Finally someone being honest about Ben Simmons
Exactly
do u live under a rock. the whole team threw him under the bus after the hawks series. so did the coach and joel embiid. he has been scrutinized heavily the last 3 years. stop being so oblivious.
@@jacobchambers7201they were way too kind to Ben Simmons. He deserves the worst.
@@jacobchambers7201and guess who did it to himself? Himself.
Ben Simmons has nobody else to blame for the work HE DIDNT AND WONT DO. The arrogant wank wouldn't take shooting advice from JJ Redick 😂
@@k_hack9441it’s just basketball bro calm down 😂
Fine psychological work here from Richard Jefferson: never been a superstar, so he knows how under appreciated you can be in a superstar driven league. Here he starts praising a very modest role player like Niang to let him feel good and subsequently open revealing unedited and unpublished details about Ben Simmons. The transition to the media world for Richard Jefferson is now complete. Bravo!👏 👏 👏
Well said
He definitely was a star in jersey
So was he supposed to not make the guest feel appreciated? Why are you phrasing it as if it's some sort of manipulation practice
@@MoralesCorner because it was. I was actually praising him. That’s what I observed
@@GiftedDee star, but no superstar
Maxey’s drive in Ben’s body…imagine that. Ben wasted his talents for a bag. When he could’ve balled out and gotten like 3-4 big deals.
He got that money and 🐱 and it took his drive
All he's ever wanted was the bag, mf didn't set out to be great
That’d be something man…
Loved niang in Philly man he's all heart
Facts I loved minivan he would come off the bench and hit 2 or 3 threes when we really need them
Bang bang niang
Sixers fans ❤❤❤ Niang !!! Keepin' It Real, Minibus.😊
Dude would get under the other teams skin 😂😂 loved it
I always love players that wear their emotion on their sleeve out there like Niang. Wish he was still with Philly.
Cmon guys. You've got so much money. Keep the echo out the damn mics😂😂😂
There engineer was on phone 😂
I love how he kept it real. Ben was so frustrating. I still can't talk about him without getting frustrated. All we wanted him to do was..... Wait for it .. shoot the ball 🤷 i remember he made that three when Joel made him shoot and the arena going crazy!!!!! Smh we didn't care if he made em like Curry. Just shoot the dam thing. Smh. I still need therapy 🤦
You don’t need therapy Ben needs therapy
Nah man you’re spot on. Everyone in Philly feels this way. Even beyond shooting, we just want players that give effort and are passionate. He wasn’t built to play in this city… or I guess any other city for that matter. Just mastered the art of collecting checks while sitting on the bench in all designer
Bro i don't even like philly but it was very infuriating watching someone with all the talent and tools to be one of the greatest and simply not put in the work and never become a better player
I hope you’re able to get the help you deserve
I used to stay , bro just throw the ball at the basket atleast yall can get a rebound 😅
Niang is always welcome in Philly. He balls.
😂 naw he can stay where he at
nah that mf can stay
Don't speak for us, no he can't
Rj was definitely thinking of de'anthony Melton when he said shake Milton was a defender
Nah Deanthony was still with Memphis at the time
Milton is supposed to be a 3&D PG. RJ is right.
@@slamdunk2270interesting, was that his profile coming out of college at the time?
I confuse those two all the time lol
If Ben worked hard and loved basketball he would have been a HOF easily and been a top 5 player. He had the size at 6’10 to run the court like Giannis, he could pass the ball at an elite level, and he was an elite rebounder as well. He should have been able to average near a triple double. His scoring is all he needed to work on. If he developed a post game he could have easily averaged 22-23 points and if he got some type of jump shot it could go higher. He really should have been an all time great player with his talent vision and size
He had all the talent but none of the work ethic. Could've been one of the greats if he just worked on his game
He let the Bbls get to him
Boy I thought that was Austin Rivers in the thumbnail 😂
I thought it was Andrew Tate
It’s crazy out of that Tilton HS squad of Nerleans Noel, Wayne Selden, Gerard Coleman, Goodluck Okonoboh ….Niang the one that’s still in the league
Noel would still be in the league if Rich Paul didn't tell him to not sign that contract.
That was SO refreshing 2 hear an NBA player keep it totally 💯 regarding relationships with other players (especially Ben Simmons). Normally they’re so politically correct and phoney (ie. JJ Redick). Ben Simmons has no one 2 blame with how his career has turned out but Ben Simmons and I have no idea why people have coddled him 4 so long. It did nothing 2 help him…it just enabled the piss poor attitude and approach 2 the game. Grown men need the truth; not yes men.
5:09 (whispers quickly) "am I not important?" 💀😅
It’s a true team sport, passing the ball to someone and trusting them can help them help family and community 🙏🏽💎
Even Ben was pissed. Piss his pants.
I hate Ben.
Who remembers the technical Ben Simmons received when Georges Niang annoyed the hell outta Simmons
you remember a single technical foul in an 84 game season... insane.
@@juz882010 yes. since it was very specific lol. You remember the technical Tim Duncan got for laughing at the bench?? 😂
@@juz88201082 mr. obvious lie basketball iq
@@juz882010lol you thought you were doing something
84? Lol @@juz882010
LMAO bruh ben got paid millions to go to work to watch his co-workers work 🤣🤣
thank you George for your honesty.
Ben was incredibly good. It's a damn shame how his career has turned out.
Blame himself for that happening so in reality not a shame
@@cookingwithANGIEandJOHN facts dudes gettin over 100m to chill
Incredibley good lol stop that bull shit most of us who kno ball laughed at him in college and nba wtf u talkin bout overrated no ball handles can’t and won’t shoot never has can’t score more then 10 points in a half court offense he was always useless
He really was amazing
He peak in high-school
“I get about 4 of those a game” lmao bron is wild for that.
So glad he spoke on this.
Did he say Shake Milton was a defender 🤣. That was the funniest part of this discussion.
Lol yeah. He has the wingspan but it didn’t seem to help. I’m still a Shake fan but though.
He didn’t bring that toughness or them corners 3’s he was talking about to Cleveland.
Nobody wanted to play for that bum ass coach who tanked the final game of the season lmao
Miss Georges in Philly
Niang just became my favorite player. Forget the stuff he even said about Ben and listen to his cadence and all, brother is just having a great time and being honest
richard jefferson is the deadpool of the nba
Just saw Deadpool and Wolverine.
RJ is definitely the Deadpool of all the nba analysts- straight hilarious, savage and just talks so much but in a funny way.
Keep up the great work roadtrippin! 😂👏🏽🐻⬇️
Great comp.
Nah that's a movie .
Underrated segment
Niang is chill.
this is exactly why star nba players aren’t good podcasters. if this was paul george he’d just say “nahh.. that’s just the business tho” but role players can have honest conversations like this
i love niang. we miss you in philly
Sorry but are we forgetting all the time RJ spent defending Ben Simmons over and over again (likely he was on the Rich Paul "train")? Where did that all go?
RJ sipping his drink after he said Ben Simmons name is funny
He looks in better shape in the off season
pretty refreshing to hear a non-political perspective about simmons. never loved the game fr
Ben Simmons is a certified bum with no heart ! Pssy 4REAL!
Don't bring 😸 into this. Ain't nothing weak about 😸💪🏿
All the words needed to describe this fact.
That's interesting. The money got longer to spread to people. RJ was defintely solid and Channing literally became a Stretch 4. These dudes deserved that. Channing Frye also had one of the coolest names ever 🔥🔥
0:19 this is exactly why Naji Marshall is a good pickup for Dallas because he was always in this mix every time the Pelicans had an altercation
MA legend 🗣
He was obviously hurt he hasn’t even been half the player he was since he left Philly
You’re so gullible. He’s lied his whole career.
He wasn’t playing because he ran out of excuses
@@k_hack9441he’s had 2 surgeries lmao wtf
I still don't see how anyone can be upset with Ben. He literally had 2 back surgeries. There is not a single person or doctor that would clear back surgery unless you need it because your back will never be the same post
Fix the mic editing in this, turn off the other mic's when someone else is speaking loudly otherwise you can hear the bleed
George must have forgotten about grabbing Jaylen Brown’s knee from the bench when he said he doesn’t do anything dirty
Where’s the Bill Walton special? Luke, Richard, & Channing haven’t addressed it. Just re-posted the old interview
Bro stood on business here!
This dude always gave me life off the bench in 2k. Shit,I would start him sometimes lol.
This dude looks and sounds like DJ drama and i can't unsee it
As a sicer fan, I'd welcome niang back with open arms.
BANG BANG GEORGE NIANG!!!!!
I built my PG in 2k similar to Ben. I’m 6’8”. I can’t shoot and beat up on other PG’s in the post. I dish it like J Kidd. I rebound and defend like prime Kobe. Best of all, I’m not a scared to shoot.
Who remembers when they we’re roasting niangs physique
Im not mad....the league finessed countless players, good job Ben
Ben had the potential to be the next Magic Johnson but he just didnt care enough to even be as good as himself anymore
Stop giving this guy that much credit. He was never that dude. Magic is a legend. They should never be put in the same sentence even if speaking in terms of hypotheticals.
@@user-bd9gh8kc3hin the 90’s ben simmons would be at the same level as magic, they are the same exact player, but in different moments
@@davidevanalli764 that’s like saying that in the 70s Jeremy Grant would’ve the same level as Michael Jordan
@@keithonrios9519 mj wasn’t Playing in the 70’s and nowadays the ability of shooting is a must, in the 90’s wasn’t important, ben simmons and magic arethe same exact type of player, tall PG with defense and passing, with no shoot
@@keithonrios9519 😂😂 thank you!! Such a ridiculous argument comparing Ben to Magic. Disrespectful.
Niang was fr scared that bron would end his career there lol
Just when I thought I couldn't respect him any more, "Bang Bang" just went over the top with his Simpletons take.
common yall... how much would it cost a mic you clip on your shirt?
Clip mics on shirt sound like 💩 the ones they’re using are way better
@@rollin60z Yeah but let's be honest they are talking with their hands too much to hold a mic lol.
@@rollin60zHeard of a lav mic you slow?
Niang built like the off-season ~ TheHeziPharaoh and Ben Simmons
They disrespected Ben. I don't blame him, not 1 bit 💯💯
He was frustrating as LSU. Complaining about class & $ before NIL, but wouldn’t spend the time to be above 70% from the fucking free throw line? That’s garbage
Tell him to keep the mic stable
I always saw this dude on 2k and thought he was a fake person. 😂😂 he real.
Georges is gorgeous 😍 New fan🎉
the minivan!
Ben has talent but didn't want to work...But the crazy thing is Australia doesn't even have their best 2 players playing..Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving.
Now that's a gold medal..Back in 2016 😉..
Kyrie was just born there he isn't Australian at all
New Jersey is in Australia, lol?
Gorges mad because Ben not playing made him have to actually work harder😂😂😂. God aint make you 6'10, get over it
I've yet to hear someone compliment Ben Simmons after his Sixer years. All I hear is them telling safe answers, but not real compliments.
Christ almighty Richard Jefferson, let the fuckin guy talk
This dude is by far the most hated. Theres no way i could be a billionaire and not have them taken dudes runnin around Ben compound
I still don't see how anyone can be upset with Ben. He literally had 2 back surgeries. There is not a single person or doctor that would clear back surgery unless you need it because your back will never be the same post
Excuses
Everyone knew they hated Ben Simmons
I really dont know how, in Ben Simmons mind, he can accept tens of millions of dollars and not play because he's depressed. Mental health aside, I don't understand how his mind still sees himself as a victim and entitled to that money.
All of them do it. He's just the most blatant one
That game where Ben didn’t dunk on Trae he literally kept them in the game through assists and other factors not points
What they needed was points from him especially in that moment
He could've also helped the team by scoring... all the missed shots at the line and the most well known one of all, the missed dunk attempt on trae young could've EASILY been an AND1 play that would've put the sixers over to win the game /series. People have got to stop defending Simmons and look at it more objective lense
RJ will carry on JJ Redick's Content Legacy 🙏
Ben to the NBL 🫢
At this point, Ben is just funding his fashion career with NBA
Ben dude will be out of the league if this season he doesn’t stay on the court but we shall see 😂😂
Ben Simmons come back next year?
I’m not on the payroll but I’ve been in Ben’s shoes on a much smaller degree. Man Ben dunking all over that mf. The only thing I hear in this video is “Ben shutdown and I needed him to get paid”. Yo, show the team you’re hungry (not literally in your case). Show up in good shape, you’re shooting yourself in the foot depending these millionaires to get your stats. Bro brought the ball up one time and I haven’t seen him do it since.
Mr brick merchant George trying to talk 😭
Ben Simmons is the first work from home NBA player. What's wrong with that
Minivan was the man lol
Say what u said about Miles Bridges and he should never touch an nba floor again, I bet u won’t say that to his face
it is pronounced "peer-ick" victory, otherwise that is an interesting term to use!
This might cost him his career. The league is filled with Ben Simmons
It's time to start calling him Bench Simmons
BUMMMM SIMMONS
JJ Redick would have defended Simmons here
I think Ben has his problem, but being mad at him for not being on the court so you can make more three is just petty. 👎
Same, i didn't love Ben, HATE his fans. But after a certain point it got old beating up pn6 dude. Like drake now, I think we trampled his corpse long enough
If I see a singular comment saying we caused his downfall I swear
Exactly if anything we were the last ones to go crazy on him 😂
Proof that Ben Simmons really was being a jackass in Philly.
Dude was uber fat at the playoffs. Hurted the Cavs
What's with NBA players trying to act tough like they are out there brawling every night 😂??
The sound is awful lol
Ben Simmons is everything wrong with the NBA in one dude
Fix the echo amateurs
Ben made bank and nyang didnt
Then whatever Jeff bezos does is correct bc he’s made so much money. If he decides to touch little ones, it’d be wrong to criticize him for it? You’re one sick individual lol
RJ cussing feels cringe
Ben is a great what if story. I don’t think he loves the game of basketball. He is naturally gifted with size. If he worked hard I truly believe he could have been a Lebron type player. He was a great passer and rebounder and just needed to work on his shot. But I don’t think he wanted it like that. Maybe he can become a great role player for a championship team but the superstar days have long gone
Everybody on the league who ever tried to help and counsel the ashat bensim finna got frustrated. He doesn't wanna improve or get better or heal and get over with whatever drama he has.
He just wants the money
