I like how they didn't add a whole lot of slow mo crap, the straight up highlights are 👌 good work elite mix tapes. I watch all the vids and I have been a subscriber for ever✌️
SONICdaGOON I've watched several of his entire games not just highlights and I can see where the Lebron comparison's come from. He is basically a point forward who at 6'10 is close to the quickest on the court and already has elite passing ability and court awareness like Lebron. Simmons is probably a better shooter than Lebron was at the same age.... but Simmons isn't the athlete Lebron is. Not saying Simmons is as good as or will be as good as Lebron but anyone that has watched his play this year can see the resemblance in their style of play. Either way Simmons is one of those rare players that could literally come out of HS and go straight to the NBA.
Lol. LeBron and AD? Hell no. I'm thinking like Scottie Pippin. Best case scenario. Sure he can handle the ball and cut his way through these highschool kids but put an NBA caliber defender on him and that crumbles. I've seen it over and over again.
Fr. though like his shaky handles will get him through high school and MAYBE college but against an NBA defender he can easily shut him down. Wish him the best though
I think we will. Assuming the lakers are one of the bottom 3 teams like everyone says we are, we have a 45% chance of keeping it if we have the 3rd worst record, 56% chance if we have the 2nd worst record, and 64% chance if we have the worst record. Those are decent odds for each slot. Assuming we get any one of those picks we could probably trade up and get Simmons when it's all said and done.
This mix is doing him a big disservice. Maybe the most amazing thing about this guy is the degree to which he's ambidextrous. Count how many times he uses the left hand in this mix, just 2 jumpshots. Elite is enamored with dunking, and that's not the strength of his game. Obviously he's an elite athlete, but he's much, much more than that. Now go check out the Home Team Hoops mix to get a better sample. Dude is a real player.
dude got handles so well....who cares shootings? he's still young, shooting will improve in the future. you can just dribble to the rim and dunk it. and also he can read games, his passing is as good as some guards
Ben Simmons is up to 6'10" 240lbs. Insane for a 19 year old who is looking to be a SF in the NBA. Check out his DraftExpress page, they have some combine stats on him from LSU. Insane results. If the results from his LSU combine are true there's no reason why this kid can't be a legit superstar in the NBA.
man these mix tapes, with all these dunks make him look slow and more like big man thats why people comparing him to Anthony davis. Yall need to watch him play for real, this guys so fcking skilled and is actually really quick and agile. His literally a 6'10 point guard.
DeShan Nichols yeh i think He'll start games at sf but will play point and pf on D at times in the game. i do see some resemblance to tmac but i think he'll be a better passing paul george. george and simmons have same wingspan, height, same level of athleticism, both can handle the ball like guards.
DeShan Nichols he actually has a really good jumper but yeh in games its very inconsistent. His too indecisive to shoot so when he does shoot its not natural and has no conviction but it'll come in time with confidence
He is a Mugsy bogues type player, they play very similar. He is a very good player and most likely the #1 draft pick in 2016.. I compare his game to mugsy bogues..
yall are saying next lebrick but this mix shows his made field goals and dunks not his jumper and hes not gonna be all explosive in college because there will be wayyyy greater competition in hs it looks like a shoot around for this guy but he isnt ready at all hes playing through momentum and not his skills so watch his college tapes not highlights in the future.
He is going to be a Laker! He knows it I know it the NBA knows it! I don't care how it gets done, it's been long enough and players like him are the reason the Lakers have been great!!!!
I'm 5'9 and played on a 9 foot rim last week. I conclude that basketball is actually pretty easy if you're very tall. With the lowered rim I was playing as the equivalent of a 6'9 player and I basically couldn't miss from anywhere within 10 feet. The only legitimately hard bit about scoring in the NBA is guys who shoot from 15+ feet. The rest is very easy. Due to their height
+CJ Mooney Basketball is the easiest of the major professional sports by a pretty wide margin, and yes, it is ridiculously easy if you are tall and reasonably athletic. The thing that makes it hard is playing against other tall and athletic people.
Евгени Рошманов Barkley also said the Warriors couldn't win a title with a jump shooting team. Just about every time Barkley opens his mouth he ends up being wrong. He is only there for entertainment value.
i think the sixers will get the first picknext year but he wants to play for lakers is it possible for them to pick him anyway ? (i'm sorry i'm not from us i don't know how it works ) and are the lakers willing to draft him anyway ?
+Carlos Minez Honestly, they can draft him even if Philly is #1, but only if a.) they select someone like Brandon Ingram instead, and b.) they don't go down any further than the #2 pick, and honestly, if Phoenix continues playing like they're currently playing with Eric Bledsoe out, I wouldn't say that's a guarantee anymore either.
This may sound stupid, but I don't think he will do as good in college. I mean this kid is walking through high school basketball with no competition. College will be a different story. Best of luck tho
He's team plays a national schedule , & the were in the Dicks sporting goods national championship & won , so ... You're kinda wrong about "no competition"
With his style of play, Getting team mates involved over scoring himself. I feel he'll do great in college. And being able to dribble while playing the 4. Can really stretch the floor and allow team mates to drive easily off his passes.
lol nah, from what i seen he doesn't have much of a shot. Great ball handler and passer tho. College will help with his scoring tho, Possibly the next Anthony Davis or KD35
I never watched enough T-Mac, Odom, Gay or any of the other comparisons, but I would say his style of play is most comparable to LeBron's, for player I have seen enough of. Not saying he is as good. I saw Ben play with LSU in Sydney in August, and for a lot of the time he played in a similar fashion as how LeBron played in the Finals this year; one out driving/making decision to kick or score. I just watched some LeBron high school highlights, so using HS as the comparable level I would say this: 1)LeBron looks more athletic, especially in terms of jumping, Simmons has a burst of speed which is as quick as LeBron. 2)LeBron plays at 100% all the time where as Ben's play is more efficient/lazy/laid back/kept in reserve; you choose. 3)Along with point 2), LeBron is a better help/close out defender because of his effort/jumping. 4)Simmons plays more fluidly, keeping his energy toned down. 5)Simmons has just a good handle, if not better. 6)Simmons is a better passer. 7)LeBron's playmaking is more based off being athletic, Simmons is based more off passing and reading the situation. Maybe Mount Verde played more a team game? 8)LeBron was a better pure scorer. Even though people say Simmons plays like LeBron but in a bigger body, I would say Simmons actually plays more like a pure point guard than LeBron. That's not to say Simmons doesn't get a load of buckets inside from just being taller/bigger than the guys he played against. As an aside: As good as LeBron is, he seems to lake the fluidity of someone like Michael, or to put it this way I would say in terms of smooth foot work and fluid movements Olajuwon is closer to Michael than LeBron is to Michael. The way LeBron moved in high school is more like Charles Barkley on a fast break.
+edmel144 Actually from seeing limited highlights of Magic and hearing about how he played, maybe he is a better comparison for Simmons than LeBron, in terms of style of play. I should try and watch more old basketball, that I never saw because it was before my time. I'd love to see whole games of Russell and the like from the 60's.
He's going to need to work on his game a lot when he gets to the NBA.. Lebron was way better than him at his age. This kid has more swag then game. Lebron in high school had swag too but Lebron seemed more hungry. This kid acts like he has it all already. Is it just me or does anybody else see it that way? If this kid had a lil bit of Kevin Garnett personality in him he would be better i think.
He talks too much to his opponents after he gets and 1s and dunks. At this point, he should be humble and learn to RESPECT the people he plays with, teammate or opponent.
Nah u fucking idiot... LaVine was a rook who avg 10 per game more than Kobe..Tmac...Harden when they were rookies. Lavine scored 37 against the Warriors and avg 18 ppg in the month of April.
JNike P Kobe, MJ, KG... all are some of the cockiest players ever, but I don't see how that affected their game. It might actually have helped their game. If you are a nice guy it takes the intimidation factor away and people are going to want to try you i.e. Dwight Howard. Can you imagine Dwight with the heart of Nate Robinson?
King Jamal The fact that he has a documentary is enough to show he is full of himself. He isn't the next LeBron James. This dude is a clown and is going to be a bust.
Bruh 😂 this dude handles the ball better than guards and gets to the rim like nothing. He is Lebron reincarnated lmfao. Guarantee u he goes #1 in the draft How many 6'10 guys got handles like that?!
+Hasan Harrington you have no idea what generation I'm in....a jump shot is important especially for a guy who isn't big enough to be strictly a post player.
Elite Mixtapes Straight up Killed this Mix!
Thanks bro
It really is a dope mix
Ikr!
yes this beat is nice... who is that singing?
facts! best mix I ever seen
Cant stop watching this sick mixtape!! Thank you Elite Mixtapes!
Ben Simmons remind me of Lamar Odom on how he dribble the ball & pass the ball to his teammates he will start at LSU this how good he is.
I like how they didn't add a whole lot of slow mo crap, the straight up highlights are 👌 good work elite mix tapes. I watch all the vids and I have been a subscriber for ever✌️
This kid will be a beast in the NBA! Great clip.
Ben Simmons is just Magic Johnson reborn. 6'10 who can do anything in the court. AND can use either hand? Just amazing.
Ben Simmons is like a Anthony Davis with a mix of lebron. I like his game!! This kids going places.
He's not a mix of the best 2 NBA players. We'll see what he becomes in college because that's where games become clear.
SONICdaGOON I've watched several of his entire games not just highlights and I can see where the Lebron comparison's come from. He is basically a point forward who at 6'10 is close to the quickest on the court and already has elite passing ability and court awareness like Lebron.

frankmat And he wont play for team USA he is an Aussie
Lol. LeBron and AD? Hell no. I'm thinking like Scottie Pippin. Best case scenario. Sure he can handle the ball and cut his way through these highschool kids but put an NBA caliber defender on him and that crumbles. I've seen it over and over again.
Fr. though like his shaky handles will get him through high school and MAYBE college but against an NBA defender he can easily shut him down. Wish him the best though
THIS DUDE IS A BEAST!!!!!! lmao look at that crowd the fat guy at 2:42 is hyped
"You can catch me on the lakers next year"
+Desmond Turner I hope so
I think we will. Assuming the lakers are one of the bottom 3 teams like everyone says we are, we have a 45% chance of keeping it if we have the 3rd worst record, 56% chance if we have the 2nd worst record, and 64% chance if we have the worst record. Those are decent odds for each slot. Assuming we get any one of those picks we could probably trade up and get Simmons when it's all said and done.
Desmond Turner
I don't even care if we get the # 3 pick so we won't have to give it to philly and at least draft Ingram
+Brendon Sanders nice win over brooklyn who boston holds their first, welcome to the celtics simmons :)
mike hunt
Thanks and I wouldn't mind getting the 3rd pick and drafting Ingram instead
I'd love to see a Top10 Ben Simmons assists vid. His vision is what I'm most impressed with.
PHILLY BOUND!!!!!!!

Dude is a real player.
This guy could go on any NBA team and be one of the best players on the roster!
Lmao
Only on the Knicks......
dude got handles so well....who cares shootings? he's still young, shooting will improve in the future. you can just dribble to the rim and dunk it. and also he can read games, his passing is as good as some guards
….

If the results from his LSU combine are true there's no reason why this kid can't be a legit superstar in the NBA.
Love the beat too
I want this kid on the lakers! He's unbelievable!!!!
0:08 Dude is 6'10 not 6'8, montverde announcer not doing the kid any favours
***** He was officially measured at 6'10 at the Adidas Nations. The kid has grown this year
Him talking shit to bacon😂😂
this fluidly at that size does not happen often this kid is the real deal will be a 10x Allstar and nba champion
hopefully this kid gots that Kobe mentality that you gotta practice and play each day like it's your last
So good with both hands that I didn't even know what his dominant hand was until he shot a jumper.
Australia represent!
I never cared to watch LSU, but i'll be watching LSU this year! yeah! the KillerBeezzzz
ikr
Dude said he will be a Laker next year... The more I see the Lakers play the more I'm starting to believe it.
This guy is soooo versatile
This guy is a beast
man these mix tapes, with all these dunks make him look slow and more like big man thats why people comparing him to Anthony davis. Yall need to watch him play for real, this guys so fcking skilled and is actually really quick and agile. His literally a 6'10 point guard.
I kinda see a little tmac n him I think he will ply sf in the NBA because of his ball handling skills.
DeShan Nichols yeh i think He'll start games at sf but will play point and pf on D at times in the game. i do see some resemblance to tmac but i think he'll be a better passing paul george. george and simmons have same wingspan, height, same level of athleticism, both can handle the ball like guards.
Yea he is a very good passer did you see the pass he did at the McDonald's all american game. The only thing is how consistent is his jumper.
DeShan Nichols he actually has a really good jumper but yeh in games its very inconsistent. His too indecisive to shoot so when he does shoot its not natural and has no conviction but it'll come in time with confidence
Yup nice! Watched him play in the championship game........wow
LMAO KEVINS JAMES @2:42
He's a beast
i could see him in a laker uniform next season! Lakers will need a player like Simmons after kobe retires
Damn this Kid got game. Just keep improving, he'll be the next nba superstar after ant davis
No1 for sure
that fassbreak though! wow!
I hope whatever team that drafts Dangelo Russell this gets to draft Ben Simmons they would be one of the best duo's in the NBA.
The Beginning Gave Me Chills
He is a Mugsy bogues type player, they play very similar. He is a very good player and most likely the #1 draft pick in 2016.. I compare his game to mugsy bogues..
Mugsy Bogues was 5'2".. Lol..
+Isaac Noh play style
Lechoke DaGoat oh i was about to say lol
Sick video. BS is just sick. What is the song ?
yall are saying next lebrick but this mix shows his made field goals and dunks not his jumper and hes not gonna be all explosive in college because there will be wayyyy greater competition in hs it looks like a shoot around for this guy but he isnt ready at all hes playing through momentum and not his skills so watch his college tapes not highlights in the future.
he was shit talkin dwayne bacon, which is awesome. respect
bro this guy is a beast😶no doubt but no one knows me
Stfu

Bang out for days

He is going to be a Laker! He knows it I know it the NBA knows it! I don't care how it gets done, it's been long enough and players like him are the reason the Lakers have been great!!!!
#Tank4Simmons
It's a wait and see thing with me
2:15 he did the Jamal Crawford and he 6'10 😦
I'm 5'9 and played on a 9 foot rim last week. I conclude that basketball is actually pretty easy if you're very tall.

The rest is very easy. Due to their height
Congrats you couldn't miss playing on a 9ft rim in your driveway. You're dumb as shit and still wouldn't even be good if you were 6'9"
+CJ Mooney Basketball is the easiest of the major professional sports by a pretty wide margin, and yes, it is ridiculously easy if you are tall and reasonably athletic. The thing that makes it hard is playing against other tall and athletic people.
Charles Barkley was right, look at this kid, 3 minutes of dunks on overmatched oponents, and hes the next big thing in basketball...shm.
Евгени Рошманов He played a national schedule. Basically he played all the best high school players. Overmatched?
Nobody listens to Barkley lol
Евгени Рошманов Barkley also said the Warriors couldn't win a title with a jump shooting team. Just about every time Barkley opens his mouth he ends up being wrong. He is only there for entertainment value.
Pleas? which is music?
this guy is Lebron playing as a big man! bright future for him
What song is this?
Hopefully they him play point guard like Magic Johnson in the NBA.
If he devolps a really good jumper and gets better handles he'll be really good
Hes ok... the sec is competitive now... so lets see what he does agsinst those physical post players of UK
People saying mixture of Lebron and AD already like damn lets start with Lamar odom and Julius Randle and see where he goes
True. Every draft is the same thing. "The next Lebron, KD, Kobe etc".
Aussie Power.
+AUmarcus Pussie 'Aower

That's obviously why you are here checking out his poor form.
At 0:58 Bacon Gettin embarrassed
i think the sixers will get the first picknext year but he wants to play for lakers is it possible for them to pick him anyway ? (i'm sorry i'm not from us i don't know how it works ) and are the lakers willing to draft him anyway ?

They could trade on draft day.
This may sound stupid, but I don't think he will do as good in college. I mean this kid is walking through high school basketball with no competition. College will be a different story. Best of luck tho
He's team plays a national schedule , & the were in the Dicks sporting goods national championship & won , so ... You're kinda wrong about "no competition"
Donovan Williams Ok, I didn't know that, but it seems like he plays so effortlessly yet still destroys people
He not the #1 player in the country for nothing lol
***** you gotta point there
With his style of play, Getting team mates involved over scoring himself. I feel he'll do great in college. And being able to dribble while playing the 4. Can really stretch the floor and allow team mates to drive easily off his passes.
Dope
Why does it feels like the way he stands is like Thompson
I can't wait for him to be on the Celtics next year
Lakers*
+BidDaddx Sixers*
hes not hes going to the Lakers or Philly
Classic Mamba925 Foh Bum
+Nicks “MLGaming” Faucher Phoenix, you fools!
This guy is amazing... definitely see some qualities of LeBron in him
song????
Can he shoot?
yep
lol nah, from what i seen he doesn't have much of a shot. Great ball handler and passer tho. College will help with his scoring tho, Possibly the next Anthony Davis or KD35
Mic Parker if he can't shoot then he's not the next KD
Mic Parker he wouldnt be going to a big name D1 school if all he did was dunk
BRIER actually most bigs coming out of high school cannot shoot
song ?
Anyone know the song?!?

Look up burning stars by anno domini beats, they usually provide most of the beats for mixtapes.
So only question is why lsu?
He just hit his face after dunking with the ball lol at 1: 27
aaayeee bang out
Bro you stupid

They stole this song from Ej Jackson Mixtape
Ben and Dwayne got a Len Bias and MJ thing going on

lmao Ben is Len, Dwyane is MJ in the fantasy situation
GO TIGERS
And he will play for Australia!!!
I never watched enough T-Mac, Odom, Gay or any of the other comparisons, but I would say his style of play is most comparable to LeBron's, for player I have seen enough of. Not saying he is as good.
I saw Ben play with LSU in Sydney in August, and for a lot of the time he played in a similar fashion as how LeBron played in the Finals this year; one out driving/making decision to kick or score.
I just watched some LeBron high school highlights, so using HS as the comparable level I would say this:
1)LeBron looks more athletic, especially in terms of jumping, Simmons has a burst of speed which is as quick as LeBron.
2)LeBron plays at 100% all the time where as Ben's play is more efficient/lazy/laid back/kept in reserve; you choose.
3)Along with point 2), LeBron is a better help/close out defender because of his effort/jumping.
4)Simmons plays more fluidly, keeping his energy toned down.
5)Simmons has just a good handle, if not better.
6)Simmons is a better passer.
7)LeBron's playmaking is more based off being athletic, Simmons is based more off passing and reading the situation. Maybe Mount Verde played more a team game?
8)LeBron was a better pure scorer.
Even though people say Simmons plays like LeBron but in a bigger body, I would say Simmons actually plays more like a pure point guard than LeBron. That's not to say Simmons doesn't get a load of buckets inside from just being taller/bigger than the guys he played against.
As an aside:
As good as LeBron is, he seems to lake the fluidity of someone like Michael, or to put it this way I would say in terms of smooth foot work and fluid movements Olajuwon is closer to Michael than LeBron is to Michael. The way LeBron moved in high school is more like Charles Barkley on a fast break.

I should try and watch more old basketball, that I never saw because it was before my time. I'd love to see whole games of Russell and the like from the 60's.
+edmel144 Definitely Lebron. Kid has no jumper or 3's only dunks.
Why was the Last Dunk so important? Was it special or something?
it was a dagger dunk to seal the deal for his 3rd consecutive national championship
He's going to need to work on his game a lot when he gets to the NBA.. Lebron was way better than him at his age. This kid has more swag then game. Lebron in high school had swag too but Lebron seemed more hungry. This kid acts like he has it all already. Is it just me or does anybody else see it that way? If this kid had a lil bit of Kevin Garnett personality in him he would be better i think.
Yeah, he is a bit douchy, i think.
He talks too much to his opponents after he gets and 1s and dunks. At this point, he should be humble and learn to RESPECT the people he plays with, teammate or opponent.
A mix of Antony Davis and LaVine
Billy nba lavine way more explosive
No where near as athletic as Lavine
Lavine is starting to become overrated AF
Christian Saraiva he is overrated as a player but not as an athlete. his athleticism/hops/speed is crazy
Nah u fucking idiot...
LaVine was a rook who avg 10 per game more than Kobe..Tmac...Harden when they were rookies.
Lavine scored 37 against the Warriors and avg 18 ppg in the month of April.
song name
Burning Starz Anno Domini Beats
I think he can play all positions.
This kid is mad NICE but he is very very arrogant/cocky which is not cool. Some one is going to humble him one day.
not at all
Maybe i jumped to a conclusion too soon, but thats just the way he comes off
JNike P yeah he can look cocky in the highlights but if u see his documentary he's actually chill
JNike P Kobe, MJ, KG... all are some of the cockiest players ever, but I don't see how that affected their game. It might actually have helped their game. If you are a nice guy it takes the intimidation factor away and people are going to want to try you i.e. Dwight Howard. Can you imagine Dwight with the heart of Nate Robinson?
King Jamal The fact that he has a documentary is enough to show he is full of himself. He isn't the next LeBron James. This dude is a clown and is going to be a bust.
DID HE JUST STRAIGHT BLOCKED AND STARED DWAYNE BACON IN THE EYE? DWAYNE BACON?
He the only one without a hat or a shirt 😅😆
Everyone on that team is called "academy". So confusing for the commentators.
All the powerhouse schools are called an "Academy" lol.
Can he defend ?
STRAYA
Can't believe he is the best player he can't shoot hardly at all its all dunks and flash let's see how it translates to real competition
What's the point in saying that?
You're irrelevant
Bruh 😂 this dude handles the ball better than guards and gets to the rim like nothing. He is Lebron reincarnated lmfao. Guarantee u he goes #1 in the draft
How many 6'10 guys got handles like that?!
+Dotu Hospidales that's exactly what I was thinking lebron is a horrible shooter too 😂
He damn there could be the next lebron. Got everything LBJ could do.
Look at all the jumpshots they showed....
Jumpshots aren't the only thing about basketball... God please help this generation... All everyone cares about is Jumpshots
+Hasan Harrington you have no idea what generation I'm in....a jump shot is important especially for a guy who isn't big enough to be strictly a post player.
LeBron isn't a jumpshooter and he's one of the greatest to play the game.....
+NJ223Gaming Lebrons junpshot is significantly better than Simmons. it's not even close.
+allDayFairway It will probably develop as LeBron developed his coming out of HS.
