2:27 Simmons is a genius before in the game he used the between the legs dribble trick to move Lebron away from the shooter training on his side then he used the same trick later and Lebron recognized it and tried to run to the shooter, Simmons recognized that and drove to the basket, haters can say what they want
FACTS they had so many reliable role players around Simmons and embiid that year. they came up short against Boston cause they weren’t ready to put it all together just yet
Simmons thrives when the Sixers run small ball. He dropped 42 on Gobert earlier this year. Embiid didn’t play in this game (2018), nor the game in Utah (2021). Something tells me he doesn’t want to stay with Philly while Embiid’s there.
@@nigelthompson8143 Ben is basically a 6´10 super athletic Draymond Green, if he had players like Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Pool ect, basically a teams of elite shooters he would average a triple double while being a DPOY level player at the same time. And if he could improve his shooting, and especially his mental because you can see the guy fold when he feel just a bit of pressure, then he could potentially become as good or even better than Lebron, and im a Lebron fan but the kid almost have the same size, just a bit taller but lighter and more lenghty, and he is slower than young Lebron but defensively he is just better and this isn’t because of his size and speed, he is like a 6´10 Caruso, elite body control/balance and anticipation skill, he is easily the best 1 vs 1 defender right now and could be the best defender of all time
My young boy DOMINATED tonight in a big game!! If y'all even dream of someone else winning ROTY, you better wake up and apologize. Shout out to all my fellow Sixers fans!! #TrustTheProcess #Patiencepaysoff
If the standings hold, the 76ers’ path to the playoffs will be Miami in round 1 (W), Boston in round 2 (Easy W), and against the Cavs, *with home court* in the Conference Finals Ben really out here trying to win a ring his rookie year like Magic👀
Like MJ, Lebron wont really pass the torch until he retires (wizards MJ didn’t exist). I was talking about the *game* that will be remembered as the moment when power started to shift Like when MJ had 36 and Kobe had 33 and MJ shared some tips with him during the game because he knew that Kobe was the next Face of the League
@Jeff Amsdell This was when we had floor spacing on our team where Simmons had plenty of room to work in the paint. Besides his shooting which I may mention is improving, Simmons is an above average rebounder, incredible playmaker, elite defender, and has an exceptional IQ. Giannis didn't take two seasons to become an all-star or a decent shooter. Simmons' FT percentage is increasing and he is using the fade and the pull-up jumper more. Give him time but he will get there. For now, we have to surround him with floor spacers like Covington, sign some more veteran leadership, and give more minutes to better shooters like Korkmaz, Milton, and Thybulle.
I remember right after this game everyone was talking about how this was the game where Lebron passed the torch to Ben simmons. Now he's a shanghai shark
squashed8Ball, lol...good one...flying on planes and watching game film also makes him not a rookie! I have done those things all my life so I would not be a rookie either...I have more NBA experience than Simmons because I spend long hours watching film and also much more time flying on airplanes ;)
nicksixer In all seriousness though. It’s in the interests of a lot of those who have voting privileges to support Mitchell over Simmons because it helps their ratings by favouring the home town boy.
well Squashed I would not be at all surprised if Mitchell gets the nod here...same thing happened to Dario Saric when they picked what's his name from the Bucks I think. The League hates "the Process" and will attempt to diminish or disparage it any chance they get.
Stabilizin that’s not how that works buddy lol. They beat a healthy Cavs team without their best player. Whether it was by 30 or 2 it doesn’t hurt them
I feel like, once Simmons explodes at his new club and plays really well, 76ers will regret selling him cheaply. The guy can ball, shouldn't have given up on him so publically. Despite CP3's chokes, Booker never bagged him out in front of media. Lesson to learn there.
This is why you build a team around your stars weaknesses and not around their strengths. This team was the best to have Ben in as he had shooters all around him so he could concentrate on his strengths
7:26 I mean look at this…cross court pass with one hand on time and perfectly on target. dudes got so much talent but it only works when he’s being aggressive
Well we are without George Hill and Jose Calderon our 2 main point Guards and Hood left early with an achilles injury so healthy wouldn't exactly be the word.
4 years later we are still saying if only this guy improves his jumpshot and midrange he will be among the greats. If he does there would not be a force like him ever seen and as complete a player as we’ve ever seen. But that is a big IF.
Are you just going to ignore that his terrible first half is what caused him to "almost" pull off a 30 point comeback?? And he lost either way so any point you were trying to make is mute.
Lebron is straight up Amazing even tho they lost. This man is special and I know if he retires , the NBA rating is going down till we can see someone as dominant as him. Wooooow! almost pull a 30pts deficit comeback
sixers messed up choosing embiid over ben . sure embiid might be better but the team comp was there for ben, something u dont get easily on another new team.
The Philadelphia 76ers need to stay away from LeBron James! Everyone talks about how LeBron would be a great fit for the 76ers and he would be able to compete with the Golden State Warriors with that team and while all of that is true, it would be a bad move for the 76ers. Once LeBron joins the team it will be all about him, the whole system changes and coaching becomes redundant. It is a short term fix that would ruin the team the second he leaves. To make matters worse you already have a player that plays like LeBron in Ben Simmons. By adding Bron you stunt the development of Simmons, Fultz and Saric as they all have to let LeBron run the offense and dominate possessions. What's the point in signing LeBron and being great for 3-4 years when the 76ers could have their own dynasty for many more years to come. They tanked for all these years and have now compiled a bucket full of great talent, why would you want to throw it all away for a short term fix? With all the cap space they have available, they should sign a player that would compliment Simmons and Embiid. Paul George would be that player.
Philadelphia actually has a great team. They have a knock down three point shooter, two great team captains, a star big man, a great rebounding forward and scoring ability all around. What they need is defense.
Well done Philly, I see the only difference between Lebron and Ben is the 3point shot! When you look at both styles of play they are almost identical, I can't wait for the playoffs
People forget Lebron didn't have a consistent 3 pointer until like 7 years in his career. It took him like 3 years to just get the mid range down consistently. People overrate jump shooting, you can still dominate without it, but it's nice to have as a complementary bonus to your strengths.
His confidence was crazy high, you can see it in his play. He's not having fun now, but it's sad to see little improvement on the offensive end. 😕
All the bullying got to him. Sad to see
@@ldgldg1257Ok that was cringe
Ben played with such confidence. I hope he gets the motivation he needs and comes back playing like this again.
2:27 Simmons is a genius before in the game he used the between the legs dribble trick to move Lebron away from the shooter training on his side then he used the same trick later and Lebron recognized it and tried to run to the shooter, Simmons recognized that and drove to the basket, haters can say what they want

He can bring this Ben back

surreal seeing this squad again. with ilyasova, bellinelli, jj, tj, richaun, dario, roco. crazy times
One of the best games I've ever seen in person
Ben got paid and said I’m good on reaching my full potential I’m cool with coming off bench as a role player
This the best game he ever played.
Ben also had 4 steals and 1 block
And this is without me, watch out NBA we coming. #TTP
Crazy to see this.. I believe Ben can become this player again
God this team was perfect for ben. Dreaming of having all those shooters in 2020
haha cray that it was so much better
😔 His Sixers Career is most likely done
@@dillonscully4294 really is sad, but I don’t know what more the sixers can do
This aged perfectly, he now has a bunch of shooters on the nets
@@JadensWisdom pain😭 I was hoping it would happen with Philly
Simmons thrives when the Sixers run small ball. He dropped 42 on Gobert earlier this year. Embiid didn’t play in this game (2018), nor the game in Utah (2021). Something tells me he doesn’t want to stay with Philly while Embiid’s there.
I wouldn't say that bro it's just spacing an play type
Yeah cause his best games comes when Embid doesn't play. That's when he's really aggressive on both ends

1:30 is seriously one of the best moments of the process era
Who is watching this video after sixers was beaten by hawks 2021?
Watching LeBron play Ben Simmons is like watching Wolverine fight his younger clone in the Logan movie.
I can hear it now.... "it aint nothing, skeeeeiiup!"
Legendary duel. Classic teacher and student duel. Something like kobe and MJ.
If only that was still the case
@@CP0rings33 ben Simmons prime
was his rookie season
It is so sad to see how good Simmons was after hawks victory......

Ben really out here trying to win a ring his rookie year like Magic👀
sixers would have homecourt, they are the 3rd while cavs are 4th
Jonathan Matias yea that’s what I meant
Derrick Likes NBA thats the reason why cavs lose to philly, lebron doesn't want to batlle miami on the 1st round
yeah cuz the pacers are alot easier...
Maybe he just dont want to win over his friend wade. Specially its the last season of wade

This was the Official passing of the torch game. We’ll remember this 20+ years from now in the same way we remember Kobe’s first duel against MJ
Passing of the torch? Lebron had 44 11 11 lol the only thing hes passing is the ball to get them assists
Like MJ, Lebron wont really pass the torch until he retires (wizards MJ didn’t exist).
I was talking about the *game* that will be remembered as the moment when power started to shift
Like when MJ had 36 and Kobe had 33 and MJ shared some tips with him during the game because he knew that Kobe was the next Face of the League
hi
Kobe has 5 rings
hi
Ok but you can say Lebron should only have 1 ring. One courtesy of a Ray Allen 3 and one courtesy of a Draymond Green suspension
hi If you don’t like Kobe or Lebron, who do you even like lol
Ben Simmons is going to be a major force.
@Jeff Amsdell This was when we had floor spacing on our team where Simmons had plenty of room to work in the paint. Besides his shooting which I may mention is improving, Simmons is an above average rebounder, incredible playmaker, elite defender, and has an exceptional IQ.

Give him time but he will get there. For now, we have to surround him with floor spacers like Covington, sign some more veteran leadership, and give more minutes to better shooters like Korkmaz, Milton, and Thybulle.
You sure???
this didn't aged well
Lmao damn
Yikes
King vs Prince
That was a good duel, these two are great, LBJ is a living legend , Simmons is the bright future
so uh...
@@istiahmad3365 about that
I remember right after this game everyone was talking about how this was the game where Lebron passed the torch to Ben simmons. Now he's a shanghai shark

What happened to this guy 😟
And that's the end of the ROTY debate.
the Jazz homers will still say Mitchell deserves roty because he chucks more shots and 3s...pretty silly argument

But it would be a great experience for them, considering their best players is young
They were down 30. Im not gonna give em shit for losing by 2.

no embiid tho

GTFO Andy
I thought Simmons was for sure the next LeBron now I can’t see that ever happening... that team was nearly perfect fit for him that year!!!
Its ok that the sixers blew their lead they are still a young team and they will learn a whole lot of new thing when they become older
Nice try But nope, Sixers would suck balls without Beli!

lebron vs the future lebron
nice joke...
Jerry Sheng Ben Simmons is literally the modern Magic Johnson
Lakers Dynasty Yeah. He is closer to Magic than Lebron. Lebron is way more of a scorer.
He averaged 17 points his rookie season. I can see him being a 25 point per game around 10 assist guy at some point.
Rashad Beckham averaged 8,1 8,2 15,8 and he is 22 lebron at 22 did 7,0 6,6 31,4...
I feel like, once Simmons explodes at his new club and plays really well, 76ers will regret selling him cheaply.
The guy can ball, shouldn't have given up on him so publically.
Despite CP3's chokes, Booker never bagged him out in front of media. Lesson to learn there.
It's been 5 years. He's had his chances. My last straw was at 34% from free-throw line. God awful. I almost puked
The Sixers are literally not selling him cheaply have you not been paying attention at all?
5:46 that stare down 👀
this man ben simmons is amazing how he can match up against lebron. and how fun he is to watcch
He was literally a jump shot away
so weird seeing a full arena now
This is why you build a team around your stars weaknesses and not around their strengths. This team was the best to have Ben in as he had shooters all around him so he could concentrate on his strengths
9:16 K-Love with the post dunk wobble. 😂
Bruh and the fact Simmons wasn't a allstar...smh ROTY EASILY NOW PASSING OF TORCH
Next year bro
LCJ MadeintheA nope. He is the future, but as of right now Simmons cannot do what LeBron can. Needs more experience. Torch stays with LeBron for now
Ben Simmons will rule this league
Yeah bro
This did not age well…
Now you clowns hate ben Simmons because the sports media told you to, you guys will believe and say anything you're told, SMH
I remember how terrible those cavs’ defence was. Every time they literally let Simmons score, they looked at LeBron like “damn that’s crazy🥱”
7:26 I mean look at this…cross court pass with one hand on time and perfectly on target. dudes got so much talent but it only works when he’s being aggressive
Two favorite players of all time goin at it! This was an iconic duel!!
I also miss this sixers bench so much..
i just hope no warriors fans have the audacity to talk smack and getting blown out by the pacers yesterday lmao
Attention Currsexuals Did Curry Play... Nope!, Healthy Cavs team lost to an Embiid-less Sixers team...... And I hate the Warriors
Manu GOATbili lol "healthy" cavs dont have a true pg either all of theirs are injured
Manu GOATbili Had 3 All-Stars...
Well we are without George Hill and Jose Calderon our 2 main point Guards and Hood left early with an achilles injury so healthy wouldn't exactly be the word.

Just backwards
Ben's pass at 7:30 is a hard ass pass to make. This man is a monster!
Ben Simmons was being called the next Magic Johnson by almost every NBA reporter, now these days he's become the next Michael Olowokandi.
Now imagine Joel Embiid instead of Amir Johnson, especially down the stretch. I'm a LeBron James fan and recognize the Cavs are in trouble.
4 years later we are still saying if only this guy improves his jumpshot and midrange he will be among the greats. If he does there would not be a force like him ever seen and as complete a player as we’ve ever seen. But that is a big IF.
i’ve noticed how everytime ben has a great game is when embiid is out
This game was like a Star Wars Movie Obi-Wan Kenobi Vs Luke Skywalker the Teacher vs Student 💯💯💯💯
Man simmons really excel if theres no joel embiid
That move at 2:26 was sick!
So we just gonna ignore that the Cavs almost pulled off a 30 point comeback curtesy of LeBron??

someone play this video on loop at simmons 50million dollar mansion, thats all the therapy he needs to get back on track
The sixers are just young and don’t know how to win big yet. This game should have never ended this close. Goo win regardless tho
