Ben Simmons return to NBA All-Star form 🤔
The Gil’s Arena Crew goes OFF about Ben Simmons’ return to the NBA and if they believe he is a true NBA All-Star anymore. After the return of his summer training videos, it always brings up the question of he his drill work basketball will get him back to form. His shooting doesn’t translate to the game. But we expect more out of Ben Simmons on the 76ers. He becomes bad in-game after passing on shots and passing the ball away Gilbert Arenas tells Rashad McCants. Ben Simmons needs to show us something with the Brooklyn Nets now to prove his worth.
Gil’s Arena every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

crazy to think ben was an all star early in his career lol completely fell off since
Bro u can’t out Magic and Ben in da same sentence, he ain’t neva like magic, and the older magic got the more he would shoot, he start hittin that setshot 3, but never in da same class.😂
But magic could score 20-30-40 points if needed
He doesn't want to pass the ball. He just doesn't want to shoot. Plus he doesn't even really care about basketball. If that doesn't change, nothing will.
Please don’t Disrespect Magic like that⁉️🤨 Magic Wasn’t Scared to take Big Shots‼️ Magic Won A Championship his rookie Year‼️ high school & College Championship ‼️ I understand your correlation but Heart is the difference between Greatness & Wasted talent‼️💪🏿🫡💯
Can we be honest, Ben Simmons is a coward and content with the bag he’s gotten already. 🤷🏾♂️
Denver needs to figure out a way to get him on a minimum contract and let him back up Aaron Gordon.
Shooting has never been the forte of Ben Simmons…I think he can excel when setting up Plays and attacking the rim
Ok …. Hear me out ……. What if he's just Andrew Bynum? What if he just want his money and to dip? Are y'all ever considering that?
Let me be a pass first point
Gil spittin
This are the same guys that critice to death a player like rudy gobert but glace the shit out of a ben Simmons
He could’ve easily been a top 5 player in the game
He’s nothing like Magic Johnson .. please don’t
Listen best case scenario he doesn’t shoot but he drives allot more they lost klay and got a dam near a similar tester of a “what if” player curry is unselfish so is Ben curry wouldn’t have to have the ball in his hands bc he has Ben now a playmaking Buh who doesn’t shoot but passes well there’s hella young guys who can shoot and get more open shots and pass shots maybe Simmons can actually go to a descent shooter and great ball driver idk we’ll see the Paul thing worked for a sec but that’s small ball at its finest and injuries caught up
He is a LOSER
GTFOH, he is nothing like Magic. Even at his best he wasn’t even close to Magics worst. He can’t get 12/8/8, he can’t find enough heart to get on the court. The scrub just wants his money to stay home
We saw his game in Brooklyn. He can still pass, still rebound, but the defense isn’t what it used to be, and he’s incredibly passive.
😂😂😂…every summer these videos come out with him shooting then the games start and he no where to be found. He was sorry in college idk what people see n him. Cnt shoot not really a good defender unless you wanna dribble around. Dnt defend his size well at all…keep stealing that money and retire!!
I miss Big Ben yow smh
Him as the Point and running non stop. Play with even more pace than the Pacers.
He’s still a great player in my opinion, but he’s shot emotionally. He was never able to fully bounce back after getting drug through the gutter for the playoff run four years ago. He’s had a lot of time sitting out and at only 28, his legs are still really fresh so he’s going to give the league hell if he ever figures it out mentally and go to an organization that can put him in position to be at his best.
Just a repeated cycle
His nothing like magic Johnson
His confidence is shot. I personally don't think that he'll return back to that form and that he's STILL shooting with the wrong hand. He looks so natural shooting right
He had a max contract too, that’s baffling 🤣
At his height, he could play SF. But he likes to play PG. And in today's game, a PG who can't shoot is useless. Forget defenders going under screens. Defenders won't even check him in the perimeter. They'll just camp in the zone and look out who he'll pass to. Can't create 2 on the ball.
HE NEEDS TO JUST REPLACE DRAYMOND I BE TRYNA TELL EVERYONE
He doesn't even do drills at game speed so it would never translate
Nope
Let your hairline go Gill ..😂
Ben will never be an all star
Old magic. Gil doesn't know who magic is. I didn't see magic pass an open shot and magic wants the ball in crunch time
Doc rivers screwed up Ben Simmons when he threw him under the bus lol.
Magic averaged 20
Ben mental is f-ed up. Y'all keep it real
Hope Michael blackson that black magic off of him
Ben can destroy anyone to be real! 💯 his heart and mind ain’t in it though!
And I’m not even a Simmons fan
Gil saying he can easily average 25ppg just shows and tell u that this era is too easy.
