A Thank You to Anfernee Simons | Portland Trail Blazers
Anthony Simons is one of a handful of eventual NBA players that skipped college without going straight to the NBA. Some go overseas or the G-League and get paid. But Simons went a different route. The Portland Trailblazers select Anthony Simons from Alimon Springs, Florida. Florida. I would see myself as a guy that can score the ball and be able to do multiple things. Score, pass, um, play defense. Simons. A change of pace. Simons the spin and a finish. Crossover through the wicket. It’s into the lane and spins into the air. Fed it up and in. What in the IMG did he just do? Simons a three. Got it. Anthony Simons. A triple. The rookie Anthony Simons. Wow. What a display. The last Blazers rookie to score 30 plus would be your mentor Damen Lillard. What does that mean to you? Oh, it means a lot honestly. Simons ties the NBA record for most threes made without a miss. Felt like I couldn’t miss at all. And u you know that’s what happened. He went and got that freeze at the 52. Time for your AT&T slam dunk champion Anthony Simon. Simon open court steel. Here is your slam dunk champion. We are pleased to announce that our very own Anthony Simons has won the NBA’s Community Assist Award. You know, continue to, you know, inspire them to, you know, be something. Anony’s being recognized by the NBA for his outstanding efforts. Presenting NBA Care’s Bob Laneir Community Assist award to Anthony Simon. Buzzer beater for Simons. Had it off before the red light. Simons down to six. locked in on him now with Westbrook defending. Here he comes. Drives into the lane. Adam Banks scores. Get out of here. End of the game. Can’t be afraid to fail. I always say those are moments that we live for playing as a little kid. So, you know, this place deep buries it past Wesley Matthews for third place. The alltime trailblazers three-pointers made. I learned a lot, you know, about the team, but myself individually. and a guard 64 from Florida High. I think I’ve improved in a lot of areas and uh I’m happy that I was able to come out and and be successful. Number one. Number one. Like I always said, I always just try to do my part and try to, you know, play my best each and every night.

blazers legend
Legend
Weโll miss you. Hope you do great on the Celtics thank you for everything โคโคโคโคโค
he made scoring and sharing look easy
Wish him well
Is it true that Boston didn't even have a press conference for Simons???
Um enorme erro perdermos o Simons. Estou triste pela saรญda dele โน๏ธ
O Holliday sequer demonstra vontade de estar conosco. Eu nรฃo faria a troca. Prefiro o Simons. Craque, alรฉm de muito mais jovem.
Feels like yesterday when he was 18 and scored 37 against the kings๐ข๐ฎ๐ข๐ข
Respect to Ant, Wish him the best. Goodluck sir!
Youre an absolute beast Simons, always exciting to watch you play. I truly wish you the best and we will all miss you bud.
Had a great time watching anfernee play alongside dame and others wish him nothing but good things in boston!
Why did we let him go โค๏ธ๐ฉธ
Boston fans are gonna love this guy.
heck, we might see Simons in a playoff game … imagine that ?
I'm very sad because of this decision ๐ข
So nice doing this video!
Anfernee will always be loved in Rip City ๐ค๐คโค๏ธ๐ฉถ
Always a class act. Just now entering his prime and traded for experience and larger contracts.
I don't get it but I wish our Ant-Man all the best!
The most underrated and disrespected Trail Blazer weโve had. Rip City didnโt deserve or understand how much of a true bucket getter you really are. No offensive weakness. Wish you could have finished your career here. Iโll be cheering you on no matter the jersey. You deserve a shot at a title. Respect ๐ซก
Thank you for being a Blazer! You will be missed Antman!
Thanks Ant, good luck in Boston
Heโs COMMING to Memphis someday
