Silver just let him get a way with. Ben Simmons should be made an example
Why? Sixers foolishly gave him a new contract despite not showing any improvement and then Brooklyn foolishly thought they could do something with him. At this point if GMs want to keep giving him money even though he looks like he has no interests in playing basketball that's on them. At some point they need to be held accountable for being bad at their job :camby: :camby: :camby: :camby:

The nba is stupid. Silver should be protecting the league from incompetence

I never seen a guy destroyed his career intentionally like this

1st pick, max contract, dating famous girls…to pretty much the most shyt on player in history like nobody has a good thing to say about him

I think about a guy like Brandon Roy watching a player just not even want it just wasted talent
while he can’t even play

He just doesn’t love basketball

He loves money. And he got paid to do nothing.

Why wouldn't he do this? There is no consequences

I think at one point Ben did care but what happened in Philly with the fans, Joel throwing him under the bus, Doc, etc pretty much destroyed him mentally from a humiliation pov to the point where he gave up. He's not even trying, I still believe there's a good player underneath what we're seeing from him but it's too late for him to mentally recover.

As someone who has interacted with Ben while he was in Philly, he is legit weirdo and I partially blame his parents for coddling him which shows in the one and done documentary. Add to the fact that he really lacks self awareness and you have a recipe for disaster

I wish him nothing but bad luck going forward and he will never be the player he was in Philly

That's pointing fingers at everyone but ben which I can't cosign.

Doc, Embiid and philly gave him a very long grace period before they started shytting on him and the only reason they did was because he didn't show the WANT to improve and realize his potential.
