The title should be "Ben Simmons Forgot How Good he Is!"
probably the most fair assessment...his own worse enemy
Was??
He was always overrated
The guy can do so much when he is happy, healthy and confident. Can't wait to see him doing all these in Brooklyn this season.
Hahahah he'll stop getting happy when KD shouts at him to shoot his free throws. 🤣🤣🤣
honestly, hes not bad. I feel like people hate on him so much so it makes him kinda nervous but yeah i hope he does well this season.
How’s Ben working out so far this season 😂😂
How long are you going to wait?
😂😂😂😂😂😂 This comment made my day. Are you still waiting or you just stopped caring?
Everybody acting like this man wasnt destroying their favorite team before that final game against the hawks. If he went for the dunk and they advance no one would've said a thing about him not shooting.
Nah his lack of shooting is why Sixers lost their first playoff in TO. He was a liability on the court his entire last year in Philly. Yall just aren't tapped into to the Sixers so you think it was all that one pass.. it wasn't.
@@chrisflproductions the fact that his lack of shooting still took them that far in itself proves that it wasnt a big deal until that one moment, even trae young said himself he thought Simmons was going for it. So you can hate on the man and criticizing him for not shooting but the man brought everything else to the table and the league knew what he was coming into the league, and the teams that passed on him still was getting dominated by him. In the end it was his mind that kept him from ending the hawks not him shooting So stop
@@MunchOnDeezNutz
It wasn't even a big deal, Embiid missed a jump hook and thybull fouled a 3 point shooter, ben simmons got 2 steals and put the clamps on trae young
As a Celtics fan, I've only really watched Simmons when he's played the Celtics and that's why I don't get what the big deal is. He's certainly never destroyed the Celtics. He's played the Celtics fairly often too, being in division and including playoffs matchups, although twice he's been inactive as his team got swept.
@@michaelvielhaber9342 what are you getting too exactly??
That block against the Blazers is so underrated. Simmons tells Maxey to stay on Dame, knowing he has Simons, then proceeds to get the blocks, such a high IQ play
Crazy thing about the criticism of Ben is that in this Era of 30ft 3s he's villafied but in any other Era he would just get praise
No
draymond green:what?
Forget the 3, he's not attempting jumpshots period. That's a problem in any era.
@@217ShowOffBoii in the 80s and 90s a PF was supposed to be near the rim ...Barkley ,Kemp,Larry Johnson, etc look at there highlights all of them are near the rim
If he had at least a decent mid-range shot. All shots you can see from him are layups and dunks
Did we 🤣 Mans tryna get that check with these highlights 🤣
I aint mad at ya Max!
this man is so talented. people really forgot how good ben simmons is. he’ll be good in brooklyn. he just needs that confidence and aggressiveness.
He need to work on that I still believe in him
I'm low key excited for the nets this season. Kyrie gonna play like he always do, KD boutta have a revenge season, and Simmons gonna show us all what he can do. That or they all play bad and nothing happens.
🤣
I can't see how Ben fits in...he b ball handling or kyrie, maybe wen kyrie decides to sit out 1/2 season that's his value to the nets till KD leaves next year
"kyrie gonna play like he always do"
@@alexnguyen1284 I meant how KD and kyrie choked against the Celtics and got a lot of hate for it. I guess we will see what happens
@@alexnguyen1284 why you gotta hate lol
If a player makes it to the all NBA and all defensive team in a single season he's definitely elite and people seem to forget about this cause of the recency bias
(Ben also was 2nd in dpoy that season)
Don't care he needs a jumpshot
@@RavensFan24 nobody asked you
Phily fan here. I hope Nets fans prepare for the frustration of waiting for this guys to do something.
As a NETS fan and NBA fan, I’m rooting for Simmons. I hope he’s able to block out the noise and ball out this year.
We didn’t forget bro…we know how good he can actually be if he just stop being afraid of the moment. Look at Giannis for example, he has flaws but he isn’t afraid to showcase em in the game which is why he has all the accolades he has now. People just love to coddle Simmons without actually telling him the real truth which is why he’s been the same player since his rookie year.
Doc Rivers was the telling the whole world “I dont want him to shoot he doesnt need to shoot” 🤣
@@benjamin-qn7nf Like we ain’t telling him to be Klay Thompson out there, just try lol
@@benjamin-qn7nf that was Steve Nash
@@shawswervoo how you know he didn't try
Ben has some accolades as well
The high quality of clips you use is 2nd to none, well done man. Seeing them in hd with a high bitrate makes a huge difference
If he could only shoot. But if he plays with the Nets his lack of shooting would not be an issue for the most part. He is a keeper! Keep him in Brooklyn!
Notice how a lot of these explosive plays that he takes all the way are without Joel on the floor? Can't wait to see what he does in an offense that fits his playstyle and needs, cause we never gave him that in Philly
It's hard to tell if he is left or right-handed. He is a really good player. Very naturally talented.
Hope he gets his confidence back and starts playing passionately.
EDIT: I can say he is naturally right-handed, the way he attacks the rim and putbacks, the way he move etc etc. But he can pass, dunk, dribble in elite level with his left hand as well. And he shoots with his left but ain't that good.
Totally agree. Ben Simmons needs to put his emotions away and work on his mid-range jump shot and postup moves + he needs to start shooting with his right hand more - clearly he's right-handed by nature.
He’s ambidextrous he can use either
@@DungarooAdventures a mid range shot would be cool but all he really needs to work on is his free throws he can get to the rim whenever he wants just gotta knock them down when he gets fouled and he’ll easily be a 20+ ppg scorer
@@DungarooAdventures and don’t u think if the man was truly right handed he’d shoot with his right hand ? It’s funny to me how u guys think he’d purposely shoot with the wrong hand he’s just good at finishing with either hand that’s all he’s left handed
If he could shoot he’d probably be one of the best players all time already lol
Bro forgot how good he is. feel like he can still play at this level still in shape his only enemy is himself.
This is all he needs to do with the nets. They should have a good season.
Exactly 😈 people fail to realize yes we got swept by the Celtics but we didn’t have this man or Harris and a half of Seth.
We still only lost those 4 games by 1-6 points.
Even with the COVID mandates, KD injury, harden trade yet we still made the playoffs and barely lost those games.
These guys will have a revenge season!! They all have a chip on their shoulders.
Revenge season 😂
They could win the East if he had heart
Lol
It's weird seeing all these standing ovations. Everyone told me that Philly fans hated Simmons.
These are from over the years..they won’t show you how many times he’s been booed for being overly passive
So basically the man was Jokic and Giannas put together with lebron jumper and taunts😭
I always wonder what impact would winning the DPOY in 2021 season would've had on Ben's mentality and attitude. Maybe he would've tried to work hard on his jump shot and 76ers would not have lost that Atlanta series?
So he's the blame the whole series
His jumpshot wasn’t even the problem he just needed to work on his FTs
@@EazzyE003 He was also painfully passive in general. Dude barely even looked at the basket.
that wasn't gonna stop Embiid from shooting below 40% from the field
@@SolusFather Embiid was playing with a torn meniscus
When Ben is aggressive he is a top 10 player in the league. He’s amazing.
yah when he wants to be aggressive that is the real question
everybody has good games, being a top 10 player isn't about having a good game here and then its about being consistent
@@coo3ies266 he was a 3rd team all-nba like 3 years ago. He’s capable
@@bennybrook4883 "was"
as a happy sixers fan right now , i still have my sixers simmons jersey in the closet. He's too good to not be playing , hes bouta have a comeback season!
🤡🤡🤡
Simmons should play Point Forward or Point Center like Jokic. He just needs to rebuild his confidence back. And keep practicing his shots, I can see a future MVP right there.
WOW! This is perfect! I love it!
Once he puts all of his game together 🔥🔥
which is never
people used to say he was the new lebron , so crazy man
As a Sixers fan, I never hated him. In fact I was one of his biggest fans. Still want him to succeed. The last season he played he was just off the second half of the season. He wasn’t playing aggressive like he usually does and he seemed distracted/disinterested. The mental health aspect made so much sense when he brought it up. I’m hoping he’s good now cuz he can be a top 15 player or better if he gets his mind right. He has all the talent in the world.
Can’t wait 🖤🤍
Dude has mad skills...
Im excited to see him play again this season
Ben underrated asf he def got his off court issues but still hes an amazing player he can do damn near everything other then shoot
Can't wait to see the kid out there again. One of my favorite players. 💪🏿😤
I remember being in basic training when the trade happened and I was so happy
One thing I noticed is 95% of these plays were when the 76ers were up 10+. No jumper and nothing in the clutch is his biggest weakness
My favorite player
Ben Simmons needs to come back strong this coming season and take earn his place among the top 5 players of the league
Can’t wait for him to play with KD and Kyrie
Hyped!!!
From the neck down he is absolutely Elite.
we didnt forget we just know what he is
A must watch team this upcoming season hopefully a healthy season for the.
them*
Underrated point guard that can do everything on the both ends of the floor
nah bruh
@@chrishandsome4267 I didn't ask you.... Bruh
Underrated ? Sure but he could be soo much better if he decided to work on his game & stop being afraid to fail.
@@shawswervoo maybe he is...... Or people who never play basketball should stop saying what he needs to do and let him figure it out
@@darkgable85 Well said
Nets will be so scary with a healthy simmons, 6”10 with that kind of skills and he’s fast for 6”10 , can dribble and fast with fast hands and eyes and very athletic and a good finisher, i hope he can play this season already. With the right mindset he can be an all time great and the only weakness of his is his jumpshot/shooting ability. He’s almost complete with that height and upper body strength, just wow! Get well soon simmons
Love Ben!
Ben Simmons mentality will never be here again. This version of Simmons is gone.
We're all over the age of 3 so who doesn't remember his game? I also remember how easy he is to shut down in the post season.
title should be "Ben Simmons Forgot How GOOD Ben Simmons Is!"
We didn’t forgot about Ben Simmons, Ben Simmons forgot about Ben Simmons …
my fave player
He'll be back
Its just crazy how skilled he is at his height bro just shoot the ball.
Simmons 2018 played different that time especially playoffs against Miami
When Ben was on the 76ers Philly would be up by a thousand but in the playoffs they couldn’t convert I think they needed a veteran to push them motivate them hold them accountable nets need a vocal leader to get the most out the team, had Rondo not gone through his personal issues I’d say trade for him
The sad thing is is that no one forgot. Us makes us frustrated with him because we know how talented he is
He’s starting 2 play like this again.
Good video
this aged badly
We didn't forget HE did!🤣🤣🤣
Him getting finals MVP would silence the noise for good
i guess the noise aint silencing ever
By and large these highlights come in transition, where Ben feasts. Ben even attacks the lane off a cross or Euro in the half court often off a running start from the top of the key. When teams stack the lane with long defenders in a 2-3 zone, Ben's effectiveness diminishes because his midrange and long range game never fully developed and because the defense's length slows down his passing game). Ben still feasts most of the the time though, because teams that are long, defensively committed and disciplined are few and far between: Miami, Toronto, Milwaukee, maybe Boston.
Teams can’t stack the lane with Kyrie, KD, Joe Harris, Seth Curry, Mills, TJ Warren, O’Neal, Cam Thomas spreading the floor. Ben shall feast!
He's good when he wants to be
🔥🔥
He might’ve forgot honestly 😭
make a coby white mixtape plis🙌🙌 this my favorite players 💪💯
Kyrie Irving & Ben Simmons officially BFF now 😂🤣😂🤣
Mr. Coast 2 Coast I’m ngl Simmons still one of my fav players regardless because we’ve seen other star players act like divas too . let my ninja get out this hump get himself a hype man we got hella rappers out here make this dude a theme song like that scottie pippen track on 2k and he will have no choice but to follow suit too much talent we believe in you!!!
THE FRESH PRINCE 🤴
any playoff highlights?
The thread title amounts to other -level irony as Ben Simmons is more afraid today of taking an open jumper, and taking much shorter players to the rim, than he was yesterday
Does anyone remember when he wanted to work out in the off-season with Magic Johnson and the Sixers said NO! (Sixers mistake).
Also, to bad Kobe's not around now because i think he would have loved working with Ben.
And Ben would have listened.
Kobe hated 2 things..not having the right mentality and having a lack of work ethic.
Ben 10 redemption tour
Brooklyn Nets going 2 be a 🖐🏾 full.
Nobody forgot except Ben, he just doesn’t have “IT”
Great Defender, Playmaker and Finisher his actual skill is often shadowed by that one play against the Hawks. Pretty much defining him as a bad player nowadays.
I can tell you as a Sixer fan..that is nowhere near true lol…that has been happening since his draft day but the world just now caught up with how defenses can weaponize his passiveness
Yeah everyone did!
We didn't forget, he's very good...but at the same time, we know what he is
Nah y’all forgot, many people and fans calling him trash like he isn’t a multiple time all star and all-nba
@@SolusFather he gets criticized so much because everybody knows what he can be. He just needs to step up.
@@johncruzz5326 except its not even criticism. People were really calling him trash and even questing his placement in the NBA
The problem is not his talent ,it's his head !"" We knew he could ball ,he just not motivated to get better !" Hope he puts it together in Jersey!""
simmons just need to play like this. he doesnt needto score alot. KD and kyrie is there to provide that. all he needs to do is defense and he just need to hit FT at 85% to avoid hack-a-ben and his good to go.
Ya'll forgot. I'm telling you, forget all that "won't shoot" shit. This man is for real.
This aged like milk
It just annoys me that he's OBVIOUSLY right-handed, but insists on "working on" his left handed jumpshot.
Ben Simmons forgot how good he is
If he plays the 5, he will revolutionise the modern day point centre role forever.
There already is a point center in the league he is a 2 time MVP and his name is nikola jokic.
@@hajeelopez5653 different type. Joker is a great passing big. Simmons is transitional freight train who can guard 1-5 while creating open threes for guys around him like no one else in the nba.
@@robdoms45123 we never seen a big like joker we seen Ben Simmons a couple times magic, lebron, Giannis
@@hajeelopez5653 Do those three players play 5 full time? I’m talking about revolutionising the 5 with an atheistic guy who can run not lumber across the court, can’t defend at an elite level and happens to be a good passer.
@@robdoms45123 Ben has never played the 5 and he never will this isn’t 2k bro u sound delusional thinking Ben could play the 5 and guard Joel embid or joker, Ben can’t even guard giannis
If Ben Simmons was as good as I am with Ben Simmons in NBA 2K, nobody would be complaining. I went 5 for 7 from 3 point range in two playoff games with him.
nobody Forgot , bro-bro.💀
we didn't forget. he's an offensive liablity
Nah bruh
@@darkgable85 on the 76ers he was.
@@strongbone9471 then you're blind... You didn't see all the highlights
He's left handed...for a guy to be 6"10 and being able to handle the ball and pass like that is rare... yeah he's a great player
Dawg!
If you've watched Bruce Brown on the Nets then you know there's a clear path for Ben to be great on this team. He's still a 3x All Star and All NBA player. Not like he's ever been bad. Just didn't meet expectations. Those are 2 different things.
Exactly. Lets give every NBA player the label "The next LeBron James" How many live up to the comparison? Poor kid.
@@4kdefinition70 Lol not only Lebron but Magic as well. They hype them up just to call them trash or a bust.
Simmons was just in wrong system his whole career...He needed to be on a team not dominated by a Center and half court offense...he needs run and have a team of versatile perimater shoooters and cutters to pass too...Him and Embiid never meshed...only by pure talent those 2 had they got to playoffs every year they played together...Simmons west coast offense guy and Embiid is half court guy simiilar to shag and kobe days....except his Kobe is a broken old Harden..Simmons best games were when Embiid was hurt and sat out
@@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet bros still gonna be garbage. I dont see what you people dont get about it, he doesn't want to improve his game and its going to be even worse on a team with KD where your other superstar player aka kyrie wont play more than 20 games. Simmons is going to have more pressure on him then hes ever had
@@DuhShazey how are u calling any player in the NBA garbage? Let alone a 4 time all star and all-nba. I just don’t understand how u still feel intelligent after saying that. Or maybe you don’t.
Nobody is doubting is skill and potential. It’s his mental that sucks. Once he overcomes that and at least attempts to shoot midrange he’d elevate
As a sixers fan....enjoy 😉
From the comments, especially given the players Ben will be surrounded by with the Nets seemed like most of y’all actually did forget how good Ben Simmons is.
Nah sounds more like some of yall never watched him play ball. He scored 2 points in a playoff game. What kind of elite player does that? He also had a 4pt playoff game, 8 pt... he literally had the worst playoff performance I've ever seen
@@chrisflproductions all players have bad games and series, before Jordan got past the Pistons finally even he had awful playoff performances (not comparing Ben to MJ that would be absurd). Plus Ben is the kind of player that can’t shine and just play with anyone he needs certain kinds of players surrounding him in order to do that and look his best. He now has that.
It’s almost like the Nets designed this team for Ben, not for KD or Kyrie.
@@gelliosmith1631 I hear you bro and i acknowledge I may turn out to be wrong, but I highly doubt it. People seem to forget that Ben had JJ Reddick dropping 3s. He played along side Seth. He had Tobias who can score from anywhere when he's playing good. And he had one of the greatest centers of all time. I don't what's so different about this Nets team.
@@gelliosmith1631 and you can't write off both Ben's playoff performances as " all players have bad games ". Ben scored 2 pts in a playoff game dog... there's no excuse in the world that will make that acceptable in my mind.
It’s kinda messed up how Philly blamed it all on Simmons for losing the series against the hawks
this new league doesn't call fouls. he's good
How can you attack the basket with either hand but can't develop any kind of free throw with neither?
Ben and Cam is two guys the organization needs to focus on. Ben needs shooters and defenders to surround him. Cam needs to work on his defense and vision. I just saw a little Kyrie in Cam that's why i want him to stay and work with the young guy some more. I think Sean Mark got a good plan going.
That PETA protestor logged more minutes than Simmons did last year
As a Sixers fan all I can say is Ben Simmons is actually nasty af. Social media and the media make it seem like this dude is a bum just because he doesn’t shoot… HE DOESNT HAVE TO SHOOT. He does everything else tremendously on the basketball court. He can get to the basket, he has great vision, he is a top 3 defender in the nba, and he is a great rebounder. Anyone that says Simmons isn’t good doesn’t know basketball
Out of all those clips, only about 6 were in the 4th qtr. Dude is a no show in crunch time, he should do ok being a 3rd option now
