LOL. Well, they got 15 games out of him, and only had to pay him $35 Mil , so I guess it wasn't a completely wasted year. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will he sit on the Nets bench wearing those "look at me" outfits?
His nets career? It should be the end OF his career obviously basketball isn’t doing his body any favors he is only getting older he’s never going to get better then what he is now and he’s barely above average now
Get rid of him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is exactly what I predicted Ben Simmons would do from day one. He was going to use that phantom back injury to get out of playing once he started once he started stinking up the place with his lousy playing.
He bout to end up like Dwight howard
Definitely boosting his stats
Ben fooled us all 😮
