Next Season should be his farewell tour. And every Arena on road games should show on the jumbotron highlights of him sitting on the bench in different fancy street clothes. End it with "THANKS BEN" and cut to him sitting on the bench in street clothes. Sums up his career.

I remember the talk: ‘who should the Sixers keep, Embid or Simmons?’ And a lot of the evidence said Simmons was the smart choice because he was more of a winning player. Damn shame

There is one thing in common that doomed the careers of Blake Griffin, Miles Austin, Reggie Bush, Kris Humphries, Lamar Odom, and now Ben Simmons: the Kardashians. Something about athletes once they get involved with that family just sucks the life out of them.

I'll remember him as a guy who simultaneously lost confidence in his game in a playoff series, something many players have gone through and suffering a back problem. But fans ignored the latter and blew the confidence issue completely out of perspective because their are a lot of a-holes on the internet. As someone who's suffered with back problems, they are debilitating and even when they are mildly annoying they still affect everything you do. I feel for the guy.

@djrt8179 4 ай бұрын

He lost his confidence in his 4th season, but for 3 full seasons people were saying "he's pretty good, but his lack of shooting is an issue". And he continued to act like he was better than he was, refused to admit that his lack of change was his problem, blamed the fans, and by year 3 of actually playing everyone knew you could sag off him because he couldn't shoot and he became a joke. Great defender, great passer, but changed zero about who he was and because of that he became the most predictable player. I don't care about the 40 point game with Embiid out, I don't care about the defensive stats. He was such a hole on offense, especially in the playoffs, it was a joke. In 10 years he'll be most remembered for sitting on the Nets bench in the clown outfit.

⁠@@themetalpig7613he literally refused to play even though he was healthy and under contract. Just bc he was exposed and embarrassed. That is the ultimate disrespect to fans. He might not have “blamed” them but he definitely doesn’t care about fans. He’s made comments about fans booing, he said it’s funny to him that fans care so much. He thinks he’s better than the average joe. Ben Simmons really has no redeeming qualities.

A lot of talk about the yips/mental side of the game, but the back injury was just as detrimental in my opinion. His whole game was built on being a 6'10 guy who moved like a guard, could defend 1-4, handle the ball, get to the rim, etc. He just looks so stiff now whenever he plays on both ends, doesn't have anything close to the mobility he had pre-injury

This is sicko shit going back this far. But i still think about this segment and i gotta get this out lol I was still in PA when Ben Simmons played his first active season and I remember watching a Sixers game against the Wizards in the gym and they gave up like a 25-point lead down the stretch from ben getting hacked at the free throw line. So they almost gave it up but got the w. After the game in an interview I remember he was asked if we should be worried because now it's an exploited weakness and he said and i QUOTE "You dont have to worry because I'm gonna start knocking 'em down, so" And i thought about that interview every single season he was on the team.

Just doing my annual Fultz defending... he didn't forget how to shoot, he had a syndrome in his shoulder making it hard to raise his arm... also I feel sympathetic towards Simmons, as far as we know in the public eye he hasn't done anything to deserve this tragic career so I hope he can bounce back just in life in general

@cog4533 4 ай бұрын

A syndrome that developed from a motorcycle accident in the off-season before joining up for his first pre-season. It compromised his shoulder and has seen him unable to adjust his form to get the accuracy he showed in college and youth basketball. Real shame.

I think people will remember he was really good. There have been plenty of NBA stars who have fizzled out early due to injury or mental issues. We usually remember that they were great at one point. We remember Andrew Bynum, Deron Williams, Larry Sanders, Roy Hibbert, Brandon Roy, DeMarcus Cousins, etc. I'm not saying that those situations are comparable or that all of those players were at exactly the same level. But my point is that I think we're better than we think at remembering context.

Sixers drafted one guy who didn't know if he shot left or right hand, another guy who forgot to shoot and a third guy who always underperforms when the pressure is high. Simmons had 4 all star seasons (counting ROY as one) and then it cratered like few have done.
