Stop all the Ben Simmons hate. That man was the most important player to Atlanta's deep playoff run.

Bruh

just as julio jones on the falcons helped the eagles get a super bowl win!

That first half I was so confused

As a Sixers fan, I concur with this message.

"Mans is getting 33 Million dollars a year for being 6'10." 😂😂😂😂

@Codeword AFL correction: Ben Simmons was a great defender like 1-2 years ago.

Tbf Simmons is a very good defender

@diego chavez ben simmons is still recovering from injury - on the low

@Ben Carlson kwame was worst

@diego chavez reminds me of Andrew Bynum. Really talented but didn't give a damn about paying basketball.

Shaq could beat this man in a free throw contest

That’s big cap

Curry could literally wear a blindfold and beat him at the free throw line or anywhere else on the court.

*three point

You don't have to do him dirty like dat

Ben Wallace too

I was at the game 7 against Atlanta last year where Simmons passed the ball instead of dunking. I was sitting no more than 30 ft away and even before that it was obvious the entire game, but especially the 4th quarter, that Simmons didn't want any part of having the ball in his hands when they needed a basket. The second after he passed that ball, there was a feeling throughout the entire arena that Simmons just played his last game as a Sixer and GOOD RIDDANCE!! We gave that dude YEARS of patience waiting for him to just attempt shooting the damn ball but he never did. Then had the nerve to try and make it seem like Philly fans are to blame for why he can't play in Philly anymore. Softest professional athlete I've ever witnessed

What Bout d booker?

@ILLUSIVE SUSPECT mind You the person who he passed up the shot for was trae young... literally just had to hold the ball above him and lay it in. And still passed it up for a bad shot 😂

I didn't understand why everyone was upset about 2 points but it sounds like it was the straw that broke the camel's back

wow. well ben simmons hit rock bottom. maybe he's just depressed lol

This video literally hurts. Every line hits home. As a Sixers fan, this is exactly how I feel. And it makes me want to cry.

Man I couldn't help laugh about Butler and the 3rd stringers. That's why we love Jimmy!

@Fleet admiral 3-1 2016

@Jordan Newberry I don’t care if Jimmy lost that scrimmage by a billion, the point is he’s got confidence in his game, Ben doesn’t.

@God warriors owned LeMickey 🥱🤢 How does it feel knowing he won’t have more wings than Kobe let alone Jordan 🤣🤣

@Fleet admiral lol hater u how does it feel that lebron has probably beaten your team in the playoffs millions of times

@Jordan Rozich 🤫

Not sure if I commented this on one of your other videos before, but I don't even watch basketball or even care about it. But for some reason, I love your videos and even subscribed awhile back. Great content, great writing. And it most definitely appears that you do your homework and are extremely passionate about the game. Much props!

same i don't watch the NBA but i love these videos. they're fantastic for explaining context to someone who has no idea about the topic beforehand.

Well spoken. Great storytelling in his videos and great voice.

@Stefan lol Right... I only know the "superstar" players. And when dude makes those charts to show off one dudes stats compared to the league... Always gets me. Good shit... But damn, dude must live and breath this sport. lol

Lmao I'm the same. The MJ videos hooked me.

He’s like the exact opposite of what I’d come to expect of Australian players.

@Oso 11 Kyrie was born in Australia but he isn't Aussie

Simmons and Kyrie are both Australian and both of them seem to like just not showing up whenever they please

He’s half Yank so we don’t claim him anymore 😂

Don't worry he is the exact opposite I'd expect from an Aussie player. Not that I can call him that seeing he declined to play for aust in the olympics

@Markus Kidd OK, my mistake

One of the few times I absolutely loved Doc rivers being brutally honest over Ben Simmons. Normally I dislike about everything he does but this is damn gold 😂

Seeing everybody move further and further away, with each free throw, is the funniest thing I’ve seen in sports

Fun fact that every hooper knows: if you get the ball and everyone just "lets you shoot" or that one dude says " let him shoot" your odds of missing are tripled

With the exception of Curry

@PuffDoe wrd

Yeah lol I know what I'm doing and someone says "shoot it shoot it" fck that sht

Facts

Nah that's actually when the sorry dude end up with the first 6 points of the game..like when they always say awe RIP him the guy with no handles always ends up with a crossover lol

“The man turned around and won back to back championships” Thanks to the team trading for Pau Gasol and listening to Kobe’s demands for better teammates. Had they not done that, Kobe was gone from the Lakers

Jxmy seemed to forget that part. Kobe went live on a radio show in the summer of '07 and said he wanted to be traded. It looked bad. In the middle of the next season, Lakers get Gasol. Without him, Kobe ain't winning no back-to-back chips and 3 straight Finals appearances.

I think what's most irritating is the fact that he's content with where he is. He had a horrible performance against Atlanta in the playoffs. Philadelphia could have dumped him then and there, but they were nice enough to stick with him. HE was the one who refused to come to practice. He showed blatantly that 1) He didn't care about his performance being lackluster 2) He had no interest in improving his skills. When you get paid tens of millions of dollars just to play a sport, you don't get to say no to improving your skill set. I think that's what made people mad. There are lots of regular players who work a lot harder than Simmons does and get paid less. A good comparison would be Nikola Jokic. That guy works his ass off, is a consistent producer, and makes everybody on his team better. Simmons is not even close to being as valuable as Jokic, but he was going to get paid the same.

Ben was so shook in the playoffs last year, I haven't seen a player choke so bad since Nick Anderson FT bricking parade in 95 against my Rockets lol.

@b. lukito It was bad but he was at least trying.

Peja Stojakovic game 7 2002 vs Lakers

If you watch it like that sports doc on that magic team you see he was important to them he was like their third best player until they got Horace and he was developing and as soon as those free throws happened it's like it lived with him for the rest of his career and he could not escape it.

@Luke Cage Or when JR Smith dribbled out the clock rather than executing a sure put-back on the rebound from Hill's missed free throw, in the 3rd Finals, Cleveland vs Golden State.

Nick Anderson's ft% went from low 70s to 40% a couple seasons after. Those free throws ruined his career

Jxmy’s videos are too good and I can’t say it enough. Man puts real quality into his videos and it’s always amazing tuning in.

100% agree. Unless you get injured, you really can't work with your teammates, or some kinda emergency, you don't get an easy way out just because you don't feel like it.

I respect your grind Jxmy!!! Keep it up

I’ve always thought the NBA should do something similar to that of the MLB’s qualifying offer rule and attach draft compensation to players that move via FA. I don’t see the NBA doing that though because in the MLB, it has stripped player empowerment for a lot of mid tier players.

your videos are so damn good. Wonder if now hes essentially gotten exactly what he wanted he will develop his game. cant wait to see him back on the court

Wasn’t he literally refusing to play for the Nets as well lol

Lol this aged well

Damn this is the most well written 10 minute roast I've ever seen anyone do

@deaton Bruh 💀

I swear we have the same exact taste in YT content bruh

5:25 yo please tell me what this exact beat is called ive been looking for it for months.

@JxmyHighroller 5:25 yo please tell me what this exact beat is called ive been looking for it for months.

@JxmyHighroller IMAGINE SAYING WERSTBROOK CANT SHOOT BUT HE NEVER SHOOT LIKE DURANT VS BOSTON 29% AND 31% FG DURANT AND CURRY ARE WORST SHOOTERS THIS PLAYOFF !! WESTBROOK IS GOD TO THEM !!

I feel like a lot of this could be fixed with a depreciating trade clause that the closer to resigning the player is, the bigger chunk of his expected salary the player has to give back to the team. Example: player signs 5 year super max and wants to leave in year 2? 40% of the rest of that contract back to the team for signing and dipping. 3rd year? 20%. Last 2? 0%. Etc, etc.

@Daddy Fuse The days where a team had 100% control over a player is long gone. Elephant in the room that no one's addressing? Ben Simmons' antics is ruining future players' contracts. Owners will think much harder before giving a supermax.

@Krusty Krab Pizza You branding it "slave ball" isnt an argument. Yeah, I fully believe if you sign a contract to play for a team for 5 years, you have to do it. They didn't force you to sign. Slaves never signed anything, and they sure didn't make 100 million.

Just don’t give a guaranteed contract.. split it up evenly thru the years.. and base it in performance..

@Krusty Krab Pizza as opposed to players backstabbing organizations just to ring chase leaving small market teams to rot in the metaphorical NBA hell? If anything we need a middle ground but both sides of the spectrum are shit options I agree with you there

So you want it to be back to slave ball where the team controls everything about a player?

This is one of my favorite jxmy videos recently. I keep coming back to it and quality is unmatched

thats whats so impressive every video this guy does his editing is spot on , and the commentary im impressed. hes getting alot of views smart kid

I know the Hawks players were smiling at each other watching them bricks fly 😂

Jimmy needs his own 30min show on ESPN…dudes commentary is impeccable!

no his voice is only for Youtube.

Nah. He should be on Bill Simmons Basketball podcast at the ringer.

Ah don’t it jimmy ESPCNN will drop you in a instant when you become inconvenient to their narrative

Nahhh. Espn would not let him talk the way he wants. I like Jimmy here where he is free and not a Disney soldier.

Why? Conventional media is dying , why would he go on failing network while he has gold mine on his great channel

Jxmy, standing ovation mate! Great work!

Congrats for Almost 2 mil subs I’ve been seeing you since you had like 5000 and i hope you continue with your godlike content

I still remember when the wizards started to heck Ben and people in my country started to complain saying it was unfair with him (idk why, but in Brazil a lot of people like the 76ers) it was really funny to see a so called guard simply no hitting a free throw.

I know I ain’t built for the league because I would smooth sit on my $177 mil like a throne and just be like “I did my best.” Lol But excellent piece man! Very well researched and relayed!

Giannis and the Bucks is a perfect example that drafting and developing is still a viable and authentic way to win a chip

Look at the two teams in the finals right now. Boston and the Warriors built their teams through the draft, and the two best teams not in the finals, the Bucks and the Suns are draft built too. The league is moving away from Super teams. The Nets and Lakers seasons goes to show why

Yeah but the chances of drafting such a talent is rare. They drafted the best player in the league. The mavs drafted Luka and they are still a ways away from winning anything.

Celtics doing it now

@AJ Ye no not really

@Warrens Walkthroughs even the warriors now with poole

As usual, well written and hilarious ✨❗️

The problem I always addressed is that not every talented player will eventually turn into a superstar. What if kat was a great defender? What if Zion shoot 45% from 3? What if gobert could pass and shoot like jokic?

@STPbasss i dont know to be honest

@Jewish kd What do you think of Ben going to the Nets? I think it will be good for him.

@Jewish kd free throw line is 15ft it's not longer in the NBA

@STPbasss you think you can shoot 60%from the free frow in an nba game with a way longer free frow

There is a difference. Nobody is saying Ben can become Steph or somebody in shooting but a guy getting paid that much should at least be able to shoot better than people at your local basketball court. Random guy's who play basketball for fun can outshoot Ben. I can probably out shoot Ben especially at the free throw line. I barley play and I shoot around 60 to 70% from the line with barely any practice. He can stay the way he is nobody cares, it's that ridiculous contract that he doesn't deserve. He plays like a 10mil a year guy not a max guy. I agree not everyone will become a superstar so he sure as hell shouldn't be paid like one. I find it dumb that he can't work his ass off and get better at shooting when he literally does nothing but play a freaking game and he gets handed insane money for absolutely nothing.

This video aged phenomenally. Ben is on the nets and is still feeling entitled.

Im from Michigan but I still really wanted Kyrie to stay with the Celtics. I saw Chris smoove talk about him resigning, and I was really excited to see how they would preform.

This is what exactly Michael Jordan said. "On our era, players get paid on what they contribute on the team. In this new era, players gets highly paid just because of potential, and it results bad work ethic because they already got what they want."

MJ was also paid more yearly than most other teams had for their entire salary cap. On the other hand this was the contract he got after coming back from his first retirement. Also players are getting paid more for less productivity compared to the 90s because like most other leagues, the salary cap is mainly how the NBA distributes their profit sharing, which the players paved the way for back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s by continually fighting for bigger slices of the pie. I guess my main point is that MJ is right, but not exactly for the right reasons. Execs will pay for potential because if they don't, another organization will. If that player ends up turning their new team around, the team that let the player go will look idiotic as a result. Additionally, over the entirety of pro sports, more and more players are playing just for the money. Not all of course but a number of players are content just going out and playing so they can collect the contract pay. Especially in leagues where you have to stack the deck in your favor to have a realistic chance at a championship most of the time, the majority of the players understand that they're not winning a title and want to ensure they get something out of the game they put a lot into

@Beede Bawng false

@diego chavez There's a video of NBA stars from then and now. They ALL assert that Jordan would average 40-45 ppg in today's game. Some said he'd easily average 50. Cope harder.

@Tony Sanchez he means that if someone is tall and can dunk, doesn’t mean they have the dribbling or shooting or basketball intelligence to be talented.

Exactly. no need for a drive to max talent if already paid for it.

I'm from the future after seeing Harden's Game 6 choke I wondered why Simmons got all this slander for missing a layup. I think the Nets trade might work for the better just because of how dysfunctional the team is and no chemistry you can only go up

What really gets me is that I watched Ben Simmons at LSU. To this day, I believe I miss the memo that said Ben was an automatic lottery pick. The kid had skill, but lottery pick? He looked like a promising D-league'r at best. His inability to shoot wasn't new, and he's not even a reasonable combo or point guard.

They were banking on his potential as a defender and a passer, plus his size gives him an advantage in the PG position.

I have a different take on what's going on with Ben Simmons. I believe he had the same problem as giannis. Giannis is better than Simmons so I'm not comparing the two in that reguard. But everyone said that giannis and simmons can only shoot at the basket and that neither of them have a jump shot. Everyone said that it would eventually become a problem for the both of them. How ever giannis took the approach, "I'll prove you wrong." Ben Simmons took the approach, "maybe your right." I think Ben Simmons let everyone get inside his head. Giannis was to head strong to let other people get inside his head. Ben didn't lose his ability to be a good basketball player over night. He just got inside his own head and started questioning his own ability to grow as a basketball player. That's my opinion anyways. I don't think it's just that Ben Simmons wants to bail on the 76ers and i think it's more complicated than that. He went from being a good player to being trash. Like when he had an open lane to the basket and passed it. It looked like he doubted himself. Other wise why didn't he just not catch the pass to him? Let the ball just fly by you if you don't give a dam. Don't even catch the ball. Don't even suit up to begin with

Great analysis. He's such a primadonna. Im not even referring to his current injury..he's within his right to sit out until he feels he is ready to perform. I won't argue that. It's just his attitude. Super entitled brat that shuts down at the first sign of adversity.

"Hope you all enjoyed" - As a Sixers fan I can't say I have. I defended that lazy bum for so many years, just to now watch him trash the only team that would've given him so many chances.

@Damica Marshall that, I definitely can agree with💯 To not have a shot at this point in the NBA is definitely short of efficient

@T I agree to an extent. Lazy probably isn’t the right wording here for his overall problem, that’s more of just who it seems. but his lack of work ethic to improve as a well rounded player could still be called lazy.

@Damica Marshall nah he’s in the nba for a reason. To you he might be “lazy” but at the end of the day he’s an elite level athlete that people are willing to spend those millions on lol can’t be that lazy imo

@T yeah but not everybody here is getting paid millions to be lazy

Im sure someone already said this but I stopped watching after you mentioned AD. Davis is a lot of things but he did not refuse to play in NO. The team sat him because they did not want him getting hurt.

Great vid, as a philadelphian myself, i have to say you couldnt be more on the money, we had to watch this team tank for a decade just to get ben n start building this new franchise, n believe me its an understatement to say “held hostage”, ben WAS suppose to be this franchise n we as fans and the orginization spent years, money, n players we shud have kept (cough,cough butler) on working everything around keeping him happy, n he literally shit on all of it in a half season😡, its bs he shouldnt just be allowed to play now, like “well im on brooklyn now my mental health is better”🤣, its setting a horrible precedent for future players in league, if he wants to cry wolf n USE a real disability people struggle with everyday to get traded, then i think the nba should call his bluff n force him to go thru psychiatric evaluations n stuff mandated by league before he can play again, its rediculous he can just say it, n then say he feels fine now that hes traded n play again by choice, he screwed the fans, the orginization, but most of all, his teamates out of half a season of being the team they shud have been all year, n now hes going to help our rival get “better” for 2nd half of that SAME season, how ethical is that lol, its all good hes never gonna have a quiet night in wells fargo center again believe that lol, n if its playoffs forget about it, hes gonna get booed out of building n i wudnt be suprised if some food n drinks fly at him too coming out tunnel, that 1st bk game in march is already like tix are thru ceiling $$ just cause people want to be there to get at him lol, n we dont even know if hes playing that night yet

I agree that players should have the right to “want out” of a situation/team. Especially since if you’re great you’ll be drafted into a shitty situation, however once you sign the big contract be a man and honor it!

all your vids show that you really like Basketball. I appreciate your effort dude.

He is literally "if I was 7ft tall I'd be in the league" actually made it to the league.

@Nik Petrovic The comment was going well until the last part.

@Desire Bullock Jacksonville is in florida???

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@ColonLess damn this makes so much sense to me😂💯

Y’all just be talking lol Ben Simmons is shitty shooter but damn he definitely is still a good player

1:56 Jimmy doing it the best way, got to respect that.

This dude roasted Ben in an intellectual way

I don't even play or follow basketball, but this video was so well made I subbed. Great commentary!

This is why Lillard will go down as my favorite Blazer. We probably won’t it all but he hasn’t backstabbed us like a lot of modern stars.

thanks for that roster continuity chart. i never saw that before but i knew how loyal SAS were. look at that roster keep percentage from 2004-2006 82, 84, and 87 %. Therein were the 2 season they went to the Finals back-to-back, winning 1. (MIA kept 92% that year, go figure.)

When I was growing up the NBA was just like he said, when you think of a team you'd instantly think of the superstar in that team and each team would have their ultra duo or lone wolf or whatever. Really entertaining, nowadays teams like the Lakers have Russell, LeBron, etc and its only getting worse

I think that's the part that gets me. Usually it's the team has treated the p[layer poorly in some way but they treated Ben like a king quite frankly when he hadn't even done anything close to earning it. They paid him like one too and the first chance he got he told them to kick rocks. He plays like trash and when he receives a tony bit of criticism it's too much though. Low key I think he's jealous of Embiid. Ben was the golden boy until Embiid proved he was the real star and things started to get catered to him. Ben seems like he resents that honestly which is a huge part of why he wants out so bad imo. He wants to be the star of the team. He doesn't want to be Robin to Embiid's Batman.

Simmons is like that one guy in PE who was super good at running, but whenever the teacher made you do literally anything else he would pretend to be injured so he wouldn't look bad doing something he was bad at.

Jimmy in my opinion was justified. He was playing with guys who weren't giving it 100% while he was putting in 110% everyday.

@METAL AKOUSTICGUY jimmy didn’t carry the wolves, they had kat putting in serious work too. You think they’d make the playoffs if kat got injured that season?

@S_AME ok bro just stop defending abusing children. Thats way more harmful than whatever jimmy butler did.

@Dargon Dude omg. I can't. Whatever you say, I'll still side with Jimmy on that issue with the Wolves so I'll just agree to disagree. Anyway, enjoy your night.

@S_AME Slapping with force is considered child abuse obviously. What do you think child abuse means? If one is in public and sees a mother smacking the shit out of their child yeah they would see child abuse. Slapping your child is the lazy way out. Don't want to teach your child understand the implications of their own actions for themselves and thus instead you just smack them make them fear retribution from their parents. Im glad my parents taught me morality the right way. Also this convo is about his behavior on the twolves not his skill as a basketball player obviously butler is skilled and him toxically forcing his way out for a bad package with no players of equivalent value left the twolves in a worse off position.

@Dargon Dude Slapping is child abuse nowadays lmao? How soft. I'm glad my mother used to slap me when I make a mistake. Anyway, I could say this, I could say that but at the end of the day, Jimmy's Heat is more successful than the Wolves since he left and that speaks volume on how "toxic" he really is.

Imagine this happening in soccer. Simmons would’ve been out the next season immediately

The fact that there was once a rumor about him going to the warriors still scares me. Like no we dont want you on our team. Dray would knock you out if you act like this during their practices like damn

I agree to the 70% penalty. Make it even worse 85%. Like just having bonuses for playing extra games or going deep in the playoffs isn't right players have to be penalized for not playing a certain amount of regular-season games and be heavily penalized for killing team chemistry and morale.

I genuinely don’t know how he made it to the NBA and at this level in the first place

That title. Oh snap, time to buckle up!

😂 I had that feeling, too.

I don’t really watch basketball (obviously) but your videos have changed my mindset. Awesome content! Subbed!

Imagine averaging 6.9 points a game and having the nerve to throw a towel in your coaches face demanding a trade.

Honestly Ben Simmons had a good few first years and then just kinda fell off.. for the League and whatever team he goes to and Ben as well.. I hope a everything pans out 👍

Honestly it's always has been where GM's and owners got to do what they want without thinking of the players, the reasoning alway was "the NBA is a business" I think players should be able to use that too

Right and like every large business it’s a battle between the workers union and the owners and stockholders. So when Ben Simmons and other players abuse their power to line their pockets with millions of dollars and leverage themselves into winning situations (while refusing to play in unfavorable situations) it’s only uniting the owners and gms against them. Ultimately it will come down to a lockout (strike) over leverage power and contracts, and who do you think will last longer in that situation, the multi billionaire owners… or the players? Remember, most of the players in the nba players union are in fact not millionaires on super max contracts, they are middle tier players making middle tier money. Many with young families and many of them fresh out of draft looking for that first paycheck or nearing the end of their careers looking for that final paycheck. They just need to make their money to support their families. Owners though? Those guys are all billionaires with many fall back plans and billions in assets. They’ve made their money and could ride out years of striking. Players like Simmons are really only hurting their own players union and weakening their own power. If you want an example of what happens when the players lose power in negotiations against the owners just look at the nfl. The owners have WAY more power in that league and really fuck players out of millions. The nba players union needs to reign in players like Simmons that are abusing the system, otherwise there’s going to be a reckoning coming next time they are negotiating the new CBA with the owners. And it might not be something they like.

The roast of Ben Simmons hosted by JxmyHighroller

Simmons worst trash in nba. He won’t ever play even for the nets.

My guy you sub to Shane 😂

JxmyHighroller didn't tell no lies. I'm a celtics fan and when 76ers drafted Fultz my first words were "great now someone else whose scared to shoot"

@David Ruff Oof...

My mans should’ve showed up in a du rug and timbs with a newport barely dangling out his mouf 🙅🏽‍♂️🙅🏽‍♂️🙅🏽‍♂️🙅🏽‍♂️😭😭😭😭😭

Great editing...the music flow and voice over is top flight!

4:24 yes they were making moves, but not necessarily successful ones thought. Definitely not ones that helped Simons develop at all. Also, Embiid doesn't mix very well with Simons and never did. Not trying to defend Simons. He never tried to improve his flaws, but the toxicity of the teams fans and also terrible head coach (imo) didn't help.

I’m tired of all this “player autonomy is good” when we allow crap like this you kill sports. All competitiveness in the nba is nearly drawn out cause hey if you wanna win just pout long enough to get on a team with all-stars it’s honestly sad. At least when quarterbacks make a fuss they usually just end up sticking with their team😭

"A team that has done everything to help him" define help

Come on guys he's still a rookie give him some time to develop his jumpshot

@Roshane Soverall totally disrespected DM

2 can win the game

He did steal ROTY from Donovan Mitchell

@Grant Newman come on man Ben is only 4

@Grant Newman Ben only played a few games in his first season because of injury, and couldn't win ROTY. Instead, he won it in his SECOND year, because he barely played in his first. Now it's an ongoing joke that he is a rookie and when people ask "Who do you think will win ROTY?" people say Ben Simmons.

He’s never going to be able to live that under the basket pass away lmao. I see that clip sooo much whenever you bring up Simmons

Ben Simmons should just grow up and play like 10 or so games to still show teams he got it. The last time we seen him play was losing to The Atlanta Hawks in the playoffs.

I get what you're saying but to say that players moving around less would create more parity and hearken back to the league in the 90's is a statement that contradicts itself. The 90's had the least parity of any era other than the 60's.

That free throw montage was so disrespectful and I love it

Lonzo managed to fix his shot and solidify his reputation as a defender and Ben Simmons is still the same player. Also, Kobe didn't just keep quiet. He threatened to sign with another team, and that forced the Lakers to get their act together. Kobe stayed loyal and won 2 more, he got a golden parachute even when he was injured.

@Kenrick Eason can't believe you're admitting it. Kudos. I honestly think had they gave up two rings to a very beatable Spurs team as well as that pistons finals. And then the other potentials after Shaq left.

@Wally Osmond I hate to admit that you're right but you are right.. The Lakers would be a 5 or 6 years championship dynasty if Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal kept their egos in check..

@Harvey Yusof Tan That's why NBA teams hire NBA shooting Coaches.. People think you can just walk up in there and play ball.. As a PG/SG Your Shots must be accurate,your defense must be on point, Your Basketball IQ/ Regular IQ must be off the charts, Must have great Court Vision, must be able to read defenses as well as offenses in progress.. You may get away with not doing everything in Highschool and College (Even then the Coaches will get on you for it some will cut you immediately) but in the Pros here and across the World Owners/Coaches/GMs will cut/will fire you immediately if you don't produce numbers and wins..

Kobe was so loyal he destroyed a championship team cuz there were players on it who were better than he was. FFS.

@hard sandwich Elaborate. I'm honestly curious.

4:31 and you'll see the same thing wherever LBJ goes

Hell yea. Thank you. I've been saying Simmons is trash ever since he entered the league. I'm so glad it finally came to the surface.

@Hiroshi AHAHA. 👍🏼

Ben's talent is unquestionable .

It's interesting watching this video after Kevin Durant requested a trade. Really makes it put it into a differrnt lens

Talking about less movement where each team has their own superstars. I feel like we have that in Boston. Other than Kyrie I feel like we’ve had really loyal people people playing for us. Like Tatum or brown could easily leave to any team but they seem to want to win in boston

As an atlanta fan, it was fucking hilarious watching our players foul him in the playoffs cause they knew he would miss the free throws 😂

@Dun'owe Mahnaime A+ 👍🏾

Bash-a-Ben

@Z Ben Simmons sucks. There ya go! Sincerely. The fans of Philadelphia!

@Dun'owe Mahnaime nobody is reading this essay bro sorry you gotta summarize this

Lmao, he was literally crumbling as a player before our eyes.

Stephs one of those loyal players thats we be with the dubs through the good and bad

Lmao - "the organization stood steady beside him." Too funny.

I want Jimmy to drop a video after this whole trade and Ben and Harden both blew out their teams

when you are no longer the same exciting NBA, and everyone knows it.

Game of zones ended to soon this situation would make one of the funniest episodes since the fest of the east episode

@Durp Shady alright bet🤝

@dandre2K ikr especially when you catch all the Easter eggs hidden in there

@Fullweezy 35 brooo i never watched it until then my roommates where doing it as inside jokes to each other , funniest shit ever lmaooo

@Dozha Deville agreed they didn't need GOT to keep going but I do enjoy what we did get this episodes are still hilarious

I'm pissed they ended it!

When you can't shoot and everyone knows it and you really want to show it... when you can't shoot and everyone knows it, make demands!

The nets are Simmons' last chance. Perfect roster for him. All the spacing and shooters he could ever ask for.

Ben when he was little kid, liked to dress up as a cop. Once during the fun his mom told to him: "Ben don't shoot!".. and here we are now..

As a philly native id love to see you make this same video again now

When Boban Marjanovic has more jump shots in a single week than Simmons ever did in a whole season! 🤦

Bobans even a bigger star than Ben, he got killed by John Wick.

Boban made More than Simmons whole career actually😂

U are fiiine 😍

3 months late here, but I honestly didn't like him the moment I heard he withdrew from LSU instead of playing in the tournament. (Yeah I know there's the mentality of preventing injury) but it shows that he thought about himself before the team

It's hilarious that people are our here defending the spurs ostracizing Kawhi for a real injury whereas they wouldn't go to work with a broken pinky 🤣

It’s sad that as a society (of sports fans) we are so programmed to think it’s not ok for players to request and then force trades but when teams traded players we sit back and say…well that’s just apart of the game. I call BS

2:13 been lookin' for this clip for ages. thanks Jxmy!

The fact you mentioned Simmons and Harden in the same sentence so much in this video, just for them to be traded for each other 😂my Nets one this trade

You are spot on. Even tho the sixers got an older Harden, at least we have a player that will play. That is going to give the sixers a big boost. I laugh that Brooklyn fans think they got such a great deal. We didnt give away any of our young talent. 1st round picks that will be late picks that rarely ever work out and the funniest part is that they say they dont need him to shoot. Whenever he is on the floor the paint will be crowded because he wont shoot. He will never shoot. Not to mention Kyrie is a part time player who will probably leave Brooklyn in a year or 2. Durant is the best player in the NBA but he cant win it all by himself. Sixers got a legit scorer to play with an MVP player in Embid! Watch!!!

I can imagine the miced up moments of philly games goin like "No double embiid! Let him shoot" *Simmons Shoots* "BRICK!" *Shot goes in and out*

Makes me wonder which team would want this man on their team lol

you guys dont get Ben's greatness as a human. you know how much it helps me through the day knowing that i am a better shooter than a 144 million player? leave Ben alone he makes my days better

@Dylan Forster I can shoot better than Ben, set us up so you can see. There's no way in fvxking hell I'd miss 10 straight FREE THROWS no matter what the context is. Now, Ben will dominate me in every othet aspect of Basketball, but people like him doesn't want to put in the reps to become a decent shooter, I like my chances on that.

@Dylan Forster if he never miss 10 FT,he got legitimate claim as better shooter than Ben

@Dylan Forster he’s good for defense only can shoot can’t take a wide open layup when the closest player is a 6ft trae young

@Dylan Forster Bro any baller who regularly play basketball and specialize in shooting probably has a better shooting than Ben

i think that makes my day worse lmao

Doc rivers was just speaking facts 😂

so it’s a problem when the players treat it like a business and make harsh decisions, but then when the front offices ship you out without warning and do what’s best for the team.. a player can’t do what’s best for himself?? if a team can control when your done, so should a player be able to control when he’s done, simple.
