Ben Simmons | Nets in Paris

Feel good working every day so be back soon there was a point like when I got hurt this season I was like holy I don’t know if I can do this again but then it’s just something in you you’re like for me I’m just not

Going to stop I just don’t have that in me to stop it’s just what I want to do I want to continue to play basketball playing this game keeps me going things happen untimely times and it’s it’s really up to the athlete to push do it and that’s what you know creates the

Story for me it’s like a part of the journey you got to embrace like every day every moment every workout even though some days might be harder than others that it’s nothing the test for me that I have to get through man can I get you here good you

Like socer yeah I love football everybody’s talking about Victor you understand why he’s a freak like 7 74 75 he’s he’s going to have his time can you rebild some kind of Cera three when you travel I think over time you know we was around each other all the time away from

My family so you know you build friendships and bonds and uh it just carries on so to be with Pat in August here in Paris that’s a good idea I can’t I can’t wait um you know we didn’t get too much time to cour last year so so

You know this year is going to be a gra change for us you know represent our country partner in Paris what did you prefer in Paris I had some this girl Nails okay you like this name no I’ve kind of fallen in love with the city so

Far so uh it’s been amazing amazing experience so far and really enjoying it thank you it’s hard to explain to somebody when they’ve never dealt with a certain injury like this or they’ve never you can’t really it’s not a visible thing right you’re not spraying your ankle

You’re not twisting your knee and I don’t want to be back for one game and out you know I want to be back and come back and help this team win and get to the playoffs and see where we can go I’m kind of understanding like people want

To know what I’m doing they’re interested and they’re fascinated they pissed off you know some things you know I think I will open up and and a lot of people to see what is this place I think it’s important just to have Happ besides you know your job and

Then you allow your job to add to your happiness you know for me playing basketball would add to my happiness like I hate hate going to games and watching my team play without because I’m one of those people where I watch I try to correct every single plan on

The floor like and that’s just how my brain works it’s one of those times where I got to appreciate everything I have and everything that’s in front of me I’m not done I got more to give and true basketball people know that like my

IQ I have a high IQ I make people better guys like to play with me I play hard so it’s exciting to see how far I can go um I’ve accomplished a lot of different things as an individual but primarily like the ultimate goal is to win a

Championship in this league so for me it’s just building towards that and it doesn’t happen for every everybody but you know if you’re able to get to that spot where you’re able to win a championship it’s it’s a dream

We were in Paris for the 2024 NBA Paris Game.

  1. We all go through difficult times, but adequate support and willpower helps us move forward, don't give up Benjamin.

  2. Keep pushing brother. Block the outside noise, develop that jumper and free throw ability and you good. Nets 🌎

  3. Appreciation is key bro! Nailed that one, stay strong and have fun back on the court πŸ€πŸ”₯

  4. I genuinely feel for him because he seems like a genuine dude but this is also his last stop. Ain’t no one crazy enough to give him a new contract. Folks don’t ever underestimate the toxicity of the karTRASHIANs

  5. Well deserved trip to Paris mate!! Really put in the hard yards there! Might actually see you on the court soon? Oh wait nah probably not you still get your cheque regardless

  6. I'm praying for you Ben on journey back to playing again πŸ™ Continue to work on your mental health and doing great things off the court because you have the ability to make an impact on the world 🌎 outside of just basketball. Thank you for sharing with us your experience in Paris and I look forward to more video uploads soon.
