There is no curious case. He's been in the NBA long enough to where we know he isn't worth a roster spot.
Ben is a scrub
I’ll take him on the Lakers!
Man, I wish Kobe was still alive and coach this man fr, he has a superstar potential but he let it be wasted by his weak mentality
IDK if yall noticed, but Ben Simmons initials are BS which perfectly describes him
his foot is hurting for sure
Nothing curious, he sucks
Watching SEC basketball in college…
I told everyone who would listen..
That Jamal Murray was head and shoulders better than Simmons just not as tall as him…
Yea I'm looking like a freaking Genius right now
When I first saw Simmons he was a sophomore at Montverde and he took perimeter shots and had a nice looking release. I remember saying his jumper looks like a younger Derrick Coleman, just not with the same results. But at least he was taking them.
He’ll be back

People just give him too much crap for some few games on the playoffs. Dude can ball. End of story

Teaching a righty to shoot left handed is a brilliant idea
OH BROTHER THIS GUY STINKS
if you ever feel stupid remember that philly could have gotten jaylen brown or brandon imgram but chose to get bum simmons
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do your research bro lol Brett brown was not the sixers coach after the raptors series. So how did he give praise to simmons when doc rivers was for sure the coach after that series because when reporters asked about simmons being able to play point guard and win a title. Doc said he doesnt know the answer to that question and that was the beginning of the end for ben. But yeah get your facts str8 lol
Everyone always misses the fact Simmons was always a terrible half-court player
The really depressing thing is you know he can afford to surround himself with people who will coddle him
2 years left on his deal worth 78m? That does not sound like the worst deal
The Case for Ben Simmons to Change His Name to Stupid Wannabe Hooper
Ben Simmons has been struggling lately. His inability to step up in high-pressure situations and poor shooting percentages have been the subject of much criticism. However, there may be a solution to his problems that he has yet to consider – changing his name to Stupid Wannabe Hooper.
This may seem like a ridiculous suggestion at first glance, but upon closer examination, it could be exactly what Simmons needs to revitalize his game. By using the MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) framework, we can break down the benefits and potential drawbacks of this proposed name change.
First, let's consider the problem with Ben Simmons. He lacks offensive firepower and struggles to make shots when it counts. This has led to frustration among fans and teammates alike.
Now, let's explore the benefits of changing names. By taking on a new identity, Simmons could reinvent himself and shed any negative connotations that may be holding him back. This could be crucial to improving his mental toughness and overall confidence on the court.
So why Stupid Wannabe Hooper? The term "stupid" may seem like a negative association at first, but in this context, it could be used to represent a fearless commitment to taking risks and trying new things. Additionally, the phrase "wannabe hooper" has a humorous and ironic connotation that could help to add some levity to Simmons' struggles.
Of course, there are potential drawbacks and criticisms to consider as well. Some fans and media members may balk at such a seemingly unprofessional name change. There is also the risk of alienating current teammates and coaches who may not take the name change seriously.
However, the potential benefits of this new moniker are too great to ignore. By creating a fresh start and new identity, Simmons may finally be able to break free from the limitations of his current name and fully realize his potential as a player.
In conclusion, the case for Ben Simmons to change his name to Stupid Wannabe Hooper is a strong one. By using the MECE framework to analyze the potential benefits and drawbacks, we can see that the rewards of this name change may outweigh any potential risks. It's time for Simmons to seriously consider this option and take the first step towards a brighter future on the court.
Ben can only blame himself, and I’m saying that as not a Simmons hater, or fan; I’m indifferent about him, but his lack of motivation and lazy work ethic his the reason became who he became. The fans will ALWAYS point out flaws in ANYONE’S game.
They said Giannis was too skinny and didn’t shoot enough 3’s to win a championship, so he hit the gym and proved them wrong.
They said Jokic was too unathletic and out of shape, so he dominates the game by playing smarter.
They said LeBron wasn’t a leader, so he took on a strong leadership roll and has won multiple titles.
They said Kobe couldn’t win without Shaq, so he went out and won back to back titles.
They said Curry was too small to dominate the game and his ankle concerns were too risky. He’s not a 4x NBA champion.
These comments will always come, but what separates naturally talented players from all time greats like the ones I listed, is how they react to the criticism and flaws in their game.
Who's the idiot who did the research here? Ain't no one want Ben Simmons out of Philly until the Atlantis series.
Man this narrator been hanging out with Tyrone Biggums
Ben Simmons is overrated
Is mental game.
Ben needs to get out of the motions and play I think he can be solid it's just that he lets the drama get to him
He’s lazy sure. But I think everybody knows that Philly is the worst fan base for players. They had 4 top 3 picks from 2014 to 2017. One of them became good
W video like all ways nonstop sports
3:30 “assuming he works”. That’s the moral of this story. None of this woulda happened if he actually worked on his game. His back ain’t shit, Larry Bird was cooking dudes with half a back
it’s kind of understandable for ben to not work on shooting (if you weren’t a hooper). But to not work on your free throws is just blasphemous.
Of course I never played in the NBA but in high-school and college we ALWAYS practiced free throws at the end of practices. That’s why I always find it weird that some players can’t even hit 1 to save their teams 😂
