Dude your voice sounds so professional, I looked at your subs and thought you had waaaay more than you do
lowk now that im hearing it sounds like a ai reporter really good video tho
Same. Would have never noticed. Good ear.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the feedback. Yes, it is my real voice recording and not Ai, I will continue to put out great content and hopefully subs will come.
Lol sorry bro.. thank you. Original commenter didn't jump to conclusions like I did. Thats crazy I swear I hear you on at least 5 other channels😂
Ben is probably happy he doesn't have to play basketball anymore
He’s rich and he can just get lazy now and spend all that money some people lose interest in ball
Probably??
But the problem is that he still wants be paid which is crazy to me
@@shorts26 buyout and cut your loses
Spoiled and spoon fed
i know a lot of good people in this comment section would work harder than simmons ever would in a lifetime, if they had his physical gifts, just to be in the NBA...
If I was 6'10 & as physically gifted as that guy, you wouldn't actually need to work that hard. He's doing the absolute bare minimum in order to skate by & doing everything in his power to avoid shooting the basketball. Imagine going to your job everyday & spending 80% of the time in the bathroom hiding so you don't need to reply to emails, or answer phone calls, or talk to customers, or load trucks or whatever. The boss would fire you almost immediately if you kept doing it. He certainly wouldn't keep you around for years paying you tons of money to do nothing.
Great comparisons here, embarrassing
@@zepherscotty indeed, good sir... if anyone else was put in his position, i believe they'd put in way more effort and time into improvement and growth , waaaaaaay more than simmons ever would...
whether it be jumpshots, defense, rebounding, anyone else here would actually put in the effort... we'd all be grateful just for the opportunity, how much more if we're getting paid so much...
@@zepherscotty Your coping hard as fuck if you honestly think this. The only thing given to Ben was his height. His athleticism was earned and if you don't understand this there's a reason you probably never even made it to a highschool level lol.
I may not be good but Gawddamit Ima try my ass off!
It’s obvious he doesn’t care. He got his bag and if he didn’t waste his money he can retire comfortably at a young age . That was his plan all along
Played us like a damn fiddle 😂
Yup!!.
@@keontaewilliams5197 played us like a yokel 🤣
Next up, Zion. Dude was cleared to play but "not ready mentally" for a must win or go home game at home.
Thanks for watching! I have added it to queue of topic to make a video on next. Thanks for the suggestion.
Zion's the next ben simmons.
Zion williamson needs that Max contract then he can relax in playstation how can a team sign him to a max when he plays 20 percent of the time
Doc rivers always looks on the verge of tears
Bridges is the Nets' new main man now.
As he should be! Talk about a workhorse who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty! Imagine how unstoppable the 76's would have been if they wouldn't had traded him.
@@Anonymous-ld7je agreed Bridges has mamba attitude
You gotta point out that the Hawks series was not a one off - it was the final straw of a 4 year issue of Simmons NEVER working on his game - NEVER taking ANY accountability- he backstabbed the entire team who wanted to win as he sabotaged them for his ego and narcissism.
Ben was babied at LSU and the Sixers - He tried to get them to trade Embiid the year before. We lost Jimmy Buttler cause of that bum. That was the last straw.
Ben was never gonna be as good as he was hyped to be cause it was potential - and he didn’t care at all.
Ben is having surgeries to avoid playing.
People will absolutely do that when they are that scared of something. He can rehab and get paid almost 40 million dollars to not pay and just chill.
He was never that good in Philly. The team was built to hide his flaws and that was more enabling.
The entire reason Joel Embiid can shoot 3s is cause Simmons refused to play on the perimeter- and all he wanted to do was sit under the basket.
What form would Simmons been regaining?
Simmons mental health is an excuse - I am a therapist - there is a difference between a mental health issue and someone who is a narcissist who thinks they are above accountability for anything they do or refuse to do.
Simmons was coached by a family friend at LSU - he was coached by a family friend on the Sixers - Brett Brown - got him fired cause Ben REFUSED to attempt any 3 pointers when Brett asked Ben to take 1 three a game. Not make one - attempt one.
Simmons didn’t shoot a 3 for the rest of that season.
Simmons - a person who is insisting he is a starting PG in the NBA - cause the Sixers tried to make him a point forward and he refused cause he wants the ball in his hands and is scared to shoot foul shots - this guy has made 5 three pointers in his entire career - 5.
That’s less than one a season.
What are we talking about here??
This guy was never as good as he was hyped to be - he made fake ALLSTAR appearances when he was going off potential and name recognition.
Also it’s WAY EASIER to play perimeter defense when you are funneling guys to one of the best rim protectors in the game in Joel Embiid.
Also defense is about effort - if Ben didn’t play D, why was he even on the court?? That’s why he played such good D - till he was exposed then he quit that too.
He just doesn’t care - all the hype people and enablers do Ben a disservice - so has his family sheltering him.
You can’t shelter someone who is in a competitive industry like pro-sports.
As soon as Ben was exposed he quit. The second he was exposed to ANY accountability he quit.
He still takes no responsibility for anything that has happened in his career. He has wasted a lot of his money cause of ego and narcissism - he bought all these cars and expensive houses trying to maintain this stupid image - this dude is a sports fraud.
Agree with 95%.
However, afraid or not - you will not elect to have an L4-L5 discectomy for fun or avoidance. That’s highly serious surgery.
Outstanding analysis of deep facts...!!
Guys with such talent are so rare that teams "go through a lot.!" Just to build a team.....how many others would kill to have his opportunitys...opportunity.... nothing but wasted gifts....!!
That's so true about the sixers hiding his flaws. 100%facts
Remember the Lebron comparisons? Remember Lebron himself fanboying over Ben on Twitter? Remember Cowherd placing him over Giannis on his Top-10? Remember the "I'm DPoY" claims? He was always the epitome of overrated and I find it fascinating that no one saw this coming until the Atlanta series.
He's nothing more than a Euroleague role player at this point, and that might be a reach.
China
Kobe said it best, the guy has all the talent a player needs to make it in the NBA, but if he had a jump shot he would be a problem! Problem is Simmons has had 7 years to develop this jump shot, free throws, and taking constructive criticism, and yet no one has pushed him until recently(last 2 yrs.)when the bottom dropped out('21 Playoffs vs. Hawks)from under him. I really feel for this young man, because believe it or not even though he's walking away from a career that he and only he could change the narrative no one else, personally I believe this is only the beginning of his troubles to come, I'll still pray for the brother though!!!
He doesn't care
It wouldn't surprise me if he left the NBA and went to go play basketball in his home country of Australia. Ben will be home in a beautiful place with millions of dollars and still play the game if he wants to
The Ben Simmon's syndrome is spreading throughout the NBA. Hyped young players get 100 mil bags and decide to unofficially 'retire' before their new contracts even kick in. Zion is the next high profile example, but I think it's rife throughout the mid-tier teams.
Zion will be broke soon
I mean he's a basketball player that won't play basketball. He's not Dennis rodman that is so overwhelmingly good at rebounding and defense that he doesn't have to barely shoot.
Exactly
Oh don't worry I'm pretty positive the Minnesota Timberwolves will find a way to make things even worse for us in Minnesota.
😂
I wouldnt be surprised if Minnesoda trades Ant and 4 first picks for him
@@tyrellleach1846 Idk about wolves. I'm hearing rumors nets are currently negotiating with Shanghai Tigers
I think Ben Simmons career went down when he tried to be what the NBA analysts said “He Should Be”!!! Look at Rondo,the man had an amazing career just being himself and Ben could’ve/can do the same exact thing,if he wants to!!!
Y’all remember when Sac offered Tyrese & Buddy for Ben Simmons? That would’ve been horrible for Sac. Simmons ain’t Sabonis baybeeee😂
Also shame on the 76ers for not accepting that trade. Tyrese or Harden? Cmon gimme Tyrese for the next 10 years & NOW.
It’s honestly funny the one time a team doesn’t take a deal with the Kings the kings get a better deal and are now one of the better teams in the league. Go figure.
I thought this was a confirmed story, as in Simmons retired, was waived etc etc. good video though bro subbed 👍 you have a voice made for CZcams
There's no way Ben Simmons would retire because he wants the money. In all likelihood, this is Ben's last NBA contract, and because of the millions in fines he racked up in Philly sitting out, Simmons fully understands how to make sure he gets every last dollar.
Brooklyn, on the other hand, will do whatever it takes to trade Ben. Even if they strike out, at least they can sleep knowing they made every effort to get something for him.
Waiving Ben Simmons now would hit the Nets' salary cap for $78.2 million, including $37.9 million in 2023-24 and $40.3 million in 2024-25. Yeah, they will not eat that, if they can somehow avoid it. 🏀💰
@@TuNnL it’s a nightmare of a contract to get rid of from a nets POV. I don’t doubt Simmons wants the money, that goes without saying, and I don’t fault him for that. I DO doubt there will be many of any that’d be willing to invest anymore time into him.
Guess we’ll see. I’m not a hater, and when Ben Simmons was on fire he was fun to watch. I’d like a Fultz style comeback.
@@froggyspond1133 I don't believe an NBA team (other than Brooklyn) will attempt to trade for Ben this summer, so his window for a comeback is next season. The Nets will give Simmons 15-20 games to show them something, and if he raises his value enough to interest a single NBA team, they will trade him by the deadline.
If not, Brooklyn will look into some sort of "medical hardship" clause in the CBA which exempts them from the salary cap hit, and barring that, they will negotiate some sort of agreement where Ben retires, but still gets paid, even if it is the full amount.
The Miami Heat did this for Chris Bosh, who certainly deserved it more than Simmons does. The Nets would merely do it because there are very few ways out of a guaranteed contract. 🏀📜💰
He makes 33 million a year he might be the highest paid g league player ever, where he will average 5 ppg
Bro going straight to the warriors
He could move back to Australia to play basketball 🤷🏾♂️
He doesn’t want to play basketball that’s the problem I think he’s happy with the money he’s made and he doesn’t like the pressure at all. I’m a sixers fan and loved when we got him but was glad to see him go. Good luck to him he’s wealthy and young but he stole that money and should be required a majority of it back to the nets …
Not trying to be nit picky, but maybe do a little outro at the end of your videos...? It just abruptly cut off.
The editing in this video could use a lot of work on the sample sections
Can we all admit now that Spida should have been ROY?
agreed...
Nah.
idk the stats of the top of my hedb ut like if we has teh best *that* year
Simmons was only better in the first place because of his efficiency But I guarantee you if Spida was a pu$$y lile Ben and only took shots within 4 feet of the cup, he too could have had the same or better percentage.
Nah he's not playing so great now but he definitely outplayed Spida that yr. If anything your argument should be he wasn't a true rookie. He didn't play his rookie season.
He's not even trying to improve his shooting and freethrow, what a wasted talent
Lack of heart, too fragile
I think someone will give him a chance. I really hope he comes back and has a hall fame type of career
Let's hope so
271st subscriber here hehehehe
Funny how people said the same about Dillon Brooks.....
People say whatever they want then pretend they didn't say anything at all when they're wrong.
Turn down that background music bro otherwise nice video or change it to something more smoove
Simmons should give back every single penny that was given to him.
Why doesn't anybody talk about Ben's shooting coach? It was his brother!! The same brother that used to get in social media fights defending his brother
Anyone?
They cant give him away.. That would require a team to take on his ridiculous salary and that would be foolish. He is not worth the NBA minimum. No work ethic, no grit, no heart....not a winner.
Ngl bro, content was fire, but the editing was kinda iffy
Then you do the editing jackass..
This is crazy🤯maybe Simmons should see a hypnosis to help him mentally get over his anxiety or go G league to boost his confidence
Ben is about to start a podcast
Franklin 🏆👏🥇
Michael jordan said it perfectly. Rookies get paid based on hype and potential. Players coming into the League should get paid on production not potential
Absolutely true, players are handed massive contracts early. Thank you for watching!
He's got a guaranteed contract for another 2 years. He just needs to show up for the last one for another team to be interested in him. Maybe he won't get a max guaranteed contract but he'll get a lot of money if he just does 13/7/7 for 1 year. If he does it for several years regardless of no contract, that's draymond green money.
Proof? Look at Andrew Wiggins.
Ben gets over 100 million dollars to do nothing. You really think he’s upset? He could be Bobby Boucher for the next 3 years.
Why did you change your voice dude..😂
Why isn’t he getting offers? Like his stats are bad but not terrible and he’s efficient
Thanks for watching! Ben Simmon hasn’t made it easy for himself, he is scared to play, it was noticeable when he was on the nets, any little foul, he acts like he is injured and subs out to the locker room plus all the flashy clothes he wears on the sidelines. At this point, it looks like he cares more about the nba lifestyle and no desire to play. The nets coach got tired of him and they basically benched him for the rest of the season, no one wants to touch that horrible contract that’s still owed to him. The nets might just have him stay at home for the remainder of his contract just like Houston did John wall.
Best highlight of career: Behind the neck pass to fultz . No more 3s
Worst thing the NBA did was "GIVE" Simmons rookie of the year. Spider Mitchell should have won. At that point ben was like they just give u things in the NBA and they did😂
I don't know the rules of how player contracts are bought out. Ben is owed 74 million for next year and the year after. If the Nets can buy him out this Summer, it might make sense. All he can do now is waste a roster spot and bring negative attention to the Nets.
Thanks Brooklyn.....
Last contact? Naaaah..
In his last year of his contact he'd just play like crazy average 28pts 11ast 12rb and everyone will forget everything and teams will offer him another 5 year contract.. and then after signing that contact he'll sit out another 4 years of it and do it again..
Not only does Ben Simmons not work on his game he actually thinks he can play and be above criticism. Nah fam. This is the pros. Man up.
He can join his boss in the Lakers
how did he hurt his back if he wasn't playing when he got hurt? Off-court shenanigans I guess. Also, his coach telling him don't worry about shooting just give us defense was a setup to fail.
They messed up using him as a second center coming off of back surgery. Dude was not healthy or the same. Not like he doesnt deserve responsibility, but why would he wanna bang with centers coming off back surgery…
I think warriors are the best chance for Simmons's career. If I were him, I would do everything I could to go there, even with a lower wage... and then once you're there you have to work hard and learn how to shoot.
0:43 yea David Idk that question or the answer to that question right now 😒 so yea idk 😏
I BET he'll be a Clipper soon.
Seems like he's what they call a "QUIET QUITTER".
I've read that roughly 65% of NBA players who end their careers with $30M to $40M in earnings go broke within 5 years. Lots of luck to BS. He could have tried or made a major effort to get back to playing elite. Pity he is weak plus lazy plus cowardly plus hypersensitive to boot IMO
One shouldnt wish misfortune on others, but Id love to see Ben Simmons apply for a 9 to 5 Job in five or ten years. Whenever i see him sitting in the audience, the way He dresses, sunglasses on, I have to stop myself from thinking that this guy makes more money in a month scratching his balls than my mother scrubbing toilets in a rehab facility will probably make in her entire worklife
It makes me want to apply for a Community Party membership 😄
I’m not gonna even lie. If I was GUARANTEED 177mill, I would be perfectly okay being listed a scrub and riding the bench the rest of my life..🤷🏼♂️
Ben going to the mavericks will be great. He can help luka running the point and play defense.
Utah wants him. They tried to trade for him before the trade deadline
He shoul just go back to australia and play there because he clearly cant in the USA
Ben is so frustrating to watch, grrr... if im a Nets fan, im hoping theres another team willing to take him on. I dont see this situation improving. Thats just me.
Mr. One and done himself
Let Ben play with Zion and they would be instant showtime. Brooklyn was not the right team for him. Even Houston rockets would be the perfect team for him.
HE WILL BE THE POSTER BOY FOR WHY THE NBA WILL GET RID OF GUARANTEED CONTRACTS!
Never will happen
Ben Simmons needs to be on a team like the warriors. It’s common sense. He needs to be surrounded by shooters like LeBron James.
After that Atlanta play off lost I think he lost his confidence.
Think?
6:11 he hit 5 3’s??
The new ish smith
Nelson Muntz laugh ha ha !!!!!!
I mean for a last contract it at least its a big one
He was finished as soon he had to play real comp and conduct himself as a pro.
I mean, I guess there’s gotta be the 1 or2 stars that just don’t care about basketball, and their legacy🤷♂️ just how it is….Zion can be included in this conversation too🤡💀
Avg 666 is wild
He walked away with a bag
Fit for being an import here in the Philippines. Go to Ginebra as import!!!!
I think he is headed there soon after this contract. Thank you for watching!
He should live comfortably with his money specially if he invested some.
Whem the mind is sick the body naturally follows suit.
Gotta be nuts to trade harden for him
Ben Simmons is obviously a nice guy. Maybe that niceness shows too much in his game?
He's gone Mental. I give it 3-5 years. You'll hear about him, and it won't be good.
Imagine trying to earn a buck by hating on mentally and physically injured athlete…have a look in the mirror bro
Thought He was bout to be a laker real soon.. til he said he parted ways with Rich Paul...😂
I dont think LeBron will be able to tolerate ben softness of missing game because he I scared to play. That would be a shitshow to watch. Thank you for watching!
He was a bit weak mentally. He needs a good culture and team that would push him well. Let him decrease in value and maybe the Warriors could pick him up at a minimum. Maybe the Warriors would be a change of scenery for him like Wiggs.
Totally different situation with Wiggs. Wiggs was good with the Wolves, he's just not the no 1. guy. Simmons has been on two teams where the coaches and teammates don't want him. He puts more effort in dressing up to be noticed on the bench. There's nothing in his background that shows that he wants to put in the work or be a team guy.
@@meyou8141 Yup, I get your point regarding Wiggs. I am just saying the Warriors culture and development team is great in helping not just underappreciated players, but also players who lack in certain areas. Look at Javale and Lee, somehow their strengths are further highlighted in the long run. They might just be the refresher team and culture he needs to probably bring him back to at least a competitive standpoint.
Simmons is basically a Draymond type of player, except that Draymond was a later draft pick, is smart and gives his heart and soul to every game. Draymond can get away with his lack of shooting because of all of the intangibles he brings. Simmons doesn't bring any of that. Simmons needs to go to China and play with Russ on the Shanghai Sharks
He Needs to Play, maybe he can''t score but I rather see him Flail out their like some kinda Spaghetti monster racking up Steals and Assist
He can score
Take Hunter we take Simmons. And
2nd Rd. pick.
Just send Simmons home to Australia!
Waive and stretch coming up.
"WAAAAAAA MY mENTAL hEALTH! I Feel sad while being surrounded by women, being like 6'10, making millions of dollars to play a sport & I'm sad because people tell me to actually try to apply myself & not be afraid of missing a shot! My life is so difficult that even after failing gigantically for 3 or 4 years straight people are still willing to give me shot, after shot, after shot because I'm a physically gifted athlete! Oh woe is me!"
Do u genuinely think money women and height make you happy? All of that is artificial
@@h5v1y0 His reasons for being a sadboi is fucking stupid. He has every gift a human could need to be successful & he's too mentally weak to achieve anything in something as easy as a sport. He's genetically gifted for the game yet doesn't have an ounce of dog in him. I also genuinely believe that he uses that "mental health" garbage as a shield to get people off his back. Also, I'd never have a sad day In my life if I had the money he has.
This guys just done. He just wanted to get the bag and as soon as he got the stupid GM to bite... "retire."
Mavericks should scoop him..
Yes, it will only work if ben isnt scared to play like he did at nets. Missing games for bullshit injuries, Mavs does need defense, which he can provide. Thank you for watching!
The only thing Ben Simmons need is forget his company brought. And when he does all the y'all will be in trouble cause it's all semi go crazy On the court of course Yeah yeah I said the same thing about Grant hill and look what happened. Give that boy a chance he's gonna be special
If I were his HC, I'd take my own money, but him a 1-way ticket back to Australia, and send him onward. He is too soft for the softest form of basketball on earth. He's gotta go.
Hes been in the spotlight since he was a kid... maybe hes just tired 😔.. not everybody is lebron or KOBE... not everybody has that drive
Kyrie Irving should also receive the Veterans' minimum.
They need to black ball him
Better off spending their time and money developing other players that are keen to play.
Man Ben your Talent is somewhere else .but it's not the NBA...find your talent......
Ben “Mental Health” Simmons.
The NETS got played by the 76ers
I think he broke because ben simmon gf saying she is gf of devin brooker ouch that hurt
HE SHOULD OF STAYED IN COLLEGE AND LEARNED THE GAME.....
RUCKER TOURNAMENT IN NYC WOULD MESSED THIS KID UP...
HAVE HEIGHT BUT NOT THE HEART...
FOR THE GAME...
JB.ok
7 yrs in the league.. no development as a basketball player😂😂😂 he’s just collecting bags of money each year😂😂😂 I think it’s time NBA team should let go of him😂😂😂
