Stephen A. UNLEASHES on ‘PATHETIC’ Ben Simmons 🍿 | First Take 

That man is funny 😆

@Myke Mynah that's a lie.

Steve nash never said Ben was ready to play, only the media. Give time dude, give him time.

@Myke Mynah not always.

when you know its a lemon and still you buy into that trash car

Lol absolutely amazing

It’s facts too I can really see that happening Simmons is different not in a good way

Best comment, right here!!

You on to something 😂😂😂 They gotta do that for real

Lol you won the internet

An “actual” correct take 😂 So true, my friend!

Same here, everyone tried to blame the Sixers for Simmons not wanting to play in Philadelphia and used several other people as a scapegoat of why he's not playing. Glad the world is able to see the real side of this man

agreed. i was 1 of those people. makes me mad though cause he really is. i only believed that cause I thought he wanted out of philly but it seems Ben chases the perks of being an athlete without putting the work in. which is dumb because he has potential

LMAOO

😂 he’s had all this time off and still can’t make a shot

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

😂😂😂😂

Facts

Early on this season, it appeared that both the veterans and team brass were sick and tired of Ben Simmons. Now one sees why

They did the same with the Rockets when they traded Harden to the Nets. Everyone is slowly realizing the truth.

I think the rest do share blame on how things went but Ben Simmons takes the big part of the blame

@@yup1992 Please explain, because I don't see how they share in the blame at all. This is 100% on Ben Simmons IMO.

Antonio Brown comes close

Stephen A is a disgrace. Talk about playing for the $$$

I love Stephen A but I love disagreeing with him even more. Respect, but love to hate him (even though I don't actually hate him). What I'm trying to say, is I'm quick to take the opposite side when it comes to Stephen A Smith. He was 100% correct in EVERYTHING he stated today, and you used the perfect word ... Brilliant.

@@sharonelliott7905 huh?

@@sharonelliott7905 what did he say that was wrong? Please enlighten us

@@sharonelliott7905 might be safe to say Stephen A worked harder for an NBA championship this year than your boy Ben Simmons did 🤷🏻‍♂️

Okaaaaay, I'm reeeeeloooaaaaded!

Said no one ever.

Rare Stephen A. Smith W 😂

@@navimoondi7390 he get most of his w’s from the cowboys

kawhi

But with 10 percent of the intelligence!

On God. Ben Simmons really DO be looking like he stopped for Orange Mocha Frappuccinos on his way to the Barclay Center for game 3! 🤣

@@TMZahida226 he 100% did 😂

😂😂😂😂

You forget why Kyrie missed those games? He didn’t want to take the jab. That takes courage. If he and many others had bent over and taken it up the keister, we’d all be doing what other people tell us to do. You want that?

I'M A BEN Simmons fan ... and I'm beginning to think maybe Ben has some serious problems with his pysche.

I thought yall hated him...said he would go down hill now that Max is gone...what happened to that hate?

@@lightfight8r ur joking Right

@@Amor1990 thank you. Like how is he selfish for sticking to his guns, yet recognize the mandate made no sense that fans and opponents could enter the arena unvaccinated? If he took the jab they would’ve said he was selfish for not taking it for x amount of weeks/months anyways.

No, he's a clown who pretends to be an analyst, yet has NEVER spoken about X's and O's. Add his blatant racism, name calling, yelling, and political agendas, and you see nothing but a piece of trash.

Me too

Well that evident when he got drafted tbh I knew he had no love for basketball especially when kobe workout with him in the off-season. If kobe is not motivation to be better I'm sorry you don't belong in the NBA

While his counterparts Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Giannis ALL did training with Kobe in the off seasons before he passed. Now look where there games are at....Smfh

yup

@@stevenbrooks6375 😂🤣

He quit on Australia too for the Olympics, don't forget that.

@@MafiaboysWorld omg 😂💯

He soft

He probably quits on his chick too

@@nadecha5326 mid pump too 😂

The grievance against the Sixers is likely to be ruled in Philly's favor, from what has been reported on that saga, Simmons' camp did not give updates to the Sixers about the treatment plan to get Simmons back on the court.

The Will to Win 💯

Simmons has a serious back injury.................... his spine disappeared.

I saw a thing "since Simmons last played, Tiger Woods got in a car crash, broke both his legs, almost had one amputated, underwent multiple operations, healed from surgery, rehabbed, started practicing golf again, ramped up his training, and played the Masters"

@@MPHswayze golf is wayyyyy more different than basketball. Not defending Ben Simmons but come on.

@@killahoe650 it's not about the sport dude. It's about how Tiger had an era of his life come, and go, and come back again all in the time frame since Ben Simmons stopped playing because his feelings got hurt against Atlanta. Tiger limped down the fairway on surgically repaired legs the same week Ben Simmons wore a clown costume & sunglasses indoors

He actually said that??? What a clown 🤡

@@CafeMich whole team is full of clowns

That’s kind of a weird reason for you to jump on the wagon. Cause publicity? Even if no one was talking about Ben he still in the wrong.

The crazy part is he was “ready” now he ain’t ready I’m coo with being swept I just want him gone

@@trizzytray6300 the NBA should want him gone...

You don’t make sense and sound like a nut job

Its actually funny how much publicity he gets for both saying and doing nothing at all

Incorrect. This is hyperbole. Look up Jerome James and Eddy Curry. Nobody could ever be lazier than those two.

@@patrickoakley7890 nah you’re stupid bro. They wasn’t making money like Ben Simmons

He tells the truth about the cowboys

Zion is also looking to make a late run for the title.

@@patrickoakley7890 eddy curry played.. didnt take it serious but he played. Ben.. just wants the cake and eat it too.. FOH. dont pay him anything.

Not about Irving.. sorry

And they aren’t even injured

@@caseydouglas412 crazy ..

When was Ben Simmons ever a superstar 😂😂😂😂😂

Superstars play off ends of the court

Ben Simmons being called a superstar is like calling Amber Heard “trustworthy”. It’s a contradiction.

Bingo!!

I’ve been a Nets fan since 2012 and I didn’t want them to trade for Kyrie in 2019. I might be high af 24/7 but even I saw this coming, now there’s 2 of them on the team smh

@@dravidianking1298 I don't blame you because Kyrie(as good as he his) always have something up his sleeve.

Don’t forget Nash! Worse coach of the year award goes to him

@@kcakiid just like Frank Vogal with the Lakers, is not Nash's fault of where the Nets are right now but his not making them any better!

@@adriansmith5279 nah I blame both of them! You telling me you have KD and “Kyrie” and you end up 7th seed. He doesn’t coach and never deserved this job. The nets literally run iso ball all game and thinks that’ll get them a W.

No lies there. If he has the work ethic of Gianis or Lebron

You acting like he bad played all year , he just didn’t play

Scottie Barnes already surpassed Ben Simmons in one season.

Have you seen this dudes highlights his a beast

Nets will beat the Celtics- also SAS

🤣bruhhhh you nailed this one.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Hey mascot is likable！

No value is better than negative value.

@@keithjoseph128 by that logic, Simmons is Negative value: he's taking money w/o playing!

He didn’t! SAS said that Ben Simmons is bad for business.

Klutch is bad for the nba

Facts I think it rich Paul that telling him not to play

Klutch sports will be gone a soon as Lebron retires, every owner, agent and the NBA for that matter hates them with a passion.

To be fair, walls situation had more to do with the rockets not wanting to play him

@@JPNoro I don't think Rockets wanted Wall to play 0 min, it's because they couldn't agree on his role. I cannot recall another player sitting out a season not due to injury, buyout or being waived, can you? If not, it's fair to say we're in an uncharted territory.

Can't lump Wall in with these clowns he wanted to play. Houston didn't want to risk his trade value or their draft position. Zion and Simmons would rather play video games though.

Leave kyrie out. He would have played if not for stupid NY Vaxx rule

@@joshuabilly584 that's a fact, can't blame him not wanting that bs

simmons just took it upon himself 1st of all when he is still in Philly he is a laughing stock and a meme for being a rookie of the year for 6 years, that says alot

Thats against the supersonic. They went up against the jazz 97 and 98

@@masteryoda7372 I stand corrected

Ben is worthless to the nba at this point

...but at when the trade for JH was made for BS, Curry, Drummond and picks, Steven A said that the Sixers lost that trade and that Brooklyn w/ BS, KD and KI were gonna go to the Finals!! JH for Curry, Drummond and picks? Not bad.

Lol you gullible fools. Us Sixer fans warned you of his and Klutch’s lying antics.

No cap, I gave him the benefit of the doubt too

I don't think I have agree more either to my knowledge

I've never agreed with him till today

Cause you’re a kwame brown Stan

Literally not on fire.

@@dashrirprock you must be fun at parties huh

And they don’t have to put up with Ben Simmons’ Drama

Also. I'm Sixers fan the way I see it. Come this Offseason the Nets have more work to due then the Sixers. Because the Nets got so much mess to deal with. Kyrie, Simmons and unfortunately Steve Nash!

Harden at least tried to play hurt last year as well. Simmons seems like he’s more scared to play than being to hurt. He ducked the whole season.

Dude, I'll take 20 and 10 from Harden any day.

@@adriansmith5279 facts people thinking he’ll be back next season like that’s a win. They about to be over the Cap next season KD gonna be a year older and Kyrie gonna be Kyrie, we don’t know what the nets will look like next season. Plus can we even rely on Ben when he showing this now. Imagine next season if the pressure gets turned up on him again. He gonna be ghost all over again. Philly with the big W on the trade

Fanduel definitely cashed out 😆

Ben Simmons and Westbrook had other plans

Me too!

Can stop guaranteed contracts they are about to lower the max contracts u dudes say anything

This is going to be an ugly cba

There are a lot of times Stephen A speaks facts it's just uncomfortable for people to hear.... They're so used to people just praising athletes for showing up to work like every other paid person...He called out Westbrook last year and people said it was hate...🤷🏾‍♂️

Facts not one lie you said

Well worded

Play defense, pass the ball, and get rebounds. Contribute something and work on his game. NO, that is asking too much from a dude that hasn't play all season. The back injury was fake. He's not hurt, just scared to play.

LeBron 2.0??? At least LeBron worked on his game and was never afraid to be out there

@dadsa if you actually watched the games and not have revisionist history, LeBron got better when he went to Miami

dadsa Do not insult Miami LeBron and say he was on steroids when there was zero evidence of him using it.

@dadsa please give me a source when lebron was on steroids

Ben Simmons never gonna recover from this😂

Just seeing the pain that Jay Williams was in seeing an athlete in PEAK condition actively REFUSE to play because his feelings were hurt was enough to make me angry. Jay had his career taken from him before it really even began. He couldn’t play at all even when he wanted to. Simmons can play but chooses not to because of his ego. Horrible to see.

How can Ben have back issues when he’s spineless?

But how did he get a back injury if he hasn't played one second all season? He had to pass a physical for the trade to go through. I work with guys pulling the same thing as Simmons, they want to get paid but they don't bother showing up for work. Whether a guy is making millions of dollars a year or thousands, it's the same mentality.

@@jlv3x He hit a pothole while driving around NYC.

Yes hth a yng healthy man get backpain without playing comepetitive sport...

Exactly 💯💯

He used that excuse for both the Olympics AND FIBA. The man is just trying to get paid as much as possible while doing his job as little as possible. It's ridiculous
