You have better chances making the nba by maybe being on the court, bouncing the ball twice, setting a screen, and clearing out the way, so they can play 4vs5. Then doing treadmill until the game ends. I'm 36yo, and 🐂💩(B.S, or Ben S.) Gives me hope... For real!!! 😷🤣😂
For real I always wondered why players never become better and I always assumed it From their lack of respect for the game when their getting paid so much but when you see players that are never good become crazy and it’s because they want to play rather then just get paid in a way if u can understand me I’m high ash rn
@@Kikothebeanfr organisations gotta change the contracts now, that if player doesn’t improve or reach 5/10 goals that they’ve setup for him then the player won’t receive the whole max contract but half of it.
It's not even him relying on his environment because he has the disposable income to throw money into the support he needs. E.g. LeBron paid Hakeem the Dream to train his post game when he was in Miami. Simmons just refused people left and right especially around the time of the 76ers fallout if I remember correctly
Remember when Kobe Bryant said that Ben would regret the rest of his career if Ben never developed a jumpshot years ago and how it costed the Sixers their playoff run in 2021? Yeah, this is the aftermath of all of it...

@@bamf6603 his prime? He's not even a starter on a team that traded away their stars. Look at his numbers, more fouls than field goals. His best career move right now would be learning Mandarin.
I don't think he's gonna regret it. I don't think he loves basketball like that. He made his millions and he'll likely fade in obscurity after his career is over.
Im one of those, who defended him not being able to shoot earlier in his career. I actually thought he is working on it. now here he is, refusing to shoot from anywhere and missing layups
If only the Sixers hadn't let go of Butler, who could have led this team to the finals with Embid. Since then, I have often thought about this wrong decision. If they had replaced Ben then, they could have gained another star and some picks or good role-players for the duo of Embid and Butler. I won't be surprised if Embid leaves the 76ers when his contract runs out. That's the C they're going to take to every team in the NBA.
@@cwehdenif Daryl Morey (who wanted to trade Ben Simmons from Day 1) had been hired by the Philadelphia 76ers just a week earlier, Ben might have been traded to the Houston Rockets for James Harden. The problem is, by the time Morey got to Philly, Elton Brand has already signed Ben to a designated rookie max extension. For that reason, the Houston Rockets said, "fcuk that sh!t" and traded Harden to the Brooklyn Nets, instead. The Rockets were rebuilding and did NOT want an unproven guard on a designated player max, unless it was an expiring contract. Suffice to say, Elton Brand is the main reason the Simmons situation got so out of hand. The 76ers had to include Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first round draft picks just to get rid of Ben. It was worth it for Morey because he finally got his favorite PG, Harden, after trying to trade for him for more than a year and a half. Sadly, it's going to take a LOT more than that for Brooklyn to get rid of Simmons. 🏀📜💰
The Sixers could've: Drafted Booker instead of Okafor in 2015 Drafted Brown/Ingram instead of Simmons in 2016 Not trading up in 2017 and drafting Jayson Tatum Not trading away Jimmy Butler They would've had a lineup of: PG- Booker SG- JJ Reddick SF- Butler PF- Tatum C- Embiid With Jaylen Brown as their 6th man and Solid rotational pieces such as Robert Covington, Tobias Harris and TJ McConnell
Bad comparison. More like the Carson wentz, showed flashes early and looked like the future, but then got paid and play regressed and both weak mentally.
Work! Man you really are brilliant at editing your videos together seamlessly going from clip to meme to clip lol, I know it’s not something a lot of people notice but I’m always impressed after watching your videos. Especially with all the stats you drop that most people overlook. God bless Mj, happy for your success brother!
Imagine intentionally *TANKING* to get tons of picks and #1 overall picks just to fall short every single damn time. *Philly got the bad karma they deserve.*
I’ve never seen a player like him. To start off so promising and to self sabotage yourself like that. Like he literally gave up. You can just tell that he just doesn’t like playing anymore. The man just wants his money. It’s like viewing someone going to work just for the paycheck and barely putting in any sort of effort.
With his thinking, he will be bankrupt after 2 years when he leaves the NBA. I understand not trying in a job that you hate, but to play such "shit" for 200 million and not to have motivation is a lack of words. I don't feel sorry for him at all... Because much better basketball players did not receive such contracts. In my opinion, the contract should be on the achievements on the pitch, not on the feats before signing.
Dude took the Kenneth Faried trajectory. Once people realize Faried isn't good at defense or offense but just a hustle player with size, he dropped off so fast. Same with Ben, except that Hawks showed who Ben really is: a player with size that has no bag, no shot and now apparently no defense.
Ben Simmons' career was over the moment his past up a dunk so that he wouldn't get fouled. I felt bad for 76ers fans and wished that they could've kept Jimmy Butler.
I'm a sixer fan and I've been saying this for years, I said Ben really just wants to go to a bottom seen n collect a few more mill, then he'll be out the NBA by 31 and he'll turn his nba money into more money, he just don't care about the game that much and 6er fans seen this way before the hawks series, but the media bashed us anyway and now everyone sees, I bet he'll be on magic, hornets, rockets or pistons by next season. He rather not play then learn to shoot.
@@silversoulken Okay then it sounds like the more likely scenario is his parents will bail him out of whatever financial snafu he inevitably gets himself in
I remember telling everyone he would be a bust when he played at LSU! Dude couldn’t shoot then! Now he gets exposed because he can’t hide his weaknesses
There has never been a player so good sabotage their own careers this badly. Better players failed to reach expectations due to injuries or circumstances but never with this much support and money and complete inability to TRY to be a pro.
What to say... *Hard work beats talent, if talent does not work hard.* BS refuses to work on what's missing in his game.. 🤷♂️ he made himself into a liability.
NBA teams should be able to cut players who haven't played 1-2+ seasons Leonard and Simmons both did it without injuries and it shouldn't be acceptable, at least Leonard came back and ate food but what's to say players like Simmons won't do this again
@@marquesenorris8785 drose is another situation, u get hurt u may never come back but currently NBA teams still have to pay hurt people NFL pays per game so this isn't an issue there, hurt people is a lost investment
Ben's confidence is just gone. By this time you can never fault the online bullying and fan hate for his downward spiral. Because at the end of the day it is up to Ben to get rid of his own doubts and become the player he was or maybe even better. I hope he breaks from whatever he is in right now man and be great again.
"hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard". Big Baby Ben Simmons is the true definition of what happens when talent doesn't work hard. Dude was born with all the tools: the body and the talent for his size. And yet he couldn't even do the basics and work on his game. Just really disappointing to see and think about what could've been
Even when i 1st seen the clip i was thought it was some type of shirt. If it is a phone it's the biggest phone i ever seen in my life. sixers practice jersey's are white btw
His decline early made sense tho. When you face him and Philly on Tuesday game 27 of 82 you’re just doing what you can to win that night w/ little prep. In the playoffs when you can game plan against guys and even move around lineups things are really gonna change. Ben’s issue is mental and idk if he can escape it
I was a big supporter of him, really had hoped he'd turn it around but I think he's done now. The contract will be honored and he'll either be playing ball elsewhere or just retire completely.
my hot take is that he should be in the G league for a while until he either gets a jump shot or some confidence. Better than him averaging 6 while getting embarrassed being left open from 3
Right??? Like if it's mental health he needs to rebuild confidence. If he needs a jumper send him down to work on it. Literally the best solution starting Brooklyn in the face.
What he needs is an older brother to beat some sense into him. How the f are you in the NBA and not wanting to improve. Only a jackass wouldn't want to be a great shooter. It will make your drives easier and help extend your career. He is a loser.
4:15 this just shows that the 76ers front office doesnt know how to scout for talent. They just go with the consensus top picks cuz everybody in the media says so. Had they done their due diligence they could've had jaylen brown and jayson tatum. Instead they chose ben simmons and markelle fultz.
I believe that fire in Ben is now, and quite possibly forever, gone. It’s obvious that when you watch him, he’s clearly distracted and has freezed himself up when he has an open lane. He’s just gonna play out the rest of his contract and go into early retirement.
Man, the Sixers were able to really squeeze all the juice they could outa him before it got bad...remember when people were saying they lost the trade and now the nets are locked in a max trade for the man they can't put in a rotation... lol rough.
Harden didn’t do anything wrong except get injured, otherwise they would of won the championship. Besides that he saw the sinking ship and bounced before it got bad
Looking at the footage from his time in Philly to now, it's clear he's not nearly as aggressive as he used to be. Putting the ball to the floor, bumping players in paint penetration, the zero hesitation he had on his scoring attempts. All of these things are missing from him now that he used to have. He looks like he just needs to think he's HIM and he could make a comeback.
"It is more about them than it is about the team. Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot coach with them. Can't do it. I want winners. I want people that want to win."
He will retire within the next 4 years. His contract will expire. He may get 1 more chance on another NBA team, but it won’t last long. Then he will be out of the league for a while. He won’t sign to play overseas or in the G League thanks to his stubborn pride. And ultimately he will retire once he realizes the offers are coming in. He’ll blame it on his back or something for a while. Then after some time has passed he’ll go on a media tour criticizing the NBA for not helping him with his psychological problems (completely ignoring all the league has done and would continue to offer him as a retired former player).
I disagree. All these problems that caused him to fail were in scouting report before the NBA. The weird thing about that back injury is he wasn't even playing when he did it.
when he was sitting out on the 76ers i heard the 76ers beat writer on a podcast explain that ben simmons loves celebrity and money but could care less about basketball................and it is clear
I'm honestly curious. Why does everyone like Christian Wood so much? Every time he gets the ball he will always look for his shot, even if the help defender collapses towards him, he will find a way to chuck up a shot instead of passing to the open man. He always plays one on one basketball. I would rather have Powell in the game who plays team basketball and also plays better on the defensive end.
That’s not a thing. Idk why ppl keep saying that. That works on the Warriors in Kerr’s offense. Plus Ben doesn’t do anything if he doesn’t have the ball and he doesn’t roll. Plus Draymond’s mentality helps him fill that role.
Hey man, I love the videos.... but your audio is really bad. There's too much low end when you're speaking, like there are some problematic frequencies down there. Don't know if it's the room, the mic, your levels, or what. It's bearable (still unpleasant) on larger speakers, but my smaller speakers actually buzz when you're talking. Could possibly be cleaned up with a parametric eq?
It’s the NBA fault. They are the ones who paid him. If you were him, would you turn down the money? Who would? What’s he supposed to do? Tell them he doesn’t really like basketball anymore so he isn’t gonna take their money? If I was him, I would have taken the money too. Why would he stress about sucking at basketball? He never has to worry about anything again. Never has to pay attention to bills. Never has to give up plans due to financial reasons. He has total and complete freedom to do what he wants, when he wants, for the rest of his long life. You could take almost a whole stadium of people booing him, add up their income, and he would be making more. He doesn’t care he sucks and isn’t trying. He doesn’t care the fans and TH-cam videos think he sucks. He doesn’t have to care anymore. He never has to care about anything again. Good for Ben Simmons taking advantage of a bunch of suckers. He isn’t stealing the money, a group of people who consider themselves very smart handed it him. A sucker is born every minute. Ben Simmons took advantage of that. I wish I had the same opportunity.
Terrible audio mixing in this video, poor splicing. I wanted to watch a video critical of Ben Simmons but instead I became even more critical of your video editing skills within the first three minutes.
Can Ben comeback?

at this point he’s getting paid 30 million a year just cause he’s 6’11
To think that analysts were saying that the Nets won the trade when it happened.
People keep saying Sixers chose Harris but it was actually Simmons over Butler.
I loved Butler on that squad. Always hated them letting him go.
@@edelmantoamendola I didn't get it either. I'm on the west coast though so only saw that team in thr playoffs.
4:15 this just shows that the 76ers front office doesnt know how to scout for talent. They just go with the consensus top picks cuz everybody in the media says so. Had they done their due diligence they could've had jaylen brown and jayson tatum. Instead they chose ben simmons and markelle fultz.
I believe that fire in Ben is now, and quite possibly forever, gone. It’s obvious that when you watch him, he’s clearly distracted and has freezed himself up when he has an open lane. He’s just gonna play out the rest of his contract and go into early retirement.
Ben Simmons just invented a New Way to Rob a Bank! Lol Lol
Gotta 'Josh Smith' the guy and send him on his way.
Mr triple single himself
Please watch Watchman on the Wall 88 and Watchman River and Tony Su on TH-cam
Ain’t that draymond?

I subscribed bro. Great content!❤
Maybe we need russ and Ben in one team and maybe will be work
Imagine that
That would be awesome if that happens 😆
Ben and Russ shooting threes in one team
Narr, Russ at least tries.
i'm no fan of russ but at least he tries to actually play basketball.
Corny
Work🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man, the Sixers were able to really squeeze all the juice they could outa him before it got bad...remember when people were saying they lost the trade and now the nets are locked in a max trade for the man they can't put in a rotation... lol rough.
Give that money to someone who deserves it.
I really feel bad for the nets though, they really had to deal with all the drama from kd, kyrie, harden and simmons.
They asked for all of it. Why you gotta be a bleeding heart and feel sorry for them. Joe Tsai is a clown.
rockets lost harden for a failed dynasty
Idk about Harden. I think he didn't want to deal with the Nets drama and that's why he wanted out.
Harden didn’t do anything wrong except get injured, otherwise they would of won the championship. Besides that he saw the sinking ship and bounced before it got bad
Simmons killed the Butler/Embiid 76ers. Which thank god! Jimmy is a perfect fit in Miami and that organization.
Solution: Sit Simmons; play Yuta.
It feels like Ben Simmons has just given up too. Even with the bad injuries it just feels like the fight isn’t there.
Looking at the footage from his time in Philly to now, it's clear he's not nearly as aggressive as he used to be. Putting the ball to the floor, bumping players in paint penetration, the zero hesitation he had on his scoring attempts. All of these things are missing from him now that he used to have. He looks like he just needs to think he's HIM and he could make a comeback.
Sorry 😢 bruh Benny done ✔️ ain’t no comin back from no balls
he just doesn’t care , written in his eyes
"It is more about them than it is about the team. Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot coach with them. Can't do it. I want winners. I want people that want to win."
I said this since the sixers drafted Simmons. He'll get one big contract and when that expires he'll be playing in China.
He will retire within the next 4 years.
His contract will expire. He may get 1 more chance on another NBA team, but it won’t last long. Then he will be out of the league for a while. He won’t sign to play overseas or in the G League thanks to his stubborn pride. And ultimately he will retire once he realizes the offers are coming in. He’ll blame it on his back or something for a while. Then after some time has passed he’ll go on a media tour criticizing the NBA for not helping him with his psychological problems (completely ignoring all the league has done and would continue to offer him as a retired former player).
Embide would have two championships had Ben never told the sizers trade jimmy
Great vid. 👍🏼
That back surgery & passing up that dunk took away his confidence
I disagree. All these problems that caused him to fail were in scouting report before the NBA.
The weird thing about that back injury is he wasn't even playing when he did it.
I can't believe I just watched 8 minutes about how bad Ben Simmons is. lmao
Not the no shit Sherlock after he said he shot bad from the line that got me giggling
i'm at work while i am watching your content
Even the Shanghai Sharks won't take Ben at this rate.
The Sharks are in play off contention, maybe the Ningbo Rockets might give him a go but.
when he was sitting out on the 76ers i heard the 76ers beat writer on a podcast explain that ben simmons loves celebrity and money but could care less about basketball................and it is clear
Can you do about Christian Wood being benched by Kidd and letting Powell play significant minutes ? Thanks !
I'm honestly curious. Why does everyone like Christian Wood so much? Every time he gets the ball he will always look for his shot, even if the help defender collapses towards him, he will find a way to chuck up a shot instead of passing to the open man. He always plays one on one basketball. I would rather have Powell in the game who plays team basketball and also plays better on the defensive end.
Ben Simmons is trolling the entire league. That dude got his bag and stopped caring.
He has always been a liability
As a lifelong Sixers fan, you hate to see it but more importantly, you love to see it.
Nets gotta use ben like the warriors are using Draymond, might work out
That’s not a thing. Idk why ppl keep saying that. That works on the Warriors in Kerr’s offense. Plus Ben doesn’t do anything if he doesn’t have the ball and he doesn’t roll. Plus Draymond’s mentality helps him fill that role.
Dray can shoot tho
How’s that going to work when he’s a liability
Hey man, I love the videos.... but your audio is really bad. There's too much low end when you're speaking, like there are some problematic frequencies down there. Don't know if it's the room, the mic, your levels, or what. It's bearable (still unpleasant) on larger speakers, but my smaller speakers actually buzz when you're talking. Could possibly be cleaned up with a parametric eq?
And now markelle fultz is now better than ben
Philly, coaches, and Media babied Ben saying he didn't need to shoot. Shame on you all who gave him the Rookie of the year over Mitchell.
He’s in his own head so bad, I feel for the guy
I don't, he brought it on himself
Maybe he never love to play basketball! Thirty seven million for two years guaranteed, he has the bags.$$ Mascot on the Nets bench
It’s the NBA fault. They are the ones who paid him. If you were him, would you turn down the money? Who would? What’s he supposed to do? Tell them he doesn’t really like basketball anymore so he isn’t gonna take their money?
If I was him, I would have taken the money too. Why would he stress about sucking at basketball? He never has to worry about anything again. Never has to pay attention to bills. Never has to give up plans due to financial reasons. He has total and complete freedom to do what he wants, when he wants, for the rest of his long life. You could take almost a whole stadium of people booing him, add up their income, and he would be making more.
He doesn’t care he sucks and isn’t trying. He doesn’t care the fans and TH-cam videos think he sucks. He doesn’t have to care anymore. He never has to care about anything again.
Good for Ben Simmons taking advantage of a bunch of suckers. He isn’t stealing the money, a group of people who consider themselves very smart handed it him.
A sucker is born every minute. Ben Simmons took advantage of that. I wish I had the same opportunity.
Terrible audio mixing in this video, poor splicing. I wanted to watch a video critical of Ben Simmons but instead I became even more critical of your video editing skills within the first three minutes.
“ A very practical response to you being ass” 🤣🤣🤣
$37 million, that's the reason he's slacking. NBA teams should pay these athletes based on their performance.
Why is 75% of beepers not subscribed?
Good content
😂 Ben is used to being the best in the Rec without shooting. Doesn't translate to the NBA so well
