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

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

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

I mean that's the million dollar question that the media should be figuring out.........

He obviously has and can do it, so why won't he? Hence me mentioning that there's something deeper going on with him that needs to be addressed. I don't believe the SAS rumors bullshyt because we've seen the exact opposite previously.

 

[inndaskKy]

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

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

I know very little about Ben but he does have some of those vibes around him. I'll tell you, a shy narcissist cannot handle/accept any form of criticism and would absolutely be capable of responding to the team telling him 'you're being traded, oh whoops, no you're not' by consciously sabotaging the team and certain people on it in a passive aggressive way.

They are extremely petty and lack remorse.

Ben is just that guy who shows up to work does the Bare minimum

I bet if you told him to shoot 10 times a game or he'd be bench hed take exactly ten shots a game

Half those dudes are playing for the Guangdong Southern Tigers right now. It's way different vs actual NBA talent in crowded arenas with actual pressure on you.

It still doesn't negate the fact that he's actually trying, which is something he's obviously not doing right now.

So again the question should be why isn't he? That should be the media's job to actually figure it out instead of rambling about useless speculation. Why would they though when they can get easy ratings by joining in on the slander?

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

He went from John Townsend as a shooting coach, had him shooting over 70% free throws in postseason and changed on Rich Paul’s suggestion to his brother Liam Simmons. So story believable

Like I said Klutch is the culprit.. Ben need to Bush them nikkas ASAP

 

[pete clemenza]

Its all mental. Him passing on that dunk was the final straw. Hope he gets the help he needs as I don't like to see players get ripped to this level

Main reason I stopped criticizing him after initially clowning him. Something isn't mentally clicking and everybody clowning him can't be helping him when we all know this is partly a mental issue.

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.

So what if the sources are truly sayin that the reason is he’s babied and entitled? What sources do you has stating it’s the family situation

You don't go from trying to not trying at all unless there's something else actually going on

Again unless you just think he is a narcissist (a whole different issue altogether) who just doesn't give a damn about what people say about him, then obviously there's something going on with him as to why he won't try and shoot like he used to. And if you do think he's a narcissist, then obviously his fukked up family dynamic plays a part in it.

No. He's more famous for what's goin on in Hollywood circles than the play on the court. if he wants to "get his mind right" that's not typically the place to do it..
