  • Ben Simmons recently got shut down by the Brooklyn Nets & this concludes a sad chapter in the tragic story of Ben Simmons' downfall. He was the top recruit out of high school & ended up being the 1st overall pick of the 2016 NBA Draft. He played a couple years for the Philadelphia 76ers where he earned 3 All-Star appearances & was a 2-time All-Defensive player.
    Simmons was lauded as the next big great player in the NBA. Comparisons were made with the likes of LeBron James & Magic Johnson. But unfortunately, in a Game 7 that would feature many missed opportunities, Ben Simmons' career would change forever.

    Ben's problem isn't that he can't shoot jumpers. It is that he doesn't have the go to decision of "If I am open for a long 2pt or a 3pt around the arc I am going to shoot." mentality. So he will look for everything else before that and the oportunity will disappear. It is life long aversion starting at an early age and reenforced by getting away with it for years. No wonder it is a huge stress mountain for him now. He should have been told by a coach early in his career that he is required to take the shots in game no matter the outcome. Then at least he gets the in game practice and confidence before they narrow down shot selection.

      But I don’t see why he can’t play out the rest of his career as a very valuable role player, or sixth man on a team that goes deep into the playoffs. Even if he’s just fucking coming in for defensive sets.

    Now we've kinda disowned him because what he's doing goes against the attitude Aussies pride themselves on. We love to see that head down, hard work attitude. That's why we love Jingles and Patty, they don't make a big deal they just work hard and do their thing

You just don't get this sort of content in other videos. The 2-3 hour length allows him to bring much more info (duh), but considering how most channels just say the same thing with different style, I believe a channel like this is essential.

      Guy's just dim. His basketball IQ has always been below par at the NBA level but he's also not very smart outside the court. He's literally the worst kind of player to have on the team, too lazy to take initiative, too stupid to gague his weaknesses and too arrogant to work with a good coach. Nikola is nonchalant but his game IQ is off the charts and his fundamentals have been drilled to perfection, Ben has Joker's carefree attitude with not even half the talent.

      Not that I know that this would actually fix Ben's problems or these are his actual problems, but to me if he would have just continued to concentrate on doing what be does best, going full effort the whole time the 76ers would've been more successful. Because it worked before. But the passiveness and not having a motor on either side of the ball further exposed his weaknesses. As for after that Atlanta series or even now he should've hired the same shooting coach that got Lonzo Ball's shooting right, practiced 1000 shots today till it become habitual, stay out the club, off social media and just lay low. As we have seen the Sixers playoff woes were a lot more then Simmons fault. Embiid is also a regular season player that comes up small in big games and moments like the playoffs. He's been that way his career Ben Simmons and Doc Rivers ain't got nothing to do with it. Swapping Simmons (a playoffs choker) for Harden (another playoff choker) wasn't gonna save him neither. It's on Emibiid and the Sixers at this point.

It's pretty clear to me he is a pampered selfish dude who was praised way to much before he accomplished anything. The dude is not doing what needs to be done because he doesnt want to be great. He wants to be rich and famous and all the stuff that comes with it more than he wants to be good.
    I would never route for anyone to fail, but I have no interest in what he does for the rest of his career. I dont know how the nets trade him, but it's best for them to find a way.

    Whenever stuff like this happens to a player, there's always a narrative that he was actually always a bum to begin with, but I think that's cutting out all of the interesting parts of the situation. No one would have cared about Ben Simmons' fall if he was a 2nd round pick that averaged 9 minutes a game with awful splits and bad defense. It's interesting specifically because he *does* have the talent.
    Ben Simmons clearly had an elite skillset, you can't "be a bum" yourself to the NBA, even Anthony Bennet was legitimately skilled in college ball. I think dissecting why players bust or fall from grace is a really interesting topic, it's a shame it gets lost a lot of the time.

    AI's words were so prescient. "Just understand that there's gonna be some ups, there's gonna be some downs. But these people will stick with you, as long as you give them everything you have." Sixers fans stuck with Ben, until they realized that Ben was not giving it his all. If you play for Philly, Boston, LA, etc, you can't get caught dogging it. The fans will turn on you and never forgive you. That's why AI is loved in Philly, even though he never got a championship, and why Philly hates Ben Simmons.

    Watching his early game and his potential just kills me. Colin Cowherd is a bit of a clown but honestly his hype and excitement were more than justified, Ben had SO much potential. As much as I love laughing at the circus that seems to follow him from afar (not in any malicious way, I truly hope he's alright and taking care of his mental health) I'd rather watch generational talent cash in on that potential and make history. I love this game so much and Ben just breaks my heart knowing what could have been.

      You can't teach effort. He had everything from a skill standpoint minus 1 Thing. He was hand delivered to the NBA. Most obvious plant ever. He just never put in the work. Add the fact he CAN'T SHOOT. Not won't, CAN'T. That's not a fatal flaw, but it's a major issue. Combined with the laziness, it's unforgivable.
      I must point out that the wheels fell off once all his Daddy's friends weren't there to cover him. That's not a coincidence. He never had to try until that point. Once it came out he was lazy, his stock evaporated. The biggest bust in history regardless of sport.
