Ben told the nets that the stress of playing was the cause of his back flaring up

[MVike28]

He actually needs to be collectively blackballed

this is outrageous

 

[GoFlipAPack]

Nicca that's his fuking job ain't it?

 

[MoneyBags]

I couldn’t be this nikka’s teammate, I’d be on some Jay-Z shyt, “go head, kill yourself…slit your wrist, jump off a building, the world would be a better place….just do it”

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

This is the end game of load management. he will pull this scam off and get his money but rules will be changed for others

Has to be done.. league can't really set that precedent.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

The players' union will just counter by accusing teams of sitting certain players out on purpose in order to not pay them.

Nah if they smart they can say if you dressed to play u get paid

 

[Consigliere]

He needs to retire. He will never recover from this as a player.

@phillycavsfan on suicide watch.

Why do you keep @ me on every Ben Simmons thread you fukking loser? What is wrong with you?

 

[pete clemenza]

He's not faking it too me. He legitimately looks shook imo. His camp finally fessed up instead of constantly putting out bullsh*t reports about his so called return. He wants no parts of seeing the floor. The red flag was years ago when we all learned he won't shoot a jumpshot. I knew something wasn't right way back then. Same camp and enablers recording him taking a ton of threes over the summer in the gym only to still never shoot the ball during the regular season. When the phobia finally touched his free throw shooting he was fully exposed and it was a wrap. Plus add in the fact that you can tell he doesn't care for the game at all. Another thing was all that funk he made about having to go to LSU for that one and done season. That should've been nothing but hoopin, partying, bad b*tches, football games, and gaining future connects with the alumni base but dude made it seem like he was sentenced to a year in prison. I think he's done career wise. Hope he gets the help he needs. The Union should suggest and help him get a buyout. If this continues even for another season its going to ruin a lot of their bargaining power during the next sit down in ironing out a new CBA

 

[MJ Truth]

They really making this dude a villain

He’s doing it himself. He’s become the poster child for Gen Z basketball now.

There’s a reason former players are openly calling him out for this shyt, and his teammates don’t really defend him like that.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

somebody need to spit in this nikka face…get him the fukk out the league

Type of shyt I’m talking about

 

[UberEatsDriver]

If Ben Simmons doesn’t see the floor in game 1 of 2022-23 season the nets need to man up and take immediate action

 

[Born2BKing]

He literally in a good spot. He's with the only superstar in the league who will side with him and put up with his bullshyt.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

like a remote worker who doesn't want to return to the office after covid

Seeing as to how my coworkers just caught covid, I disagree

He has to understand that the shyt he got clowned for, while embarrassing, was not irredeemable. He's not the first Philly failure and won't be the last. Now in NYC, we'll notice what he does, but he has the capability of fixing his on the court issues. If he approaches life the way he approaches basketball, how will he survive?


He needs a summer of hooping, but at Dyckman.

 

[Big Blue]

And you know what after this? I wouldn't blame them one bit. Imagine if Ben fukking Simmons starts a lockout.
