How Ben Simmons Destroyed His Career
This Video:
Ben Simmons was once hyped up to be the next LeBron James, but after years of not getting better and never developing a jumpshot he has completely fallen off acquiring a "bust" label. Simmons is now one of the NBA's worst players, so how did he end up here after all the hype from the media?

That 'Ben Simmons will not have to be a great shooter' take wasn't wrong. The problem is he never turned into a 'shooter' period.
Yeah. No need to be a generational talent at shooting to make a damn free throw.
It's worse than that, now he won't even drive
@@willb9259 he’s scared to draw contact and go to the line. If he literally locked himself in a gym and shot 1000 free throws a day with a shooting coach etc I promise he could easily be a 75% shooter from the line easily.
Ben Simmons and "great" do not belong in the same sentence unless you say he is great at being a whinny ass pacifier sucking baby
Cause he from the burbs he ai ever tote a stick
You got to just love how Stephen A just switches on players 😂
Lol fr
Completely disloyal. Bet his wife isn’t surprised, dude is more fickle than a dried leaf.
Lol Stephen a is a tool but he did what you’re literally supposed to do. Adjust your opinion when you receive additional information. They said he’s great give him time to work on his jumpshot. Then everyone slowly realized “oh he’s not working on his jumpshot or game at all.” Which tells you everything you need to know about the player and his future. The man doesn’t llke playing ball but used it to set up his family. He a result of the young generation and how sensitive they are. Ben Simmons will go down as being the worst contract in NBA history and idk how anyone ever takes that title from him. As a basketball player the man is literally worst than worthless and there’s no way he’s good for any team or locker room. All he had to do was 1,000 jumpers a day. He would’ve improved enough to show everyone he was atleast trying. Smh
@@ryandraper6894 I think Ben could have taken shots in 2k and improved 😂
😂😂😂😂
Kendrick Perkins trying to say positionless made my day.
He’s so funny man I love him lol
@@WillSoTrill he is actually terrible now but years ago when he was new he was hilarious and had good takes.
Hahahaha. Me too lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@WillSoTrill Me too. He be so serious tho.
The physical comparisons between Ben and Magic, or Ben and LeBron weren't bad, neither was the potential. What no one could have predicted was Ben's poor ego development. The man is so afraid of looking dumb that he refuses to shoot the ball. This is true even as everyone wants him to shoot, regardless of if he makes the shot or not.
And what is truly tragic is that fans and the media would be far less hard on the guy if he took and missed a lot of shots, rather than not taking any.
He so afraid to look dumb? But, he does look dumb, right now. Ironic.😁
Totally correct. To not even try is something no fan can accept. Shaq shot 40% free throws and he's still loved by fans!
He also was conquered and disposed by Kendall Jenner.
@@joet7136yea but Shaq wasnt a wing either lol
That "Long Dong Tigers'" had me crakin 😂😂😂
"Get ready to learn Chinese buddy" killed mi😅
He's always been a tiger since LSU Tigers days. That's why I think he has three options for a team imo.
1. Guangdong Tigers
2. Xinjiang Flying Tigers
3. Jilin Northeast Tigers.
I think that's a very good list.
Ever since his pass up on the lay-up the man has had back problems, and has basically never played. I have to say, it's definitely difficult to play basketball without a spine.
Ah so his back problem is he has no back. Interesting.😂
To be fair there's not very many players who could score on the elite rim protector Trae Young
@@xylynthian753😂
Imagine if all you had to do to showcase improvement in your game is to shoot the ball. No pressure to ever make a single shot outside 15 feet, just show a willingness to Chuck up a few air balls a game. And still failing. Ben Simmons failed at something he had to show a bare minimum effort to do. That’s purely mental.
The fact that refused to ever represent Australia on their national team each summer was a major red flag to me. Why shy away from playing basketball and getting better every single off-season? Because it's hard, and he may not look good.
No heart. He should be the Tin Man for Halloween. Maybe part Tin Man and part Lion.
🇦🇺 = 🇿🇦
100% plus….Aussies go hard. Look how much effort they put in. Ben does not play like an Australian.
What was Australian's reaction when he said that?
He’s just a microcosm of this Tiktok generation.
Imagine the stories of Ben Simmons after his retirement like how they talked about Kobe's work ethic.
Joel Embiid: "One time at practice...I didn't see Ben. Gave me chills. The dude is different."
Its crazy. I stepped away from the game for almost 20 years and started playing a bit recently. I still drop 7-10 free throws at 40 yrs old. How can someone so talented as him not be able to shoot at all?? Blows my mind.
I’ve seen vids of Ben Simmons make like 10 straight 3s it’s just different when there’s a giant man jumping at u , u can tell his love for the game is dead he doesn’t care the media bullied his career into ruins but u can’t go shifting blame
@31v15 then he is mentally weak. How often do you hear the media criticize Lebron, Durant, Curry, Kobe, and others. They don't let it bother them too much or at leadr use it as fuel to be better. Ben is... spoiled and weak minded, he got his money so why should he care? If it wasn't for the money he would be a loser
You’re playing in your local Wendy’s parking lot with zero pressure…It’s not the same.
I mean the main reason is everything is harder when 20000 people are screaming the whole game. You seen the clips of dudes like simmons or dummond just cashing 3s in open gym but cant hit a barn in game
😂 free throws at the park? You realize it’s a little different when you have a whole stadium of fans when shooting? I’m sure you’d still be better but can’t say you have experienced that before.
You know how LeBron came in with all the hype and media always being negative and scrutiny and criticism and ridiculed and vitriol and expectations, that was put on LeBron, but LeBron mental was able to block out the noise, Ben Simmons don't have that capacity to block everyone and the noise and the hype and the attention to just play his game and now just like Zion Williamson they just want out.
I'd say the actual difference between them is Lebron actually put in the work to live up to the hype. He kept taking that next step up in his game in the early part of his career and if he came up short, he got back up and tried again.
Ben though was just content to play like he did in his rookie season and was either too lazy to adapt his game or he didn't think he had to. Opposing coaches noticed after awhile and were able to fully expose the flaws that Ben didn't bother to address, again either out of laziness or arrogance. When Ben fell short though, instead of going back to work to prove his haters wrong, he pouted and still didn't bother to adapt.

I think the only thing we can learn from the Ben Simmons thing is that all television analysts know nothing about basketball
Nah they just love to hype man, they always need to get views. Although really Ben had so much potential with his size and movement with that defense, he’s an absolute superstar. Unfortunately he gave up.
What you talking about there was a analyst that said Ben Simmons had no work ethic and that dude was spot on.
Dude the thing about Ben is that the talent is there 6'8 athletic can pass well can Olay well doesn't want to refuses to take shots the analysts were right he just stopped wanting to play I hope things work out for him he's obviously going through something
@@anynamereally24 even if he did play he wont get better then 17 PPG without practicing.
@@anynamereally24 I don't think he ever wanted to play in the first place.
He just does because of his talent. He has no love for the game.
He has no interest in getting any better.
He doesn't have the makeup or the heart of an athlete.
Imagine thinking ben Simmons was a generational talent. All these people were smoking good that day even the scouts
He was physically.
The fame and attention changes everything. He could be a great player with no audience.

Anytime somebody makes crazy ass comparisons a player is bound to disappoint them in a way. As a philly fan I had reasonable expectations for him I didn’t even want him to take 3s just him having a nice middy game would help. Really I wanted him to be what James harden is right now tbh with his defense added in.

@@WillSoTrill definitely man. I always felt like he could be more aggressive in the paint also. I feel he was one or two summers of work away from reaching his full potential. It just shows how talented the league has become when even a guy like him has struggled in the league.
Once in a lifetime player every draft.
The only players that lived up to the hype in my lifetime are Kobe and Lebron, and Kobe didn't have nearly as much hype as Lebron. No one else since those two have come close to looking as good as they were billed. KD and AD had a little hype but nothing crazy, while guys like Steph, Kawhi, Giannis, Jokic and Embiid weren't expected to be all time great.

That’s true, he really had a lot of potential in basketball and could’ve gone even further. Sucks to see
Generational? Really?
@@StripedJacket take just 50 mil from his deal & throw it in the stock market. You'll average around 5 million dollars of income a year.
Good to see someone else shares my belief. I'll take it a step further and suggest that Ben Simmons doesn't really enjoy playing basketball. As soon as his contract expires he will be done with the game.
@@MokeAnit I’m looking at the numbers online and I’m so confused
His net worth is supposedly ~$8 million but his deals seems to have made him $125 million so far & + $78 million to come

As much as I enjoy watching Ben crash and burn and the hate and slander thrown his way, part of me wants to see this guy turn his career around and play up to his potential. Would be one of the greatest redemption arcs of all time.

Dropping dat heat again.

Man I'm sorry seeing your face caught me off guard 😂😂 good video tho
🤣🤣 thanks fam
Imagine playing with JJ Reddick & Robert Covington and still not being able to shoot O_o
Imagine that sixers team with LeBron instead of Ben. The terror of LeBron coming upcourt with Covington and Reddick on the wings
Ben is not built for the moment, the media blasted him, his teammates blasted him, the fans blasted him, the internet is blasting him!! The pressure and criticism have destroyed him mentally. I would love to see him comeback and silence the critics. Unfortunately with all his injures that first step is gone, so he is going to have to develop a shot and work on his foot work in the post. Without a shot or solid postgame his only asset is his passing, and I don’t think a team is going to pay him to pass the ball around.
And then he blasted a Kardashian and got the curse. 😂
7:06 yo wtf is this bruh 😂😂 stop playing wit me
Why he's Ed Sheeran with a black dude voice?! 😭😭

I hate to bring up Giannis in this video, but it’s funny seeing how almost all these guys critique giannis and heap all this praise on Ben Simmons, it’s crazy!!!
Spent summers in LA instead of Philly focused on getting better.
Love how you snuck that real Adam silver clip
Kendrick Perkins struggling to call positionless is lowkey funny as hell 🤣🤣
Nobody wants a player that is afraid to fail
Kwame Brown had said that he hated the fact that people called him the biggest draft bust. I guess he doesn't have to worry about that anymore, since this is the only crown Ben Simmons is going for.
Facts
If there is a case for the biggest bust in NBA history, Ben Simmons now fits that narrative. He clearly doesn't have the will to play meaningful basketball anymore. He may be done in the NBA. Playing overseas is now more likely for him now.
Great video BUT none of y’all can tell me you saw the face reveal coming! Haha
Will been invited to the cookout
LMAO
Simmons sitting lead to the emergence of MAXEY - that was the sliver lining
There’s still time to improve his shooting and redeem himself, but that door slowly closing and he’s just one big injury away from saying goodbye to that NBA career.
Bro he gotta toughen up and play center. The new meta is a tall guard/center that can control the floor but he can't play pg and not shoot, so cover it up by playing him at center
Dude was on track, but he just turned into Andrew Bynum.

And break left

Watching this bandwagon in real time hurt, granted no one could really blossom w Lebron and curry doing what they did in the 2010’s, but Simmons never really showed me that potential other than passing and dunking w size. It’s crazy to think that we were only a few years removed from seeing booker, Tatum, ja, fox, Mitchel, luka, and Zion. All killers that came around for their teams quickly as the nba landscape was changing.
Bruh that ad break straight up Rick Roll'd me
I feel like tons of like g leaguers, overseas players, and college benchwarmers would kill for Ben's height and skillset. That's what makes Ben Simmons so disappointing.
I’m the biggest lebron hater on the planet but “Lebron you can go” is the WILDEST lebron take I’ve ever seen! Like yoooo who are you?
He gotta lay off the perkys!

I still can’t believe the amount of hype bro had that was wild asf to watch unfold
brother i thought you was midnight with how you sounded i literally fell back in my chair when i saw the ad
LMAOOOO
ben just doesnt take criticism well, which is a huge weakness to have for a young guy. he let the comments of others get to his head. he really walking around like hes king already, no fool people are saying you COULD be that
YOU’RE WHITE?????
he doesn't sound like it ay
@@t1mblim he sounds very very black
🤣🤣🤣
14:12 Freeway??? Hahaha
Steven A said the same EXACT thing about Glen Robinson I in Phila.
The crazy part to me is that, outside of the normal media over-hype, the initial analysis of Simmons was pretty accurate. He was a unicorn in that he was a 6"9 guy that could move like he was 6"4. He did have next-level court vision. He was a high-level defender. He even showed flashes of jump shooting, or at least close-range shooting. Yes, he lacked a 3pt shot, but that's something that, given his other skillsets, any NBA team would feel confident on either developing or working around.
No one could have seen the mental/emotional collapse that happened with Simmons. I don't think it's a skill issue. There's no reason that a player with Simmons' skillset, including zero jumpshot, shouldn't be able to play well in the modern NBA. For example, put the healthy Simmons in the Boston Celtics lineup. Simmons-Brown-Tatum-Grant Williams-Horford, a massive, high-level defensive lineup with four spacers. Or you could swap Horford for a Derrick White or a Malcolm Brogdon. This is the type of basketball where Simmons should, theoretically, excel. Playing as a Point-Center or Point-4, initiating a fast-paced, spacing offense. The mental side is why he is a disaster and unplayable.
They wasn’t wrong if Ben actually hit the gym and got a jumpshot he would have had a chance to be great
Bro said the Wong dong tigers.😂
WHO TF 😂.
Id like him for my nuggets from the bench but i have to admit that i dont know how much money he takes with his contract
If he wants to play for 2 mils a year then maybe, maybe
😂😂😂😂😂 Shaq was a savage
Bro the fucking ad 😂😂😂😂 My brain literally could not process that this man had THAT voice for a solid 10 seconds holy shit 😂
Wtf lmao I was expecting a Durag beard and a black and mild
5:25 this is painful to watch 😂😂
As much of a meme as it would him going and playing overseas for a period of time of a season or 2 could really help his game IF he truly is dedicated to basketball playing somewhere else could help cut down on distractions and refocus his efforts he is only 26 and that's a big IF given how he has acted but there has to be some competitiveness in there somewhere right?
Jaylen and Brandon looking gold rn
The guy had nothing but praise before he played a single minute.
AYOO WTF I really taught you were a tall black guy by your voice *very important lesson I've learned today don't judge the voice by its tone 😂 still fucks with the channel tho nothing but love bruh ✊
LMAO! Aye man I appreciate it
Colin's always the smartest guy in the room, lol
My goodness, so many bad takes😂.
Simmons should be able to control the game flow just by defense, passing, driving, and rebounding. No dog present, however!
Yup
It's a dog, it's just a poodle.
hes gonna meet dillion brooks in shangahi
All you had to do was not overthink Ben, I guess you can still make the case of him having some potential to improve but unless he tried to improve his weaknesses he wouldn't know. I guess time will tell
Brooo I thought your black 😂😂😂😂 all love though 😂
🤣🤣
I was never on the Simmons train lol could tell he didn’t care since college. Thought he had a big ego.
anybody got a link for the press conference at 16:42? been looking for it for a while & haven't been able to find it
Everybody mad at Ben Simmons but he obviously and clearly only cared about getting paid. Can’t be mad at that

Ben Simmons DESERVES a contract…in China
This has aged like fine wine considering how much worse Simmons is this year 😄

It’s in his jeans 😂😂

LMAO!
No way u put the meme clip of silver saying he better learn Chinese 💀
Lol and giannis isn't the next anyone. He's the first giannis!
I dont know if we should call him a bust. He did produce and atchive ok unlike real busts. Hell J.R lost the nba finals with a bad play and we dont call him a bust 😊. The Simons saga just seems to have a very sad ending.
Bust label for Ben mainly comes from the expectations he had, because he was a nice player for some time
Damn, bro. Can’t believe Adam actually said that 😅
I’ve been saying since college he was overrated. My homies were like naw naw he’s that dude he got handles, dunks, passes. Ok and where is his shots? Naw he don’t need em. In the nba you do. And then I was told Brooklyn he gunna go off watch cause he doesn’t need to shoot now just defend and pass. Still waiting on Ben to shoot lol
at this point, 6’8+ “point guards” are a major red flag
And some thought Brooklyn won the trade
I must have been in a coma or something cause I don’t remember all this hype. And I never thought NONE of this bs, so I’m confused 😂
2015 was crazy haha
Crazy thing is if he worked on his downhill game, passing and defense he would’ve been legendary 😂
