as he can. And I absolutely hate him for it.
@@kwyatt261he needs another contract. He's going to go broke if he isn't already. You forget part of the Sixer's saga where the Sixers were withholding his money and Ben was having money issues. If he doesn't keep getting NBA checks, he'll be broke before too long.
The way he be balling with Bron Bron in the gym practicing his skills I would love to see them being teammates 💯
8:11 “As humans, we can emphasize with him…”
I think the word you were looking for is “empathize” my guys lmao
Gotta thank Charles Barkley.... Everyone stay saying "triple single" now 😂
1:24 totally unrelated to the vid but why do you have lazada ph on there?
Ben simmons is my idol man, he makes me believe even I can make the nba at 30 years old
The way you started the video I almost died literally
2 videos within 24 hours lets go
honestly is there a way for them to just not pay athletes that don't play under a teams discretion
Ben Simmons needs a lot of therapy
Nah, he just needs to be on Guangdong Tigers. He's always been a tiger since LSU Tigers days imo.
Nope, people with real mental issues need therapy, this dude is spolied, selfish and lustfull that's not a mental problem, it's just his personality.
Finally more and more people are talking about this... This dude legit been quietly stealing from the NBA for the past 2 years, and people still defends him or gives him 2nd chances...
I hope for him he didn't spend all of it, because I have a feeling he'll never seen that much money in his life!
He bought a 20 million dollar house and a whole bunch of other toys. I don’t remember how much he got paid but odds are he already blew most of it.
That JJ Reddick interview told me he was done. Dude was delusional. Completely fine saying his defense and passing makes up for his weak ass J and that ppl need to pay attention to those numbers. Oblivious to the fact that his defense and passing were good, but hadn’t improved since he came into the league. His decline in offense actually made his passing less effective
Agreed, I don't know how people looked at that interview and didn't come up with that same conclusion. Throughout the whole interview it seemed like he was not owning up to the problem. He was excusing his lack of shooting by mentioning the other parts of his game. He's an NBA player for christ sake and doesn't shoot 3s. In today's 3pt dominated era it is unheard of for a guard to literally not shoot. That's like a quaterback that doesn't throw passes instead just does handoffs. That's an integral part of his job that he refuses to do, and the fact that he wouldn't acknowledge how detrimental it is to his game/team, it told me everything I needed to know about his mindset.
@@BD77-dg8bn ya. Think most ppl just never saw the full interview. JJ didn’t help either, but he was admittedly in an awkward spot and was foolishly hopin Ben would critique himself.
Being atrocious at 3s is actually not the huge problem Ben thinks it is. It’s is unwillingness to even attempt them that’s making him unplayable. Which goes along w/ his unwillingness to devote every possible minute he has to improving that part of his game to become at least manageable at it. His mentality is just, “ppl hate on my J, but they don’t see everything else in doing to impact the game.” And I don’t blame him completely either for that. He got a max deal and all-pro nom just by lacing his shoes up. Seems also when he was younger and always the best at everything, anytime he faced some adversity he picked his ball up and went home. He never had the drive to improve and never needed to. I hope he fixes his J, but looks like he’d need to fix him mindset first.
@@tjanderson5892 JJ was reluctant to grill him on the subject. Then he started to argue in Simmon's favor by bringing up statistics of how his assists makes up for his complete lack of shooting. I don't buy that argument at all and it was weird watching JJ bring it up.
Dude is 26 and has been in the league for 7yrs now. He's a lost cause at this point
Next season he will make a 2 hour special
Ben has that perpetual rookie jitters being in the running for rookie of the year each year...
That smirk says it all.
i think he really is stealing money. i dont think he has any intention of playing basketball. hes stealing all he can before retiring
I stopped watching the NBA when Jordan left the Bulls for the second time. I don't know who Ben Simmons is, but he seems like an athlete who got paid once, got hurt and figured out that he could still get paid without having to play. Reminds me of RGIII.
I'm not only Australian but Ben played some of his first Basketball in my home town since his father played/coached for the local NBL team so yeah, I really wanted this to work out but hey, here we are.
Long story short, He was born in Melbourne so they can claim him if they want.
6:20 is that @LegendofWinning
"ben simmons has a jumper" chat is this real???
I always knew he didn't have the chops for the NBA. I remember the ringer posting a video about how Ben Simmons is basically a super human athlete playing 5D space chess with the defense and cringing really hard. In an era where shooting is probably the most important skill, there was no way he could have an Impact.
I knew who he was in 2019 when he quit on that Kawhi shot
This is why fully guaranteed contracts are stupid. It can destroy a club for years to come. Should be like nfl, 3 years guarantee, and the final years are non guaranteed
simmons to warriors would be devastating for the league
What if the warriors got ben Simmons
Fuck nah
Ben Simmons nasty
they're not stupid
Ben photoshopped his recent gym workout photo by enhanced his muscle. First, He posted a photo of him doing weight in his Instagram story. But one day later, he posted the same photo in his Instagram but this one has slimmer arms than the one in his story.
All this can be summed up to one sentence. He can't handle the pressure on court.
Dude got his bag and split. Good for him.
In the immortal words of Kyrie "Shoot it Ben"
Someone in the drafting reports said something along the lines of Simmons having mental fragility - and that's pretty much the case. A lot of potential, but it's getting wasted and not realised because he both can't work hard enough, and can't push through adversity.
Honestly, if you had Simmons' raw talent and Jimmy Bucket's attitude rolled into one player they'd potentially be an MVP candidate.
You don't get it, Ben Simmons just REALLY wants to play for the Shanghai Sharks
Make a video based off of the NBA draft and what to expect
If Ben tricked u into thinking he was gonna play again that's ur own damn fault
For some reason I'm still pulling for Ben.
Why is Ben Simmons the most bullied player in NBA history? Would love to see him on a team that knows how to use him and help him get over his demons
Kyrie yelling shoot it while the Greek freak is standing right there is hilarious 😂😂
He reminds me of a guy I went to highschool with. He went to UConn and won 2 National championship and defensive player of the year. He was drafted in the first round and just bounced from team to team until he eventually ended up in Europe. The guy had all the talent in the world, but he had a horrible work ethic and refused to bulk up in the NBA. I was always baffled that a man of his caliber, he was an abysmal free throw shooter. I mean it’s your job, he should be able to shoot from anywhere on the court. I’ll never forget an announcers words when he was taking a free throw, “That’s a lot of moving parts and none work with each other.”
Shabbaz Napier? Okafor?
@@toddpacker1015 , I won’t do my man dirty like that and actually name him. I will say it wasn’t any of the three you mentioned.
@@lordchaa1598 Fair
8:13 *empathize
If there was a definition of "finesser" in the dictionary, you'd see Ben Simmons' picture there!
ben simmon need to make more hype video
Bro is ROBBING that team in front of the whole world LEGALLY 🤣🤣🤣
He's got a bright future as an influencer than a basketball player 😂
At this point I doubt he is even worth 10% of his contract. Hope he can play better than when he entered the league, but so far it doesn't look that way.
Stick a fork in him. He's done like a thanksgiving turkey. It would take a miracle for him to turn around at this point.
This dude gave up on GSW after the CP3 trade🤣 lol
😂 I hope not.
I remember when they compared him to LEBRON 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a nets fan I am so happy the contract expires at the end of next season. 1 more year let’s go nets
Ben still thinking like "it's my turn" 😅😂
170 million dollars to do absolutely nothing. Unreal.
Hey hoop reports stop avoiding the elephant in the room and talk about the cp3 trade!!!!!
Make a video on what Chris paul can do for the warriors
He'd make a good water boy while injured on the bench
I do think his best role at this point is 20 min a game backup point. But, the Warriors arent really that fit.
Maybe he can mentor the young bench guys, but it doesnt seem to be in Kerr's DNA to really work in the young guys.
@@demonkingbadger6689 and he plays slow. Booker even plays faster when CP3 was hurt and they win games. When he comes back the game slows and they lose a couple of games.
Help them lose round 1 of the playoffs
Some people did not pay attention to draft reports that this guy has ZERO competitive spirit in him.
This will be the best year of his career. Its contract year. And he will fool us again
I cant understand why any team trying keep him around wouldn't demote him to the G league until he proves hes ready to play at NBA level, physically and mentally. Is there stipulations in these players contracts that prevents that from happening?
Somehow Ben Simmons become really really good during off-season. But vanish during regular season
Ben had SAS spinning like he was prime Hakeem
2 words, work ethic!! Enough said, move on.
You didn’t even expose the man for doctoring his workout pics lol
Are you really trying to compare Lebron to Ben?
Then, who is a better defender?
Let's start there.
Wouldn’t mind seeing him on the warriors
People rooting for Ben and getting really excited about the one three-pointer are just fans wishing him success and that's a great thing.
Obviously next year he needs to get his shit together for another contract at all.
It might be an uphill battle for him to get minutes at this point. 😂
remember when people said he was a better Giannis. yep, that was an actual opinion people held
It’s time for teams to make him a old school PF or Center. Back to the basket player. That’s the only way I think he will have success.
Being an Aussie, I loved Ben Simmons and would defend him time and time again. Now I just cannot defend him anymore. He is a straight up bust. Wait a waste, so much potential. His worst enemy is himself.
Zion: "hold my beer"
