With what Reggie tweeted, Ben will now be out for another year. He gets injured hearing criticism.
Lol
snowflake.
Imagine Ben an Anthony Davis in one team fark lol
200ml for 5years he all ready set up for life
Does anyone actually believe the mental health excuses? He's probably doing everyone with actual mental health issues a disservice with his cowardice
Me and Ben Simmons played the exact same amount of minutes in the NBA this year!!! I’m so proud of myself!!
😅🤣🤣🤣me too
@@rb34life6 I’m on the same level as a current NBA player, I’m saying it now 😂😅
We scored the same points too
shouldn't you be disappointed?😂😂😂
😭😭😭
That's why Kobe is so beloved and respected, not only among NBA players but other sports as well. Dude gave his heart and soul to the game, and never cheated you with effort.
Except for when he decided not to shoot in 07 against the Suns
@@MrTimLee84 he did that to prove a point
Additionally, he gave his shoulder, a couple of fingers, and a lot of body parts that I'm not aware of.
Edit: Forgot the Achilles.
@@22deeboi The second half of a game 7 was the wrong time to make a point. Kobe's a legend but that's probably the worst moment of his on-court career.
@@MrTimLee84 casual.
Stephen A. put it perfectly: Guaranteed money is going to decrease in the next collective bargaining agreement, and it will be called the "Ben Simmons Rule."
They should and kick him out the league
@@G9Classified9 Yeah, I've always been anti-Ben, not loud though, but Even his face infuriates me now. Shaq with the "We ballas know what you doing...we know what you doing.." with that sneaky Look. He is 100% correct!!!
Honestly, the fans are on the owners side. Do like the NFL, no guaranteed contracts and you can get cut at any time. These guys don't want to play.
In the next CBA, the owners need to be able to sue players who refuse to play. The contracts are so one-sided towards the players' side to the point that they are allowed to do breach of contract. The fact that Ben Simmons is asking more money from Philly is laughable. He should be paying Philly back for breaching his contract.
Ben Simmons before game 3
“I’m back!!! I’m Back😝”
Ben Simmons after game 3
“My back..My back 😣”
God reference
😂🤣
Ayo 😂😭
Ben the only player who nobody seen get HURT
He didn't Physically get hurt.
He wasn't Emotionally hurt like he claims he was in Philly
So what is it now? Was he Sexually Hurt?
The classic maguire maneuver
Charles Barkley may not have won a championship but he definitely has a champion’s mindset, and that’s something very few people have.
That's why we don't call him Championship Chuck 😭🤣🤣🤣
Barkley by his own admission was lazy and in Love with food. He didn’t have a Champ mindset
a lot of great players and leaders never win the big reward sadly man but if you can portray that you deserve it then you've made a bigger impact if people use you as an influence to go on and win chips themselves
Do yo research on Chuck when he was playing, he ain’t got no mf championship mindset😭
I love Chuck, he’s the best on this show…but I’m sure even HE would say he didn’t have that mindset back when he was playing. Cause if he did, he would’ve won at least one.
I remember Drexler with the rockets. Came down with this brutal flu in I think the 2nd round. Lost 10 pounds. Showed up looking like actual death. Only played like 8 minutes and looked like he needed to be hospitalized. But what he said after the game and says to this day was "I had to try." That's what gamers do.
Ben doesn't have heart
People around him 👶 Ben too much.
And this was an older clyde "the glide" drexler too, he was still out there trying. Ben simmons is a young dude, SMDH!! Can you imagine ben playing with larry bird, magic johnson, isiah "zeke" thomas or karl malone; they all would've cussed ben out!!
N aw , they all would've touch him up!!
Hope nobody else caught it from him lol
the worst part is him trying to still get paid 🤮 it’s rlly sick and pathetic for the game of basketball and nba
I don’t mess with him but nah, get your money. This league is nasty
@@bkballa989 guys all around the world would sell their soul for "the bag". "Get your money", but lose respect from everyone and have a weak reputation. Nah, no amount of money in the world is worth trading everything I feel i can be as a human being, for the better.
@@gabrielgarcia-zw8fu some souls are cheaper than others…if you know what I mean
I love how Ernie casually remembers that Scottie had 11 rebounds on Saturday night, and how he slides in those facts to support Charles' rant. He is the anchor of the show.
He’s the perfect host, he’s just as important to the show as Shaq and Charles
Walking W

Blocks rebounds turns from harden etc. He knows his role. Even when he's not at his best.

"Get some icy hot I'll send it to you"
Shaq with the shameless plug lol

man up
I have lost all respect for Ben Simmons as a professional basketball player. The dude few days ago said he had no pain and will be ready for game 4. They lost game 3, sensing a sweep, he automatically had a pain is his back. Shaq is right, this was a punk move.
Lol you’re late to the party pal
Nba needs to stop wasting player's and fan's time and ban this pathetic waste of a talent , poor example of a NBA player! Also for the future generations onward that's truly putting in the work .... having hopes and inspiration to making to where he's at will now make even harder for the next comings 😒 .....! Just like Steven A mentioned the Leage is going to implement the 'Ben Simmons Rule'...! They should! Leage needs to make an example out of Ben and end this guarantee money nonsense! They need to EARN IT Honestly ..... Putting in HARD WORK like the Late Great Kobe Bryant!!!! Hard work ethics not only improve and make a player great ; but will improve the values and make it exciting , competitive , and fun to watch!!!
I only have one person to be happy for, Scottie Barnes, congrats bud on Rookie of the year, your actions speak everything, glad we drafted you buddy, glad that we have you!
Y’all definitely got a great one picking up Scottie in the draft and his numbers and overall impact is only gonna go up from here. Rookie of the year winners usually go on to have a pretty great career. For the most part anyways, of course there have been some exceptions like tyreke Evans

What happened?
I broke my back
Spinal?
I don't have one
😂😂😂
shaq's right. brook lopez won a championship, injured his back, had surgery, rehabbed, and came back to play in the same time that ben has been out. if ben's back has been hurting this long, he should've already had surgery. also to chuck's point, joel embiid is playing with a torn tendon in his hand. a torn tendon. that right there tells us all we need to know about why they didn't get along. one's a competitor, one is not
Ben is a beetch!
Robert Williams: torn meniscus but when healthy enough to return, came back in limited minutes in game 3. Fact of the matter is Ben doesn't want it like that. If he really wanted to play or make a difference, he wouldn't pinpoint game 4 as a possible return
@@marsrox2 I honestly don't believe he has an actual physical injury, my money's on the fact that he's still mentally not ready. If things were going well, then I think he was interested in playing game 4 but since its a literal do-or-die game he simply can't play under all that pressure.
@@marsrox2 true championship mentality
Dwight Howard played injured back and was never the same
Once upon a time in the 1970 NBA FINALS there was a center named WILLIS REED who got hurt in game 5. He didn't play in game 6. The Knicks won forcing a GAME 7 at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. In spite of his injury Willis limped unto the floor for warmups jumped center with WILT & even hit a couple shots before going to the bench the rest of the game. The Knicks went on to win the chip. His mere presence on the floor as THE CAPTAIN inspired his teammates to perform at even higher level than usual. If Willis could do it along with ISIAH in 1988 (don't get me started) why can't you BEN?
Mr. Reed and Mr. Thomas are built different. They don't make them like that anymore.
Because he has no competitive spirit or fire like Reggie Miller said
@Slim Reaper I always mistook Ben Simmons as the analyst for the celtics lol
“You know I know” Shaq knows those back injuries all to well in those days with the Lakers
Charles Barkley was in Championship Chuck form today 🏆
lately chuck preachin facts
@@jsn14 always has been
Nah he will never won anything, chuck got swept, blew a 3-1 lead to the rockets, tries to ride hakeem's bus but got sent home by stockton and the jazz in 97. Dont act like the only reason he dont win a ring because of MJ lol. Mj is correct chuck dont have the desire to win
@@ND-OPS no, the reason is mj is the best player of all time. lots of hall of famers lost to him. there's only one champ. doesn't make chuck's opinion less valid
@@ND-OPS You never watched Barkley play, have you?
Ben Simmons doesn’t have 10% the heart Scottie Barnes has lol
fax
Sad AF when a Rookie has more heart
He doesn’t have 10% in class either cause his GPA was 2.0 lol
10% is too much bruh
10% is way too much. I would say 1% and even that is being generous lol
Shaq “ we know what you’re doing buddy “🧐🤣🤣🤣😂😂
What does he mean ?
Nobody has pointed out how disrespectful it is to the NBA as a whole and the real deal ballers around the world. All the dudes who are in the gym right now trying to get the opportunity he seems to not want. All the G league players who deserve a spot. Any kid whoever looked up to him, wanted to be like him or ever had a ticket to see him play. All the players coaches and analysts who tried to vouch for and defend him. At this point the hardwood should reject his feet 🤬
What i found the most amazing about pro basket player is the fact that if theyre open they can hit the mid range or the 3pts most of the time but regular people are gonna be 1 for 10 at mid range
I think ben simmons have a complexion about his shooting game because he cant hit shot with consistancy like everybody else in the league
Thats why i think lebron is not the goat , people who have goat status or superstar status have insane shot abilities but lebron james is a average shooter
@@SweetbabyincmtL Where tf did that come from hahaha lol.
@@SweetbabyincmtL what about MJ, dude was much worse from three. Sure he was terrific from mid range but someone not being able to shoot means they’re not the GOAT? That makes no sense. LeBron has improved tremendously from three and has improved skill wise.
Scottie Barnes praise. Love the old crew. They call it like they see it 😩🤣🤣🤣
Preach
Clocks in and sits in break room all day 🤣
They calling like it is.
@@BPIII71 exactly
They're giving him his due for basically showing up and helping the Raptors save their season. Ben Simmons will never get that recognition.
Ben Simmons quit on LSU, Philly and now the Nets. They should have already known who he is.
Stephen a told you
Thanks for stealing Stephen A's exact words
Stephen a burner account
U have to try before u quit😂😂😂
He quit on kendall Jenner too.😁
Shaq Low key mentioning icy hot
Always a businessman
I watched Barkley play when he was at Auburn. One year he had bad back spasms, and the team doctor gave him cortisone shots so he could play. He made the fans happy and helped his team.
Stephen A’s take about Ben Simmons ruining the collective bargaining agreement is correct and valid
💯
@@andrewfitzgerald3401
That’s different. He has a contract and the TEAM won’t play HIM. HE WANTS TO PLAY. Simmons has basically sat out ALL YEAR and still wants his MONEY 💰
NAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW BRUH!

THESE OWNERS, gonna be coming heavy at the Players, you cannot tell your boss I'm not coming to work, because I don't feel like it. THESE OWNERS GONNA FIX THIS
Stephen A always goes with the corporation over the.employee.
Ben Simmons puts more effort into his fits than his rehab LOL
And his fits be 🗑
Does seem to put a lot of thought into what he wears on the sidelines
You see Middleton and Lowry on the sidelines they aren't trying to stick out. Simmons picking out anything he can to be the center of attention on the bench. Dudes a sociopath.

"Ballers know what that is"
That's why I love Inside, these guys KNOW. Good point that it's not just the fans questioning his heart, his teammates and his peers in the league are doing it too
Exactly no made up narratives just tell it like it is, Ben is stealing money
Bro I played a high school game sick as a dog...barely functioning...I couldn't imagine sitting out an nba playoff game
Hes played as much ball as the third ball brother but got paid millions say you Lavar.
I don't even think he wants to play anymore such a waste
@@vincenthammons6705 Nope but he still wants to get paid though. This generation is something else.
As everyone said, "he is day-to-day with hurt feelings."

Hi, I uploaded a vid presenting my All-NBA choices, I’d appreciate it if you would tell me whether you agree or not: czcams.com/video/oAviEwyjD4w/video.html

And sprained ego
Best quote of the year!!!!
"If you sit on yo' a$$ 4 three months, yo' back gonna hurt."
-- Charles Barkley
Savage
Quite rare for Reggie to be so open about this
Chuck’s exactly right. Bro, Ben didn’t have to come back and play 35 minutes and be a defensive stopper immediately. The difference in you playing and not playing, is not 3 days. The LEAST you can do is go out there and try FOR YOUR TEAMMATES. If you go out there and your back tightens up, or you’re not ready, that’s fine but at least you tried. Ben Simmons is a selfish player, there’s just no denying that.
can you call him a player
I'm surprised they even acknowledge the back pain story. Clearly Simmons is just afraid to hoop because of how he fell apart last year...
@@michaelmaniloff9297 I mean a herniated disc is not a diagnosis you just make up, and it's permanent so it'll never really get better. It's not the same as a sprained ankle like Scottie or injecting cortisol for pain like Chuck - the truth is Ben's career is probably already over.
Even the guy most NBA fans disrespect by calling him mr Glass came back last year while he was injured in the first round(AD)
He's a selfish person
What makes it worse, is Simmons is trying to make sure he gets his paycheck. Now if the NBA decides to make a rule where players get paid by how much they play like SAS said, it’s gonna mainly be because Ben Simmons. And everyone is gonna hate him after that
Yea I get that but what about the John wall situation? The players could use that in defense to what SAS was saying
@@KingLionFromDa313 John Wall and the organization reached a mutual agreement, that's an easy caveat. Also, another caveat could be that the clause only applies to refusals by players, not the organization. Clauses like this always have qualifiers. But some form of safeguard is coming, it feels inevitable given what has happened with Ben Simmons and to a lesser degree guys like Zion.
It would mainly be because of Ben, but when you look at players like Kawai and Kyrie they definitely had a hugeeee part to play in it.
Kyrie more so than Ben
Whattt. Ben is getting his full max contract salary for sitting on the bench??
Having had back spasms a couple times in my life, I know how bad a minor back injury can impact you. HOWEVER, the panel is correct - you have to try. Sometimes I wonder if NBA players could do a regular job - the 2nd time I got back spasms and couldn't even walk to my car and drive to work, my work told me I wouldn't be paid if I didn't show up, as they didn't have to let me use sick leave in this state until I had worked there 90 days (I had worked there 88 days). So I put a hot pack on my back, took some ibuprofen, waited an hour to get the back functional and still made it in to work. I guess when you get paid million$ to not show up, there isn't so much motivation..... BUT the TEAM aspect that was brought up was even bigger. And I get it for sports and life. Once was in London for work and had to move an office a specific weekend. But I got severe food poisoning. It didn't matter - I took meds, drank a lot of water, got the job done and then collapsed in the hotel room for 2 days. You do what needs to be done.
What you said is factual.
I work in construction, I have back & hip issues from the nerves to the tendons & to top it off I'm paid by peacework. I have to complete jobs to get paid otherwise I don't get paid at all.
Imagine if NBA players got paid their contracts the same way.
Set rate for your value skill wise and then if you show up and play your 25 mins minimum you collect your pay if not your pay goes directly towards your rehab cost.
I LOVE how dry-honest they are because that’s what EVERYBODY and their momma thinks the minute they heard this news and they ACTUALLY said it. They didn’t out their homie for speakin facts they had his back lol they are so funny too
Last week ESPN was so hyped saying Ben Simmons will play game 4 ACCORDING to Woj😂 look how that turned out
Woj bombs turning into Woj Flops
@@patrick553 Simmons confirmed it was reasonable to expect him to play in Game 4 too. Not Woj's fault that Simmons chickened out
He should've just played game 3 what a wuss.
Don't take ESPN seriously it click bait for sports fans.
What sense does it make to have your season debut with a new team in a playoff elimination game. Lot of this is on coach nash Rookie mistakes
Woj reported that he’d play if there were no set-backs though. You can’t blame the man for what he was told.
Ernie knew those Scottie Barnes stats off the top of his head.
It’s his job.
The stats are written right on the paper in front of him and there’s a built in screen where the producers send him info
@@criticalthought4910 He said it immediately while looking straight at Chuck
0:38 Shameles promo by Shaq XD
Shaq and IcyHot has to be the greatest spokesperson relationship in history
No one ever mentions the fact that harden sacrificed his hamstring to play in that game 7 vs the bucks last year
YUPPP.. AS A DECOYYYYYY
Yep. Even though I thought Harden shouldn't have been out there I respected him for trying. A lot of players go out there when there season is on the line. Ben Simmons hasn't played all year and looks like a straight up coward
Harden 🏀and T.O🏈
Real Ballers know dont worry!
A lot of people do that, because they did for championship 🤣🤣 it looks like he want the money only.
Scottie Barnes pushed through a legit ankle sprain in a week and came back to help his team down 3-0 and they won. Ben Simmons is a scrub.
the Rookie more real
My biggest question is when did he “injure” his back when he hasn’t been playing 🤔
Facts 🏆
the guy is 6'10, its pretty easy to develop back issues and he had a slipped/herniated disc, its a rough injury that can come up even if youre just sitting around
Fortnight can be very physical.
That's what the panel was asking as well. And as Kenny said, you could get hurt just being in the workout room. But despite HIPAA, we usually know HOW you got injured as well as that you can't play because of it. I have to wonder if the NBA follows their own rules on disclosure, and they are required to given reasonable info because it affects the betting lines. Him saying I'm going to play!, then not playing at all, could be grounds for an investigation just due to that swaying of Vegas odds.
@@sadboyinhell619 it is also a convenient excuse as well when someone is not that hurt but doesn't want to play. Simmons has had it for years, but when was the last time before this season he took more than a few weeks off because of it?
Not Shaq quoting his old icy hot commercials😂😂
Kenny Smith is right, Ben Simmons hasn't done a selfless act..
People forget what they do is a job where you will get cut if you underperform. I would place my health above everyone else too
Also kinda a shot a Kyrie not getting the shot.

Chuck gave 30 years worth of history in 30 seconds, with 3 different scenarios and examples.

Harden wanted out
Or nets couldve traded Harden for something else.

Ben Simmons is making some of the most head scratching decisions I've ever seen from an NBA player. It's like he either has zero self awareness or simply does not care one tiny bit what other people think about him, whether it's fans, coaches, owners or his teammates. Surely he knew exactly what he had done to his reputation leading up to the Brooklyn trade, he had become one of the most despised players since LeBron after The Decision. Most rational thinking people would say 'well, I have to do something to win back those fans' but Simmons has done the complete opposite. Brooklyn fans were very supporting and even defensive of any criticism of him leading up to this announcement but now it seems they have all done a complete 180 and are now bagging him as much as Philly fans have bagged him the last six months. He successfully alienated one fanbase by refusing to play, got traded to a new team in a new city and has now alienated that fanbase in the space of ten weeks. He is either the dumbest player in the history of the league or the most arrogant, there is no inbetween. The guy's career is close to finished after this.
From what I can tell he is both extremely dumb AND extremely arrogant....
Thi so all accurate except there are no Brooklyn fans.
I think it may be finished. If he's quoting mental health as a reason not to play basketball (??) then what can he handle? Everyone has performance pressure. For most people, they don't get million$ to not do something while dealing with it. He's probably just stalling for the $20M he got out of this, and then don't be surprised is he walks away because he is being bullied or some BS like that.
@@jeramym9506 lol
That's rich Paul and clutch making him do it they want him in LA bet watch this off season he'll ask for a trade to LA
I love when Kenny smoothly tosses in some gravitas.
1:55 Props to Chuck for mentioning Scottie Barnes

I’ve only watched clips but this is like the 4th shot Kenny has took at Charles in this episode a lone. He really not over the bus rider comment. 4:12
Yea chuck don't think before he talks, and that's what makes him great, and rhats why I Love him. But the bus rider comment definitely upset Kenny, and I understand it from Kenny's point of view.
Don’t nobody care about Kenny hurt feelings 😂
F Kenny
Where is the bus rider joke ?😹please I’m tryna find it
your my level of pettiness energy and i love it 😂💯💪🏾
Even during the raps finals run, kawhi was Cleesaaaaarly hurt and yet he played, which giving his track record, is really shocking
He won’t be ready next year either 😂
This is the guy who tried to reclaim $20m for not playing due to his "mental health". It may have been real, it may not, who knows. Now he backstabbed his new teammates WITHOUT even playing. That's just sad
He's not playing until the 6ers pay him. He's not hurt
I mean The NBA just needs to stop with the guranteed money. If you need an entire year off for mental help, which is something you should do if you can, but you shouldnt get paid the full amount for not playing.
I'd love to see how I can paid for my mental health. I quit my last job because of constant conflict with board of directors, articles in the newspaper, while dealing with COVID and still having to show up every day as we provided critical services. After 18 months of that, I had to walk away for mental health and recharge for the next job. I don't see any checks rolling in..... I guess I should have claimed a back injury on the way out? Thankfully my wife and I got our finances in order first. Maybe he should do the same and start a new career where his back doesn't matter and he is mentally ready to do it... ;-)
@@ws8080 on the way out! That's how you do it💯. Stand up Comic Roz G talked about that
C'mon man, BEN HASN'T BACKSTABBED THESE NEW TEAMMATES! Woj has reported that Ben is RAMPING up towards being able to backstab a couple of the smaller guys. Reports (and other evidence) indicate he's been practicing daily by stabbing himself in the back.
Scottie Barnes in his current form as a rookie is already better than Simmons will ever be 💯
Lol
Tyrese Maxey improved more in a 4 month off-season than Ben has in 5 years of being the league. The guy is a certified bum
@@TheIggyTech as a raps fan i absolutely love Maxey as a player, doesn't cheat the game, plays hard works hard has a bright future as long as he doesn't pick up any of hardens foul fishing habits and remains a pure hooper
Inside the NBA is so far ahead of other sports shows, the way it can switch from comedy to real analysis, not the sound-bite drivel on other programmes
Love this show! LOVE!! Missing my cable TV though...
At this point, Simmons should quit right now 😤. So useless.
Quit now? He quit before he even joined the nets
facts , he should but wont , we all know all he wants at this point is to continue getting his dollars without playing
nba/owners should provide new terms regarding these, kyrie situation, zion and ben. dudes are trying to make excuses just not to play but still cashing out dang.
He's cheerleading if that counts for something.
@@vegemite136 he's one of the richest cheerleaders i ever seen.
Chuck the type of guy to say "First of all" twice in the same sentence to make two separate points.
Fun fact, that Houston vs Phoenix game 7 where Chuck had to take cortisone shots in the knee, Chuck still had 18 points and 23 rebounds.
These guys are legendary !!!!
Ben did not play because he knew they were probably gonna lose and he's afraid everyone's gonna blame him again. MANUP! #sixerswonthetrade
but being paid 30 mil ill take all the blame, now he is on verge losing it all
i dont know seth curry and andre drummond look pretty good and james harden looks like a shell of his former self.
People are ALREADY blaming him for not playing. On the contrary, no one expects him to be back at 100% and turn things around for the Nets but the simple gesture of "trying" will for sure bring back most of the respect on him.
You're the real goat,Michael.
He knows Kyrie is on the team, right?
Ky had a 39 point game, while KD sold.....and they still blamed Kyrie for something that happened in the regular season like they were never going to run into Boston......
Simmons is a broken man. Nothing else to talk about. He is aloof to the highest degree
patty mills from Australia got more heart
No rough skin
Kardashian curse
Fr man need to see a psychiatrist when he get the chance
He's been 'broken' for a LONG time.
New found respect for Sir Charles Barkley. His take on Scottie Barnes was so on point.
I think Ernie just accurately said the stat line of Scottie Barnes on Saturday off the top of his head. That's impressive.
Shaq once put it nicely - "I'm gonna do my thing, Chuck is going to do his thing, but dont nobody knows what Kenny is talking about."
@UN KNOWN it’s funny because only chuck be making sense it’s just he has to gather all of his thoughts together at one time or he’s just trying too hard to watch his words
Funny how when Philly fans felt like this, everyone trashed us.... We tried to tell yall. Smh lol
As a Australian i can attest that we believed you. He quit on us before the Tokyo olympics and burned that bridge to the ground too. Very few here had a high opinion of him after that. That’s something the media doesn’t mention but definitely adds to his resume.
@@rickygarner5117 so now Australia, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and casual fans wanting good quality basketball all hate him lol
@@yankorramos3840 don’t forget lsu
@@rickygarner5117 wow
Tried to tell y'all, then y'all dogged Harden. Should have kept him and rejected the Simmons trade. Now the nets have a liability with them.
The crew on TNT is the only thing about the modern NBA that I still like.
The most telling part was Shaq's "you know I know" because of the big deal when Ben dm'd Shaq awhile back and Shaq said he wouldn't talk about it.
Thanks God we didn't trade Jaylen brown for Ben Simmons last summer.
Shudder.
Wait, what?
How do you have a back injury sitting out an entire season?
How was he traded with a back injury?
@@anxiety5881 You can be traded while injured, the team your being traded to just has to evaluate you and approve.
@@anxiety5881 This is not 2k where you can cheese and trade injured players. The fact that the Nets agreed to get Ben means he's not seriously injured in the first place. There's no reason for him not to play a single game.
@@anxiety5881 no it was... " mental health "
Hermiated disc probably
On point this is spot on
These guys have Been GREAT alll playoffs long !!!
Shaq definitely knows more than he's saying. That's quite evident!
Kenny: Ben Simmons is a terrific player.
Shaq: What I’d say when I told you never to try to be funny on national tv again????
Kenny told Chuck "we were gonna beat yall anyway". this is why Chuck goes off on "bus riders". a bus rider like Kenny has no business talking to Chuck like that.
Shaq sneaking the Icy Hot promo; he's the best and most prolific product endorser of all time.
The top 5 of not playing basketball:
PG: Ben Simmons
SG: Kyrie
SF: Kawhi
PF: Zion
C: Anthony Davis
how's kawhi and AD on the list? dudes are injured
@@smilingcat3851 you’re missing the word “always”
Kawhi and AD are injury prone and so is kyrie but Kawhi showed at his healthiest he's a bucket and ring.
@@jchapman133 facts✔ he got 2 rings and a finals MVP= future Hall of Famer
Ben & I had the same amount of points this season. Get me a 10 day contract! 🤣
The problem is the money these guys are making. When you make the money they make, you probably wouldn't want to work as much and take advantage of the situation. Unfortunately that's how it is in today's generation of basketball. Back then players were proud to play all 82 games. It's a shame bron wont even pay the last few of this season, even though they wouldn't make the playoffs, still perform for the people who are responsible for giving you this life. Fans pay good money to see these players play and they don't show up. It's sad. Cut the money from these players and I guarantee they'll be playing all 82.
I was with you till your last sentence lol, cut the money and they’ll play exactly zero games! Lol
I meant like they don't get pay unless they play
Chuck, Shaq and Ernie when Kenny said “we would have beat y’all anyways” : 😐
BS is just a bus rider even when he was 100% healthy and in his prime. 🚌
B.U.S - Ben “Unavailable” Simmons
Love the respect shown by Chuck to the ROY Scottie Barnes. Half of the battle is showing up and trying. 🏀
Lol
Charles Barkley is 2-0 as far as I’m concerned the man been on point on two of his last takes but he’s right on the last one fans are one thing but it’s a whole other level when players don’t respect you.
Kevin Durant in 2019 is a good argument against what they’re saying.
But… Ben Simmons has shown absolutely no desire to contribute to the team. Ben isn’t on one leg risking a major injury like KD (at least that’s what we believe). Gary Trent Jr was on fumes in game 2 against Philly. Still showed up, gave it a go, and when he realized he didn’t have it he sat out. But he tried. Ben Simmons isn’t even trying. Instead he’s too focused on his clown outfits on the bench.
Even if the Sixers don’t go far in the playoffs, they’re still winners for getting rid of that bum.
This is one of the best segments of Kenny. He did not miss
Man, AD even tried to play last year Game 6, with that hyper extended injury, even we know he's done on that series.
...and AD is soft soft, so that says a lot.
That is probably the best thing ever heard Kenny “The Jet” Smith say! 💪🏾
"Can we stop talking about this dude who ain't playing?" Oh Chuck.
