True is…. He lost confidence. Missing free throws and not scoring, he started thinking too much instead using instincts. It happens but the problem is him taking accountability for his mistakes and “apparently” he ran from them. 💯🤷🏾♂️
It wasn't the play. It was how he handled the situation for months and months after the play. If he had gone in the locker room and said yes I own it. I screwed up. He would still be on the team.
He still doesn't get it. That's how far removed from reality he is. He doesn't realize he was THERE. There was no reason for ANY pass, you're where everyone wants to be. Poor guy. I think he's done. He's being bullied and criticized and he doesn't think he did anything wrong. SMH.
It’s just a sport people. How about people put this much energy towards children getting massacred at school like in Uganda recently or the food deserts that exist in America. Stop being blinded.

Of course it's a HUGE deal. To be so unaware and lacking in confidence to pass up an easy basket in a pivotal moment during the playoffs is something we rarely see from any professional athlete.
It's because Ben sucks at free throws and going for a dunk was going to get him fouled and sent to the line. He didn't want to do that, so that's why he passed
Im actually sad for ben. He could have been the next big thing and he got scared and lost passion for basketball. I truly hope he revives his career later on so we can see his true potential
Trae young. This man was afraid of a man a foot smaller than him contesting under the basket. He was afraid of missing, getting fouled, and going to the line. The most frustrating part about this dude is how much talent he has in that body. He’s the polar opposite of Pat Bev and PJ Tucker. We’d all kill to be that gifted. And this dude just takes it for granted and couldn’t careless.
Game 7 2 mins to go quick decision, he didn’t make the wrong one because they still got points off it but he could’ve made a better decision, I don’t blame him
It wasn't only that play. He got the yips, was too immature to fight through it and ran away. I hope the kid figures it out, he's got a lot of talent and athleticism, he needs to take his career more seriously.
Honestly, stop the Ben hate. He just needs to find his moment. He is a great player. You guys all say this was a terrible mistake, have no idea how hard it is to make the correct decision every time. He is human, he can’t react to everything that happens in a slight second and preform perfectly.
in the playoffs, you have to make the right decisions? like not taking any shots in the 4th quarter of several games? I love JJ's podcast. but he gave Ben a hand job in this interview.

Rim protector on HoF, didn’t you know ?
