steven a said wow😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Guy has mental, physical and emotional issues and the media is mad he isn’t instantly fixed.
You have players on every team sitting at the end of the bench praying for time and opportunity. They make no money and get no respect. But Ben gets the contract because he's Ben. Not because of what he actually produces. You can take any other player in the league (even the G league) and they will give you 110% more than what Ben Simmons is giving you. And they'll be doing it with more passion and for less money. PAY THEM, NOT BEN.
Simmons flat out can NOT play basketball. don’t believe those stats he puts up and call him a balanced player. It’s not hard to get 6-7 rebounds a game when you are playing down on the blocks. His assist numbers are misleading as well because those assists are nothing more than him being afraid to shoot the ball and passing it off to someone who just happens to make the shot. When your main objective is to NEVER shoot and ALWYS pass, of course your assist totals are going to be high.
This is why partially guranteed contracts and incentives go well together
If I was the bk nets I would lowkey get rid of joe Harris and sign carmelo Anthony idk how my fav player not in the league I guarantee he would cost less and make all those open threes Harris b missing there are like three other players I would get rid of
As somebody who has dealt with mental problems related to work, this is not fair. If Ben was healthy wouldn't he at least be average? It's mental stuff. Compassion is the response not hating.
Exactly been saying this for a while. This dude is stealing money and it's gonna cost players of the future in the next cba. Ben Simmons will never get a long term contract in his career again.
Kyrie has never been able to carry a team on his own. other players have. Kryie is good but he's overhyped.
If I'm the owner I would just waive him and eat his contract. He's worse than useless, he's a cancer in the locker room (even worse than Kyrie).
The guy got more fouls than he does points, oh you know he's throwin
He been stealing as far as I'm concerned. And like you said sas… no one is saying how he getting all this money to do some cardio and barely score. He better slow down spending because he'll never get this money again! They can pay me half of that to do cardio and get the same result.
Kyrie is an All star not a superstar
I hope Ben is saving his money, next contract is going to be vet minimum
I’m a casual NBA follower, but a big football fan (soccer) and I’ve seen pathetic characters exactly like Simmons. Once they are set for life, there’s zero intrinsic motivation there anymore, nor any self pride to improve. He’s a waster and a wet noodle mentally.
Ski mask and gloves! 🥷🏾🧤
The Nets got fleeced lol
Seem like he wanted to get ejected.
Is Ben Simmons still an NBA level player ?
So Simmons is not in the running for Rookie of the Year this year? I was sooo hoping for him to be the first ever 2x Rookie of the Year winner!
