+MaccBoii I'm from Argentina so of course I'm some kinda Manu fan lol. But he was dunking on people, making acrobatic plays, playing amazing d on superstars... he went to the Spurs 100% ready. Pop always loved his winning attitude and mental toughness.
***** of course Pop wasnt joking when he said his gonna make him a great player, give this guy two more yrs and him and kawhi will be the one two punch with Davis Bertans being the Peja Stojaković and Dirk put together you'll see, Bryn Forbes will be the Steph of that team or even better shooter...
He's playing more of a roll this year. Last year it seemed like he was more of a 3rd team player for the spurs but now he's getting a lot more playing time. He has the potential for being a great 6th man for the team.
Shaking my head at people saying Coach Pop should have played him during the playoffs vs OKC. Jonathon Simmons is really good and has a lot of potential, as you can see in the highlights. However, he only plays really well in spurts and that is what is shown here in the highlights. Most of the time especially against high level and top contender teams, he is turnover prone, inconsistent, hesitant to shoot the ball, bad decision making, inconsistent and showing no confidence at all. Now imagine if Pop played him against a top contender team like OKC in a playoff atmosphere. Trust me, I've watched and followed the Spurs all season long. But no worries, last season was for him to get a taste of the NBA, and this upcoming season is for him to improve upon it and contribute consistently with the team. I think they are envisioning him to replace Manu Ginobili, as they are running the same plays as Manu's, but he can't execute it well. Sames goes to Kyle Anderson as he will be replacing Boris Diaw, this coming season will be their breakout season.
He is kind of like Kawhi coming into the league no confidence not a skilled shooter great athlete has some potential on offense but main focus will be defense and sharp cuts to the basket
He is not going to be Kawhi or probably reach that level, but he is going to be a solid core and rotation player for the Spurs. He's only 26, and remember, Manu Ginobili and Tiago Splitter joined the Spurs at age 25. So there's still room for improvement.
He be better this year tho Might be Manus last year Simmons gettin min as the backup 2 Simmons Look good in Summer League showing off that Pick n Pop Mid Range
They would have won a title if not for the dirty play on Kawhi. I truly believe it. By the end of the year, that Spurs team was filthy. They had the athleticism to beat GS and they were. Damn this team was beautiful and fun
Simmon's level of play is like he's just not good enough to be super effective against the opposing starters but just good enough to demolish the opposing bench.
+CrunchMan'83 exactly Pop is like coach Belichick relies on his system to much rather playing the better players which leads to tough losses but always competitive.
I was thinking the same. this man plays like he's hungry. he got mouths to feed and that's obvious. he brings energy to the game like they did in the 80's. one of my favorite players right now.
Can you do also some of the Portland Trail Blazers playersz. Nearly every one of them have strong seasons.Like Mccollum,Crabbe,Henderson,Aminu,Harkless,Davis,Plumlee and Lillard. Also thanks for the amazing videos
Darude Marc I have never found the spurs boring. I like to watch the way their offense work. The passing and spacing. Manu's euro is enjoyable to watch. The way kawhi plays defense is amazing. But not everyone has the same view that the spurs aren't boring. I just hope Jonathan Simmons can change the view of spurs as a "boring" team.
I just watched this video with Jonathan Simmons and he is truly amazing! I read that Kawhi wanted the Spurs to dump Parker and Manu and resign Jonathan and Dewayne Dedman. Of course that never happened! Jonathan Simmons was another player, along with Kawhi, that old man popovich could not control and he did not know what the hell to do so he dumped him. Well, at least those two got out from under iron fist popovich where the rest of the players act like zombies!
Snicky G Isn’t it funny, how no player or coach has ever spoken bad about popovich in the 20+ years he’s been a coach in this league except for delusional ass Stephen Jackson who thinks he’s better than manu. other players and superstars like Lebron and kd have said vocally that they would love to play under pop, but fans like you create these bullshit narratives to antagonize a man that has done nothing wrong in his career.
What a waste. Imagine Kawhi, Jonathan Simmons what dynamic duo should have been. 2 players both 2 way players my God Spurs waste this opportunity to have another dynasty. They even have kyle anderson, Dejounte Murray and still better offense Danny Green. We can only just imagine this now
This guy defense might not as good as Kawhi. But if he can chase down LeBron, he is a hella great defender. I mean he LeBroned LeBron. That's something.
this dude crazy athletic!
Kawhi Leonard proved it blocking curry dunk
called it ;)
More like dwade ×2
He has a particular way of flicking the ball over the rim when he gets close that is just insanely accurate
Miss you 2016 Spurs 💔
Jonathon "Secret Weapon" Simmons
Looking as fearless as rookie Manu out there. That's what I see.
yep. I remember the first time I seen ginobli play. crossing up kobe then dunking all over the lakers. boy those were the days
+MaccBoii I'm from Argentina so of course I'm some kinda Manu fan lol. But he was dunking on people, making acrobatic plays, playing amazing d on superstars... he went to the Spurs 100% ready. Pop always loved his winning attitude and mental toughness.
Muy buena opinión querido.
He seems like a young Vince Carter to me.
De
I love remembering players that have been forgotten.
Him,Kawhi and LA are getting rings. I love having Pau now that Tim is chilling! #goSpursgo
Jay Jackson it could've been better if we managed to get Demarcus cousins
VERY athletic LOOKING PLAYED UNDER COACH POPAVICH / WELCOME TO THE CITY OF BROTHERLY 💗
LOOKS very very ATHLETIC COACHED by COACH POP. WELCOME TO THE CITY OF BROTHERLY💗
The comment aged horribly unfortunately.
these highlights make this guy look unstoppable, dang dude!
Simmons has that strong 6th man quality, fuck it, he can start for most. My mans a beast with the rock, hell of a story getting into the league too.
This guy is gonna be a beast for the Spurs
Simmons got that D.Wade swag
Reminds me of a Rook D.Wade
Pop got these guys watching old highlights of other NBA stars smart move
***** of course Pop wasnt joking when he said his gonna make him a great player, give this guy two more yrs and him and kawhi will be the one two punch with Davis Bertans being the Peja Stojaković and Dirk put together you'll see, Bryn Forbes will be the Steph of that team or even better shooter...
PronunciationLesson right if pop got scalabrine on the spurs he might actually be a star xD
This aged like milk
Looking forward to seeing this guy continue to develop under Pop. SO much potential.
Carl Bennett showed it his first game
Welcome to phly💪
i swear the spurs make anybody look good
I always respected his hustle! Wanted Sixers to get him during that summer league! Simmons to Simmons! I get my wish now!
Just Imagine if Spurs if they Kept him:
Guards
Lonnie Walker
Dejounte Murray
Demar Derozan
Johnathon Simmmons
Derrick White
Crazy Athleticism
I hope he never leaves the Spurs
he might so he can play a bigger role on a team
Or more money.
He's playing more of a roll this year. Last year it seemed like he was more of a 3rd team player for the spurs but now he's getting a lot more playing time. He has the potential for being a great 6th man for the team.
😔
Too late... #gomagic

This why im happy whenever we send guys back overseas and to the D League to get better, example Mills, Green, and many more..
The Spurs always develop their players well... From a raptors fan thanks for developing Cory Joe
He be better this year tho
Might be Manus last year Simmons gettin min as the backup 2
Simmons Look good in Summer League showing off that Pick n Pop Mid Range
He is great.
This guy is special
Keep it up bro. I love these videos

WHAT COULD'VE BEEN. 2023 HE PLAYIN IN THE PBA
WTF??? Why didn't the Spurs have him in the Playoffs??? Dude is a beast...They needed him!
He wasn't ready yet, but he sure will be this coming season
Dudes a monster
They would have won a title if not for the dirty play on Kawhi. I truly believe it. By the end of the year, that Spurs team was filthy. They had the athleticism to beat GS and they were. Damn this team was beautiful and fun
Simmon's level of play is like he's just not good enough to be super effective against the opposing starters but just good enough to demolish the opposing bench.
He is now import in the Philippines.. congrats
Another gem discarded by Pop. What a shame.
jonathon simmons raw
Man I wish my boyy had a better opportunity he really a beast we use to run gyms in Houston together bro still out here balling 💯
He's got crazy potential. He's already a little old but I trust in PATFO making the most of him.
Welcome to the magic!
jimmy smith He is going to do good.
Career ended
Can you do Josh Richardson next please? Awesome videos by the way.
this guy can lead a team
His footwork and the way he runs and drive remind me a little of Kobe
UNDERRATED AF AF AF MY GOSH
It’s 2024 and I’m watching Jonathan Simmons highlights
Bring him back
Now he is in riyadi beirut lebanon❤
Where the fuck are the foul calls for this guy... like damn...
vaids nosmi lol they never give calls for people like him
The_one cam cam not to rookies anyway. Gotta prove himself
Damn he is good. i hope stay in the Spurs
why isn't this guy starting. looks like he has superstar potential
Kyle and Simmons are good together
nice video! can you please also make an highlight for kyle anderson from the dpurs too? hes such a high basketball iq player
2:38 Jonathon Simmons Block LeBron James 🔥
why'd he stop getting playing time?
pop doesn't trust him enough
+Bootum Bootum b/c Pop is an idiot.
+CrunchMan'83 exactly Pop is like coach Belichick relies on his system to much rather playing the better players which leads to tough losses but always competitive.
same reason guys like Gerald Green and Tony Snell will never get consistent playing time, a lot of offensive skill but low IQ
+CBarber22 they dont shoot 50% from the field and 38% from 3
Simon will annoy Speph curry for the entire series.
He's kinda like a lance Stephenson from the pacer years
Somebody's gonna pay this man
I was thinking the same. this man plays like he's hungry. he got mouths to feed and that's obvious. he brings energy to the game like they did in the 80's. one of my favorite players right now.
yeah Warriors need one of those fighters Green alone is not enough.Can't play just with finese players
the juice is taking manus spot after he retires 👍.
Taking a look at the new Sixer.
If this guy play plays like this we surely are going to be unstoppable with that starting 5
Can you do also some of the Portland Trail Blazers playersz. Nearly every one of them have strong seasons.Like Mccollum,Crabbe,Henderson,Aminu,Harkless,Davis,Plumlee and Lillard. Also thanks for the amazing videos
4:16 commentator: *speaking what hes reading*
me: we have EYES, you know. periodt
next superstar
mr. explosive "the juice"!
This guy brings life to a "boring" team
spurs aren't boring
Yolo Heavy if boring means theres not much posterizing, ankle breaking, or circus shooting, then youre a fucking douche
Darude Marc I have never found the spurs boring. I like to watch the way their offense work. The passing and spacing. Manu's euro is enjoyable to watch. The way kawhi plays defense is amazing. But not everyone has the same view that the spurs aren't boring. I just hope Jonathan Simmons can change the view of spurs as a "boring" team.
Can u do Allen Crabbe
Welcome to Philly!!!!!
Sucks they lost boban once that boban-simmons p&r developed they'd easily have the best bench in the league
I just watched this video with Jonathan Simmons and he is truly amazing! I read that Kawhi wanted the Spurs to dump Parker and Manu and resign Jonathan and Dewayne Dedman.

Spurs develop players, who then get paid & poached by other teams. We wish all former spurs the best.
If the spurs don't resign him they're going to miss out🤔💯
youngnebula187 that's what thay did......
Welcome to the Sixerss
Spurs got the most out of him. Unfortunately he wasn’t worth overspending on, despite being such an explosive athlete
He just joined the Warriors G League team!
Murray and Simmons big help for Leonard
Hurry up and re-sign with the Spurs so you can be in the freaking HEB commercials
Welcome to Philly
bw3236 yeah boy!! Perfect 👌 pick! Bench looking real nice Boss!!
Good riddance
And now he's not even in the leauge it's hurts cause I'm a spurs fan
Kyle Anderson ?
just imagine if golden states if they kept him
Wished 76ers got this version when he was in Philly.
What a waste. Imagine Kawhi, Jonathan Simmons what dynamic duo should have been. 2 players both 2 way players my God Spurs waste this opportunity to have another dynasty. They even have kyle anderson, Dejounte Murray and still better offense Danny Green. We can only just imagine this now
Why the hell didn't the SPURS keep this guy?!
Spurs are mad deep! I think it's wrong to just presume Golden State is going to just run roughshod over the rest of the West.
Then zaza came and does what zaza does we would of demolished those warriors
Just reminessing
This dude ain't given enough credit
I miss the old spurs..now we cant make playoffs
He plays like an athletic Kemba walker
Can you do Anthony norrow please
Him and kawhi are gonna be elite in a couple years when all the old heads are gone even though Kawhi is a top 5 player
What was #40's name?
Welcome to NLEX ROAD WARRIORS!
Why do SPURS do this i really wish we still had this guy we build them and get rid of them whyyyyyy SPURS he was our second kawhi out there
jordan clarkson?
Only point is he is already 28. What if he's only 21 OMG he must be a star
Make Tony Parker highlights
Where is this guy rn?
This guy defense might not as good as Kawhi. But if he can chase down LeBron, he is a hella great defender. I mean he LeBroned LeBron. That's something.
4:12 commentator: gotta fire
me: WHAT DO YOU THINK HE IS DOING???
Should stayed with the Spurs, would've been an awesome sg
WELCOME TO NLEX ROAD WARRIORS
