> Giddey said he’d “spoken a little bit” to Simmons during the early parts of the season, but called for patience for the three-time All-Star to get back to his best form.
> “He was dealing with some stuff with Philly and now has a fresh start in Brooklyn,” Giddey said. “People forget Ben’s an All-Star, he is one of the best players in the league. He’s obviously going to need time to find his feet again, he hasn’t played for a long time in the NBA.”
> “I’m excited for what he can do and hopefully soon we can be a part of the Boomers together and help Australia win a gold medal.”
Do you think Ben will be healthy/care about basketball enough to compete this summer, or will his back tighten up on him again?

I think Ben Simmons forgot that
Didnt he blow off austrialia to recover mentally from sixers fans?
I don’t think Ben care about representing Australia.
Doubtful
Didn’t Simmons never accepted to play for Australia?
Josh must not know he doesn’t want to play basketball
lol
>he is one of the best players in the league
Which league?
Other than wearing the occasional yellow and green shoe colorway I don’t think he’s ever hinted at actually wanting to represent Australia. Even after Patty made a big deal about it last summer.
Is he though?
Subtle superior Aussie flex. Good on ya, Joshy boy.
Simmons’ cares about Australian team as much as Kyrie.
I mean Presti will eat Ben’s contract if the Nets can track down some first round picks to attach.
Whose gonna tell him
Ben Simmons forgot that Ben Simmons is an all star
People forget because he WAS an all star. He’s not an all star now.
Damn y’all really don’t do anything but hate shit is crazy
Okay, Boomer
Was, not is. Unfortunately
If you have to remind people that someone’s an all-star, maybe they’re not an all-star
Im so jealous of Giddey’s hair
One Australian player who can’t shoot talking up another Australian player who can’t shoot.
They both suck.
Josh Giddey forgets which Ben Simmons he’s talking about.
you guys are laughing now, but don’t forget that the next Olympics are in Paris, which is heaven for a Young Socialite^(®️) like Mr. Simmons
Go get your man, Presti.
I wish I could fuck up at my job for years at a time and still have people blindly believe in me like Ben does.
I mean, former all star. No one is talking about Carmelo is an all star, Westbrook is an all star.
Who’s gonna tell him?
He took an arrow to a knee
Love how all the Australians back him mindlessly.
he’s quite literally been one of the worst players in the league this year
Ben WAS an All-Star, just like Aaron Rodgers WAS an MVP.
World keeps turning, people
NARF
Ben is barley a G leaguer at this point. Who cares about the past.
Ok Zoomer
Meanwhile, the guys who actually trained with him the last time he turned to the national team: “ugh fuck that guy”
man I can’t believe we’re already at the ‘He was an All Star, so he can’t be bad!’ stage of Ben’s career already wow
Leave Benny alone!
