[@penkima4923]

@@Swannkkkkk I'm not going to watch that again. In fact, I didn't watch properly the first time. But I heard enough. I think Rashad often tries to argue for the sake of argument. But on this video, he says what Gil and K-Mart should already know. When Ben's coming back, not one player on any team's gonna say "We don't know you". They all will say "Welcome back, Benny. Let's get you back to playing high-level basketball." The minutes are up to the coach, and what the contract says. Ben never was a scoring option like Kawhi, so there won't be a problem with the teammates.

David Lee & Ben Simmons situations are completely different. After they won the title, David Lee got traded that off season. He wasn't sulking on the bench, and they didn't ignore him. He wasn't gone be getting minutes & at the time, he was making too much. The issue with Ben is, he hasn't played. I don't know what you or Rashad are expecting from the team, but it's not like anybody knows what he'll give you when he gets healthy. Are you saying they should shout out the 14th & 15th man too?

[@saucecastillo460]

@oo70mar there is very much a wrong answer. No one's rooting against Ben. I haven't heard anyone saying anything negative about him.

Ofcourse it’s common sense, people keep gettin mad at him when all this is entertainment

[@spazzout6st]

I’m laughing the whole video they funny as hell 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ryanfarrell9257]

McCants is saying this because his teammates treated him like Ben Simmons teammates treated Ben Simmons

[@cnote80906]

Gil is actually pretty smart keeping McCants around. He knows what he is doing

[@jjones4738]

I get Mccants point. He got them quiet after saying "go ask him" Being apart of a team has some form of respect regardless of ability or availability. Now when you perform and be a locker room guy that's another form of respect.

[@jaefraz]

Thank you. Nobody else seeing that tho

[@K-RozayTV]

Ben simmons is away from the team but alright

[@artemisagrotera9230]

mccants wants ben to be treated like a star though, which obviously isnt going to happen anymore. then he switched it up and said like a teammate. now i doubt his teammates are roasting this dude or anything negative, so im wondering what mccants really means by respect. because yes ben is injured, but there were alot of times he wasn't and he made the decision not to practice or travel with the team. hard to think of someone as a teammate when you're not around, whether to injury or personal decision. in anycase, being displeased with a teammate doesn't mean disrespect, so again, i want to know what exactly mccants means by respect, because im pretty sure he means "treated like a star" like he was blatantly saying in the beginning of his argument before switching gears

[@k20ngpadrino8]

Nawl Simmons playing games

[@JackFendi]

If Rashad strategy to stay on the show is looking a complete fool he executing tf out that idea! 😂

[@kaynemartin8491]

No foreal dude is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[@Saintlamar7]

Sometimes it feels like a parody of a sport’s argument 😭😭😭

[@jaymca730]

Thing is players like Kawhi, or KD, before they got hurt, they were competitors. They played hard, practiced hard, etc. So they get respect for that. Ben Simmons has shown time and time again all he wants is the status. He came back averaging what 6 -7 ppg? vs someone like a KD who had a more severe injury and came back averaging 27.

[@beuncobrown6830]

They know what McCants means , Gill just be so pressed to be right ,

[@Qichar]

Well, this conversation sort of indirectly sums it up. They didn't even know if Ben Simmons played last year.

[@RonJP-pm7jp]

Lol hell I don’t think anyone knew. That’s his impact.

[@shawny55971]

Mccants being on the show is like giannis's brother being on the bucks bench lmao

[@araqib7]

Man it would be neat if these dudes actually would pay attention to what's happening in the league currently

[@firstteamkeem91]

Right the way gill acted like Ben haven't played in two years

[@est.inthe80s]

@@firstteamkeem91that’s because Gil like a lot of people only pay attention to what they think is important

[@harbinger794]

@@firstteamkeem91To be fair Ben’s production on the court is not much more than me and I don’t play basketball lmao

[@TeAmoDre]

This man really comparing Khawi and Ben Simmons

[@ericmayo3434]

I have never seen a decline like Ben Simmons before shit weird as hell

[@NeilTruick]

Here's the point that's getting missed: Ben Simmons is making $38 million this season and is scheduled to make $40 million next season. Missed the last 24 games of last season plus the first round of the playoffs, where the Nets got swept by the Sixers. Played six of the first seven games this season; hasn't played since November 6th. At the start of the season, he was talking a whole lot about "feeling in the best shape ever" and "can't wait to produce for the team." He supposedly had another procedure in the off-season to fix his ongoing back issues. Now he's out because of his knee...I think. I'm not sure because the reason is constantly changing because he doesn't want to play basketball. He only wants to get paid.

Facts

[@justbigstepbro9167]

Kardashians got McQuits shook. The way Kenyon says “WHO!?🦉 “ kills me every-time

[@Onlytherealeststays]

Rahand speaking his truth. Dude did not get over being pushed out league after a couple years.

[@_therealjaybanks]

Rashad sound dumb as hell. Ain’t nobody taking 2 years off and still the #1 option, especially Ben Simmons 😂 bro really lucky to be in the league still

[@tjbalous5392]

Ben is just collecting a check at this point

[@vvizard2789]

McCants keeps the show active, K Mart is Gils echo ...

[@richardsong7732]

Shad definitely got CTE during his short stint in the NBA 😂 dude is on one

[@BigRob901]

Rashad was the only one to know he’s hurt and has actually played this year. The rest of the guys still going off the narrative of a year ago. SMH

[@SudoSaiyanGod]

Facts they don’t even know what’s going on

[@Swaggyp50]

6 out of 28 games makes him an impactful player?

[@IamWinningFoundation]

@@Swaggyp50 is impact purely based off of games played? It doesnt matter the amount of games played if you dont do shit,

[@MrChief1love]

Good points on both... Ima say this.. coming off injury u want your respect to understand I'm coming for my spot.... respect it!

[@phillyphilly3669]

😂😂 now remember the big media people said it was Philly fault lol and we would regret trading him 😂

[@thomasberrymanll4595]

Lmao exactly smh it’s unbelievable 😂 of course the media won’t say the sixers and sixer fans were right….😂

[@Swerve.Papiii]

It’s like McCants is trying to be wrong 😂

Hell yeah. I used to be annoyed. Shit is hilarious now😂😂😂

He’s right

Y’all followers lol

Dude in the video asking questions high as hell

[@TheDonz]

Rashad's is playing a character on this show, he actually doesnt even believe what he says.

[@ntcoke23]

That Kardashian attitude lol 😆

[@BrklynBread]

Khawi has missed a lot of games but unlike Ben, he's been in the trenches with his team at some points. Khawi actually played playoff games lol

[@inactiveio]

Why everyone hating on Rashad? Yeah a lot of his takes are ridiculous but it's entertainment. It's a game it's just funny to laugh at point at . Anyone taking sports or sports commentators seriously needs to chill out and he's way more likeable than anyone on ESPN or Skip. I just watch to see how tight kmart and gil get at this man lmao

[@dceltics2461]

Cuz he keeps talking stupid about kawhi

[@VinceVanished]

He be trolling and I can see KMart dont mess with the trolling lol

[@GigiBullie]

I used to think Rashad was crazy but He is actually genius he found a way to be Gils antagonist and continues to troll us with hot takes to the point he low key a major part of the show

[@kimberlybecoatstudio7020]

McCant really missing the point. Great example of this is right now Kyrie Irving is injured on the Mavs. HOWEVER KAI prior to that was straight ballin. His teammates love him on Dallas - and Kyrie even though injured TRAVELS with the team to away games. He stays connected /practices and everything. When KAI was on the Nets he was the same. And those young players still talk about Kyries impact. Ben always seperates himself away from the team. If that's what Ben wants he needs to meet them in the middle.

[@homiefizzle5260]

Rashad spent 3 yrs in college and came out with 0 critical thinking skills. Save your money kids, learn a trade 😂

[@Cheif_Espada]

McCants is trying to make this point to imply that HE deserves respect for HIS shitty career.

[@greggpoppabich9281]

There's uh couple times I tried 2 b "Team McCants" like when Miko Grimes wuz talkn sh1t about him but, I can't feel this take on Ben Simmons. Rashad is 2 sympathetic bcuz of how his career went. Ben Simmons should b kickd out tha league & only allowed back on minimum contracts...✊🏽🙂❤️🏀

[@Jaydef-oh2vc]

Funniest segment ever 😂😂😂😂

[@yoitmeree]

Bro time and time again ends up on the wrong side of easy questions, wtf bruh 😂

[@ShayMuuLa]

MCcants with more misunderstood truth ✍🏾

[@75RecordsENT]

I feel what McCantz is saying cause that's how I feel bout Ben too, gotta respect what a player did when healthy, especially when you could use them.
