True is…. He lost confidence. Missing free throws and not scoring, he started thinking too much instead using instincts. It happens but the problem is him taking accountability for his mistakes and “apparently” he ran from them. 💯🤷🏾♂️
It wasn't the play. It was how he handled the situation for months and months after the play. If he had gone in the locker room and said yes I own it. I screwed up. He would still be on the team.
He still doesn't get it. That's how far removed from reality he is. He doesn't realize he was THERE. There was no reason for ANY pass, you're where everyone wants to be. Poor guy. I think he's done. He's being bullied and criticized and he doesn't think he did anything wrong. SMH.
It’s just a sport people. How about people put this much energy towards children getting massacred at school like in Uganda recently or the food deserts that exist in America. Stop being blinded.

@@troofball4 nah not necessarily, my team the hawks 😭so I watched faithfully what was happening. They was all missing assignments on defense and taking bad shots on offense especially Joel embid. Hawks figured out how to make embid force and he didn’t adjust at all just tried to palm his way through people. Turn it over in crucial moments. Tobias was on and off inconsistent, Ben played great d but was a liability on offense half of the time when he wasn’t aggressive. Maxey was gettin cooked and was still kinda learning the ropes, Seth curry was the actual consistent guy that whole series, and the other players couldn’t get going. Then game 7 embid went to hero ball in the post and it didn’t work as planned tbh my team shoulda lost that series💯
@@aquartermil They took bad shots on offense because Atlanta didn't need to even attempt to guard Ben down the stretch because he was like Scooby Doo in a haunted house he so afraid of the ball
@@troofball4I know this is a 10 month old comment but no it’s not. The whole team didn’t show up for game 7..other than the 31 pts Joel had…the whole team sucked.
Of course it's a HUGE deal. To be so unaware and lacking in confidence to pass up an easy basket in a pivotal moment during the playoffs is something we rarely see from any professional athlete.
It's because Ben sucks at free throws and going for a dunk was going to get him fouled and sent to the line. He didn't want to do that, so that's why he passed
You play in the nba then since you think he’s making excuses? I bet u will be embarrassed .DO U KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WATCHING THE PLAYOFFS? OVER 1M PEOPLE WATCHING THE ONE GAME
Im actually sad for ben. He could have been the next big thing and he got scared and lost passion for basketball. I truly hope he revives his career later on so we can see his true potential
Honestly, stop the Ben hate. He just needs to find his moment. He is a great player. You guys all say this was a terrible mistake, have no idea how hard it is to make the correct decision every time. He is human, he can’t react to everything that happens in a slight second and preform perfectly.
Game 7 2 mins to go quick decision, he didn’t make the wrong one because they still got points off it but he could’ve made a better decision, I don’t blame him
Imagine if Ben dunks the ball, everyone praises him, his confidence is restored, Sixers beat the hawk, win multiple finals, start a dynasty with a Big 3 of EMBIID, Simmons, Maxey
Trae young. This man was afraid of a man a foot smaller than him contesting under the basket. He was afraid of missing, getting fouled, and going to the line. The most frustrating part about this dude is how much talent he has in that body. He’s the polar opposite of Pat Bev and PJ Tucker. We’d all kill to be that gifted.

ah yes trae young the hawks rim protector
😂😂😂😂
Rim protector on HoF, didn’t you know ?
Lmao I was like, so you not gon dunk on 170 pound Trae young?
Isn’t Ben Simmons like 6’10 too? I don’t care if Dikembe is there, make a damn effort

I’m sayin but instead he decided to do what the Seahawks decided to do

He was scared he might miss😂
Nah he was scared he was gonna be fouled and have to shoot free throws.
