Simmons is washed. The dude can't shoot and can't stay healthy. I believe this is the last year of this ridiculous contract. Once it is done, they can move on from him. Simmons at best could maybe get a veteran minimum contract going forward. More than likely his future is in the D League.
Nope, he's just an NBA player, Clint Capela could hit 25 3s in a row in shoot around if he wanted to. Same thing goes for Andre Drummond, Steven Adams, hell, Boban Marjanovic. These are NBA talents, the top 500 of 8 billion people
Ben Simmons suffered a career ending mental injury when Trey's all NBA defense stopped him at the rim. In that moment his confidence was forever shattered.
I have to see to believe it. Ben Simmons has been doing this every off season...but same results 🤔..you get paid to shoot the Ball...so shoot the Ball 😡🤬
So just like water remains wet and the sky presses onward as blue…Simmons trots through an embarrassment of a career in his metrosexual fashion clothes while pretending improvement comes from social media and a publicist. Ben Simmons is the warning sign the nba needs to finally recognize and stop giving players so much power!
i dont even wanna watch this video anymore 3 summers in a row lmao, death, taxes, mikes video on bens summer shooting......even kept the kobe telling simmons needs a shot clip
For example, Shaquille O’Neal never developed a jump shot, but he still won 4 championships. He didn’t need a jump shot to be great, because he was already great. But the 3 things he got was his mentorship of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Dwayne Wade, and he still holds the record for most broken back boards and he brought a struggling Orlando Magic franchise back to relevancy. As much as Charles Barkley love throw shade Shaq’s way, Barkley isn’t half the player Shaq was, and he never will be. But we’re talking about Ben Simmons, who wasn’t drafted for taking over an offense and become a primary scorer in day one, Phili wanted a player that can dunk, pass, and defend, so they drafted Ben Simmons to fill that role. No I am not saying that Simmons is Shaquille, I was using Shaq as an example, because they both fill the mold and that they are one of the same player except they have different careers. I believe Simmons can be salvageable, he just needs to be on the right team and in the right culture, that is why I think what’s best for Simmons is to go to the Heat and rejoin Jimmy Butler.
Either he quit and isn't mentally able to play or he really had a back injury and it is liable to reappear. Veteran minimum? Sure, but one dollar more than the minimum is wasted money.
Thats what happens when you are surrounded by Yes Men .. even Doc said before that he didnt need Ben to shoot 3s.. that Ben already "brings enough" on the court 😂
Idk why you guys are surprised every time you see an offseason video of Simmons practicing his jumper. That’s how he keeps getting contracts, gotta fool the nba some how😂
By nothing, you mean being a number one overall pick, rookie of the year, 3 time all star and then having two back surgeries. What should he be doing now since it's the off season?😊
Doc talked trash about Ben and he showed the NBA that he will make over 100 million and not play at all. Sounds like a very smart person and who else can say they made over 100 million for not working 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Go Ben Simmons 🏀
He is an idiot because he could've made more. A lot more. Also could've been a hall of fame player and just been all around respected instead of being the complete joke he is now.
Ben Simmons offseason workout and shooting pure comedy nobody falls for those videos anymore 😂😂😂 even the trainers prob don’t believe it when the season starts
Ben Simmons is annoying. But you don't have effing back surgery on a "random back injury". The dude has his obvious limitations, but if healed from his legit injuries, he is still a solid player.
It's actually not just the jump shot that Ben Simmons lacked but he had no post game either. That's the other part of his half court game that's always been lacking that nobody talks about.
0:00 this is how far I’m going Ben is one of my favorites but I can’t see for the 3rd year inna row him knowing how to shoot all summer but can’t shoot when the season starts🤦🏾♂️
Great and fun video but you couldn't resist to make another video I'm so happy this is probably the last season so we don't have to make fun of him because it's obvious to his career in the NBA is over
All the physical tools, great court vision particularly at his size and position, high level of athleticism. Questions abound about the mental aspect of his game and when you're talking NBA just having the physical side absolutely won't cut it. I hope the kid gets it together, but he needs to take full accountability both for himself and publicly. Last chance really at his age and going into UFA status.
LeBron could shoot his rookie year he just had to adjust to NBA range threes. People were not worried about his shot the potential was always there and threes were not vas valued in 2003. No one ever looked at Ben Simmons and thought he could shoot at all. totally different in my oppion but yea ben got a lot of lebron comps.
Shooting in an empty gym is not "working on your jump shot." If you want to develop a real jump-shooting game, then you need to run drills that get you moving and shooting at different distances regularly. You also should run shooting exercises where someone is actually guarding you. Lastly, there are a lot of balance, strength, and conditioning exercises that can improve form and consistency. Putting up shots in a gym aint it.
He should be shooting free throws right handed by now. All he needed to do was maintain a 65% free throw percentage and all would be good. If Mason Plumlee can increase his percentage to 74% over the last two seasons, I’m sure Ben can.
Funny how "no one cares about Ben Simmons" or "I didn't even know he was still in the league" yet there's constant updates and videos about him filled with comments
I'm back after my last post of 1k+ talking about Ben Simmons on our birthday, lol. I really don't know what we'll ever see out of Ben, but I do think he can finesse another contract like Tabias Harris.
why people getting mad at Doc Rivers for being honest? Ben Simmons should have been like, "yeah he's right, I gotta do something about it." but instead he acted like a baby and refused to play.
Unfortunately, players like Simmons and Tatum need real life OG Kobe to talk to them one on one pushing them to be their best. That Mamba mentality is limited to them without the source. RIP Kobe 😢

@@Jesussaves852 luv ya fam lol
He gets a jumpshot every summer and he loses it every pre-season.
I can make a few unguarded shots in a row too 😭
😂
@@ethanespo96😂😂 oh shit bro me too… maybe we should go to the combine 😅

The most accurate comment ever this shows being tall makes you a millionaire
That Kobe quote aged like fine wine 🍷. Rip to one of the greatest of all time.🗿
He played the game firsthand, he most likely witnessed other players similar to Ben Simmons so his future was set unless he changed his work ethic
Bars
❤❤🙏🙏
The dude was a rapist and you're over here praising him..
Feels like Mike should just reupload his old Ben Simmons Video and call it a day😂
This 😂.
thats what he did. Exact same video word for word except the first video clip lol.
Just putting in the same amount of effort Ben puts into his jumpshot
Ahh yes offseason Ben Simmons shooting video 😂
Its so infamous its a trade mark 😂
It’s not an off season if you don’t have one 😂😂
A tale as old as his back injury 😂😂😂
Not this "Bennie Simmie can now hit threes" again, we experienced this for 4 straight years Ben
C'mon ben..
5 years
Video starts @11:40 the rest is just a repeat of old vidoes.
Yup, turned a 4-5 min video into a 15 to pad time for ads
Thank you.
Ben Simmons suffered a career ending mental injury when Trey's all NBA defense stopped him at the rim. In that moment his confidence was forever shattered.
I’m not convinced he didn’t film all these shooting videos the same summer
Facts!!! And you know how much videos you could delete and retake till you get it on the money! Could imagine the videos that didn’t make the cut😂
D’lo said he used to be able to shoot when they was younger I feel like his issues are 100% mental
He isnt tricking anyone any more playing decoy and passing. He should try to do a dremond green role. Warriors should pick him up if they cut him
Even Draymond will actually shoot once in awhile
Draymond will shoot if he’s open that’s the problem is you can just sag way off him and double Curry, he won’t even shoot midrange
“Random Back Injury” is diabolical 🤣
I have to see to believe it. Ben Simmons has been doing this every off season...but same results 🤔..you get paid to shoot the Ball...so shoot the Ball 😡🤬
Come back when he has another random “back injury” and post more workouts
Bro theres a reason why people are so mad and never let it go. The potential was unreal
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
LOOOOL
Not for long tho! He’s definitely not getting any more max contracts
Last year of this contract. He is a vet minimum contract guy AT BEST. The way it has been going, he is going to Europe or the D-League.
He doesn't have to. $180 million!! It takes a special talent to take $ from stupid people. He is absolutely great.
One day younger generations won't understand how much of an impact on basketball culture Ben Simmons off season shooting videos have made
No way! Hoodies Melo 😂
Not fallin for this shi bro😭🙏
Exactly
We got GTA 6 before another Simmons all star appearance.
So just like water remains wet and the sky presses onward as blue…Simmons trots through an embarrassment of a career in his metrosexual fashion clothes while pretending improvement comes from social media and a publicist.
Ben Simmons is the warning sign the nba needs to finally recognize and stop giving players so much power!
Sitting on the bench in the playoffs dressed like a literal clown.
Ben is the BIGGEST walking (What IF) symbol Bro never tried
i dont even wanna watch this video anymore 3 summers in a row lmao, death, taxes, mikes video on bens summer shooting......even kept the kobe telling simmons needs a shot clip

Shaq only shot 50% free throws. Same as Wilt Chamberlain. But they shot twice as much free throws as anyone else.
Times running out. And so is patience
His saving grace is that even still of he gets back “healthy,” everyone loves a GOoD comeback story.. kind of like Khawi
Either he quit and isn't mentally able to play or he really had a back injury and it is liable to reappear. Veteran minimum? Sure, but one dollar more than the minimum is wasted money.
Mike you said you wasn’t gonna do these anymore
Yes but a lot of people tagged me in the post requesting it 😂
We'll get gta6 before simmons gets a jumper
We'll get GTA 7 and half life 4 before he even tries to shoot in game
Thats what happens when you are surrounded by Yes Men .. even Doc said before that he didnt need Ben to shoot 3s.. that Ben already "brings enough" on the court 😂
The only difference between Draymond and Ben Simmons is Draymond doesn't need to deal with Embiid
You mean Embiid doesn’t have to play out of his comfort zone to accommodate for Ben Simmons.
At this point it just looks like hes trolling.
Nah he just knows that’s how he keeps getting contracts. Just act like your practicing a jumper and the teams fall for it every time
This is the last year of his 5 year contract. We'll see if he "keeps getting " contracts.
Idk why you guys are surprised every time you see an offseason video of Simmons practicing his jumper. That’s how he keeps getting contracts, gotta fool the nba some how😂
I speak for most Miami heat fans “WE DON’T WANT BEN SIMMONS”!!!!!!!!
Not even a heat fan like that and I don’t wish that for you guys
A trade for Simmons only makes sense if a team is trying to get out of a big long term contract. I don't see how Miami benefits at all.
Go on, take him what do u have to lose 😂
I wish I could sit down and get paid millions of dollars to do nothing
By nothing, you mean being a number one overall pick, rookie of the year, 3 time all star and then having two back surgeries. What should he be doing now since it's the off season?😊

The Annual Ben Simmons Off Season Shootarounds 😂😂= Bad Season or Random Injuries / Repeat 🔁
quitting on his squad at LSU was pretty foreshadowing of his shit work ethic. he'll be playing big 3 next season if anything in the states
A friend of mine said the same in 2016. He said despite being the most talented prospect he would not draft Simmons with the number one pick.
Ben Simmons offseason workout and shooting pure comedy nobody falls for those videos anymore 😂😂😂 even the trainers prob don’t believe it when the season starts
This is my favorite time of the year 🎉
Congrats on a million bro! 🎉
The ben simmons summer trailer came out yet mike?
Still blows my mind how you post workout vids of you shooting 3s but don’t even ATTEMPT one in game
Almost at 1mil.
Been watching since 500k
Loving the way Mike melting down to his own yearly Benn Simmons update/content 😅😅😅☠️
Bro, he’s gonna be paid a packet of salt chips next time his contract is over.
Ben Simmons hitting a jumper and Zion getting slimer, over time this 2 stories became an urban legend every off-seasons.. 😂
Ben Simmons is annoying. But you don't have effing back surgery on a "random back injury". The dude has his obvious limitations, but if healed from his legit injuries, he is still a solid player.
"I'm still fast, I can jump high" bro should play Vball.

0:00 this is how far I’m going Ben is one of my favorites but I can’t see for the 3rd year inna row him knowing how to shoot all summer but can’t shoot when the season starts🤦🏾♂️
Can't wait to see him doing jump shots ❤🎉
I see the Acolyte caught a stray...got yourself another sub.
Man at this stage I just want to see the dude do well, what a story it would be
Great and fun video but you couldn't resist to make another video I'm so happy this is probably the last season so we don't have to make fun of him because it's obvious to his career in the NBA is over
Here for the yearly Ben vid
lol on the "random back injury" 😅
dude you coooooooooooked in this one
Say what you want about Ben Simmons, but he is a very productive guy when healthy. His statline is insane 3 stocks, 15 ppg, 7-8 assist, & 7-8 rebounds
THE BE SIMMONS FORESHADOW BY KOBE STILL KIND BOGGLES TO ME THIS DAY 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Kobe knew hoop for sure for sure, saw through the hype. Simmons was still a Hell of a player despite his deficiencies
Haven’t heard this before
Acolyte was dope man, you missed out

This season, Ben got nowhere to hide. He gonna ball out for a big contract or Vet minimum
Not Disney Star Wars catching strays 😂

He does this ever off season man😂and Kobe ain’t lied
Ben Simmons is like like the government, they keep giving us two bad choices but we hope for different outcome
This is a double gut shot being a Sixers fan 😂 2:17
He should be shooting free throws right handed by now. All he needed to do was maintain a 65% free throw percentage and all would be good. If Mason Plumlee can increase his percentage to 74% over the last two seasons, I’m sure Ben can.
Ben’s shots and Zion’s weight is a must, that’s how I know the regular season is about to begin.
Here we go again
"random back injury" is CRAZY 😂
Wolf has been cried many times before, it's gotten into "fool me _____, shame on me" territory
3 things are always sure in life: death, taxes, and the yearly Ben Simmons workout videos 😂
Funny how "no one cares about Ben Simmons" or "I didn't even know he was still in the league" yet there's constant updates and videos about him filled with comments
Man, I was a fan of prime Ben Simmons, he was a lot of fun to watch. It may be too late to revive his career.
Mike doesn't even need to make a new video. He can upload the old one, same story.
13:32 I was like of flight reacts said that? Then I heard it again 🤣
I'm back after my last post of 1k+ talking about Ben Simmons on our birthday, lol. I really don't know what we'll ever see out of Ben, but I do think he can finesse another contract like Tabias Harris.
I’m always down for a Ben Simmons roast
I genuinely hope this young man figures it out.
Starting to believe theflightmike has a personal vendetta against this man 😂😂
He has one every offseason 😂
kobe’s quote is still so crazy a wrinkle into the story
Lol James had a jumpshot homie
why people getting mad at Doc Rivers for being honest? Ben Simmons should have been like, "yeah he's right, I gotta do something about it." but instead he acted like a baby and refused to play.
I can’t wait till some of his old/new teammates retire and get on one of these podcast and talk about ben
the off-season GOAT!
wow. so ironic kobe says 'im dead ass serious!" omg RIP
As a Sixers Fan, I’ve been snake-bitten! It hurts
Sure he does
The diagram is jokes bits it superbly true
He's going to go to LA, and turns into Superman. They win three straight, you heard it here first.
I truly hope Ben Simmons can re-adjust and make a come back
Unfortunately, players like Simmons and Tatum need real life OG Kobe to talk to them one on one pushing them to be their best. That Mamba mentality is limited to them without the source.
