Ben Simmons left the NBA chat
Did u even watch it u bozo he didn't leave it ur literally a nobody
I’m the biggest Sixers fan. If only Ben could have found himself with us. This energy he has now shows me he is ready to dominate. The Nets are more than a force to deal with but LETS GO SIXERS 🎉
@@WealthySpiritEnt i feel ya I’m a diehard Lakers fan lol
@@WealthySpiritEnt i love fans who aren’t salty
Yea he’s gonna have a short career not because he can’t physically play but mentally he not strong enough
“No one is guarding Kevin or Kai”? Tell that to the Celtics. 😂
Ime is too busy having affairs.
@@davinator1525 lmao
Well, given the dumb Celtics issues recently, maybe not 😂
@@davinator1525 are you a nets fan? I guess you gotta take your W where you can.
The C's I don't think can win if Ben is focused. If he gets to the rim and kick out its a problem . If Jalen guards him who's guarding Durant. Tatum is good but Durant will prob win that match up.
Tbh this is the first time I've ever heard Ben Simmons talk 😂
Outside of his press conferences. Yeah me 2😂
His voice sounds so forced. Just like Booker’s.
@@alejandroserrano7755 not really lol
@@alejandroserrano7755, What does that even mean?
@@kingslayer1887 He's trying to put on a black American accent when he actually grew up around white Australians. And yes, I know his dad is a black American, but like this guy said, you can tell he's faking his accent. Just another example of what a dishonest and inauthentic person he is.

😂😂 it's actually funny
@@artist254grafitti7 yes to weirdos
The funniest part is how it pisses people off still 😂
@@interestingcommentbut....7378 you lame af also
Ben: No ones guarding Kevin or Ky
Celtics: *entire team sips tea*
Yea an entire team. Takes an army to beat two men. I guess that's technically considered stopping them.. if you're a beta
@@papadon2006 Y u so mad 💀💀 and u talking bout "that's considered stopping them if you're beta" they got swept my g, the d riding is crazy
@@papadon2006 errrrm the majority of the nets rotation played good that series, they beat them because Ky got locked some games and KD got locked all 4. Every star gets doubled, it’s what can you do in spite of that. The same team played Curry (one man), they got torched.
@@bigounce9125 yeah I found that emotional and illogical response quite ironic from someone who called me ‘a beta’ 😂
@@papadon2006 This has to be one of the saddest comments I've ever seen.
This group chat story was hilarious. Who would really go to the media and snitch about someone leaving a groupchat 😂

You’re living in fantasy

Steph Curry: "aha ahaha?"
@@kilzoldyck5114 exactly curry torched these Niggas man 😂😂😂
They doubled and tripled him sometimes but yea😭
Nice guy, wish him the best, but at this time, I have little faith he’ll fulfill his promise at the Nets. And that’s not just on him, to be fully clear.
Imagine Ben at 6'10 playing the role Bruce Brown played in the playoffs....then add to that Ben is an actual PG and top defender 😳
@@user-ix6ki1ng7j he don’t got the killer competitive mentality when it matters tho. He has all the skills and athleticism to be a top 15 player but he either don’t got the heart for the game or he just a timid scared individual and that won’t win against the most competitive and athletic people in the word
He is a 😸
@@gabrielkearney3789 you’re an 🍑
@@Imran0said he's a all defensive specialist. He guards your teams best player.Theres no way he doesn't have the heart or killer competiveness to be a great player. He's already a dog
"How are other teams supposed to guard Kevin"....I mean after that Boston series, I think the blueprint is laid out for guarding KD and Kyrie LMAO
they could use 2 and 3 players cuz the nets had nobody else that the celtics had to worry about but this year teams got like 8 people to worry about on this team so lets see teams double and triple team him every possession like the celtics did and watch what happens to them when we got elite shooters all around the floor
Yeah just have 4 6'8" guys who can move their feet. Simple.
Dude how many teams got the wing athletes and defenders the Celtics had? Also kd was essentially pg so now he can just go back to being a killer coming off actions
Easier said than done. Need lover boy Ime to stop KD.
@@user-js7mo3wy4z exactly it's not the Giannis situation at all
The Nets are a great fit for Ben since he can focus on defense and not worry about trying (and failing) to score haha. It sounds like a joke but dead serious it’s a good fit because of this
He averages 16 a game💀💀💀
@satirical mixed kid Giannis got Heart.
@satirical mixed kid him & Giannis got different games. Totally different!
@@davidanoka-ayembe4258 he's been averaging the same amount since 2017, and it's not like he added a bunch of stuff to his bag either since
Exactly, Simmons just wanted to play his role. Pass the rock, score in transition and play lockdown defense. It’s obvious he won’t be a premier scorer, Nets roster is perfect to play to his strengths
Surprised he ain’t left this interview
😂😂😂
The jokes are funny, and he has earned all the jokes, but dude is an All-NBA talent. How quick we forget, but I think he is going to make the league remember this season.
Yeah he’s talented but he doesn’t show up and he hasn’t progressed or gotten any better really.
I wouldn't put money on it, when things get tuff Ben quits.
An All NBA talent dat is scared to shoot de damn ball. How can u pay someone so much money n he bi passing simple lay ups or dunks.
He needs to be his team’s Draymond. But even Dray can hit a 3 every now n then
no the problem is we now how good he is and how good he can be but he simply refuses to get better and improve
JJ really put on his cape here
he is a legendary NBA Fixer
Get off the white boy nuts
I miss jj’s game man he be a great fit in BK any team with all the 3 point shooting
I am looking forward to seeing him play again like the dude a lot he's a beast without a shot
The problem with the reporters is that they are never held accountable for what they report… some will even lie about things and say that an “unnamed source” told them
Dude made $200M in 4 years and retired
Good on him! Wish i could
@@captcav767 agreed
An incredible career
@@bennbutters2578 beautiful ROY and a couple first team he’s a first ballot hall of famer
Like Andrew Luck
Ben simmons can't even name his teammates... "locked in" hahaha
“I’m missin’ people”
This got me lmao
3:50 the part of the video talking about the group chat 💯
He didn't leave the group chat, the group chat left him
You beat me to it
He got kicked out

"you dont guard Kevin" *Jason Tatum has entered the chat*
Wasn't just Tatum, he had the whole team on him.
@@ItIsYouAreNotYour that’s the key. Stop him as a team in a team game.
@@datsapaddlin6449 lets wait for the new season, last yrs nets beat the celtics and this yr celtics won!
Glad JJ got his back! Good to know
No one guard Kevin
JT and JB: hold my beer.
every time he says "its great" he shakes his head NO lol
Ben sounds exactly like the generic my player voice in 2K
"No one is guarding Kai and KD". Well no one will also bother to guard you either 🤣
Ben is now planning to be a vlogger since his retirement last year
😀😁🤣😂 he has more time since his fiancee, went bye-bye.
i think he will become an "influencer"
@@sunrae7680 get a life
"No one is guarding Kev". This guy is funnier than Dave Chapelle😂😂😂😂😂
see as knicks fan every KD hater love to see him losing, do you really think if the nets play without drama on the team with kyrie, kd and Ben healthy the boston will beat them, nahh bro..last yr the nets won this year the celtics won case closed. new season new game. i think kd really wants this smoke
I would like ben to actually test his defensive skills by actually guarding and pushing kevin and kirie he is a all defensive performer ana i believe wih the right mentality he can take this team to another level in playmaking and defense cause kev and ki iso way to much .
Simmons: Nobody guards Kevin.
Boston Celtics have entered the group chat
he meant no 1 person can guard him and the celtics used 2 or 3 people everytime and sometimes the whole team so ben's statement holds true still
@@MrSuRpRiS33 actually they didn’t. Thanks for not watching the series.
@@MrSuRpRiS33 lol yeah your right. Alot of players on that team 1 0N 1 guarded him. Type on youtube "defense celtics on kd." Its literally a 9 minute clip of about 70% 1 on 1 defense. Al horford one on one guarded him. Jayson tatum one on one guarded him. Kd woulf either lose his dribble, stripped or missed his shot.
@@fairtreatment2618 Thankyou!!!
@@MrSuRpRiS33 I respectfully disagree with you. They didn't double KD they sent him into help defense. And Kevin was 3/18 when Jayson Tatum was guarding him
Jokes aside I am a fan of Bens game, the whole league over reacted to his last year in Phillie. should he have dunked the ball? Yes. Does he need to be more impactful on the offensive end in the 4th quarter of play off games? Yes. Do I have faith he will be? Also yes. Looking forward to seeing your comeback Ben, we got love for you over here.
😂😂
Bruh none of this matters the main issue is he has no jump shot and no desire to develop one. That’s it.
What game
@@interestingcommentbut....7378 That’s not it. They’re was an issue in Phillie as he and Joel are both poor jump shooters. Giannis has no jumper and is arguably the best player in the league(Yes I know he’s developing one). You can get away with having one main player who isn’t a good shooter, not 2.
@@MrRufusRToyota did you watch full Phillie games?
“ how are other teams going to Gaurd Kevin “. Yea cause he’s going to tell you how to beat their playbook right 💀💀💀💀
I think you took that the wrong way.
it'll be nice to have klay as a guest on your pod
How do you guard Kevin? Just wait for him to get on the injury list. Easy peasy 😂
Kevin sure does have a way with making himself seem invincible except when it matters.
He can be a force to be reckoned with
My first time hearing him talk 😂😭🤦🏾♂️
The Nets are viewed by many as an underdog at this point. Could help his approach this season.
Last I looked they have the 2nd best odds to win the championship…. I guess they aren’t they favorites so they are underdogs apparently.
@@matthewmorse3307 on paper sure you’re right. Do you agree that they are the second best team in the east?
I was talking more about the amount of drama that has historically taken place with each of their big 3 and the odds that drama will follow them into this season. If they are viewed as underdogs, it’s their own doing.
lmao what?
They have never been looked as the underdogs since ky and kd joined
@@roketskar8181 Nobody is worried about the Nets this season, they are definitely underdogs you casual
Good questions
I really hope he goes off this season.
ahhaha "i call them kev, kai, and clax because they're all my friends and i know them personally" .... such a name drop
Whatchu talkin bout Kevin 🤣
Penfolds at the back, nice easter egg for the aussie
Did you leave the group chat??
Ben :💀 breh
This season will truly decide what type of player he’ll be the rest of his career
I’ve been saying that every season since that let down season after his “rookie year”
Put JJ ON THE NETS COACHING STAFF ASSISTANT COACH AT THAT HOPE SOMEONE FROM THE NETS FRONT OFFICE ARE KD SEE THIS ARE JJ FIGHT FOR IT. HE WILL HAVE NASH AND THE NETS RIGHT THE NBA PLAYERS RESPECT HIM
He's right our best offense was with jj and Marco with the stretch 4s of saric and ilasova but our defense was trash ...
Ben answers the question at the last 5 seconds of the video. Troll move by the editors.
Ben: Did I leave the group chat??
Patty: Maaan you know that group chat been dead since it started...
“Idk, ask Taytum”
that Nets team is going to be scary. Bro KD kyrie and Ben simmons like that’s a matchup night mare for all teams sheesh
Look at Ben at the start... he aint rdy haha
LOL what kind of group chat is it when the whole group dont even send a message for more than a month
Boy got the animal crossing blush going on
Am I the only one wondering why a groupchat of coworkers be dead for one month when this is when it would be the most useful?
I am supposing that they are talking about their main group chat and not one of them that got ghosted for an other platform.
I assume most talking would be done in person. Everyone for the most part is on the same page so there isn’t much to say. I would actually guess it’s most active off season, dudes can ask who wants to link up to get a workout in or hangout. During the season they are always around each other anyones so a lot of discussion can be had face to face
at least it’s what I guess from being around sports most of my life, that’s how it felt for me lol, but a month is kinda wild and I hope is an exaggeration
you can communicate in person bro, it’s a thing
it was playoffs time they were all day all the time together in buses hotels and practises
@@samuelbernardin8086 eventually somethings need to be talked about that would be redundant to individually ask for. This is what group chats are for outside of keeping things light and animated you get to passively check in without calling and chatting 1 on 1. The major reason for a group chat to be "dead" is someone who is in it being known to mess up the chat but formally having to be in the group.
Alot of players tend to stay off of social media during the playoffs (LeBron)
let's see how ben's situation impacts the next CBA.. future player's gonna hate on this fr
"I'm missing people" bro named 4 teammates doesn't know anyone else lol
2023 championship winners Brooklyn ranked 4th with +750 odds 🤔 Am I the only one who thinks that's pretty high lol 🤷♂️😄
Definitely isnt too high if Ben can come back and play like he was playing in his all star season. Kyrie gonna be locked in this year as well since we all know he wants that big contract
@Risan this isn’t the 50s dude. All bigs do is rebound, block shots, set pic and rolls and defend. Their team is scary.
why is JJ wearing shades lol
NBA should have a provision for this where they can shorten a contract too so they can get another max player
I’m expecting great things from Ben Simmons since I drafted him into my fantasy team. He’s one of my favorite players in the NBA.
We need a news outlet dedicated to tracking down deliberate lies made by NBA analysts.
Let's go Nets!!! Let's Go Simmons, let's Go KD, let's Go Kyrie, let's Go Brooklyn.
Ben would be best as a center. I said it while he was with us in Philly. Small forward if we being stubborn.
Simmons seems like the most normal guy in the NBA
These thumbnails have me weak asf
Ben looks down when he’s talking. Hold up your head high I’m sure he’s gonna do better than people think.
He left the group chat. I was there.
“I’m excited to play with Kev, Kia, jo-
Empty words galore with this dude
He'll be off the floor in the 4th quarter of playoff games. Iykyk
Ben looks ready let's see 👀
I have the sense already, Ben doesn't want to play 'center', basically he wants to play with Claxton, KD, Kyrie and Harris/Curry. Problem is, you can't have 2 non shooters on the floor so the best line up will definitely be Claxton/Simmons on the bench.
Lol dude crazy
Ben def left the chat 💬 ✅🤣
"no one guards kevin" gonna ignore how celtics broke ducant?
kd had 23 in game 1 27 in game 2 and 16 in game 3 and in game 4 39 his teamates were choking another reason kd asked for the trade
No “one” can guard Kevin. The Celtics were sending triple teams!!!
kd had 23,16,27,39 against boston. he had 26 ppg. the media made it sound like he got 2 pts the whole series
@@TheWizardx7 lmao kd burner here
double team don’t count
Casual $1000 Penfolds in the background
He loves the idea of not being asked to shoot
Rookie of the year this year!!
Simmons did not want to agree to playing the five in JJ's postulated lineup.
Question is at 3:51
Dam why can’t anyone root for people to be great again. Glad he seems like he’s in a good space mentally.
No ones guarding Kevin. Celtics have entered the group chat
Confirmed only by Ben and Shams who share the same agent who also basically read out Ben's career highlights when asked about it. Have any teammates said he didn't leave the chat?
Have any team-mates said he has?
@@hardsequencer94 nobody would publicly call him out unless they wanted the drama, but you would think someone would come out and defend him if it wasn't true
Ben can be that Draymond green type of player for the Nets. He just gotta put the work in mentally and shrug the naysayers.
Ben Lets Go!!!!!
2:59 no one's guarding KD or Kyrie... I guess Boston is no one now. 😄
Just for the fact wine is alcohol too 😢 imagine that
Hahha that was thee harden group chat
Why does JJ have sun glasses on ? Aren’t they inside
anyone know what glasses JJ is wearing?
also, Ben looking like he's dropped some weight but maybe it's just the shirt he's wearing??
he sais "kev" like they best friends haha kd so pissed at him
and you would know, right?
I’m rooting for Ben man. Everything else he do is elite besides the elephant in the room. I honestly just want him to develop at least a middy.
If ben comes back at his best it's a scary team
Ben is a 😸
I’ve been saying that. I would be so happy for him if he does come to the floor at his best
Ben at his best still a liability at Crunchtime in a close game, he doesn't want the ball. Poor Free Throw Shooter and won't shoot a shot beyond 17 feet.....
@@winninlike96 Nah he is a bum
Prior to popular belief people actually would love to see ky kev and Ben do something special with the nets. Well at least me y’all people weirdos when you talk about these players😂
Is this his retirement farewell tour?
I'ma sixers fan and if Ben plays good it's gonna be scary with him KD and Kyrie
Soooo, Nets make the playoffs and opposing teams activate the “Hack-a-Ben” play.
Now what?
Bench Simmons?
I know he gone play again but it feels like he don’t care if he plays anymore or not
