Stephen A. SOUNDS OFF on Ben Simmons | NBA Countdown 

Right

@Jack Walker LSU - Quit during March Madness against Texas A&M. Australia - Has refused to play for Australia since being cut in 2014, even though he's been eligible. As a result, missed out on Bronze in Tokyo last year and could've helped the squad at Rio when they lost by 1 point to Spain in the Bronze medal match.

@@sigmajaxquinn what kind?

@Sigma Jaxquinn trade Ben for pizza pie,u bugging on the donuts

@@dreadxplayzs7849 with pineapple?

Where

@@waynesmithoswhen he ghosted the sixers

All of the veterans wanted him gone.

Fr😭😭

That tells you he is doing it on purpose. The nets should fine him for getting ejected

He averages a triple single

@@dupreehundo3070 bruh hahahahahahaha

That was Draymond’s numbers for a couple of games in the finals last year SMH

@@Riles3152 😭 facts

Basically broke his leg running to the locker room

Simmons could care less about basketball, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s told someone - “I’m just here for these big easy paychecks”

Is it the kind of arrogance only a rich kid can ascertain.

Nets won the trade?

Nets got robbed, whole front office needs to be fired.

I thought y’all was toxic but na bruh he’s hard to root for sometimes

Idk man philly fans would boo the Second Coming of Christ

Facts

@Jay T he got drafted in 2016.

I'm surprised Embiid didn't put hands on Simmons.

Never lol ! Hahaha been watching this movie since trust the process

Exactly. Another fellow Sixers fan. We saw this BS for years. His rookie season in which he played was his best year by far. This dude cares more about money, his outfits, and these IG models than he does about playing basketball and he's getting paid a ton to do absolutely nothing but not care about how he plays.

We literally told them all and they made us out to be the bad guys, now they seeing it for themselves bc Ben never challenges himself to be better

Can you imagine he wanted the Sixers organization to pick him over Embiid to be “the guy” for them going forward?? Where would we be if they fell for that 💀

@@dougfunnys7778 if ben could shoot he would have enough space to operate and he is big, has vision, and handles plus defense he would of definitely been at least been too 10

It is hard to watch that dude play basketball, he just passes the ball and stands there and watches other guys take jump shots coz they won't even guard him...he looks like he just wants to show up to court and get away from the court as soon as possible. I gotta agree with SAS, I think he is only playing for money. There are players on the Lakers team that should be in the G-league that play with more heart

I just dont get him man im outside looking in but even if you cant shoot you can post up drive who cares if you miss ft just be agresive your gonna get layups and dunks and you 6’9 can handle the ball

Facts💯

SAS and ESPN didn’t say anything about the Nets when they were winning games. Now that KD is out and they are losing games, here SAS & ESPN comes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Why are they still showing Lakers games if they are not even a top 12 team in the Western Conference? 😂

SAS was the one giving him the passes.

Philly fans tend to go overboard both ways. Everyone can suck or Jahlil Okafor was the next Tim Duncan 😂

@@d3vp131 lol

@@d3vp131 oweeee u bringing the skeleton out with that one

@@d3vp131 Exactly. Look now. Throw out Doc when they lose a game. It’s all Doc. When they win they go into hiding. Anything you get from them shout be treated with salt 😂

@@d3vp131 Over board or just give the brutal truth? Like c'mon now it might be rough but it ends up being true, sorry you couldn't handle it the first time but its life.

Hahaha even my granny is better than this phony guy

Didn’t watch but I totally buy it. Wouldn’t be surprised if it came out either way

He whispered in the ref ear I will give you hundred dollar bill if you eject me when I sit down.😁

He just wanted play call of duty

Ultimate bust.

Yea he didn't want that pressure of playing late in the game especially when you don't have your big gun.

Bruh what 😂

Yeah definitely he's still eligible so that might do it🤣🤣🤣

The joke isn’t funny anymore

@@derrick1909 he didn’t play for 2 years, so most def eligible 💪

@@zacgrasl4229 yes it is 💪

😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He said 113 baskets with only 2 outside the paint, not defending him tho I effen hate that man

113 baskets

😁😆

He was

@@AP90x even if he had the jumpshot he wasn’t gonna be lebron

@@jordansmith5046 lsu ben was different iykyk

@@jordansmith5046 his skillset is why people said that, if he had any passion for basketball he could have been another lebron

This is one of the funniest and most accurate things I’ve ever read 💀 I’ll never look at SAS the same again

U just called him a muppet 😂

Holy mother of Christ! Lmfaooo that just made me fold over 🤣🤣🤣 waaayyyy too accurate!

Lol

He be sounding like a villain lol

They will go crickets again

Because drama gets viewssssss

Bravo fam

That’s inaccurate, you just weren’t listening 😂

No you just weren't listening to their coverage

Feel you

Lol he's right harris is garbage trade that bin

Kd picked this team this on him lmao

@@Alk-rk6yu so he traded for Ben Simmons??? I believe he wanted harden to stay troll

@@Alk-rk6yu ok media fan boy

"Ski mask way and the ransom note" Biggie

I love too hard at this 😂😂😂😂

underrated comment lol

I actually agree with Stephen A on most things. His opinions are usually spot-on especially when it comes to the NBA. But the guy is annoying as fukk. Even when he's right he's just hard to take.

This a 3 pointer leauge now and ben has refused to update his resume its kinda crazy how he's getting payed.

Can't hit a 3?? He can't hit a 5 footer. It's just pathetic how soft and non competitive this guy is.

@@jeffreyval9665 every point guard shooting 3's except ben,this what happens when a player don't go to the lab when hes off the court,Ben just stealing money and any real athlete can see that.

@@dreadxplayzs7849 yeah it's unbelievable!! Why the Sixers gave him that extension is beyond ridiculous. Should of got rid of him and Harris when they had the chance and built around Embiid and Butler ( who liked playing with Embiid and would of stayed if Simmons was gone ) but of course they made the worst possible decision and gave this guy everything and never held him accountable for his decreasing play every year and finally when he had a complete meltdown and played possibly the worst series we have ever seen against Atlanta and pretty much was solely responsible for that loss not only did his soft and weak style of play get exposed but his ridiculously soft and fragile ego also got exposed because of a few very very light criticisms from Doc and Embiid and he acted like a spoiled brat instead of trying to improve his game. He's just an arrogant pos that's scared to play with any type of physicality and still horrified of even attempting to have anykind of offensive game other than wide open dunks even layups are a problem for him if there's a defender anywhere near him. A guy thats almost 7 feet tall and pretty big but plays like a 5'10 160lb player it's just pathetic how much of a waste of space and money he is.

Classic song

Yeah they'll be going out like a "Candle in the wind"

One of the best songs ever

Last time someone said something about Ben Simmons he stopped showing up to practice and refused to play

Yes he's definitely still an nba level player just on his defense and playmaking alone. Will he ever be a star again? Absolutely not

He is. But for the money he is getting paid, not playing anywhere close to standard

@@BBW590 he was never a star. Let’s not tell lies here . I’ve watched every game while he was on the 76ers and he should of been rid of 2 years prior to when he gave up

The only thing keeping Ben Simmons in the NBA right now is the Nets not wanting to eat that contract to get rid of him.

oh he definitely is NBA caliber player but not for 35 million. I mean Sabonis is getting paid 1/2 that.

Also as a Philly fan I must say “ah how the turn tables…”

They did not believe us. Now they suffer!!

Lol lsu fans tried to tell people about this dude too. They wouldn’t listen.

Yuuup

KLASSIK example of why “potential” is my least favorite word

They need to send him back home.

@@smifdaniggod need to send that boy to a construction site with all them bricks he’s laying

They can't they paying him too much

@@smifdaniggod back to Canada, Simmons. or Philly? Wait, idk if anyone wants him though!

Simmons would never agree on the G league the Nets rather keep him happy and hope the 3 years fly by

Hate to see it smh

That's why he the 🐐

Averaging about 6 points a game. The NBA might introduce the Simmons clause in contracts out there for when players do this

@@j0fiz986 I wonder how that would work though. Do they have to state a baseline stat that you have to average to get your money?

Almost as bad as westbrooks contract

This lets you know KD is the actual MVP of the league. I wouldn't be surprised if KD revisits that trade demand either

Kyrie to little for today's big gaurd athletic nba

@@ChikisaMal28 seems like KD and injuries happen every year now

@@richardmatthews2807 he has been playing for 15 years he needs to retire. Duncan retired at 19 years but should of retired 2 years earlier

@@marufio He’s averaging 30 a game and you’re telling him to retire 😂 i’m convinced some of you come to the comments just to hear yourself talk

Yeah but they got hottest when Kyrie returned. When Kyrie was out, it wasn’t cookies.

@@haywood0457 they didn't lose when Kyrie was out tho. Kyrie is 0-4 without KD. KD won 6 or 7 games without him

Quarter season MVP huh?

They were terrible when cryrie wasn’t playing, KaDy ain’t carrying nobody nowhere by himself. They got swept with kd and cryrie playing

@@haywood0457 Whoa whoa whoa! They started balling when Kyrie was out of the lineup. If I’m the GM, I would simply (and quietly) test the market and see what Kyrie would grab us instead of letting him walk in the summer. I doubt the Nets really wanna offer him the max.

Facts! He been sorry he's just getting exposed now.

@CoachDarren this is why I have trouble sympathizing with anyone that makes millions. Like you won the game of life and you want me to feel bad for you? Sad and depressed to play but quick and happy to cash that check in. Simmons, Kyrie, and many others it's ridiculous. Watch there will be a Simmons n Kyrie rule waiting for all players once the new CBA is negotiated. Owners got all they need to make games played a mandate for guaranteed money. And I don't blame the owners 1 bit

Can’t bad talk your employers business partner and still get paid. Don’t expect to ever hear anything

He will sit out and play the mental card

Nah he’ll wanna stay down there but keep the same contract

At least Russ will try and has a love for the game. He's just bad with his decision-making and shooting. Ben Simmons is checked out and won't even try to be aggressive or improve his game.

Claxton need another big man beside him

@@milosmitic2071 behind him

@@fn952 that boy not a true center... more like a PF

I said the same thing..Its so obvious at this point 🙄

For my Punt Points and 3s team, he's like 3rd round value. I ain't complaining

Philly really fucked up with that contract. He got paid with the hopes that he would actually work on his game. I don't know why the Nets took that on and thought it would be different for them.

I think they believed that when he was out of Philadelphia he would put effort into improving his game. Boy were they wrong though

Yeah this ain’t football

I was against this scam of a trade, sigh 🤦🏿😭

You're not wrong. I know there are lots of highlight packages on RU-vid that shows his Summer League. What a completely different player.

He seems to get worse every year

My favorite part about Jalen Rose is how obvious how real his hair is lol

Thank you! From a Philly fan
