Could be. It also could be that he's got his max deal secured, plays well enough in the RS that he'll continue to get a bag going forward so he can concentrate on fukking with IG hoes and being young and rich.

Not everyone loves ball and is willing to put in the work to actualize all of their potential. Might just be a job to the guy.

Still doesn't explain why he's not even attempting to be a shooter. You don't have to put in the work to at least attempt being a jumpshooter. He's not even trying at all, so it's obvious that something is going on that needs to be addressed.

He literally can just run and dunk on everybody like Giannis. Because Ben is strong as shyt, has handle and decent footwork. He can get 15-20 shot attempts off of dunks and layups. He’s going to get fouled of course but shyt, split the free throws and KIM like he’s been doing all this time. He clearly doesn’t give af and is just coasting.

Instead of the media casting stones at Simmons, why don't they actually do their job and find out through "sources" what's actually going on with him. I will maintain that it's something deeper going on with him and not just the yips or being scared to shoot.
Didn’t his sister say their half brother molested her?

Yep, the brother that he seems to be really close with.

It's a fukked up family dynamic that wouldn't surprise me in the slightest has effected his basketball performance when his mind is elsewhere.

Usually I am annoyed by players who chuck shots inefficiently.

Ben Simmons is possibly the only player who is held back through his own timidity.

I agree with Gilbert Arenas. Take more shots or sit your ass on the bench. I understand Simmons has value besides shooting but you cannot willfully shut down that part of your game. It essentially makes your offense 4 vs 5.

I wish the best for everyone, so I am not going to shyt on the breh. I just hope he uses this moment to put the work in and get better.

This is where I’m at with it now. I probably went too far slandering him on this board. It’s clearly some mental & physical things going on but mostly mental imo. Hope the young breh puts in work and sees a psychologist.

meh, dude is a part of klutch and works out with some of the hardest workers in the league.
Every offseason simmons posts footage of him working on his game and playing with other players in LA. Before sixers games even he is putting up jumpers and making a lot of them
also what does working on your game have to do with putting up shots. I'm an A.I stan but that never stopped him from gunning. It's obviously something bigger than him being lazy. It's Fultz 2.0 but for whatever reason no one is talking about that possibility and going with the lazy narrative that he's fukking models and going to clubs like 99% of the nba doesn't do the same thing



Gilbert said he'd sit Simmons down, tell him if he doesn't shoot the ball 15-20 times a game he'd bench him.

honestly i thought this was one of the main reasons to bring in Doc Rivers. Seems like Rivers is just like Brett Brown and everyone else and unable to do shyt about it

People keep forgetting and overlooking that story about his family months ago. What if it effected his performance this season and has caused him long term issues that hasn't been addressed? I will always insist that it's something deeper than him being scared to shoot or having the yips.

nah
He’s the exact same player he was at LSU. He hasn’t grown at all. You can’t use that excuse

I'm not excusing it, but there's obviously something going on with him that needs to be addressed that's more than just yips or him being scared to shoot. There is a summer league video floating around of him actually shooting jumpers at one point and time, so obviously it's something he can do.

Figure out why he won't, which is supposed to be the job of the news media.

That's why I wish the media would actually do their job and figure out why instead of slandering him with speculation and heresay. If they figured it out with Fultz, then they can obviously do the same with Simmons if they put in the work to figure out why.

We didn’t need sources to come to that conclusion. It’s pretty obvious.
