Ben Simmons Ain't the 1st NBA player Known For Stealing NBA Checks.. 😂🤣

[@DirtCheapFU]

Usually a player steals a check it's for like 1 deal, and mid deal that payout gets reduced. Simmons is getting paid like a Special needs kid with a pistol. Like foreal, "Whose kid is this?".

[@coolmoe3289]

@@DirtCheapFU .. Special Needs 😂🤣

[@RobberStormfire]

Simmons may be the GOAT of check stealing though. Tough to beat his call out of work game

[@coolmoe3289]

Simmons Did Get A MAX Contract From the Sixers.. Soo Dude is one of the Goats Of Stealing.. 😂🤣

[@wesleycuban8649]

Bro stole an entire extension though 😂 he’s barely played since he signed that deal. That was flat out robbery

[@MrMhibb23]

Nate can shoot left and right hand.. strong af..

[@Kai-zz8ns]

Having back/spinal issues myself gives me a different perspective on Ben. Back pain is horrendous, no matter how much he’s being paid doesn’t change that fact.

Nates idea for dunk contest is by far the best ive heard. Dunkera on youtube are far superior vs the nba players these days and its been like that for years. Even mcclung, hes good bc hes teaming up w them for ideas.

I'm 5'9 I will never forget Nate Robinson 🎉🎉🎉

[@danny.razore]

Certified 🐐 in high school , college and the NBA. One of the most athletic individuals of my lifetime. One of the coolest and hungry dudes EVER!! I skipped school in 5th grade to watch Nate and Rainier Beach win the state championship. He was already a certified legend!! (do you know he played football in college too?? 🥶) Nate Robb , from Beach to the Dub to the League, thank you for helping raise generations of young men in the Northwest 🫡

[@brianmaclaury9876]

I'd watch y'all make a professionally filmed series taking on LA fitness squads. A lot of people would.

[@L4-295]

Pros vs joes doesn’t exist anymore for a reason. Nobody cares if you’re better than me or you, aka the average person, we want to see how good you are against the other athletic freaks of nature in the world and unfortunately, Nate is little and average.

[@BLACK_MikeHammer]

I think he might have something here, not exactly Joes vs Pros, that was usually average guys mismatched against retired athletes who were beasts in their sports... Something like those BalisLife dudes or any of these other top YT ballers who can actually really play hooping against NBA guys just newly retired, same sized guys... Not 6'2 dudes playing against NBA 6'8/6'9 dudes.. People would definitely want to watch that and see how those YT guys stacked up against NBA talent. I know I would..

[@js1241]

Getting minutes on any level of sports gives a feeling of joy unexplainable… so the fact Ben don’t wanna play .. I don’t understand

[@Awkward_Incel]

Bro I was working at target making 16.50 before taxes so like 13 dollars an hour. I missed a day and called out and my supervisor advised me to use sick time so I still got paid. Felt good to get paid for not working. Can only imagine getting paid 400,000 per game for not playing a game while sitting Courtside traveling from city to city looking like a model. It's like fans are more invested than actual players. This is a job at the end kf the day. Some people love their jobs/careers just like some people just do it for a check. Same thing with nba players. Ben has always been a tall athletic dude just naturally gifted and saw all the perks of hooping growing up( free gear, fame and popularity, money, etc) and just went with it. It's literally just a game. Ppl hate because they PAY attention and energy to this game and a lot of people envy the position they feel he's taking for granite. People play basketball all their lives practicing all the time to never reach the pros yet a dude who doesn't really care not only makes it but excelled enough at a high level to make the bag

[@blakkpappi8045]

Yo Nate, idk if you'll see this, but when Chicago let you go after everything you did for us, I was outraged and ashamed of my team. You were amazing and I feel lucky to have watched you play.

It’s a tall man’s game, even the short guys on average are tall people. The rim is still ten foot. The small guys will never understand how the tall guys take the opportunities for granted because they don’t have many. And the tall guys will always be bothered by why the little guys go so hard.

“You heard it here first” after bringing up an idea that they were literally just talking about after the Dunk contest 😂

[@Taylor8Fam]

1 on 1’s with a 10 sec clock would be fire. So the creative players could cook.

[@SilverSpectre266]

Real back problems or not, the fact that they let Simmons get away with so much is wild. There are so many players fighting in free agency, the G League, and overseas for a spot in the NBA and 1/10th of what Simmons makes. If anyone signs him after his contract is up...just wow

I have a better dunk contest idea than Nate: duos. Have your regular NBA participants, but have each of them select a pro dunker to be on their team, and combine the scores.

McClung is seriously trying to make NBA roster. Not just a social media influencer. NBA is going to have pay influencers to participate in dunk contest & if that’s the case, they might as well pay NBA players more money to do it. Ja, Zion etc all have said it’s about the money
