    His refusal to work on his game is his downfall. He is a 6'10 physical specimen and has elite court vision. He's quick enough to keep up with shifty guards on the perimeter but can also switch onto bigs without giving away anything.
    Sucks that he doesn't love the game and never put in the effort to develop a jump shot. His deflecting and lashing out at fans, teammates and coaches who only wanted him to get better says all you need to know. He's just a socialite who wants all the perks of being an NBA basketball player without having to play basketball. He's the poster child for wasted talent.

    It's not about how you fall but how you get back up that stays in people's minds. Klay suffered an injury in the finals against the Raptors that took him out for the following season, suffered another injury that took him out for another season and came back somewhat diminished but was still an integral to help GS win another chip. KD also suffered an injury during the same finals that saw him took 2 years off and he came back basically the same great player despite now being 2 years older.
    Simmons after that series with the Hawks, demanded a trade from a #1 seeded Sixers, sat out till he got traded, cited mental issues so he didn't have to play once he got to Brooklyn, and despite not playing basketball for almost over a year somehow has back issues to avoid the playoffs and part of the next season. When he did come back, he posted single digits in the box score. While I know correlation does not imply causation, but KD and Kyrie ended up leaving that same season.
    If you fall and manage to rise back up, the fall adds positively to your rise. In Simmons' case, he fell and fell even further.

      Lets just totally ignore the heriated disk operation, and the fact that he and every media outlet was advised it would take 18 months to fullly recover from, we are 16 months from it now. The reality is the nets possibly rushed him in way too quick, just like they did with Harden and his hamstring in 2021.
      Anyone who watched the nets at all last year could clearly see Simmons is in a good deal of discomfort often standing up on the sidelines, or laying down and stetching, forget the shooting form, his naturally exteme athletic ability was far below normal.
      Personallly I hope he has a great season, so creators like this one have to eat there words and find someone else to discredit.

    Lonzo ball is proof enough for me on how Ben Simmons never worked on improvement, from one of the worst shooters in the league to one of the best right before his injury, Simmons has had years to practice and improve and rather than improve has only regressed, and as someone who grew up wishing I could make the NBA it’s infuriating watching an all time talent and player like him who had the potential to be LeBron ruin his career the way he has, he still has a chance of redemption he’s young enough and I’m wishing not as a fan but for the sake of the god given talent he has that he’s quietly putting the work in right now and comes back better than he ever was but looks like right now that’s just wishful thinking.

    Personally, I think it's the fact that things were easy for him combined with the media overhyping him at the start of his career. Yes, he was an excellent prospect. But they built him up, calling him the 'next Lebron' and all this other crap. I don't even like Lebron, but how are you going to compare a rookie to one of the most accomplished players to ever play the game? That's like having someone graduate from West Point and saying 'oh, this guy is the next General Patton'. It makes zero sense. But then, the media will always overreact because that's how they generate ratings, not by doing actual, honest assessments.

    • @bigbearkat2010

      Funny thing is Lebron was hyped up way more than Ben ever was, and even kind of disappointed a bit his first couple years by missing the playoffs completely (one season even ended in collapse) in a weak ass Eastern Conference. The big difference between him and Ben though is that for all of Lebron's ego when something doesn't go his way, he rolled up his sleeves and went back to work. Ben goes on press tours telling people this years going to be different and how his previous failures are everyone else's fault.

    For whatever reason, he just stopped giving 100%. He just coasted. It doesnt matter he cant shoot well from anywhere, or whatever. He could compensate for it all, if he just gave at least 80-90% most of the time. So really, there was a huge lack of effort and that is something, you cant compensate with any skill, at least not in the NBA.

    'If you want to consider him a rookie'. For the last 40 plus years if a player missed their first season they were still a rookie when they did take th court. Blake Griffin was the same situation really a few years earlier. Guess Larry Bird and David Robinson didn't really win RoTY either as both didn't win in their draft year.
    Simmons is classic tale of what happens when a player is drafted into a terrible environment for development. Spurs turn unknown players into all stars., sixers turns stars into the butt of jokes. Simmons not playing, embiid unable to play in the playoffs, fultz forgetting how to shoot, everyone wanting to leave etc. Toxic environment.
    If Simmons manages to be healthy and play, he can carve out atleast a good role player spot in the NBA much like Rubio did. He may never be as good as his potential could have been but he still better than half the rosters anyway.

    • @maxmeier532
      @maxmeier532 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      With effort and his size, he didnt need to be able to shoot, unless free throws so you dont get exploited. But, he shows ZERO effort. And that is the problem. He is like a figure skater who's afraid to fall, so he never jumps. Yeah, you aint going to fall, but also you aint winning anything.

    Think about this. Simmons, Okfar, Fultz. The Sixers drafted with top picks. To me, they all seemed to want the NBA lifestyle but didn’t want to work for it. The bottom line is, you can have all the excuses you want, once you take a paycheck people expect results. Or at least effort.

    Despite what you may think, Simmons has way too many fans who think he will get back to his dominant point forward self. I've just had enough, he gets talked about WAY too much, poor old Josh Giddey another aussie who is light years better than simmons right now barely gets talked about in the media cause of damn markets. Ben Simmons needs to be ignored, cause he does not deserve our attention anymore

    Ben didn't even need a killer jumpshot to be a superstar. Imagine Demar Derozan, but he can pass with the best, rebound, and play DPOY-caliber defense. All this man needed was a reliable 15-footer, a 75% free throw, and that's it.
    Also, Coach Nick and BBallBreakdown points out that Ben is one of the best roll-men in the game.

    I love how "mental health" is now a legitimate excuse (because the NBA is currently so soft, women are comfortable applying their propaganda/buzzwords to the league) for multimillionaire basketball players whenever they suck.
    Rodman is like 6'6", possessed a fraction of Simmons' talent, couldn't shoot, used to rock dresses, go to Vegas for a few days instead of training, then come back and put in limitless effort on defense.
    Simmons is a hyped up front runner, and as soon as he got that contract, any pretense of him being a professional went out the window. Dude just wants to be rich and famous, teammates and ultimately the league that gave him the contract be damned.
