He needs to be used like Bam Adebayo, Point center main screen center pick & roll/help defender. Having KD(6’11) & Ben(6’10 isn’t really small ball. Nobody can guard Gianni’s/Embiid or Jokic BUT I give Ben a chance defending anybody else @ the 5
100% agree. But I'd say player comparison wise, Simmons needs to be the best possible version of Draymond. KD needs to teach him how Draymond changed his ways to become better for a team. Not saying Ben can't score more and do a lot more better... But that's even more of my point. If Ben Simmons can be Draymond green X10... I think that's his perfect role.
@@TrendSettrNick Simmons on his worst day (even as a rookie) is a better player than Draymond has ever been. Literally the only thing he lacks is an aggressive scoring mindset and jumpsuit. Other than that he’s the greatest all around player I’ve ever seen.
I think I agree with harden,I mean when he said "he wants to play with guys who will do whatever it takes to win " , I think he was talking about Kyrie not being vaccinated.
Same. It changed my perspective about harden going to the sixers when I heard it's his first choice before Brooklyn. Guy didn't wanna be stuck with someone who only play half a season.
Good points from Shaq. Ben pulled out the "mental health" card. We just hope he used it legitimately (which he might have had mental health issues because of the pressure) but it would've been better with active resolve to get healthier. Because it undermines the struggles people do face.
Ben probably do have mental health problems and he definitely got family problems. His sister accused his brother of molestation and bens very close to his brother. When the accusations came out that’s when Ben started playing worse
@@Thatbul After the accusations came out he took the next game off for mental health issues and immediately after coming back the issues with his FT started up so I have no doubt that played a part in his breakdown in the playoffs
But harden can fake injuries, sit out games ,go to strip clubs instead of be with his team yeah you need help stop. but Shaq needs to grow a pair and shit on Harden for pullign the i am bitch card. He forced himself out of two team but you are in hiding about that
It feels like (and always felt like) the mental health was a strategy but klutch to get Ben out of philly. If that is the case, that’s pretty pitiful. However, if he actually does have mental health issues, I hope he’s okay. But it never felt genuine and still doesn’t now
Shaq right like greek freak they said he wouldnt make his free throws he made all of them in the closing game in the nba finals go ben go harden i like both them guys both go help they teams tremendously
@@judistzoinkiski3395 not saying harden didn't quit only after the vaccination issue. How we forget that Harden played game 6 and 7 last yr against the bucks hurt. Meanwhile Kyrie didn't even give it a go after 3 weeks of rest from a sprained ankle. Everyone just knew of they could make it game 7 that Kyrie would come back and be the Hero. Harden was all in. Didn't quit until the vaccination issue
Ya know I'm frustrated with the lack of transparency on Ben Simmons part. Like You got to speak up at somepoint otherwise yer just a primadonna clown. I'm all for people keeping to their own business but not at the expense of two Basketball organizations. It's shit like this that blurs the line between "Professional" and "Sport" a sport is just a game at the end of the day if you tell me anybody who could refuse to go to work anywhere else for some undiclosed reason at a company... I'd love to see it. Acting like his whole family died in a car crash or he got cancer. Ask for Harden I don't really care. He can go on to the post season and not win another Championship. Long as he's "happy" both these players are straight up bums.
"Mental fortitude" that shaq speaks of is bouncing back and proving all the doubters and haters wrong. Fact is people struggle for different reasons no matter how successful you have been. Sometimes you hit a wall and the best push through it and become stronger.
Wade: "I got to be around Ben this summer and I saw what he was going through mentally." "He seems to be in a better head space mentally." Thats a first hand account.
@@hardsequencer94 Shaq has made his position on Ben Simmons clear. I was actually surprised that Shaq thinks that only homeless people have real mental health issues.
Harden couldn't get it done when he, Durant, and Westbrook were in their prime. He couldn't get it done in Houston with CP3 and Dwight Howard a few years back. Couldn't get it done with Durant and Kyrie. Now he's teamed with Embiid. How many legitimate chances does a player get to win a championship.
Who else do the 76ers have other than Joel, Harden, Thybule, Maxey…?? I’m curious. Where’s the depth. They traded away their back up center and basically the most efficient scorer on their team to get Harden..who’s a free agent this summer…who might likely try to force another trade next season when he doesn’t get that 60M contract. Not to mention if they DO pay an out of prime Harden max it’ll gut their roster. Plus didn’t the Nets also get 2 first round picks out of that trade too? Just don’t see 6ixers making it that far.
I didn`t get that trade either. Sixers played so well when Joel was their only big star and also they had some success this season. With Curry and Drummond Sixers were fun to watch. To me they gave too much on that trade.
Trae Young averaged 29 points and 10 assist in last year's 7 game! playoff series, Trae had his way with baby Ben in front of him so stop saying that cry baby is an elite and a shut down defender. He simply doesn't show up and he's been doing it for 5 years in Philly.
I am going to keep it a buc.....SHAQ said all that needs to be said....is it mental health or mental fortitude? Lots of people going thru real stuff out there man...WITHOUT the multi-million dollar contract...So now its time for dude to show up and show out...
" Mental health has nothing to do with it" Wasn't that the "official" reason why he wasn't playing for the Sixers? I hope the Nets and Raptors meet in the first round. Sixers in the 2nd round if the make it out of Canada.
I'd honestly take my Knicks in their current state (yes I know they're bad) then be dealing with this circus kind of bullshit. I'd never want Harden, Irving or Simmons on my team
Kyrie + Simmons, to me that's just a recipe for disaster. These 2 don't had their 100% focus on a championship, at least not from what we've seen in the past 6 month.
Shaq is the realest. I respect him. This generation runs real quick to pull the "mental health" card. But they don't know real mental health issues like people on skid row. I should know, I work a few blocks away. Weak sauce generation due partly to horrible parenting or no parenting at all.
If 180 million and a chance to win the chip can’t motivate you to practice on your jump shot, nothing will. Brooklyn has a monumental task of trying to shine this lump of coal into a Diamond.
It’s nice to actually hear simmons speak. I hope he succeeds in Brooklyn and plays in that game on 3/10🍿
Also Tmac on inside the nba now?! Legit
Tmac looking pretty fly in that jacket too.
Lllllllllloolll
He ain't gonna play in that game
Shaq is speaking BIG facts

Ben can’t guard the 5 coming from a Sixers fan

Yes I'm sick of cp she needs to do something for the women! WNBA
@@markwhite2709 who hurt you lol
T-Mac is always welcome 🙏
Two many ppl for the short segment.
I’m glad to see T-Mac on inside the nba, he will have more personality and freedom than he did at ESPN

Same it changed my perspective but I'm not going to comment twice
if Harden believed in "whatever is takes to win", he'd lose weight and at least try to play defense.
@@Release-Topic-b4d 😆
t mac, dwade, shaq, a cool crew
You would be surprised how a change of scenery can make a difference. Good luck Ben 10. I believe he will prove all the doubters wrong
With Shaq on everything!
Could not have said it better than Shaq!!
Shaq is the understandable meme for a reason
Dude knows how to enjoy life and being approachable

Shaq was on point.
Big Shaq 💙
Talk about mental health. Shaq lost family members and lost Kobe in a short timespan and this man got up and kept going back to work!
Ben Simmons did not have mental health bro. He faked it because he did not want to be part of the team
Win for both teams but Brooklyn about to be a problem the next few years! NBA pretty balanced now fun to watch!!
Shaq right like greek freak they said he wouldnt make his free throws he made all of them in the closing game in the nba finals go ben go harden i like both them guys both go help they teams tremendously
Simmons is arguably the greatest three point shot creator in the nba his fit on the nets is immaculate
Shaq never heard it from a coach and teammates publicly.
Pat riley and shaq beef was publicly known, shaq and pat almost fought, shaq threw haslem (who's trying to break the fight) like a sack of potato
Shaq is spot on. Key thing Harden said was willing to do whatever it takes to win. Meaning getting vaccinated. Not that the Nets didn't want to win.
Harden quit on the team how does you sheeple not see that.
@@judistzoinkiski3395 So did Ben Simmons, how come Sheep’s like you not get that much. Time will tell with the trade.

@@virajpatel3865 The Sixers (especially Joel Embiid) quit on Ben Simmons, not the other way around.
Oh shi y’all got T-Mac? Nice!
Harden you disappeared in every playoffs
I think he needs to be a Draymon type player, he can the their defensive anchor and play make
Well he is young and big he will grow and probably bulk up. Have him play all big positions. Lol. He can drive he will need to work a shot.

Shaq you can’t trash Ben Simmons and not have the same energy for a man who quit on 2 teams in less than a year
Shots fired everywhere
Ironically not from ben
It’s not my mental health. It was a lot of personal things in my life I don’t want to get into. That’s literally mental health.
"Mental fortitude" that shaq speaks of is bouncing back and proving all the doubters and haters wrong. Fact is people struggle for different reasons no matter how successful you have been. Sometimes you hit a wall and the best push through it and become stronger.
T mac is a great addition
I honestly had no clue that was McGrady!! Respect to the legend 🙏🏾 🙌🏽

I'm a little surprised Shaq told Ben to suck it up when Wade basically said that the kid has been suffering ... D Wade a little more enlightened!

Ben still simppin
He lying so hard he cant even speak without stumbling over his words 💀
Simmons is a formidable upgrade when it comes to running point. Kyrie won't need the crossover.
Shaq is the best. If he wasnt born in the US, he’d be a President in some country. Gentle wise giant.

He was faking it bc now hes magicaly better on the nets
Suck it up, butter cup...
Shaq to Ben Simmoms
It doesn't matter the fit, you trade a zero away and get a zero back in hope the one you get will turn out to have at least some value.
Miss TMac on ESPN
Damn Ben Simmons is gorgeous good on the Nets for getting him
Feels weird seeing all them dressed up in their nice clothes with just seeing sneakers on (prob expensive sneakers though)
Can't wait to see Ben play 76ers. He must play like his life depends on it...
Why T Mac been gone so long? Miss ya T
KD will be back right after the all star game. What is that guy talking about when he says “foreseeable future”?
I hear you shaq but he had the whole world blaming him I’m no where near that weak mind but some people are.
He needs to actually play at this point. Enough bs, suck it up and help the team. He's not injured, so get on the court.
I'd honestly take my Knicks in their current state (yes I know they're bad) then be dealing with this circus kind of bullshit. I'd never want Harden, Irving or Simmons on my team
Your wish has been granted!😆
Lol. By James’ own admission he doesn’t want to be around himself. He’ll bounce around until well past his prime and then have an epiphany…
💡
🧠
Does this mean KD picked Kyrie over Harden?
Maybe.
Bruh Thelonious Mac came out swinging
Tracy be looking like Steve urkel
At least he is with Kevin Durant
The main problem is Kyrie and Nash, they must go
LEFTYKILLA🏀🔥💪🏽PHILLY
... like the air ball?
Kyrie + Simmons, to me that's just a recipe for disaster. These 2 don't had their 100% focus on a championship, at least not from what we've seen in the past 6 month.
Tmac is finally back
Mono tone crew. 😂😂😂 where are the upbeat personalities
I thought the reason he couldn't play was mental health??
love listening to tmac
kyrie will make sure James harden touch the earth, mark my words

Nets have 2 emotional lesbians he’ll fit right in lol

Weak ass moves on both players and sadly this is typical 2022 NBA behavior.

Lol the bum said im ready but not mentally ready, Nets really are a cupcake team lol.
Shaq fails to understand he didn't play during the Twitter era so comparing what he heard to what Ben heard isn't comparable
Agreed
After Nets and PHI game... Nets win this trade for sure.
All Ben could do is atleast to apologise to his Sixers fan 🤷🏽♂️
Championship
