Fine psychological work here from Richard Jefferson: never been a superstar, so he knows how under appreciated you can be in a superstar driven league. Here he starts praising a very modest role player like Niang to let him feel good and subsequently open revealing unedited and unpublished details about Ben Simmons. The transition to the media world for Richard Jefferson is now complete. Bravo!👏 👏 👏

I still need therapy 🤦

[@officialthomasjames]

You don’t need therapy Ben needs therapy

[@TimC-n5p]

Nah man you’re spot on. Everyone in Philly feels this way. Even beyond shooting, we just want players that give effort and are passionate. He wasn’t built to play in this city… or I guess any other city for that matter. Just mastered the art of collecting checks while sitting on the bench in all designer

[@momsspaghetti834]

Bro i don't even like philly but it was very infuriating watching someone with all the talent and tools to be one of the greatest and simply not put in the work and never become a better player

[@clsupreme7408]

That was SO refreshing 2 hear an NBA player keep it totally 💯 regarding relationships with other players (especially Ben Simmons). Normally they’re so politically correct and phoney (ie. JJ Redick). Ben Simmons has no one 2 blame with how his career has turned out but Ben Simmons and I have no idea why people have coddled him 4 so long. It did nothing 2 help him…it just enabled the piss poor attitude and approach 2 the game. Grown men need the truth; not yes men.

If Ben worked hard and loved basketball he would have been a HOF easily and been a top 5 player. He had the size at 6’10 to run the court like Giannis, he could pass the ball at an elite level, and he was an elite rebounder as well. He should have been able to average near a triple double. His scoring is all he needed to work on. If he developed a post game he could have easily averaged 22-23 points and if he got some type of jump shot it could go higher. He really should have been an all time great player with his talent vision and size

[@ryu-ken]
