This was never a mental collapse. He never cared about basketball since LSU days. He just happened to be really naturally good at it. Got his 200 million and is now set for life
@@nitni0002 Yeah Fultz you can say was injury related. He had a muscle injury and had to pretty much relearn how to shoot. Simmons.....is just all in his head. I use to love and cheer for him but when he acted like no one supported him or tried to help him I was done.
I remember when Simmons refused to play for the Sixers because his feelings got hurt, he had an army of defenders online. That army is real quiet right now
Plenty of defenders simply cause haters get annoying lol. Not that big a deal you can find defenders of serial killers online 😂 people are just wild when it’s the internet
Air-balled? are you sure? ---"Airball: A missed shot that fails to touch the rim, net, or backboard." So you know... a shot where the BALL only touches AIR.
To be fair to Ben, ive played college level basketball and when your that wide open with defenders closing in quickly and slightly off balance those layups can be really tough. The real question is why didnt he just dunk it? He has the athleticism
@@chuifongtam4703There’s a difference in college level and NBA level. Professionals in any field need composure. That’s why they’re called professionals. It’s a business after all. Be ready or don’t show up
@@RevealedFilms You didn't understand the reference and it shows smh. They're both players who 'peaked' very young (both born in '96) and by the time they reached 25 years old, their careers as young stars or even being 'average' players was all but over.
@@Just_another_Euro_dude Yeah he's not 6'8. There are plenty of photos of him next to other players showing this. There are images of him next to Richard Jefferson (6'7) and Lebron (6'8+), and Simmons is noticeably taller.
I remember back in high school, 25+ years ago, to be on the team you had to be able to do layups in BOTH hands and from the opposite side of the rim. Good lord this is embarrassing for an NBA player.
This did not happen to him in College. His entire problem is mental. If he were a baseball player you would say he has the yips... performance anxiety. He's embarrassed himself a few times and now he plays scared of doing so again.
He can do layups with both hands and both feet on either side. It's just performance anxiety. It happens to some athletes. I've seen athletes shoot 90%+ in practice and then immediately miss layups ir basic finishes because rhey were so nervous. The more criticism you have om you, the worse it gets, too. Your whole body, tractory, and sense of proprioception gets thrown off because your nervous system gets thrown into overdrive
@@musicthemusicalperson4316 oh I get all that and I do know it’s mental. But these issues shouldn’t be happening to professionals say past their rookie and sophomore years. He also must have sought professional psychological counselling, I hope, when he’s been off for what seems like more than a season. He either needs to get right, or just retire.
Did you just smoke a lay up? Under no circumstances should you be smoking a lay up unless Lebron is right behind you, ready to end your Career. -Cash Money Mawk
@@ChryslerChristler Roy Hibbert at least had a good run. Gave prime Miami Heat and Lebron fits with his defense. Ben Simmons is known for passing a layup against Trae Young
@ i agree. Ben Simmon came to the nba touted to be next the lebron with his incredible all around game, at this point it feels like he dont even want to play basketball anymore..
Based on his stats, being heckled by Philly fans for missing free throws made him scared to go to the line and thus he hates going to the basket or risking being fouled. His free throw rate and percentage got worse and worse at home games while he was a Sixer. Usually, with every other player, both are better at home games.
When Charles Barkley developed the yips in golf he tried seeing therapists and even got hypnotized... At this point maybe Ben Simmons ought to try hypnosis too..
WHY DOES HE SUCK SO MUCH NOW? I just don't get it 😩 it's not that he absolutely CAN'T make some baskets. He averaged around 17 his first couple of years. He just doesn't even try anymore. He doesn't need to score 20 every game, but at least do SOMETHING outside of getting some assists and rebounds. Jeez la weez
There has never been anything like this in the history of the league. There have been players with no offence, but they came that way into the league, as role players,not max players. That's wild.
Gave Philly fans something to cheer about this season😭
Ikr. What a kind soul he has. Worthy of the 2025 R.O.Y
Adam Silver was blatant when scripting this one. He's makin it too obvious lmao
Yessir 76ERS
40mil a season POS. Sixers are doomed the day they chose Elton Brand in the office

This is the most mental collapse I have ever witnessed in an athlete. This man is absolutely bewildered.
It's sad

Close to the other side of the equator

Tomorrow's injury report: Ben Simmons (back) is week-to-week
dude. this has to be photoshopped LMAO no way Ben Simmons pulled off the most unprofessional move I've ever seen... AT PHILI?
@@dogeknows6086 and it turns out he has to miss the rest of the season with back surgery folks, and let’s be honest who is surprised
skill issue
Bruh having a PTSD on wide open shots
At least he ATTEMPTED it this time.
He's still a rookie figuring it out.
😂
Maybe he really should just stick to passing it everytime tho🤣
That was an attempt? Wtf was that actually lol... he literally went straight up ball had no angle to even hit the rim...
@@worldzealot
For Ben, the fact it left his hands towards the rim and not to another player is an attempt.
There’s no way he didn’t do that on purpose.
Yeh it almost looked like he did it on purpose. Suss af. He’s weird bro.
You give ben too much credit. He simply can't play basketball. If he wasn't 6"10 he would be a greeter at Walmart.
He would hoop your hating ass in every lifetime though. So yeah 🤷🏽♂️
Ben Simmons Revenge Game 🔥🔥
2 points 4 rebounds 4 assists bro was feeling dangerous 😩
😂
😂😂😂😂
triple single
"He's back!" after a dunk-- his first of the season🤣
LMAO 🤣

I remember him not having any defenders what are you talking about
It was mostly nets fans who thought he was gonna be a big 3 with kyrie and KD
Plenty of defenders simply cause haters get annoying lol. Not that big a deal you can find defenders of serial killers online 😂 people are just wild when it’s the internet
Bruh, YOU ARE TALL, DUNK THAT SHIT.
The Inside the NBA crew is going to have a field day with this.
@operez, 0:37 he knows he's about to be ALL 5 ENTRIES on Shaqtin' A Fool next week😂
@ he is 6’ 10” and there are HOF legends shorter than him that would have dunked in that spot.
He does not seem to care.
SHAQTIN A FOOL ALERT... 😂😂😂
Shaqtin❤
lol the commentator saying ‘so close’ got me hahah
Dude is a professional basketball player....and air-balled a layup
There's a video of him bricking every practice shot, like a dozen, before a game too. This dude's getting paid 40 million a year...
Air-balled? are you sure?
---"Airball: A missed shot that fails to touch the rim, net, or backboard."
So you know... a shot where the BALL only touches AIR.
He didn't he shot off the glass witch is much worse
Not an air-ball dude he just got blocked by the backboard...LMAO
@@gost3480it was further away from the rim than most airballs lol
0:07 fan in a white shirt's reaction 😂😂😂
its getting ridiculous at this point
@Saad, "GETTING"????😂
It’s been ridiculous! Where have you been?😅
And some genius had the nerve to say players today are more skilled lmmfao.😂😂😂
One guy misses lay up and the whole league sucks 🤡💀. Old fart
he tried to blame the ball that was slippery😂
Yep😂😂😂
Ben Simmons sucks man. He is ass
He was more focused on slapping the backboard than making the shot, he should've been focused on dunking that sh*t
Even if the ball was covered in butter, grease and mud it wouldn't be enough of an excuse to miss THAT.
It was legitimately a moisture situation
The announcers just being silent for the crowd is savage. Amazing.
He's basically a lottery winner.
😂
nah fr, he just big and half black thats his NBA credentials. Not even American lol wtf is he doing in the NBA 😂

They look great every year 😂
offseason Ben Simmons is the second greatest shooter ever
In august 😂😂
He should have a special move on NBA 2k, “August three”.
Bro tried to tap like a freshman in HS😂😂
How does he even miss a layup this bad? Worse than Anthony Bennett.
Anthony Bennett is still worse than
If he threw a rock at the ground he'll probably miss...🫣🙃

FRRRRRR
Shit if I was 6’10 I would of slammed it in
6 foot 8 or 6 foot 9. 6 foot 10 with sneakers on. Still should have dunked that! He is also athletic with that height. Shameful.
Kyrie barely over six feet and doing left handed hook shots in the lane.

Has he even forgotten how to dunk? Dude gets $40 million a year for this?????
Biggest heist in broad daylight
Not sure if anyone will give him another contract, we might not see him again in NBA soon
Guaranteed contracts are easily the worse thing to happen to the NBA
@@deonlepharaoh yeah, its like theyre getting paid like WCW wrestlers but the NBA isnt going out of business.
What makes the clip even more funny is he wipes his hands like that's why he missed. 😂
I honsestly think the ball slipped off his hands. No way you'd miss the basket by that much otherwise
🤣🤣🤣 Saying "So Close" On A Wide Open Layup Is Absolutely Diabolical!!
I remember back in high school, 25+ years ago, to be on the team you had to be able to do layups in BOTH hands and from the opposite side of the rim. Good lord this is embarrassing for an NBA player.

Love the commentator saying maybe there’s moisture on the basketball 😂 Lol maybe they should check if there’s baby oil 😂
Moisture on the basket is hilarious 😂 shes low key bullying
basketball she was saying before cut off, but yes
That missed layup might officially end Ben Simmons career, finally?!!
Nope, he'll be better next offseason practice.
The relationship between Ben and 76ers fans reminds me of a divorced couple still talking shit whenever they see each other.
He Angel Reese'd that and didn't even manage to grab the offensive rebound 🤣
One thing is sure, this will land in Shaqtin A Fool!!!!
Nah he will land in China next time you know it 😂
Hey Ben...that big square is painted on the backboard for a reason....use it!!!🤣🤣
But dude. Didn’t you see his workouts before the season started. MVP season
Always... he looking good BEFORE every season starts.. 7 in a row now
😂
I can't wait to see him start shooting those 3s they always talking about
I felt like he did that on purpose 😂😂
bruh you're 6'10
Hey, chill! Those baskets are like 10 feet high!!!! hahaha
"He like 5'11 at best. They stat paddin him. Dunk on him"😂😂😂😂
so he's taller than lebron 😂
Who cares, short guys like Iverson were the best at layup anyway
lol right… dunk the mf
The way Cam Thomas looked at him on the other end 🤣🤣
That is called attacking the basket.
He attacked the backboard from the looks of it 😭😭
😂
I cant believe he is still in the league
I wouldn't say the crowd went wild. They definately laughed.
Game's so back!!! Ladies and Gentlemen.Amd he hit his signature move too
Good to see that he's still helping the Sixers win.

left side of the rim = left hand = Simmons dominant hand. he really wants to play for the Shanghai Sharks next season.
