Indeed, he let his ego go to his head especially with the “young socialite” comments when he was talking about only wanting to be traded to Californian teams or his refusal to develop a shot regardless of the situation. Plus that comment by Embiid is not surprising, I don’t think he is actively trying to injure but Embiid is by FAR a reckless player when it comes to defence.

The thing about Jared Dudley is he knows he's an average NBA player at best, but he's been around the game to see how the truly great players operate. What he lacks in his own physical ability in comparison to his peers, he has IQ and experience. Let's not forget though. Jared averages 4.9 PPG, but in a pickup game, he will absolutely become the second coming of Kareem against any of us.

Saying Jared Dudley was valuable for more than scoring and minutes is true for sure. He's always been a smart guy, defending players in interviews, saying the right stuff, etc. It's the same reason the Heat have Haslem on the roster right now, the same reason lots of old guys stick around for years after their useful playing days are done. It's a guy who can push players in practice, someone the players can talk to, and someone who's obviously going to be a coach, GM, or other front office guy as soon as his career is over. If you listen to the more introspective basketball podcasts that ask players who helped them the most, it's always Jared Dudley or Ish Smith or Udonis Haslem. Very rarely is it the star player or famous head coach. Guys like Dudley are really valuable even if they play 2 minutes of garbage time and never hit a big shot again.

We got pissed off when people said he can’t shoot and said stuff like “yeah he doesn’t have a jumper but he’s elite at every other facet of the game”. But when he choked against the Hawks and the fans were justifiably angry at him, you were all like “Ben just needs to play for a less toxic fan base who will actually support him! Once he gets out, he’ll be the star we all know he can be!” Well, look what happened. It’s obvious that he only cared about basketball to get that big contract, and as soon as he got paid, he stopped caring more than any player I’ve ever seen.

You can't be a franchise player and not be able to partake in the final minutes of a close game because you can't shoot, not even free throws. Unless you're such a dominant force in the paint the other team is forced to double and you put the ball in the hands of a reliable shooter on the team.

He's got about a 3ft range and was scared to even be a part of the offense in the few games he played. For being such a big guy he plays scared and gets pushed around and bullied by guys a foot shorter than him. Probably the most useless player in the game and his defense is very overrated.

Awesome video. I didn't know that much about the beef, but it sure was nice to get the details about Dudley getting the last laugh. 😂😎

[@christopherhamill525]

“Hot shot- ehhh hot passer” had me dying

[@ThatBoyKlink]

LSU fans tried to tell everyone about Ben😀😀

[@DaileyShorts]

The fact that I'm watching a Beef episode as i cook...a pound of ground beef is not lost on me

[@torachan23]

“The Future” 😂😂😂

[@daveSoupy]

One of your guys best videos for a while

[@uberneanderthal]

10:20 I'm sorry, but this looks like a fan photoshopped his face onto a player's body. "No really, I'm in the NBA! here look!"

[@keebo_]

waking up every weekend to a new sb vid is awesome

[@likeatree-ei8it]

Jimmy Butler wasn't wrong either. He spoke up about him and they traded him. Look how that worked out!

[@itsnotcolby]

II think Dudleys best strength was not having an issue telling anyone how he saw things, Thats why guys who want to compete and be the best and improve loved him, young guys like gannis. Middleton, Booker, even Delo. Simmons still could be a top player in the league if he had someone like dudley as a teammate or even if he just didnt let his ego get him. Kinda sad really esp playing a few older 2ks like 17-18-19 were he had insane potential and was good and worth a massive contract

[@azharmahmud2786]

12:06 “willing to dunk when open” that’s cold 😂

[@marcusmoore3061]

As a Philly native, Jared Dudley over Ben

[@gass995]

Dudley has more finals appearances than Ben simmons😂😂

[@Nerdificationing]

I remember I put a comment in on the JJ interview of Ben Simmons saying it's clear he's learnt NOTHING. And so many said JUST YOU WAIT, HE GONNA HAVE A GREAT YEAR! LOL single handedly helped scare off Kyrie and KD

[@bryanpuente77]

If Aaron Gordon wins the chip this year against the heat we need a beef video between him and Dwayne wade cuz then Gordon absolutely got revenge from not winning the dunk contest

[@matthewgabbard6415]

Wade isn't playing anymore. How would that work?

[@toomanylies7716]

this was so good. it's not over for Ben yet tho. he still has a chance to climb out of whatever hell he's in.

[@n.stamm_]

Crazy to think, that it's possible Jared Dudley ends up with the better career than Ben Simmons. Might even end up with more career points.

[@darnarxz]

Better career? Ben Simmons could never play again and he would easily have the better career.

[@DunlapZazoombazaffodil]

@@darnarxz He'd have a better season and peak undeniably, but Dudley played 14 years in the league, shot basically 40% from deep for his career, won a ring, mentored some pretty talented young guys (d book, giannis, you might have heard of them), and immediately became a coach. give him some time and he can keep building his resume from the bench who knows. while simmons has played 5 seasons, made a grand total of 5 3pointers, appears to be closer to be playing in china than ever being a starter again, and has spent the last couple years doing his best to prove all his critics and detractors right. a couple solid years before being exposed and never improving his game means nothing in that context

[@MrOctober44]

​@@DunlapZazoombazaffodil So now we assess someone's career by how many three pointers they make? Let's not mention that he was the number one overall pick, rookie of the year year, three time all star

[@Brian-Castillo18]

All Star Appearances: Simmons 3 Dudley 0 All NBA Team Appearances: Simmons 1 Dudley 0 All NBA Defensive Team Appearances: Simmons 2 Dudley 0 Simmons also has a Rookie of the Year award. The only thing Dudley has over Simmons is a ring. In what world imaginable could Dudley have a better career than Simmons?

[@n.stamm_]

@@Brian-Castillo18 Simmons has played under replacement level for a while. Wouldn't be shocking, if he's out of the league in a couple of years. And today, Dudley has a better career. Longer, more points, and (as you said) most importantly: A ring.

[@brianlara6451]

This is the coldest episode of beef ever. Dudley btw seems to be an excellent coach too

[@shay9541]

And now simmons is a net 😭

[@lishtins]

I think the media hyped up Simmons, a lot of people saw what Dudley saw

[@RiverM8rix]

Didn’t Butler also criticize Simmons for the same things?

[@Rambam1776]

As soon as I win the lottery, I'm going to pay this narrator to just follow me around talking all day. I love her voice so much.

[@rtp3391]

🤡🤡🤡

[@rtp3391]

your a pig clown

[@scrimmna]

"Don't worry Simmons, I don't hate you, it's just an objective fact that you're not good in the half-court" LMFAO imagine if he actually said that to him on court

[@blaxson10]

Dudley tried to tell us about Simmons but we all refused to listen...

[@MhuFox]

arguably the best analyst in the league VS the best off season player in the league lmaooo

[@ArijitGhose]

What a narration and the Background score!!

[@avantesmith6442]

If Ben could’ve kept anywhere near the production he had his first 2 years he would’ve been okay. Big issue is he didn’t want to adjust once the playoffs came and teams packed the paint. Now we don’t even know if he really likes playing. The wildest roller coaster of a young career 😂

[@bwoodzjjb]

This is art.. beautiful work.

[@CeeJay52071]

I could really listen to Clara talk baskeball all day.

[@rtp3391]

cause your a clown pig

[@senorfish2503]

Lol oh could you???

[@scottlarock7924]

I look forward to him being out of the league, with all due respect. It doesn't seem like he wants to be there. So let's just let it be and move on. I'm honestly sick of hearing about him. Not talking about this piece which was very well done, just the general Sports landscape

[@Anthony-ni8wd]

Seeing film of Jimmy with the Sixers always hurts 😞

[@kidflashiv]

The fact Simmons biggest on court rival was this brief back and forth with jared dudley is hilarious

[@vikramkrishnan6414]

The problem with Ben is not that he can't shoot the ball, it is that he is scared to shoot the ball. I don't see how you can play basket"ball" if you are scared of said ball

[@muhammadrifqi7308]

He's scared of failing to put the ball through the net, but your point holds up.

[@jbug1979]

this is my favorite beef history so far. i've seen all of them. j duds in a rock solid bro.

[@KB-313]

This is the series were Embid showed his true character. He straight up abused Allen. Hes calmed down over the years but its hard to forget how much of a troll he was.

[@archmage7813]

Just the fact that the old guy was an old guy in the league and always got a job should tell you that that guy had it

[@Jose-st3fq]

I knew Simmons was lazy from day one, I didn’t expect him to fall off THIS much tho

[@arthurjac8460]

Love how you narrator this

[@botanistedward]

As a Nuggets fan, let those 76ers tears roll

[@jrob4795]

As a man (which is how you should be defining yourself) learn some humility.

[@jrob4795]

@@gimmick7389 I’m not a sixers fan, I just think it’s important, especially nowadays for men to be honorable. Being competitive is one thing, but reveling in someone’s defeat speaks to the character. Things don’t get better unless we get better. Let’s be men, and not catty b*tches. Good luck in game 5 Denver, and better luck next year Philly.
