- Ben Simmons is fooling the NBA again. #NBA
In 2016, Ben Simmons was the first pick in the NBA draft. In 2018, he won Rookie of the Year and was electric in the playoffs. In 2019, he became an All-Star but choked in the playoffs. In 2020, he was selected to his first All-NBA Team but got worse and still wouldn’t shoot jump shots, but it’s ok right because In 2021, he still wouldn’t shoot, passing up open dunks. And in 2022, he chose to sit courtside instead of playing on the court and in the games he played, he averaged 7 points a game, and wasn’t even a starter.
It’s 2023 and we’re still talking about Ben Simmons. Apparently he’s back and well everyone wants to talk about it
Ben Simmons is fooling the NBA again, I’m going to prove the 3 reasons how** and why we need to stop talking about Ben Simmons starting with the endless hype and cycle.
Media has propped up Ben to new heights even when his play wasn’t. Looking at Google trends, Ben has remained extremely relevant even when he doesn’t play.
The same as 2018, Ben Simmons was coming off winning ROTY the season before, so seeing his workout video had us hyped… until he was exposed during the playoffs by Jared Dudley and the Brooklyn Nets with missing posters outside the arena.
In 2019, there was another video of Ben going off in a pickup game, even hitting long step back three-pointers … but his play during the season showed us the same player again unwilling to shoot, even against the worst teams in the NBA like the Suns. Low stakes, no pressure… but he still had a six-point game… and then two more single-digit games, all in the first month of the season. These were just the first signs of Ben Simmons having extreme doubts about himself now that more people were starting to tune in and watch him play.
In 2020… we watched more Ben Simmons offseason highlights… but then he was afraid to shoot a layup over six-foot Trae Young during the playoffs
In 2021, Ben knew we get fooled by these videos… so was at it again fresh off the worst series of his career, looking like he was determined for the best season of his life… then he decided to sit out, quit on the team, and injured his back out of nowhere when Philly sent him to Brooklyn…
In 2022, Ben wanted to show us that he was now fully healthy now in his yearly offseason shooting video… but proceeded to average seven points, not willing to shoot wideopen layups and got shut down during the season with another strange injury…
The Nets fell for nostalgia and other teams are too. Ben Simmons was once a nightly triple-double threat who averaged 16, 8, and 8 but his scoring has steadily went down every year after his second season. But it’s not just scoring. He became a liability on the court. He was part of one of the worst lineups in the NBA last season, we weren’t even out of the month of OCTOBER yet and Simmons already had the sixth WORST plus-minus in all of the NBA, his defensive rating was the 18th worst… and was so zoned out mentally that he fouled out TWO times in Brooklyn’s first three games of the season.
In fact, if we just take a look at all players in the NBA, Ben Simmons is a below average player.
And this might have been ok if Ben was at the end of the bench making 5 mil a year but no the man makes 35 million for crying out loud, a max contract. I mean man hit the MJ shrug to the Philly crowd after hitting 2 free throws in 1st quarter. That might tell you where we at.
Simmons began dealing with a knee injury and was hit with consecutive DNPs... amid chaos already happening in Brooklyn with the team already souring on Ben Simmons’ horrible play to start the season.
Because after Ben signed a max contract and had an entire playoff series where he wouldn’t shoot in the 4th quarter, he stopped reporting to the 76ers and after a whole bunch of fines, pissing off Embiid and his teammates, got traded.
And so after 16 months of not playing and eventually succeeding in forcing a trade, Simmons would now be somewhere in Brooklyn where he would now supposedly be happy… it was something both he and the Nets were looking forward to.
Remember… Ben Simmons strongly believed that it was the way his teammates and coaches treated him and handled the situation after the Hawks series that made him want out…
So, there was no excuse for Simmons to shy away in Brooklyn… he had everything set up perfectly for him.
Ben’s trade value is now zero, but that should have happened a while back. The 76ers and even the Nets sacrificed a lot for Ben, took their entire franchises off track, but the solution is simple yet almost never done.
What the NBA needs to do is learn to separate hype with current play.
So let’s stop talking about Ben Simmons. ****It’s time to move on, I don’t want to make another video on him unless he’s playing out of his mind.

First I don’t know man
He didn't have a phone in his pocket
Have you done a vid on the latest Harden fiasco? That's my soap opera choice. My hoop head choice would be on the Jokic/Murray combo vs the other best duo's in the league.
Malik Andrews' takes!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, lets make a deal before your channel goes downhill with Ben Simmons. if season started and he was doing the same thing DON'T make any more videos on him. Let him fade into oblivion, his not worth your or our time anymore.
Ben Simmons is living the American dream. Doing the least amount of work while making the most amount of money. We should all aspire to be like Ben Simmons.
The nbas full of those kind players
@@L_87 Agreed. Kawhi Leonard may be the poster child for it all. The man somehow found a way to be a part time NBA player while earning full time pay; absolute Genius.
Ion think u understand how hard nba players work/train Ben Simmons just lost all his confidence that’s why the not playing as good anymore
@@mouhamadaliwiththetraytray7136 If he was working half as hard as you say I think the man would have a jumpshot by now, but I digress.
@@mouhamadaliwiththetraytray7136he never improved his jumper
6 years in the league, and people are still expecting something out of him?
Bad back..if i see drive and 2 handed jam..hes back..none last year

Went from I’m back to “my back”💀
@@A_ValeskaHe was complaining bout his back since Philadelphia but I'm not surprised that they didn't do shit because Joel Embiid is always injured every post season...
Nahh we already know he's going to be trash. Been horrible for years now. I would be very surprised if he averages anything above 10/5/5.
@@BlazePizzeria ya horrible allstar
"In 2016 he was drafted #1, in 2018 he was Rookie of the Year", without context this still sounds insane.
His career been weird from the beginning
I think dude just likes the money while working less
He isn’t he first.
In 1987 David Robinson was drafted #1 overall, he won Rookie of the Year for the 1989-1990 season, all without context of his Naval obligation.
🤣 him and Blake Griffen
If Fultz could get his career back on track after having one of the most awkward injuries ever Ben has no excuse
@@knowbody9169 I know that's one thing I consider too. Fultz put the work in behind the scenes and didn't have to post clips every summer saying he was doing sum

Even Team Australia doesn't even want him.
what that "Even" supposed to mean in this sentence? aren't they a bball team? don't they need good n' active bball players, (like every team)? i think they're actually one of the favorites for a medal in this tournament, and even if you don't actually really care, a medal in a world cup tournament, is an honor for every athlete and every nation. so, don't you think this comment of yours is "kind of" disrespectful? you may have a pool of talent as big as all europe and australia together to chose from, so maybe i don't give a shit about your gold, but i care a lot about the silver, the bronze and the game of bball played in general, all over the world. and i have no problem with the usa team when they play nice, but i don't like divas, don't like your media and the low level, disrespectful fans they create... ah, and don't forget, ben simons bball wise, is an american product and phenomenon. as you should have guessed, this kid is not a playmaker, what else did u teached him in your schools? (he's raised american, teached american, played and payed american: now, instructed and acting american). nowhere else in this planet, you'll see something even close to that.!!?
@@georgemarco11so do you consider ben simmons good?
@@Mohammed-nd4zi well if you didn't get it i don't give a shit about simmons, i just don't like the way some americans carry them selves, making fun and disrespecting other countries teams and bball schools. but, if you really care that much, the answer is all over my comment. it's not literature... read the first sentence, you'll get it.
@@georgemarco11 Listen Man thats just how sports are the worst teams/clubs will get clowned on by the better ones. Its just simply how life works. Prime example is how everyone around the world disrespects MLS it's just how it is, Get better and earn other teams respect. IMO
@@georgemarco11 your comment says two things abt ben simmons at most? The rest is abt how people disrespect teams from other places other than america, so sorry for asking a simple question cuz the way i see it hes disrespecting ben more than team australia
I don’t think anyone is talking about Ben Simmons these days unless they’re clowning on him lol. Nobody with a brain is falling for these summer workout videos
There’s a saying: Seeing is believing, I better see that jumpshot in front of the whole crowd than in practice.
He had the best deal he could ask for in Philadelphia. They built the team around him and nobody is going to do that
Hes selfish, ungrateful and delusional
He got big money while doing the less amount of work, dudes an inspiration despite the immorality
@@resevoirdog maybe philly was a bit delusional too. too much of a risk if you ask me. like, they should know better..?
@@georgemarco11 for sticking with him or for letting him go?
That Kyrie shoot it Ben clip 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
And there are at least 2 occasions where he's done it. The Bucks game is the only one i can think of off the top of my head, but there was another game where he did that.
😂
@@smoothsavage2870 and he's kind of guarded, and giannis is close enough, not that open ?!
@@georgemarco11 coping hard...
He really peaked on his rookie season
3:57 imagine getting kyrie frustrated 😂😂
MJ2KALLDAY is fooling y'all again.
But seriously, Ben is such a gift to the NBA youtube community, he keeping on giving content.
Ben deserve some kind of recognition for all the BS he's pulled.
Ben’s ready for an MVP season. MJ2kallday doesn’t know what he’s talking about 💪🏽
He is poison for the league. Why as a fan would you support players not playing and not being a real team player. He's selfish and does not care about the game. Facts
"Giving content" hahah so if players shoot and murder someone for example that'll make highlights and content. According to you we should encourage that right?
@@resevoirdog the comment was very clearly being satirical. pls shut up
humor level... all time high, over here!!
People want him to do better, but he won't do better. People will keep believing with just pure faith and hope
Ben Simmons is single handedly making me money during peak offseason. I have to appreciate how dude has managed to stay relevant despite not playing in any meaningful games in over 2 years
😂😂😂 hello there my favorite nba tuber
This is the best Ben Simmons video on youtube right now; every other video is "this is Ben's last shot," "we hope that he'll regain form," "the rise and fall," "Ben this Ben that, " etc. No creator has had the appropriate comment; "Stop talking about him! A benchwarmer with an albatross contract shouldn't get more attention than the best and most promising talent in the league."
You can't make a video about how NBA media should stop talking about Ben Simmons, while the entire video is about talking about Ben Simmons.....
🫡
Dude the literal reason for the video was right at 0:44………..some viewer you are lmfao
He said the NBA media should stop hyping him up. Which he’s not doing In this video.
He jus did...
He can and did tho
I cant believe it has been 300 years since Ben joined the NBA.
GET HIM OUTTTTTTTTT
Ben is a genius. He's getting paid millions to occasionally jog on the court. Astounding.
2:01 Well, you called it. We're at the "random back injury" stage now. 😂
Ben Simmons is really just a waste talent. He was a gift to the 76ers since he was the 1st pick in 2016 with high expectations since he plays like my idol, LeBron. He was really a was of a first pick since he cant shoot and his confidence dropped when he passes an open layup/dunk against his defender, Trae Young a 6'1 guard. He refused to play in training camp because his confidence was at an all time low. Ben Simmons is just a pure waste of talent.
You are my favorite NBA channel, I just wish you are more consistent with the video releases
Appreciate it! These videos take a while to make sure to get all the research right and get the quality up to standard, i wish I could make more videos but never wanna compromise 😬 always make enjoyable, meaningful videos for y’all
What is truly sick is just how much teams have to pay him for damn near no production.
You are such a good content creator. Thank you for everything you do
I wish he'd show his face less. His 1992 Johnny Depp Jump Street look, plus his face just weird me out.
Imagine having simmons and harden on the same team 😂
Harden has way better value than that simmons.
u mean wb dillon and ben
The same ones that showed sympathy to simmons were the same ones that was clowning him during his time in Philly 💯🤷🏿♂️
Philly fans didnt clown him until he became a clown. Kids refused to work on his game.
@@jerseyjohn123 I wasn’t talking about Philly fans I’m talking about the outsiders that clowned him during his time in Philly now everyone showing sympathy
u don't know what u talking about because I aint showing him no sympathy. speak for the ones that do, not all of us 🤡 . F Ben Simmons. I used to like him but he's scary n overrated asf now.
@@nolimitdeuce They're showing sympathy ??
How ? I'm pretty sure they are still clowning him.
like who.
What really messed up Ben Simmons was Doc Rivers making him a point guard.
The music in the background... My god 👌🏾🙏🏾🎯💯💪🏾
That was a great solo at 1:03! Do you know where i can get the music?
I knew Ben Simmons was never going to develop a jumpshot when he went on that mean tweets episode of jimmy kimmel where he simply said "I don't need a jump shot I made the all star team 3 times".
He didnt understand that if you dont have a jumper, your defender falls back and the rest of your team is playing a 4 on 5 while you're outside wondering where to pass.
I'll point this out, a comparison when we think about fast cars, torque vs weight for quick, hp vs weight for speed.
Nba: dollar for value.
Remember RJ Barrett, dude is awesome!
Zion Williamson: Crunched cap space and became a liability.
new setup go crazy
My guy good upload
First! Great video
Look at Ben man, so inspirational.
These issues people have been talking about his whole career. It's gonna take some looking in the mirror to fix these issues.
Let's all admit Ben can guard 1-5, playmake, and dunk.. on his high level myteam cards in 2k.
Maybe 2-4
I got faith in Ben. If Markel fultz lost his shot, my man had to relearn how to shoot. Ben simmons can learn to shoot some capacity. Bro just needs confidence, and he seems uninjured this season. It seems he's got good teammates that aren't dogging him/expect nothing. Not some all star, but I got faith, he will so better be a good sixth man.
I think we are way past the brother taking a few jump shots. The part of Ben's game that made him exciting is gone. He isn't a fast break menace like he was on the 76ers. He isn't a freat train going to the rim on the Nets His defense also took a hit. I'm not sure if it's because he sat out for a season or that he actually had back issues. But we didn't see the Ben Simmons we all know last year.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
he's out the league. There is no happy end to this. He is mentally done. He doesnt want to be in the NBA. He doesnt want to be a pro athlete. It's all good. but he needs to stop lying about it. Blaming everyone else and their mother for his choking.
I really want to see his comeback please!
Ben is a phenomenal basketball player and is gifted physically as an elite athlete in a huge body. His problems were almost entirely mental - and I do think that's something that people can conceivable come back from. However, the videos from anything except real games won't tell the story at all. Maybe he has been working with someone on his mental game but we won't see if he's made any progress until the real season starts, and he wont be stress tested unless he makes it to playoffs and those types of environments. The pressure was too much for him, we'll find out soon if it still is. I don't blame you or anyone for not believing he's overcome his hurdles... its definitely possible though
It absolutely impossible if you do not take ACCOUNTABILITY.
This is a brilliant idea, why do media or the world keeps making irrelevant people relevant. Idnore people whom are irrelevant and let's focus on relevant people then irrelevant people will actually work to become relevant.
When Ben says “I’m back!” It just means he’s not retiring this year
"I'm back...from getting some snacks boys. Where on the bench do you guys want me to sit? I'll sit anywhere, it's fine."
@@LiveLongAndProsperHonestly 😂 “just call me ‘Ben Chee.’”
@@Top_o_da_foodDChain Can't spell bench without Ben.
@@LiveLongAndProsperHonestly 🤣 yup
He's back means, he has a new streetclothes wardrobe for his 48 minutes per game on the bench.
That boys is a fool 😂
Can't wait to see what team will give him a big contract.
“Averaging another triple single.” -Chuck
Most of these misses, he just needs to get closer to the rim with that finger roll, like he did his first three seasons.
Please upload more. Come on!
The problem is this video is hyping me seeing how he fools them again...
Said in the video that people should stop talking about Ben, but still made a video talking about him lol
Deuce tatum had more playing time and I played just as good as Ben Simmons in the 2021-22 season
Man giving me Blake Giffin vibes
Maybe I've read his character wrong, but he would had succeeded way more if he was gated like Buttler was. Like Ben's love for game was already kind of meh after he failed in playoffs + coaches drilling him things he didn't want to hear + he got a massive bag. I couldn't imagine myself staying motivated either. 😅 maybe when people stop talking about him and he becomes irrelevant he might reconsider his life choices. The question is, will there be anyone to actually give him a shot when he is ready for it 😄
I have a REALLY HOT TAKE on this Ben BS: I think he will have some of his best seasons this year since he knows that its his last year of contract and if he dosen't show any sparks of who he was, no team would want him and will never see a payday.
So this season he will do his best (when healthy) and his stats I think will be like a 13/6/8 line thinking he will be the 3rd scoring option and the primary ball handler) and will finnessed some team with extra cap space to a 3-4 year contract beetween 15-20M/yr (look the example of Dillon Brooks with Houston) and then the cycle will be all over again and will do like one guy said in the comments: the most money possible with the least amount of effort.
This isnt the last year of his contract. His deal lasts through to 2025. So he can keep pulling his bs for at least another season.
He cant keep up for a whole season. Maybe he has 2-3 games where goes all in, but that's it.
what backing music does this guy use?
It's the flashy plays that makes headlines for the NBA, and makes people want to watch the NBA. If they advertise basketball fundamentals, it's boring, and no one watches. Then NBA doesn't makes money.
NBA, time to hit the reset button
we are too obsessed with "comeback" stories that we cant recognize a trash story
I feel like he only made this video because he was one of the very few people who still believed in Ben 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
To busy fkn ig models 😂😂😂
When Ben says I'm back, it means my back!!!
The hype vs actual play argument is why most people only watch the NBA on TNT and RUclips for sports analysis. ESPN is basically a telenovela with stats🤣🤣🤣
If he can be as good as he was 3 years ago, he’s still a borderline All-Star, and that’s the ceiling
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fool loved the vid😊
Fool. Excellent excellent video thank you
You forgot to influence people to stop talking about James Harden. He’s another Ben Simmons who can shoot if he feels like it
A scout literally warned everybody about Simmons.
“Nah I believe hes gonna come back, and be splashing 3s like curry didn’t you see his amazing jump-shot clips this off-season”
speaking of, jordan and bron comparisons still keep coming. bro just enjoy the sport
Perhaps it is time for us, NBA community, to recognize the fact that there are players that want the money without playing actual games in the NBA
there is so many like that, most guys we dont even know their names. But dont tell me Zion wants to play. He's busy effin side chicks, eating chicken wings. Dude has been in the league for like 4 years now and we still treat him like a rookie waiting for him to explode. Zion just in it for the money. His shy smirk was cute until you realized, he's afraid we'll notice he doesnt really wanna be here and just collect checks.
The random back injury was from him getting his back blown out
You’re sus as hell
Revoke the Ben 10 nickname from him
I know some Americans have trouble understanding irony but this video is a perfect example.
Been saying this man he fooled us all into thinking he was good but it was really just he was a big point guard so he'd bully most of them but now with most starting point guards being 6,6+ he can't keep up cuz he doesn't have an edge now and he's not used to playing like that so he gets scared lmao guys a joke if they did a 2016 redraft I bet he doesn't go in the lottery
Ben Simmons just doesn't have the mentality to be an NBA star.
Don't expect him to be anything more than a roleplayer, or the 4th best player on a team.
He's not a hardworker, and definitely not a winner. And yes, we should stop talking about him, because why would we give him more attention than any role player ?
It’s a shame how much money the nba is wasting. When a player refuses to play, they don’t get paid and can’t do brand deals at all.
Same when they make up an injury, wear fat suits and so on. What an annoying behavior
Ben Simmons social media team deserves better pay😂
And the guy who was traded for him, acted the same way (refuses to play until a trade happens)
I'm seriously doubting he can win Rookie of the Year this season.
Fool, yeah you right we shouldn't even be talking about Ben anymore
I would love to see Ben Simmons in a Warriors uniform
That travel at 9:45
Simmons' most valuable skill at this point is being the world's most punchable punchline. He brings that Real-Housewives flavor to the NBA, though the housewives are probably better shooters than him
I think Philly fucked up with him from the start and his first season. It was obvious that his one big flaw was lack of shooting, but instead of setting up a culture and vets that will push Ben towards working on that and at least trying to develop a shot, they not just tolerated him not improving, but they actually shielded him from any criticism. Which is fine if thats what they wanted, but when they lost that series to ATL, whole team sort of threw him under the bus and now his lack of shooting was Phillys biggest problem and reason why they losing even though for years it was not. Kid clearly took a big hit mentally and still did not recover while PHI continued to lose without him and obviously he was not the only problem they had. They literally did everything they could wrong in PHI from the start with him and we’ll see whether Ben can even come back and have a decent NBA career, but he seriously needs some good coaches and people around him that can help him deal with all challenges that come being a star in NBA.
He's nice. Watch next season gunna be an MVP candidate.
Didn't even know who this guy was, just saw comments that Jeremy Lin isn't in the league and this guy is.
Theoretically, Nets actually have a talented and high potential roster... Simmons mikal, dinwiddie, Cam Johnson... And they got a ton of assets for the trades they did... Could be like OKC if Simmons actually helps glue together the roster and play well
Let's talk about why we should stop talking about him :)
The whole video
The Ben Simmons cycle is
Ben makes a video
Media hypes him up
RUclipsrs make a video about how the media shouldn’t hype him up
I comment
They should put Ben Simmons picture in dictionary next to word CEO
Meet the new ben....same as the old ben
W Ben Simmons slander subscribing
Guy: we need to stop talking about Ben Simmons
Same Guy: makes a 12 minute video about Ben Simmons
NBA is both weak physically in games and enforcing their rules. How can the NBA allow these kind of players to this!?
I can guard Ben Simmons, just stand back
Once he starts playing with no fear of getting fouled, thats a better start.
Raw talent is very seductive. We all want to see guys who might be amazing actually be amazing. But, eventually, the stats cannot be denied and a player has to deliver.
Hear me out - Ben Simmons as Point Forward on the Warriors.
im so sick of being a philly fan
lol ur the only one i know talking about him
i don’t think the media wants to talk about ben simmons either but drama’s what gets them clicks and views so they gotta hop on hype trains, making bold predictions, then destroying those guys who were so hyped up because it’s good drama fodder
Ben is fooling you because you made a new video about him😂😂😂😂 Loved the vid tho🎉
