"I respect his lack of embarrassment." Gold.
In a perverse way, you have to. Ben has zero self-awareness. None. We can clown him all day. He's still getting his money. That's something the league has to fix.
@@fudgematthew33I don’t know if it’s a lack of awareness honestly, he’s pretty introspective in his interviews, he just sees basketball as a job most of us would be ecstatic to get paid and not have to go to work
@@davidcage7501facts that’s why his legacy will only live on in 2k games and not basketball history
He's really a pioneer, a great man, if you think about it enough...
@@fudgematthew33 No, the league does not have to fix it.
"I thought it was going to be bad for my son because Ben Simmons was going to be a famous basketball player, no longer have those concerns" that killed me lol
Bill you’re dropping bangers today
Bill been in the lab since the playoffs started, ngl
And no Russillo! It's been a good day.
@@hazeofthegreensmoke505 What's wrong with Rusillo?
Can we PLEASE seed the playoffs 1-16
This East/West BS sucks
Russillo is GOAT
I'm always game for a Ben Simmons roast.
Bill Simmons is having a moment
Love the hate to tell you segment where everyone’s like “I got to tell you” 😅
If Woz was 60 years old they would be making fun of his complete inability to follow the format.
Simmons: "It's like when my dad just says whatever..."
Simmons: (Unironically making a late-stage career out of exactly that.)
Hes pretty good in general, are you talking about anything specific?
That you think a guy in his 50s is “late stage” tells me all I need to know about you.
@@Willtellthetruth ouch truth hurts, buy a Maserati and enjoy that midlife crisis mate
Bench Simmons showing up with a clock is wild.
Dude literally just collecting a paycheck and running out the time on his career.
bill simmons roasting Flamengo is really what i needed for my week to get better
Some team in brazil i never heard of 😂😂😂
bill im glad you releasing more content I love your perspective on the game great job
Thank God for more House. Love this trio.
House is so funny.
@@dearmas9068 Wos thinks he's funny because...well, we know why. He ain't. That gene skipped him.
I hate to tell you, but the name of the game is not I GOT TO TELL YOU 😂
Great content as always
Australia doesn't want Ben Simmons on the national team. He's the antithesis of what the team needs.
True.
Canadians don’t want andrew wiggins on the Canadian team.
He was supposed to be the maple Jordan.
Andrew is better then ben simmons come on matter of fact Andrew has had a far above average nba career in reality its just the expectation we put on him that makes it feel like hes coming up short @ryanmussell739
Aaaaaand, he’s starting 😅
Ernie said Shaq, Kenny and Chuck don't go to the meetings. And I've seen them show up late for the broadcast blaming it on traffic or zebras, which is further proof they're not arriving earlier for meetings.
It’s comical because Charles literally lives in a condo about a mile from TNT Studios
And they clearly dont even watch the games they are "analysing" half the time. Its almost a running joke on the show how little they care and how easy their job is and how they cant get fired no matter what they do.
@@enterpassword3313 basketball is almost a side thing on those shows is more about the vibe they have when together
I very much appreciate the honesty
Great show guys 👏🏿 💯
i love House😂
Love these three together!
Barkley said he had an out-clause if they lost the NBA.
Yep, at Shannon's
I'm stealing the "I gotta tell ya" bit 😂
This needs to a full pod. Maybe once a quarter
has Woz ever gone a whole pod without talking about Ben Simmons?
It’s been like 2 years of this and genuinely I find it utterly hilarious each time he brings him up lol. I absolutely love this trio 😭
I hate to tell you but I don’t think half of these were actually using the gimmick correctly
7:15 One good landing spot for Jimmy is Milwaukee, the team he tormented so much. Bucks have Dame, Khris and a bunch of other matching salaries to choose from.
could use a full hour of this 😂
If the nba ever gets rid of guaranteed contracts, the name Ben simmons will definately be involved in the rule
The F Trae Young part was hilarious
Going back to your season preview, House loved the Pacers. Pacers Knicks has lived up to the hype through 3 games.
The Ben Simmons one is real. You can show up looking like that at the met gala but can't show up for your teammates on the court dressed as a basketball player. "Make it make sense"
Ben Simmons is right.
bill's ben simmons zag is epic .
Bill’s on a heater
Ben Simmons is Australian!!
Bill sends up a prayer every night that Jimmy Butler gets traded
Bill, you are welcome to come to Brasil and watch a Flamengo game and experience an amazing crowd that cheers like we are in a soccer game.
Unfortunately, Bill only cares about nba players.
Last year Jimmy wanted to play for Boca Juniors, this year Flamengo, next year ?
Nobody ever heard about Falmengo 😂😂😂
@@Ivetemaria1996 you should get out. Yes they have. Brazil has the most world cup wins in history, everyone in europe south America Africa and Asia knows the main Brazilian clubs
@@MrDuncanquasarArsenal
Hey Bill good call on the nuggets getting swept and the Mavs being finished and scoot Henderson being "far and away the second best player in this draft" and your Evan mobley stock and all your horrible calls since the last time you got anything right, Luka. Which was a tough one considering he was a Euro league MVP at 18. Do you actually watch basketball anymore?!? Kendrick Perkins is sounds like a genius around you lately
Good job Bill
I wished Ben Simmons could be forced to play in the G-league or sued
Fr they should ask Ben Simmons to play in the G League or his money will be written off.
He should be the villian in Zoolander 3
Was it Bill who said "Jimmy Butler isn't so much a clutch playoff performer, as much as he's really a lazy reg season player". Which is 100% true. Ironically, he plays at 80% effort more games than Harden & we all torment Harden for it.
If anyone’s been listening to LeBatard for decades Hochman and Stugotz had this bit way back when, but it was called “I Gotta Tell Ya”
That show is AWFUL
damn,this was a fun show
Ben Simmons will go down as a cautionary tale, a boogeyman, to billionaire owners of pro sports teams. He successfully grifted hundreds of millions of dollar from these tax evading 1%ers. It's all legal, so they can't touch him. I see Ben collecting the last of his big money, signing for minimum 3 to 4 season contract and playing his usual minimum, and then retiring at very young age when it's done.
Except for injuries & "injuries". The biggest problem in the entire league (except new young teams like OKC) is: The big superstars that are past their 30s and prime and still have 50 mill contracts. Completely sabotaging any potential a team has. Shoutout: Suns, Heat, Bucks, Lakers.
I I hate to tell you though the NBA isn't rigged it's certainly biased towards big teams in big markets in big games for long series there's no back alley deals but the executives keep this regime of refs in power because those back alley conversations don't need to be had they understand hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake Between a 7 game series with the Knicks Rather than the pacers advancing. The lakers have 250 free throw differential and the knicks are number 2 and I'm sure it's just a coincidence those are the 2 biggest markets historically
Absolutely. $100+ billion organizations don't leave millions of dollars on the table for the purity of 'fate' without trying to influence the odds in their favor. Over the years, through hundreds of professional referees, there are those agents who emerge who understand the assignment and can execute it with precision and deniability - with prudence only in certain games - without the bosses having to explicitly spell it out in a contract. It's not foolproof. Occasionally athletes will still overcome the odds being stacked against them with the pivotal momentum shifts and key players getting in foul trouble, etc. In the end, the sport still needs to appear to have full integrity. That line felt crossed in 2002 WCF Lakers-Kings.
He looked solid 🤷🏾♂️
Franz is so much younger, Miami would need to add a pick or two to make it work
For Franz Wagner??? LOL.... no.
And Jimmy is 10x better. Miami wouldn’t add anything and would Orlando off the phone 😂
Butler and Durant need to play together in Phoenix. But Butler back to Philly makes a lot of sense too.
Bills content is always mf 🔥 🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒
Butler to spurs w pop would be great
Ernie has already said he won't leave TNT, and he's older, I'm not sure he wouldn't rather retire at this point then start at a new company with new people, so I kind of think House is right.
Also right about Zaslav, but he already is a public enemy with so many of his idiot decisions, he doesn't care. Similar to what Wose said, he's just hanging on cutting costs, setting up few things (like DC, reality show shit on MAX), before WB eventually gets bought by Amazon before 2030 and he gets a parachute of hundreds of millions.
Who would trade for Jimmy though? Funny thing Sixers seems like the only right fit
Maybe pelicans, okc, Sacramento
Shit is fire
In the long run, WB will probably be better off without the NBA. Regarding the pre game show, Ernie has said he wants to stay at TBS even if they lose the NBA. And chuck has said he can’t see himself doing the show without Ernie. So, it may be the end of that group.
I actually don’t think so. With the internet and streaming services ratings and advertising revenue is in the toilet for these big companies who own a bunch of cable stations. Live Sports is like the only thing that still draws big numbers and high ad rev.
Bill might as well pivot the segment to "i gotta tell you" because not only do they keep messing it up, they also change the concept of the bit by keep saying i gotta tell you
Member that time when Butler was too good for Minnesota?
I member.
There are about 9 different trades that the Miami Heat could make with Jimmy Butler in the trade.
Jimmy Butler to Chicago Bulls for Zach Lavine to Miami Heat
Jimmy to Milwaukee Bucks for Damian Lillard to Heat
Jimmy to Washington Wizards for Jordan Poole & Kyle Kuzma, 2024 2nd round draft pick to Heat
Jimmy Butler & Tyler Hero to Golden State for Andrew Wiggins, 2024 2nd round draft pick (sign and trade Klay Thompson) to Heat
Jimmy to Houston Rockets for Dillon Brooks, Jeff Green & Jabari Smith to Heat
Jimmy to Los Angeles Clippers (sign and trade Paul George) to Heat
Jimmy to New Orleans Pelicans for Zion Williamson & Larry Nance Jr to Heat
Jimmy to Phoenix Suns for Devin Booker to Heat
Jimmy to Sacramento Kings for Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter & Trey Lyes to Heat
Butler for Tobias 😂 and Ben Simmions > Ben 10 Simmons
Only reason shaq said something to joker about sga is because they were debating right before joker came on so it only made sense for him to say it to his face
Butler would never go back to Philly. “Tobias over Me”. These guys have Big Egos. He would never go back to Philly, period.
Ben Simmons out "Andrew Bynumed" Andrew Bynum.
Butler 100% is getting traded in 2025 and not getting extended
I dont think ANYONE hates to tell Ben Simmons the truth. Wos didnt understand the assignment
I hate to tell ya, but 360p doesn't cut it Bill!
Well at least when Ben Simmons hits that fade away it'll be the one shot he makes
Here’s what I think is really bad for Ben Simmons. If he were 6’2’ or even 6’5”- he could just be a rich entrepreneur, but the man is 6ft 10in tall!! He is an unmistakeable NBA athlete. Everywhere he goes, it’s going to be oh yeah- you’re the guy who collected 100 million without playing for two years!!
House is phyllip seymour hoffman
Big Wos! I love the Ben Simmons commentary
Reminder that Wosny Lambre doesn’t watch ball and spoke last time for 10 minutes as he faked stats to hate on Sabonis all while he mixed up Cam Thomas and Cam Johnson without catching himself. Bum.
Wos is the man
I thought bill died a couple years ago and this showed up in my feed. I’m glad he’s not dead but I’m uninterested.
Lmao
Hey House, Us aussies don't ever want to see him in a Aussie uniform ever again, you can keep him lol
Surprised this isn’t the I hate to tell you draft
1:27 while a guy like me who’s college career high is 5pts can out shoot him. Lol
We need Inside the NBA with Roundball Rock and NBC will earn the A package in no time.
I'm sure Reggie didn't take it too personal. I've been to Knicks game in MSG and they generally are also cursing at their own team.
are your webcams from 2009, what is this quality lmfao
ikr. It's shite
This is what happens when you have someone at a 4th location recording self produced video from 3 other locations. Improving the production would require producers in all 3 locations lol. They could do it for Bill but then he would look way better than the guest and it’d be weird. Just listen to the podcast if you don’t like the quality
Jimmy back to Philly
Damn.... Lakers send Rui, Dlo, Christie, 2 unprotected 1st Rd picks for Dame.
Wait...so we're dragging an athlete in his 20's who makes guaranteed millions because he has no self-awareness. Yeah, OK. Ben Simmons is the way he is because someone decided long ago that giving NBA players guaranteed money was a good idea. It's not, and hasn't been for years. We're seeing the consequences.
Bill is very busy today.
More Wos!
Did you guys really edit out Wos’s cat? wtf!
I think having dame giannis kahris malik and lopez with portis pat is still a good core for a postseason run out east...
I’m surprised they don’t understand F U is an expression of love in NY. We just have strange bedfellows.
Bill is right
Ben Simmons won
So, the Nuggets just tied up the series with the Wolves. Let me throw a hypothetical out there. Everyone is comparing Edwards to Jordan but what if it's Jokic and the Nuggets who follow the 90s Bulls' path and the Wolves play the part of the Knicks? First round last year. This year second round while giving them way more than anyone expected. Nuggets stumble around a bit but ultimately win it again. Next year, they meet in the WCF and the whole season has been building to this. The Wolves are primed and ready and even look like they are actually going to do it but Jokic goes to yet another crazy gear and the Nuggets take them down again and then 3-peat. Jokic retires because he's bored and tired of all the hate. He's gone for a couple of years but then realizes that he wants to run the biggest horse ranch in Eurasia and notices that Naz Reid signed for $40 million per year. So, he comes back, the Nuggets have signed a focused and rejuvenated Marcus Smart along with a replenished bench, Jokic discovers a new genuine joy in the game and goes for another 3 chips.
Mia trading Butler away to recive PG13 doesn't make Mia better 😂 you have to find a way to keep Butler and George together for that to make any sense.
Simple, Dame for Butler 😂
Don’t tell me Trae Young is actually not good. I couldn’t take that 😅
I think Ben Simmons is trash but I also hate how much other people discuss other peoples salaries I bet Bill simmons will never let you know how much he makes and sit discuss his funds. I never knew what players made growing.
He dressed up as a clock.
Y’all compare going to the met gala to plsying hurt? This shit did nothing to hurt Ben Simmons at all
They not trading jimmy and definitely not for George
If ben simmons had a shot we wouldn't even care but he doesn't still
i hate to tell you bill (and ethan) but the wnba teams aren’t changing their names to match nba teams
I hate to tell you, Bill (and Ethan), that was one of the worst pitches I ever heard to solve a problem that never existed.
These guys Simmons has on co host is fucking wack, the dude coming at Ben cause he had a life, seems really lame, dude just seems jealous. You as a man should never hate or envy another man.
Jimmy to the Rockets! 🚀
The irony of Knicks fans chanting "f__ trae young" when they have their own trae young now. Jumping backwards into people's faces like a punk
Ben Simmons hung out with Kevin Brennan (funnier brother of the co-creator of the Chappelle Show) at a liquor store at the start of last year's playoffs. The Met Gala is extremely lame. I would rather party at Fire Island with Vito Spatafore and Johnny Cakes.
Why do y’all think Ben Simmons cares about his image for strangers?
Butler to New York for randle and Robinson
