Former NBA Players On How WEAK and SOFT Ben Simmons Is 

i totally disagree, he knows full well what he's doing, and you know people around him have said that to him, broadcasters have said it. I think he doesn't care a bit, its just about himself.

Should be more like NFL contracts, not guaranteed

They gonna pay the players only for the games they play but then they gonna complain about injuries and most players are gonna fake injuries they will always use back pain.

So what ? As if NBA players needed more money lol wtf kind of argument are you even trying to make ?

It's pretty stupid to just give a guy tens of millions of dollars and not mandate he does his job when he's physically capable of doing so.

😂😆

GOAT comment

So sad. I hope he recovers. Thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

Lmao 🤣 🤣

@@artvandalay13 and all of his ex's.. fun fact lol. He has more ex's than 3 pointers attempted let alone made. Haha 😆😂😆

lollol just say kevin durant is trash y keep playing the guy that didn’t play this is crazy…ben tired of getting blamed fr everything dude didn’t even play the team had kid n kyrie n y’all blame the guy that didn’t play….. this is crazy

@@beankobe8205 No it isn't. He has a max player contract. His defense would have helped immensely. Own up, Ben Simmons is a whiny yet very rich celebrity.

With the huge guaranteed contract, no he won’t because the women come for the money and not the character.

@@beankobe8205 you don’t understand basketball…

@@orlandow1723 i don’t know basket ball cuz kyrie n kd lost a series and y’all blaming be. simmons the guy that didn’t play..,philly said he was the problem traded him n still lost…stop hating on ben

I just heard from Kobe in heaven.. he said “ben is a pussy - facts”

He wouldnt waste his breathe on ben simmons..

He did before anyone else when Simmons was growing up, when everybody was guessing it was too early to criticize him. That tells you how wise Mamba was and how goofy Ben was to dismiss Kobe’s critics

Kyrie as well

"Soft" -Kobe Bryant

I’ve been saying this forever. At the end of the day Ben just wants the lifestyle the money gives him. If you’re going to pay him…..why play? Especially when you’re Ben and you don’t love basketball

I'm not sure who the guy in the interview was who spoke about how all these NBA players came from very humble beginnings and know what it takes, but pretty sure Ben had (at least) a solid middle-class upbringing. Looking at the likes of Klay, Curry Brothers and Payton Jr: they all had pretty well-off backgrounds and they aren't spoilled or entitled like this guy.

@@christryst Simmons dad was a professional baller in Australia. He was privileged his whole life.

@@Unpackaged_VinylNaw he gets this entitled attitude from his white mom's side. Hid dad prolly had heart and worked hard

@@moerange6032 You wild Moe 😂

I agree with this Ben is a scumbag using a mental health narrative to hide from explaining his failures.There's a difference between a real mental health crisis and everyday life peer pressure n anxiety and Simmons has neither he just don't care about basketball

🧢🧢😭😭🤣🤣🤣

Jeremy Lin is not that good anymore.

The 76ers need some shooters next year 😔😔

@@sharoncook5883 🤣🤣😂

@@JuhstynS at least he would play

Good call.

Mental health wasn't even mentioned at first, only after the Sixers didn't pay him Klutch tried to paint the 76ers as a bad organization.

Ben got the bag. I don't think he cares if he gets another one because a max contract is what, $180 million. He should be set for life. Ben doesn't love basketball, but he loves what basketball can give him.

Great comment!

The Kardashians curse. It happened to Lamar Odom, Blake Griffin, this year it was Devin Bookers turn (see game 7 Dal-Phx), etc etc.

he is n elite playmaker top 5 defender the team had kd n kyrie n yall blaming ben 🤦🏽‍♂️

Words of wisdom.

Jump shot, the nets would take a lay-up here and there at this point SMH

@@beankobe8205 You can't be an elite playmaker without a jump shot. Otherwise you get Spurs like defense on LeBron where they force you to be a shooter only it's a lot worse b/c he won't shoot the ball b/c he has no jumper.

I mean Isaiah Thomas lost his sister during the playoffs & he took the Celtics to the ECF

Amen brotha

To add to this, injuries are a serious thing, but A. Hurting your back from doing absolutely nothing is bullshit and B. Even then, some of the greatest performances in nba history have came from injured players. Pistons IT legendary 25 point 4th quarter in the finals, Kobe Bryant winning at least 2 different rings despite being his leg being deliberately injured (2000) and playing through a broken finger and bum knee (2010), Willis Reed taking down the superteam Lakers, basically Larry bird's entire career in the second half. Moral of the story, tighten the fuck up Benjamin

I didn't know. This. Comment just brought tears to my eyes. I love cp3 for that 100

@@dwaynejohnson4048 yeah man I grew up 30 minutes away from where CP is from. When the news with his grandad hit, the whole state felt for him he was already a big name. But after that game, and knowing he did it intentionally, he was goated in NC a long time ago.

called out*

He’s freezing

Haga

"Pathetic" -Michael Jordan

„Dipshit“ -Me

Agree with you.

💯

There's a player's union that won't stand for that even though it's a great idea. This gutless bum making north of 30 mil per year is a travesty. I LOVE the fact he went to LSU same as Shaq! Shaq's gon' ride him like Zorro.

does he get paid when he's not playing? if he is then the league got to stop it. David Stern wouldn't be letting anyone to pay this boy, Adam silver needs to do something

@photag216 Exactly.

He can play for China

I honestly think a trash no effort team will pick him up, league is stupid

@@booya2k That's an insult to Chinese leagues. As much as they're inferior to EU and NBA Leagues, at the very least athletes there put in great work in their craft.

- That bit from Rex Chapman on LSU's Simmons w/ Rich Elsen: Simmons lacks competitiveness and maturity. Dang, spot on. As a LSU supporter, it's pretty demoralizing. "When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom" -- Proverbs.

hopefully he'll learn today. other players out there willing to die for this

Not every player does that, but you've got a great point. I sell real estate, and I ALWAYS sell more homes when the bank account dips below a certain point. That's why I love players like Giannis. He consistently works SO HARD, even though he's already been paid.

He never had competitive integrity

You had me until the end. His back was not hurting. He used that as an excuse.

If his back hurts he shouldn't be playing, end of story. The question opens up when we start asking if his back really hurts or not.

For all the shit Harden gets, he was out there last season against the Bucks.

Blake was about the celebrity and spotlight as well unlike Ben he showed up and played. But let's not pretend Blake wasn't all about the spotlight too

Thank you. Appreciate your support.

@@WilsonSy all love bro 💯

@@WilsonSy You deserve more subs Wilson, you have no business on having this kind of subs. You have a good content and you deserve better.

That’s nothing…. I was there when we talked about making this channel 😶 😂

@@KY-YE I was there when his parents conceived him

Larry Bird's father who went to work with a foot that was black and blue. Ben Simmons is a (female dog) and a diva. He should change his name to Kardashian.

Welp couldn’t of been that “fake” cus he had back surgery 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@sexyirishmamii Lol, you can have back surgery and not necessarily require it. Especially when you're a millionaire. Him having surgery doesn't legitimize anything.

@Orbite Flow I didn't say that he didn't need it. I just said that he might not necessarily require it. There's also a good chance that he doesn't "need it" at all though. And if he did need it then why is he just now getting it done after a full season of inactivity? Come on y'all..

Lets go Celtics!! NBA FINALS C’s vs. Warriors!!!

Brown is an overrated bit** too.

That dude did not get the vax. He is wrong.

😂🤣😂😢😂

New Jersey is a cursed franchise.

Michael Jordan would eat Ben Kardashian Simmons alive.

There's stories about how he would complain to his parents that he didn't like his youth basketball coach and they would simply take him off and find him another team that he liked. His parents enabled him from the beginning. So why not do the same thing in the NBA?

People saw this coming for the kids was even drafted and it didn't stop anybody from moving forward with him. I wouldn't be surprised if the dude never plays basketball again and never intended to. Just trying to rip off that last bag from the 76ers, fuck over future players and then peace out. And he'll have more social media followers than ever.

@@jamesmiller5331 yeah but even with all that, there's not a team in the NBA that would have passed on him with the #1 pick. The Sixers were the unfortunate ones to own that pick.

@Kevin Green oh yeah it's the same guys you run into in these comments sections that will tell you they are "pro player, no matter what" How virtuous. 👏 I hope they keep that same energy when this deal with Ben Simmons absolutely fucks over the rest of the players going forward.

@@philalexander7902 that's the crazy thing. The Tell-Tale signs of immaturity would not have scared off anyone from picking this guy🤦‍♂️

He's a Kardashian.

He’s just no damn good as a person

It’s called pressure

And Kobe, god bless his soul, caps it off better then anyone could

😂

You must be a scumbag too. They stick together

🤣

😅🤣😂😂🤣🤣

I agree!

Started at age 15 and now the Nets might cut the cord on him too

When deciding whether to date a girl, I always look at her skillset and size.

Ben Simmons is not a genius. There are 3 types of players in the NBA. 1) The players who do alot for the league... 2) The players who are just happy to be in the league... 3) The players who the league does more for them.... than they do for the league. Ben Simmons falls into the 3rd category. (ie The league does more for him than he does for the league.) Translation = He is just the type of player who loves what 'being in the NBA' does for him. It enables him to have millions of dollars in his bank account. It enables him to be a celebrity & to hang out with other celebrities. It enables him to get women without any effort. Those are the things that are important to him…. Actually 'playing basketball' is waaayy down on his list of priorities. And when you compare Ben Simmons to other players like Steph Curry, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, LeBron James, etc. you quickly realize that all the of greatest players did more to expand the fanbase of the NBA (worldwide).... than the league did for them. In other words, their impact (overall) on ticket sales, championships, charity work, merchandise, fandom, sportmanship, team revenue, business partnerships, etc..... was far greater than the amount of money they got paid in NBA salary.

lol lol y’all just don’t wanna kevin durant is trash…so y’all blame the guy that didn’t play🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Spot on assessment. Unfortunate reality is he probably doesn't want to work on his game and take those shots every single day

Thank you

But nobody elite wants to play for that toxic owner

@@tommyboy0208 We'll see

Hey that's an insult to the volleyball team!

Lebron is a Lefty but shoots right handed Its all about mindset how much do ya want it? I fractured my right hand the day MJ made all those 3 vs Blazers Been a Lefty since but still write right handed, ambidextrous at mostly everything as well (save bowling Lefty, reverse spin right handed lane too) trust me its quite a sight

@@aceassn716 same bro (I'm writing right handed but shoots left handed) but lebron is different from ben Jalen Rose even said that.

@@aceassn716 plus, there are many youtubers who are concerned about Ben if he is really shooting in his wrong hand.

Oof that'd be brutal

He made his money so yes he gives af everything… then should be the Ben Simmons rule exception for NBA contracts, ‘NBA teams can fire any player who likes to scratch his dick and getting money for it’

Wiggins was way overhyped too but he isn't a gutless quitter. Zion is fat and injury prone and AD is made of China.

Kidd became a serviceable shooter later in his career. Simmons knew he needed to develop his jumpshot and did nothing to inprove it.

Me too
