Georges Niang On Ben Simmons' Holdout in Philly 

Finally someone being honest about Ben Simmons

Fine psychological work here from Richard Jefferson: never been a superstar, so he knows how under appreciated you can be in a superstar driven league. Here he starts praising a very modest role player like Niang to let him feel good and subsequently open revealing unedited and unpublished details about Ben Simmons. The transition to the media world for Richard Jefferson is now complete. Bravo!👏 👏 👏

Maxey’s drive in Ben’s body…imagine that. Ben wasted his talents for a bag. When he could’ve balled out and gotten like 3-4 big deals.

Cmon guys. You've got so much money. Keep the echo out the damn mics😂😂😂

Loved niang in Philly man he's all heart

Niang is always welcome in Philly. He balls.

I love how he kept it real. Ben was so frustrating. I still can't talk about him without getting frustrated. All we wanted him to do was..... Wait for it .. shoot the ball 🤷 i remember he made that three when Joel made him shoot and the arena going crazy!!!!! Smh we didn't care if he made em like Curry. Just shoot the dam thing. Smh. I still need therapy 🤦

I always love players that wear their emotion on their sleeve out there like Niang. Wish he was still with Philly.

Boy I thought that was Austin Rivers in the thumbnail 😂

Rj was definitely thinking of de'anthony Melton when he said shake Milton was a defender

If Ben worked hard and loved basketball he would have been a HOF easily and been a top 5 player. He had the size at 6’10 to run the court like Giannis, he could pass the ball at an elite level, and he was an elite rebounder as well. He should have been able to average near a triple double. His scoring is all he needed to work on. If he developed a post game he could have easily averaged 22-23 points and if he got some type of jump shot it could go higher. He really should have been an all time great player with his talent vision and size

5:09 (whispers quickly) "am I not important?" 💀😅

It’s crazy out of that Tilton HS squad of Nerleans Noel, Wayne Selden, Gerard Coleman, Goodluck Okonoboh ….Niang the one that’s still in the league

That was SO refreshing 2 hear an NBA player keep it totally 💯 regarding relationships with other players (especially Ben Simmons). Normally they’re so politically correct and phoney (ie. JJ Redick). Ben Simmons has no one 2 blame with how his career has turned out but Ben Simmons and I have no idea why people have coddled him 4 so long. It did nothing 2 help him…it just enabled the piss poor attitude and approach 2 the game. Grown men need the truth; not yes men.

thank you George for your honesty.

Even Ben was pissed. Piss his pants.

LMAO bruh ben got paid millions to go to work to watch his co-workers work 🤣🤣

It’s a true team sport, passing the ball to someone and trusting them can help them help family and community 🙏🏽💎

Who remembers the technical Ben Simmons received when Georges Niang annoyed the hell outta Simmons

Miss Georges in Philly

“I get about 4 of those a game” lmao bron is wild for that.

So glad he spoke on this.

He didn’t bring that toughness or them corners 3’s he was talking about to Cleveland.

Did he say Shake Milton was a defender 🤣. That was the funniest part of this discussion.

Ben was incredibly good. It's a damn shame how his career has turned out.

Niang just became my favorite player. Forget the stuff he even said about Ben and listen to his cadence and all, brother is just having a great time and being honest

richard jefferson is the deadpool of the nba

Underrated segment

RJ sipping his drink after he said Ben Simmons name is funny

Niang is chill.

i love niang. we miss you in philly

this is exactly why star nba players aren’t good podcasters. if this was paul george he’d just say “nahh.. that’s just the business tho” but role players can have honest conversations like this

Just saw Deadpool and Wolverine. RJ is definitely the Deadpool of all the nba analysts- straight hilarious, savage and just talks so much but in a funny way. Keep up the great work roadtrippin! 😂👏🏽🐻⬇️

Sorry but are we forgetting all the time RJ spent defending Ben Simmons over and over again (likely he was on the Rich Paul "train")? Where did that all go?

He was obviously hurt he hasn’t even been half the player he was since he left Philly

He looks in better shape in the off season

0:19 this is exactly why Naji Marshall is a good pickup for Dallas because he was always in this mix every time the Pelicans had an altercation

Ben Simmons is a certified bum with no heart ! Pssy 4REAL!

Fix the mic editing in this, turn off the other mic's when someone else is speaking loudly otherwise you can hear the bleed

MA legend 🗣

Where’s the Bill Walton special? Luke, Richard, & Channing haven’t addressed it. Just re-posted the old interview

Bro stood on business here!

George must have forgotten about grabbing Jaylen Brown’s knee from the bench when he said he doesn’t do anything dirty

pretty refreshing to hear a non-political perspective about simmons. never loved the game fr

That's interesting. The money got longer to spread to people. RJ was defintely solid and Channing literally became a Stretch 4. These dudes deserved that. Channing Frye also had one of the coolest names ever 🔥🔥

Ben had the potential to be the next Magic Johnson but he just didnt care enough to even be as good as himself anymore

I built my PG in 2k similar to Ben. I’m 6’8”. I can’t shoot and beat up on other PG’s in the post. I dish it like J Kidd. I rebound and defend like prime Kobe. Best of all, I’m not a scared to shoot.

This dude always gave me life off the bench in 2k. Shit,I would start him sometimes lol.

As a sicer fan, I'd welcome niang back with open arms.

This dude looks and sounds like DJ drama and i can't unsee it

BANG BANG GEORGE NIANG!!!!!

Niang was fr scared that bron would end his career there lol

Who remembers when they we’re roasting niangs physique

common yall... how much would it cost a mic you clip on your shirt?

Tell him to keep the mic stable

Niang built like the off-season ~ TheHeziPharaoh and Ben Simmons

He was frustrating as LSU. Complaining about class & $ before NIL, but wouldn’t spend the time to be above 70% from the fucking free throw line? That’s garbage

Georges is gorgeous 😍 New fan🎉

I always saw this dude on 2k and thought he was a fake person. 😂😂 he real.

They disrespected Ben. I don't blame him, not 1 bit 💯💯

I still don't see how anyone can be upset with Ben. He literally had 2 back surgeries. There is not a single person or doctor that would clear back surgery unless you need it because your back will never be the same post

Just when I thought I couldn't respect him any more, "Bang Bang" just went over the top with his Simpletons take.

Im not mad....the league finessed countless players, good job Ben

This dude is by far the most hated. Theres no way i could be a billionaire and not have them taken dudes runnin around Ben compound

the minivan!

Everyone knew they hated Ben Simmons

I've yet to hear someone compliment Ben Simmons after his Sixer years. All I hear is them telling safe answers, but not real compliments.

Christ almighty Richard Jefferson, let the fuckin guy talk

Gorges mad because Ben not playing made him have to actually work harder😂😂😂. God aint make you 6'10, get over it

That game where Ben didn’t dunk on Trae he literally kept them in the game through assists and other factors not points

Ben has talent but didn't want to work...But the crazy thing is Australia doesn't even have their best 2 players playing..Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving. Now that's a gold medal..Back in 2016 😉..

I really dont know how, in Ben Simmons mind, he can accept tens of millions of dollars and not play because he's depressed. Mental health aside, I don't understand how his mind still sees himself as a victim and entitled to that money.

Mr brick merchant George trying to talk 😭

Ben Simmons come back next year?

At this point, Ben is just funding his fashion career with NBA

Ben to the NBL 🫢

RJ will carry on JJ Redick's Content Legacy 🙏

Ben dude will be out of the league if this season he doesn’t stay on the court but we shall see 😂😂

I’m not on the payroll but I’ve been in Ben’s shoes on a much smaller degree. Man Ben dunking all over that mf. The only thing I hear in this video is “Ben shutdown and I needed him to get paid”. Yo, show the team you’re hungry (not literally in your case). Show up in good shape, you’re shooting yourself in the foot depending these millionaires to get your stats. Bro brought the ball up one time and I haven’t seen him do it since.

Dude was uber fat at the playoffs. Hurted the Cavs

It's time to start calling him Bench Simmons

Minivan was the man lol

Ben Simmons is the first work from home NBA player. What's wrong with that

it is pronounced "peer-ick" victory, otherwise that is an interesting term to use!

Say what u said about Miles Bridges and he should never touch an nba floor again, I bet u won’t say that to his face

JJ Redick would have defended Simmons here

This might cost him his career. The league is filled with Ben Simmons

If I see a singular comment saying we caused his downfall I swear

RJ cussing feels cringe

Ben made bank and nyang didnt

I think Ben has his problem, but being mad at him for not being on the court so you can make more three is just petty. 👎

Ben Simmons is everything wrong with the NBA in one dude

Same, i didn't love Ben, HATE his fans. But after a certain point it got old beating up pn6 dude. Like drake now, I think we trampled his corpse long enough

Proof that Ben Simmons really was being a jackass in Philly.

What's with NBA players trying to act tough like they are out there brawling every night 😂??

The sound is awful lol

Fix the echo amateurs

BUMMMM SIMMONS

Everybody on the league who ever tried to help and counsel the ashat bensim finna got frustrated. He doesn't wanna improve or get better or heal and get over with whatever drama he has. He just wants the money

That's...not what a pyrrhic victory is
