Stephen A. SOUNDS OFF on Ben Simmons | NBA Countdown

[@MafiaboysWorld]

Quit on LSU, quit on the Sixers, quit on Australia, and has been quiet quitting on Brooklyn since he's been there.

[@willharden6456]

Right

[@MafiaboysWorld]

@Jack Walker LSU - Quit during March Madness against Texas A&M. Australia - Has refused to play for Australia since being cut in 2014, even though he's been eligible. As a result, missed out on Bronze in Tokyo last year and could've helped the squad at Rio when they lost by 1 point to Spain in the Bronze medal match.

Most times I don't agree with Steven A but on this I totally agree with him. Simmons had the NBA, and fans fooled for years now he's exposed. Teams know he will not shoot and they know he can't shoot a three. And they know he can't hit foul shots. Most NBA players are not even play defense against him they have no fear he will shoot. The Nets need to take the Simmons project as lost and keep him on the bench the majority of the time and stop giving him minutes he is a role player that's hurting more than helping the team.

Should of got rid of him and Harris when they had the chance and built around Embiid and Butler ( who liked playing with Embiid and would of stayed if Simmons was gone ) but of course they made the worst possible decision and gave this guy everything and never held him accountable for his decreasing play every year and finally when he had a complete meltdown and played possibly the worst series we have ever seen against Atlanta and pretty much was solely responsible for that loss not only did his soft and weak style of play get exposed but his ridiculously soft and fragile ego also got exposed because of a few very very light criticisms from Doc and Embiid and he acted like a spoiled brat instead of trying to improve his game. He's just an arrogant pos that's scared to play with any type of physicality and still horrified of even attempting to have anykind of offensive game other than wide open dunks even layups are a problem for him if there's a defender anywhere near him.

Ben Simmons has given up on playing basketball, that's the only way to explain what he's doing this year. I get mental health and all that, but if it's that bad to where you can't function at your job to even an acceptable level, step away and go get help. Because there's only so much defending people are going to do with you if you keep playing this bad.

Not a fan of Mr Smith but I do enjoy any kind of Ben Simmons criticism

[@hamhockbeans]

Yet all he did last season was say Simmons is a talent that he will become a star away from Philly.

[@yvesbailey]

Brooklyn deserves this fate, why would you trade for a player that has lost all confidence in his game and has been found out to be a useless shooter. Better they had not gotten anyone, just some picks and stuff

[@hamhockbeans]

Harden is doing just fine in Philly.

[@romain198426]

Ive been saying this about Ben the NBA need to investigate this

[@walterzarate4674]

The James Harden talk is BS, dude literally quit on Brooklyn. Nets had no choice but to trade for Ben Simmons.

[@trick-jn4fg]

Kd quit on the nets how about that. But they did not trade him

[@walterzarate4674]

@@trick-jn4fg matter fact if you consider KD playing every game he was healthy for last year quitting, I can only imagine what you think of Harden’s performances against Sacramento and Detroit 🤢🤢🤢

[@k_hack9441]

Harden was sick of Kyrie being unprofessional, and KDs terrible leadership. And now Harden is an All Star lvl guy again

[@AbeFroman420]

A smaller market might be a better fit for Ben. Minimal media coverage and responsibility to carry a team. Okc. Spurs. To name a few.

[@JohnKExp]

He will definitely end up as an analyst working for espn. Once his money runs out 😂

[@Juju-cm7ge]

Well Kyrie balled out last night 😂
