Why is everyone in here hating on Ben? I understand that he’s had reoccurring injuries and that sometimes it might come off as him trying to “avoid playing”, but it was a great interview and he’s still a person at the end of the day
And he never put any of these expectations on himself, it has been the media and the fans that expect so much from him. Same thing that happened to Greg oden and he struggled with “failing in the NBA” for a long time
@@joefaulkner8437Whaaaa?.... Simmons took all that money- $40 mil per year - and he never expected to live up to the team's expectations of him to earn it through his play!? Are you saying that he was always a phony? You and I are on the same page because I always thought Simmons was a phony and he fell apart when he was exposed as such. Funny how he doesn't talk about his "mental illness" anymore.
I remember that he first started avoiding playing by claiming mental illness. That was after he sat out to get traded away from Philly after Coach Rivers hurt his feelings. When the team didn't buy that and still docked his pay he came up with a "back injury". He has had two elective back surgeries in which the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him. Simmons has used those back surgeries as a way to get out of the NBA with his dignity intact and now he's conducting those interviews to complete the narrative because he knows that the NBA is done with him after this season.
@@KillerJoe-p6r 2 selective back surgeries? Wtf does that even mean? You can see that he isn’t as athletic as he once was just from watching him play. Not saying he handled everything perfectly cos he didn’t but it’s v obvious he’s had serious back problems
@@KillerJoe-p6r change that to “elective” pls show me your source where the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with him cos you’re just wafflin shite
I understand people disliking him for not living up to the hype or not improving his game, but the idea that he's getting back procedueres done that he doesnt need to avoid playing part of the season is utterly insane.
Back injury aside, literally every facet of his game has dramatically declined. He was a 70% free throw shooter in high school, these days he makes Shaq look like Steph Curry from the free throw line
The internet is warping peoples minds into thinking they actually accomplished things in life. If yall had the work ethic and mental toughness that you guys portrait yourselves to have through the way you comment, I swear you wouldn't be working entry-level jobs or still live with your parents.
Internet trolls aside, the criticism is pretty valid. You have people with similar injuries who have to work and don't have the luxury of taking time off. Not to mention the millions of dollars, poor attitude, and lack of accountability.
@ prozach493 can you stop telling everyone how u live? We already know. Also, the rest of us have jobs and don’t live with our parents so what do you have now to criticize us for holding Ben accountable for his childish spoiled behavior
The back injury isn’t the issue, at every point of his career he’s taken the easy way out. The guy is blessed with all the physical gifts but lacks work ethic and doesn’t want to step outside his comfort zone. He was the number recruit out of high school and could’ve gone to any powerhouse college program but took the easy option and chose LSU which was a mid tier program with no expectations and where his god father was an assistant coach. At LSU he barely turned up to class and missed a game through academic suspension and then just spent the year going through the motions as his team didn’t even make the end of season tournament. He gets to the NBA and his physical gifts afford him a good level of success out of the gate but he has an obvious deficiency with his shooting, the Sixers organised for him to spend the offseason with Johnny Townsend who’s a renowned shooting coach with over 30 years experience but Simmons instead decides his own brother who’s has zero experience besides being a mediocre ex college player would be a better option to coach him. Over the years he’s missed more games than he’s played, snubbed the boomers where he could’ve had some actual game time to instead travel around Europe with his girlfriend. Pretty much every single player improves as a shooter from high school to pros, Simmons was a 70% free throw shooter in high school, he’s managed to almost half that percentage to 40%. He simply doesn’t care
@@joshf-w9602I completely disagree. You call it stepping outside of his comfort zone. I call it trying to change him. He was dominant just the way he was. A 6’10 Slashing 2-way Playmaker.

All he needed was a team that had a couple good shot creators and a stretch 5 or 4. Imagine Prime Ben Simmons on the Suns Knicks or Celtics 🤯
@ I’m not even talking about changing him as a player, I’m talking about personal improvements. After high school he could’ve gone to any powerhouse program but chose LSU, a mid tier program with no real expectations because his god father was the assistant coach, he then proceeded to not turn up to any classes and copped an academic suspension during the season, the rest of the season he pretty much just went through the motions as LSU missed the tournament. After his first full season in Philly, they sought out a shooting coach named Johnny Townsend to work with him over the summer, Townsend is highly regarded with 30 years experience and worked with many NBA players but Ben declined and instead chose to have his brother who has zero experience and qualifications in the role to be his shooting coach. Ben was a 70% free throw shooter in high school, he’s managed to turn himself into a worse free throw shooter than Shaq.
@ The problem isn’t his free throw shooting. The problem is having a point guard that can’t shoot free throws. But if you play him at the 5 his free throw shooting is no longer a liability
Its weird... old/young man and the three is predominately an inside look into players to help people understand the game and what its like. The amount of hate in these comments is weird.
@@kb5509why is he so disliked? Because he choked in a playoff game? That's never happened before. That he asked to be traded(after his coach and teammate threw him under the bus) no one, especially in the NBA, has ever forced their way out of a team. The man he was traded for, James Harden, has made a career out if choking in the playoffs and has forced his way off of three teams
What do you all watch sports? Do you really not understand The concept of a frustrating player? Look it's just a thing. Yes he made a ton of frustrating moves.

@msmitty709 he passed a layup and the all of philly hated him to the point of taking out news paper ads and burning his jersey, While he had 2 points and 13 assist, the main star in philly threw him under the bus dispite having 21 points (he averaged over 30 that season) and 8 turnovers, the coach threw him under the bus as well. You expect someone to have a whole off season of hate being thrown at them for an accident and come back ready to please master? He wanted out and since then he has had back issues to the point that he has had 2 surgeries in 3 years. Nobody is denying it's an ugly situation but to act like he is solely in the wrong is also comically unjustified. I'm not saying anybody owes him something, but I hope you kept that same energy with Derrick rose's post injury career.

He loves the lifestyle that basketball has afforded him but he doesn't actually love the sport and he's not tough enough to actually grind and get better at the game He's the poster child for why people think modern NBA players are soft
Nobody but Ben can't feel his pain. You can't judge someone else's pain level or tolerance. Let him play out his contract and see his options moving forward.

@ Let me also see you doing a spinal surgery (ok two in this case) for a fake disc injury (which can lead to being a paraplegic). Read up on Phill Collins who played drums for many years and now can’t walk properly post disc surgery.
@ I’m a disc injury sufferer for 30 plus years. I know a little bit about disc surgery. I’m ok for you to ignore my comments. Ignorance is your choice.
@@ebok33643 don't let it define you, man, sounding like a professional victim out here 😂
This channel will interview anyone lol.
Desperate times call for desperate measures
I mean, it *is* interesting. Fascinating at times.
"A journey into the mind of Benjamin David Simmons"
Its crazy ppl love to hate, its almost as if theyre friends
@thelastbonarek doesn’t seem like much is up in there
Love Ben
Victor Aguilar 🤣
Enjoy your last season getting paid $40 million for being a bum. Unless you want the veteran minimum in the NBA, get ready to go back down under or brush up on your Chinese
You're the loser they were talking about
Clock in bro
Oh look the same joke
Why r u giving this a bum a platform to sell his excuses. He's an embarrassment to the NBA. I expect better from u guys. SMH
Shut up
Grow up
Stop being a sook and actually watch the podcast
Bruh, you are watching him, and therefore, you enable his platform. Once you start clicking on stuff, do with him it will go. I for 1 only watched cause he is in it, and I'm interested as a previous Simmons fan.
@ GibranCamus-kr2dc you should be directing that at Ben. He is the one that needs to
Idiot Simmons had 5 years to get an jump shot yet refuse to work hard on he’s game. He deserves every bit of karma coming his way.
COME BACK TO PHILLY
U can’t be serious
@ I’m not
He’s healthier than Embiid…
absolutely NOTHING will change our perspective of Simmons and what a flop he’ll be remembered by.
Do you have nothing else in your life?
@ halkthe3th go f Ben if you are that desperate for him
@@halkthe3th Cant he have more than one thing in his life?
@@maxmeier532he clearly doesn’t have enough things in his life.
I want to see that medical record.
Garnish Ben's checks and you'll see how fast his back heals.
Thanks Doc. Appreciate the diagnosis
If your betting on Ben Simmons in 2025 that’s a tough look
Bum bum bumbumbum
Balenciaga Ben hoping he can show just enough so another franchise may consider giving him another max deal lol
He doesn't love basketball; you can see it. He loves the lifestyle that basketball has afforded him but he doesn't actually love the sport and he's not tough enough to actually grind and get better at the game
He's the poster child for why people think modern NBA players are soft
Facts
Wish he talked more on the court ffs. Let me guess my back not my fault. Etc etc
I better see some clickbait
There the NBAS MVP 😂😂😂
Bum Simmons
CP3 is the worst
My fav interview.... Ben is so great. Great job creating a space for him to open up.
Nobody but Ben can't feel his pain. You can't judge someone else's pain level or tolerance. Let him play out his contract and see his options moving forward.
is it worth the listen? ive been done with this dude for two years hoping he'd get better. think a lot of todays nba stars are just out of touch, the recent jimmy butler situation really doesnt help these guys images
Too many nebo babies in the nba.
@@amaanhussain3094 Not worth the listen just a puff piece to coddle Ben a little.
I'd rather listen to his appearance post-Philly with JJ, that's a laugh knowing he made good on none of his claims
ben simmons should never get another contract again. he earned enough to just go live life, give up the spot to someone who cares
@No Chill Gil
You have zero will to improve and win Ben. You have cheated the game
Yep, has taken the easy route at every turn
Make Box Hill great again, Ben! I'll throw in some TimTams if you do. 🎉
This man still shitty
Wow JJ left and now you’re begging Ben Simmons to come on? That’s crazy
Bum Simmons lol
Whatever Simmons says is just hypocritical
💎
Would yall rather have 40 year old LeBron or prime Ben Simmons on your team lol
@@Hotsauceonmy Id rather have bronny then Ben
