Nothing wrong with this statement.

Always blows my mind that these guys donât realize that the reason that they get paid umpteen million dollars is because fans are passionate and care so much. Theyâre happy enough to take the money and fame that comes from fans being so invested, but whenever they get criticism they switch to âitâs only a game bro, why do you care so much?â.
Of course I donât agree when the criticism spills over into bullshit like death threats or going after their families, thatâs way over the top. But I donât see any problem with them being criticized for their performance/effort level, it comes with the territory when you take the money.

Itâs funny to us too Ben

And r/NBA took that personally

Yeah I mean it’s so funny, he completely blew it in 2021 and decided to hold out because of the criticism while making hundreds of millions, and some people care lol

People on here mad Ben isnât saying that fans tears ruin his life. What else is he supposed to say?
Yâall get so unhinged when players remind you not to act like a child. Nobody hates passion but mindless hate on players is way too excessive n itâs not always just good faith booing

The philly broadcaster couldn’t even say his name last night and the whole time I’m like no way a grown ass man is acting like this lmao

I mean it is funny, the Sixers commentator couldnât even say his name all night

Is his Australian accent completely gone lol?

The commenters in here trying to criticise Simmons for taking a lighthearted approach to the boos and hate are exactly the type of people he’s referring to, lol. And if he was upset about it you’d say he’s soft and can’t take the criticism.

Looking at his stats it worked lol

Grown men get angry at sports events pretty often.

Simmons has zero self awareness lol but hey I wouldnât give a fuck either if I was paid millions to sit on the bench or put up zero pointsÂ

The âgrown menâ thing is always funny to me. On the one hand, yes, these are adults booing people younger than them, which seems weirdâŚ
on the other hand, these are multi-millionaires playing a kids game, and if you stink and especially if you hardly ever play you signed up for the criticism (and can shake it off with all those Benjamins in your bank account)

Embrace the heel return, soak in the hate, become stronger lol

This is definitely the by-product of some sports therapy. The therapist helped him put the boos in Philly in its proper context.
In the year after the passed up playoff dunk against ATL, and all throughout the year of trade demands that followed, the crowd was DEFINITELY in his head.

This is the same âgrown manâ who is a professional basketball player who is literally scared to go anywhere near a rim for fear of missing a free throw. Comical.

if you explain sports fanaticism bluntly, it sounds fucking insane

The players are the ones that should be hating on him. He is going to be one of the examples the owners point to when they absolutely crush the players in the next CBA. I’m confident the owners are going to push for no more guaranteed contracts moving forward and games played minimums.

He could actually say the same about his coaches over the years.

âItâs just funny how there are still people in this city mad at me for being bad at my job and quitting on themâ
I translated this. I know he speaks Australian or whatever the fuck.
