  1. Ben Simmons has ONLY 1 freethrow made in two months. ONE. This stat is nearly statistically impossible in the history of the NBA unless you are absolutely avoiding contact.

    He is refusing to score and his defense is not great, he had only ONE block last month, while still commuting too many fouls.

  2. Right now there is a team thinking, "Ben would be a completely different player if he played for us." There is always a greater fool.

  3. Kennys insight is dead WRONG.

    a 0 point and 13 assist game is in most cases a net negative. Most of his assists are not from shot creation, but its just him swinging the ball around because he doesnt want to shoot or from stationary handoff passes. His 9 boards are also overrated, because most are just completely uncontested defensive boards. He is literally not doing much of anything, and in a game where you need to score 120 points to win, his 0 points and half empty assists literally mean next to nothing!

  4. Kenny needs to be sent down to the G League commentary for 10 days. He’s struggling right now.

  5. I understand the points they're making, but they also need to be objective, Simmons had a +10 when he was on the court, the rest of the team went -3 and under… It is important to score, but it is also important to play defense.

    When a player drops 30+ playing no defense they doesn't even care, but if a player doesn't score and plays Elite defense they start judging, and it is exactly the same thing but from a different perspective

  6. Bum Simmons is the worst player, you say anything to him because he will start with his mental problem

  7. Ben Simmons played 26 min 13 assists 9 rebounds 5 fouls o points and no free throw attempts that’s unacceptable for 26 minutes you couldn’t find your shot once!?!

  8. Ben is a pass first, score later player. Very valuable but not what Brooklyn needs with Durant out. But it is also a cultural thing: Americans emphasize stats and individual achievements all the time. You can be a good player without scoring a bunch of points and most Americans do not get that. It is ALWAYS scoring. Lebron scoring 35 and losing makes more sense to them.

  9. Ben is really having confidence and esteem issues. You can hear it in his tone he is afraid to speak to the media

  10. Ben Simmons was a +10 this game. He was not the issue. Every single other player on his team was a minus. He got to stop fouling tbh. If he doesn’t get pulled so much for fouls the Nets win this game.

  11. Don't be Westbrook tho 🤣
    Dude is still one of the most INEFFICIENT players in the NBA

  12. I hope Ben watch this. I support you man. These guys are saying the truth. You are over thinking the passing game. In most occasions you are in a better position to score a higher percentage shot than someone else from outside.

  13. sometimes you see kenny get exposed lol… kenny was a great players but has nowhere near the knowledge of charles and shaq. sure kenny won twice… because of hakeem

  14. Simmons gonna be embarrassed by elite teams fouling him in a close game in 4th quarter ,
    specially in playoffs.

  15. Simmons plays the games as someone who is 5'3". On offense, Simmons drives the ball up to the 3pt line and dumps the ball off 99% of the time, and then stands there.

  16. Too play basketball you have to at least make a lay up dunk. Lucky free throw something. I know his game is coming where he goes off for like 15 lol. He has the size to average 15 alone. Just smh. I love Ben tho.
