To me his free throws are more of an issue.Keeps him from being aggressive and going to the basket I believe.

Fuck dat faggot cuzzo. One of the biggest pussies in the history of professional sports. Shaq said it best about this faggot.
Dude is going to miss a whole season and millions of dollars because his feelings were hurt
Ben might be one of the softest athletes ever
Can't wait until his first game back at Philly once he's traded.

Still not a top ten pg but I think if he fully embraces the Draymond role
And continues to play solid defense
He can help us out tremendously. This is the first time he's played with elite scorers who come off the screen. I expected plenty of fake handoffs to give him a free lane to attack the basket or give our numerous shooters open looks
that young man could be Draymond 3.0
If a coach and an organization can commit to him
but I think he still has to earn that level of trust
He has to PROVE he is focused enough to do it,
But I also stand on my point when I created the thred years ago.
Shooting is important and should be a skill that is constantly developed by a professional.
At bare minimum, he needs to take a few shots or continuously attack the basket. The passivity cannot be his m.o but I'm not expecting anything to change from his Philly days
damn.
bro you REALLY don't think he will be a little more tough a little more aggressive move the ball more?
JUST PLAY MORE?
Not until he's comfortable in humiliation. He's to self conscious to put himself out there to try and to fail
I literally don't understand how everyone he comes into contact with professionally basketball wise are pussies?
How can no one have the balls to tell him to shoot the ball?

They made a doc about him before he he was drafted and in one part he and his family and agent are going to presentations by shoe companies and while the others talked pros and cons this dude said he was going with whoever paid the most.
That’s all I ever needed to know about Ben Simmons.

Kind of related to the Ben Simmons discussion…
Sports culture is fucked up. Sure athletes are overpaid but capitalism is to blame for that, not them. People who enjoy sports should always respect the humanity of athletes and maybe ease the fuck up when piling on someone already subject to a bunch of criticism.
If you “hate” an athlete, the problem is you, not the athlete.
And when we see someone spreading hate, maybe we all have a duty to call them out on it. Even if their words don’t reach the athlete, reducing public acceptance of toxic behavior probably ripples beyond sports into the general culture.

Draymond Green: Ben Simmons is still same player as when he dominated with Sixers, only difference is confidence
Clutch Points: “You’ve seen people lose confidence in their game… Like Ben Simmons… He’s still the same Ben Simmons we watch dominate in Philly. The only difference…

Overpaid?! Oh, you mean compared to me,you and Earl working 9-5s?
Yeah, I see how WE could see it that way. But these "owners,"........ if they can afford to pay their starting five $100 mil a year, the owners aren't making only $100 mil a year....
If anything the owners / athletes and players association should agree to a moratorium on ticket price increases. The TV, licensing, merch ....etc contract deals are adding a lot of $$$ to the collective pot. Lower ticket prices so more "families" can see games and agree not to increase executive's/ management pay to offset.
This part, for as bad as Ben is and the perception of CJ, they don't deserve such public hate and vitriol..... (Ben's high school highlights are wild and for this dude to have abandoned all of that once he made it and to still get deal after deal is wild tho)
When I was saying overpaid in the sense that we don't want to get into who SHOULD get paid WHAT in a capitalistic society.
Of course athletes are not pain any where near the ACTUAL revenue they produce for the owners and he leagues
but the average fan aint trying to hear that.
They the first ones to bring up teachers fireman manual labor etc etc to prove their disingenuous point.
Wow that respect mental health policy sh*t is done at ESPN huh?
@jack walsh13 @REDLINE @4 Dimensional @largebillsonlyplease
Lol. I guess so.
I just told my daughter this morning that society will move forward without or without you regardless of how you feel. You just need to determine if you want to move forward with it or get left behind.
Ben is getting left behind.
Many of my students use mental health as a crutch though. I can only sympathize so much when I got a job to do. And there is only so much I can say other than “I understand.”
At this point, what else can anyone say? I understanding if he was working as a tier 2 customer service rep at AT&T. But we talking about the NBA. I only have little sympathy for those that make it to that level. It might be unfair, but my goodness it’s the NBA.
