According To SAS Sources: Ben Simmons Doesn’t Work, Doesn’t Listen And Is Constantly Babied

[O.G.B]

And? He isn't the only poor free throw shooter in the league

The Coli's favorite "superstar" player Lonzo is a historically poor free throw shooter as well, yet it doesn't get the attention because he barely even gets to the line.

I will continue to say that you can't bytch and complain about Giannis trying to improve his game and become a better shooter, but ask of Simmons to essentially do the same thing. You either want those guys to play like a big man and be Gobert (who the Coli complains offensively about) or you want them to develop some semblance of an offensive game.

No, Simmons IS the WORST free throw shooter (%) in NBA playoff history!

Lonzo isn't getting paid $31M to be the 2nd best player on a team many considered a contender.

Or maybe breh just doesn’t give a fukk, or just being stubborn.

So you're essentially saying that he's a narcissist with no feelings or thoughts about the criticism that people is levying at him over the years?

 

[dizzy4111]

Simmons doesn't love the game, he merely tolerates it

 

[inndaskKy]

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.

People are legit spinning the narrative into breh being a narcissistic individual without even realizing it

I agree we can't know but Ben Simmons has those vacant stare eyes that are common in families with sexual abuse. It's that demonic porn look.

Salaries isn't an excuse when we got middle to lower tier players out here making $20+ million a season

Whatever is going on with him isn't normal and I don't get why people are trying to pretend that it is.

 

[LV Koopa]

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.

Now that I think about this may be true. I saw the scrimmage games of his 2 years ago and dude has a smooth jumper. He was pulling up from 15 feet like nothing and all net.

Why Stephen A. Smith, Skip Bayless or whatever are still being mentioned so often? They never played professional basketball and we are in the social media era where any former basketball player could make a podcast, a live stream or whatever and give their opinion...at least that would be from someone who played the game. Stephen A. Smith is a pre-written script show. His sources ain't shyt. A guy that's getting paid tons of money is not showing enough effort? Well that means he doesn't work nor listen to the coaches! Bingo, we have a source.

I posted a Summer League tweet of him actually shooting jumpers, so it's obviously something he can and has attempted to do. The media's job is supposed to be figuring out what's going on and why he isn't doing so?

We can't sit here and say that he can't be a jumpshooter when we've seen videos that show otherwise.

Current/Former players are dolling out trash takes as well, so it's not just non-players doing so.

Philly paid him. End of discussion.

They tried to trade him last year. Houston decided not to do the deal.


It is what it is. He’s set for life financially and Philly has no leverage.

so they might as well trade embid, blow up the entire roster and start a new “process”.

Trade an MVP candidate on a #1 seed in the middle of his prime because another player doesn't wanna shoot brehs

 

[GoldenGlove]

see these are the kind of narratives that make zero sense
why would dude purposely make himself into a meme. To get a "last laugh" on the media? The media are ripping dude apart and his inability to score is proving their agendas right.
It's more likely a Fultz type situation and the approach the sixers will make that Rivers alluded to is probably a sports psychologist

If he's like a narcissist then it's plausible. He seems to feel like he has it figured out and he'll go out of his way to prove his way is the right and only way.

 

[sean360]

So why does he not attempt this in the playoffs or regular season?
