i honestly do not care about him anymore. there was a period after the pass where when his name came up, it made my blood boil, but im beyond that now and just feel nothing. he clearly has physical issues, and it seems he probably has mental health issues as well that make it difficult for him to play the game of basketball. my suspicion is that once his contract ends, hes just going to stop playing, because it doesnt seem like he enjoys it. and that happens. hopefully he finds some kind of peace and is able to move on with his life.

Yes. Reddit seems to want me to see that too lol

What happened to rookie season Ben Simmons? That guy was fun to watch. This post-Hawks meltdown version might not get a third contract.

Lmao. R/nba said we were too mean to him

Some of y’all take this too seriously lol I don’t care about Ben either it’s just funny to me that of all the posts, this one popped up. And it’s just funny that another organization is going through the exact same thing as us Sixers fans.

Fuck this dude fr man.. given a million chances and still not caring to improve

He’s just another guy at this point. The player formerly known as Ben Simmons. He will only be remembered for not fulfilling his potential. He will move back to Australia and play in the NBL and for the national team and become an afterthought. He only has himself to blame.

The bum didn’t shoot the ball his entire life and this person thought he was gonna starting shooting for the Nets all of sudden?

Popped up on my feed for some reason. Fought the urge to connect with the James Franco “First time?” Meme.
It’s sad that they haven’t figured this out yet.

Can’t get mad at the nets fans for having hope. We had hope for a lot longer then them, are we fools? No, I say remove the plank from our own eye before judging New York

I don’t recall if it was this yr or last. We played the Nets in Phila. We were up big, and Embiid had a big play. There was a dead ball, and Embiid walked up behind Simmons and bumped into him, and said something to him. Simmons played like a beast for the rest of the game. It was cool to watch. And it pissed me off

Dude is sadly cooked, Ben had the potential but his body is not going to let him reach it.

Sad and soft. Soft and sad.

I forgot Ben Simmons existed

Is it me or are there less fouls being called in general?
The answer is he doesn’t give a shit about being a great basketball player. He just likes the peripheral luxuries that come with being in the nba. He’s a bitch.

Beyond thankful he’s out of Philly.

Simmons will go down as one of the biggest disappointments in NBA history, and he only has himself to blame. His physical tools and natural talent gifted him every opportunity, only for him to piss away his career by never actually putting in the work. He had NBA legends in his ear giving him advice, which he wholly ignored in his arrogance and hubris. Then he pissed off a city that supported him and pushed him and wanted him to win, and did so in the slimiest, pettiest way. He is the epitome of laziness and entitlement, the poster child of talent without work, and the dude that will go down as the basketball player who REFUSED to shoot the basketball. End rant.

His business is his business, but if he does have some mental health issues going on, I hope he finds a way to cope and uses his experience to help players in the future once he’s walked away from playing.
briglialexis
What a loser
jcmib
I can’t think of another player’s career that has played out this way. He hasn’t pissed it away due to drugs, he’s hurt but other players have worked harder with worse injuries like Shaun Livingston and even KD. It’s unreal.
Curious-roadrunner
I’ve come all the way around and now think he really has a bum back.
Or he’s just a bum.
And the circle continues.
ericjr96
There’s no way he’s not visualizing what it might be like to dominate in Thailand soon. For whatever reason this dude is broken and will never sniff the potential he once had.

The evidence is so overwhelming that head cases just can’t make it at the pro level no matter how much physical potential they have.

Scared to shoot
But clowns here thinking Simmons is a [pretty close to ideal third guy](https://www.reddit.com/r/sixers/comments/1axpbae/what_does_he_even_do/krrku9a/) next to Embiid and Maxey lol
