Ben Simmons is much worse than what this video portrays. I went to the Nets vs Pistons game on Sunday and he was atrocious. He made no effort on offense or defense. He didn’t even go after rebounds. It was painful to watch. They need to get him out of the league.
Yeah pretty much a guy who didn't love the game merely loved what the game could provide him unfortunately their are a lot of young players in the league with this mind set
Doc and Embiid definitely didn't read the room when talking about Ben after that Game 7 vs the Hawks, but Ben handled that shit like a child. Man up and tell those MFs you didn't appreciate the comments, but let's get it right next season.
Can you imagine how that dude acted in the locker room. I think doc, and Embiid were both mentally done with him. And they couldn’t help but tell the truth.
best revenge for the comments (since he didn't appreciate the truth) would be to go to another team and play like a BEAST! Instead he's ruining his legacy
Bruh stop, Embiid and Doc were both 10000% right to call out Ben, because they were covering for him, his primaddona attitude, and his lack of practice effort from the media that entire year, and then Ben abandoned them on the court when he refused to shoot free throws of all things to lose to an 8th seed when they were championship favorites. I say that and i dont even like Embiid (and Im a Hawks fan!).
As a sixers fan nah , sure his flaws are on display and mentally he's checked out, but he was an All-Star player at one point and got defensive player nods and other accolades, in my opinion that doesn't equate to a bust
@@ryansack5198 I mean Ben Simmons was supposed generational players, and was supposed to be an All-Time great. Ben never lived up to those expectations.
Why is Embiid saying the obvious in “we had the layup” so wrong 😂 Ben tricked y’all into coddling him again. Philly been telling y’all for the longest but we were the problem 🤐😂
Why are you saying this like it’s hard to believe? I mean in hindsight you can this bs but at the time dawg was averaging 15-8-8 with a better record than spida.
Got to be the first 1st pick player ever trying to pursue the bust label. He clearly doesn’t give a f__k about being criticized about his lack of drive to compete. What a waste.
The biggest stunted growth for Ben Simmons is he simply doesn’t want to compete day in and day out against the best players in the world. It’s not a lack of talent he simply doesn’t have that dawg in him. The game comes easy to him and he’s been cruising on talent. But talent will only take a player like him so far
Throw him under the bus isn’t accurate when you mess up that bad you need to be held accountable it’s difference from having a bad game and obviously not playing as good as you can
Blaming doc rivers for this man down fall is nasty work... Ben Simmons is lazy... he never got any better.. he is soft mentally and used the mental health shield to excuse his poor play... he got the bag and became content... he would rather look fly on the bench than be on the court...
@@mazzb305 I agree from an early skill set standpoint. He had the potential but never matured and it was clear he wasn’t going to. Wouldn’t be the first time and it sadly won’t be the last.
@@mazzb305 he was always massively overrated. Hype got him All-Star nods. He was never a realistic DPOY. If he had DPOY potential then he’d be highly coveted. He’ll be lucky to get a contract next year.
I knew something wasn't right when he couldn't even get LSU in the tournament,he wasn't even caring to make march madness but had the nerve to speak about how bad college basketball was in that documentary he was in dude a cornball
@@sfrank8687 he used to shoot until he went to LSU. It was a big deal because he wasn’t going to play much and he wasn’t going to shoot because they knew he was going #1 anyways. It was over from there
NBA is a joke. All these teams are so rich off these over-priced TV and streaming deals, they can afford to carry these ridiculous contracts. And that will come back to bite them if they don’t clean up their act because viewers are turned off.
Ben Simmons is one of the more Overrated players ever...only thing we ever wanted him to do is develop a jump shot....you even had KOBE (RIP) wanting to teach you
Even guys like Rajon Rondo and Ricky Rubio who in their early years doesn't have a jumper but through the years worked on it and developed a serviceable jumper to stay longer in the league IMO its mind over matter with Ben Simmons
He’ll be given a couple of minimums just off of his name alone. He’s the epitome of putting no work in and coasting due to having everything given to you on a platter in life.
I rememeber 76ERS fans arguing for YEARS that Ben didn't need a jumpshot, lol that let me know the level of IQ that majority of sports fans have. I never argued about sports again after that lol
I have NEVER been a FAN of Ben Simmons... He may NOT become a "HALL OF FAMER" but he has made LIFE CHANGING MONEY... So far well over 100 Million and counting so in a sense FINANCIALLY he...WON and still WINNING 🤑💰💸💯
And if he's immature with money, where do you think it'll go? Money isn't the only thing holding people back. I also, at the time, wanted Ben to succeed, but with his mental hiccups, surgery, and unloyal, diva attitude, the writing was on the wall. The beginning of the end. 😕
I use to tell ppl that Ben was just a taller version of Lonzo. Both can do everything you’d want from a point guard besides shoot. But In Simmons’s case he had the hight advantage to basically get away with it. Now the script is flipped and it’s all due to mentality. Lonzo did not settle and improved his shooting to the point where defenses would be foolish to leave him open while Simmons is just another Andre Roberson from 3. Hell not even that at least Roberson would take the 3. 😂😂
I really cant understand why he isnt even attmpting to shoot more shots per game. If my coach tells me he needs 15 attempts im atleast gonna get 20 off. He's got coaches telling him to shoot and he just flat out wont do it.
I feel like it’s important to highlight that Ben also had a nerve injury in his back. On top of all the mental stuff I’m sure that def played a big role if not also compounded the mental issues. Nerve and back injuries are no joke, having them together is honestly wild. Having multiple back surgeries and the fact he’s still even fluid is honestly amazing.
Thank you for mentioning how his team turned their backs on him. He needs to switch to shooting with his right hand! I used to shoot left handed too and my shot was as ugly as his. Then I switched to my right and it was much easier to keep my elbow straight and shoot in one motion. He clearly has yes men around him who aren’t telling him what’s up. And dude needs to stay away from those dam hollyweird wiches.
Yup one of the more notable issues wit Ben is he clearly isn't a natural lefty and it shows when he shoots mechanically his jumpshot is just horrendous
No, because that wouldn’t make any sense. Dude just averaged 35 11 and 6 and you wanna talk about stunted growth? Maybe you are just a deluded hater? Just look at the numbers, sixers arent shit without Joel. Dude is constantly battling injuries and playing through injuries that other players wouldn’t dare play with. Just look at last years playoff ! Dude has a bum knee, broken hands, and freaking Bells Palsy! That won me over with him. He is a dog. He just is a freak of nature and gets hurt because of it.
Peeplo really don't appreciate his dedication to his community. Thanks to him, a lot of single homes will be built brick by brick. Dont hate on his philanthropy.
The problem with Ben Simmons isn't the fact that he doesn't attempt 3 pt shots, is that he doesn't try to shoot the ball at all. He is literally afraid to shoot the basketball and he clearly doesn't care about the game to basketball enough to improve his craft, because he already got the money
Anyone would be lucky to be a Draymond Green. Hall of Fame is a pretty high bar by most ppls standards. It'd be more accurate to say he'd be lucky if he could be the next Shaun Livingston or Kyle Korver.
I am a oj mayo / Ben Simmons believer and i admit they didn’t develop into what i expected. And lastly; Out of 08’ top 4 draft class. The top 4 picks were D Rose, M.Beasley, O.J Mayo , R. Westbrook… Russ surprised me he remains and solid star
These high contracts have ruined the NBA. No player should be set for life after their first full contract. If the NBA shrunk that first contract, the quality of the NBA would improve drastically.
I have a great one for you: RANDOLPH CHILDRESS - Wake Forest. When you look at his ball handling and shooting? I don't see why he never became the first Steph Curry. He DOMINATED the ACC.
Have always said this about him since LSU days: Didn't want to work hard, and didn't want to compete. Up until college, was nearly always the biggest and most athletic player on the court and never was seriously challenged. But couldn't handle not playing one-on-one, since dudes actually will guard if you have a Name and reputation. And he has simply psyched himself out of the rest. Biggest poseur the League has ever seen.
Simmons looks pretty good - he’s being matched up by taking on the opposing teams best offensive threat while putting up numbers comparable to Draymonde Green. He’s doing good!
The reason why he wasn't exposed before is because his fellow Australian coach Brett Brown was hiding his weakness and set plays for him which won't expose his weakness while coaching the 76ers at the beginning of his career. Even though Brett Brown is no longer coaching the 76ers, I think he's still getting pay by Simmons now. Remember, Ben Simmons father plays in the NBL and has arrangements with Brett Brown who use to has coaching jobs in the NBL league.
It’s mental for him. If I could be Ben Simmons for one game I’d drop 30 easy. Dude is avoiding layups nowadays too. He’s cooked. Idc how many shots I miss, if you constantly leave me open ima take those shots every time and literally treat the game as practice shots until I get my touch right. That’s how wide open he be; like its shoot arounds out there
We can say all we want about Ben Simmons and how he fell off, but I think it’s simple. He doesn’t want to play basketball anymore. Once his contract is up, he’s probably going to retire.
I haven't watch any BK games but if they are still letting Simmons run the point it's self sabotage. He should be used as a PF/SF/C, secondary ball handler and rim attacker in the break. In the half court put him in the dunker spot
What irritates me about Ben Simmons is that he doesn't care. I hate the fact that I defended him after the whole Doc Rivers situation because at the time I thought Rivers should've been fired for his comments basically throwing him under the bus. But right now, I have to say it, but dumb ass Rivers was absolutely right in his sentiments. No one wants to pay him, he doesn't want to play, he doesn't want to shoot, he's way too complacent and he's just mentally checked out and it's actually freaking sad to a degree. I want to see him succeed, because in all actuality, seeing him or any player fail isn't good for the game.
All this turmoil is on Ben, he had so many seasons prior to his meltdown against the hawks to get better and actually put all that work into in game results but no he just thought the team was gonna coddle him after his mistake again the city and the team had enough and he couldn’t handle that
It’s even in the new nba 2k game. I played the nets and just gave him 10 feet space until he was inside the three point line. He did nothing the whole game. Maybe four or six points.
I just don’t understand why teams/himself don’t make him play as a back to the basket, low post PF/C and elite stretch 4 defender.??!! It’s just baffling how his game is still as a PG when is so obviously not that. Philly only needed him as a ball carrier because they were the worst team ever and had no one else to play guard while rebuilding but he is a really power forward and should be pulling down 15 rebounds a night
sad part is I actually liked his game in Philly and think he could have been awesome with KD. He's had every chance to come back but his head and his heart just aren't were they should be.
Would you take him or free agent Markelle Fultz right now?
Give me Markelle Fultz
Fultz, no question. Makes no sense why he's still available.
Fultz hands down
Fultz.
Rather take the 1st pick that’s working to improve to help contribute than the other 1st pick that has every excuse on the ready to stay away.
We got 2 maybe 3 Stunted Growths on Ben Simmons before GTA 6 🤣

More shocking than Ben Simmons...is the fact that you actually paid money to go to a Nets-Pistons game?
@@dlxinfinite7098lmao 😂
stop it. he's still one of the best passers in the league, excellent in transition, and generally high iq and awareness.
@@gopats7187 when someone passes to him for an open layup he uses his mighty passing skills instead of taking a shot

Man don't want to play ball. Was just good at it and did what he needed to get that life-changing money and he out...
Exactly. He did enough for the contract

🤣🤣🤣haha. I’m beginning to see after that first contract players check out.🤣
Yeah pretty much a guy who didn't love the game merely loved what the game could provide him unfortunately their are a lot of young players in the league with this mind set
Ben Simmons is the complete opposite of Lonzo Ball.
That could not be less true. They have a lot of similarities in their game.
@@gopats7187He's talking from a trajectory standpoint. Lonzo wasn't a good fit in LA.

Yes
Very strange ROY and multi-year all star is now a bust. Dude has a max contract green light and doesn’t want it, very strange.
As a sixers fan nah , sure his flaws are on display and mentally he's checked out, but he was an All-Star player at one point and got defensive player nods and other accolades, in my opinion that doesn't equate to a bust

Unfortunately, someone will pay him above the mid level exception next season
Mark my words "Ben Simmons will be the next johny sins"
sad part is I actually liked his game in Philly and think he could have been awesome with KD. He's had every chance to come back but his head and his heart just aren't were they should be.
To be fair, he doesn't need to shoot 3 pointers. He's like 6'10 anyway. But yeah, he should play much better than he's played the past few seasons.
As long as ben is 6'10 and can still be one of a teams best passers and defenders he will always have a job. He won't be a star but a star role player
He needs to play like he does during the summer
Man barely touching triple doubles on a mins restriction and you say he trash? You just don’t see his real value when healthy
Considering he hasn't even played a full season's worth of games in the last 3+ seasons combined, I don't see why that would matter
I really can't stand this guy, every year it gets worse and worse. Cut him out of the league for God's sake
How do you call yourself a basketball player let alone a pro nba player and not have a jumpshot? (Center position exempted)
