his attitude is more like, I'm just here to play basketball and get paid. it didn't matter how I played it.

my thoughts why I wasn't impressed by him. atleast, Yawnist worked on his game being drafted at #15.

Drummond don't care about ball either and he's on his 11th season. I think Ben can accomplish that.

He can't do that after 2025?

Of course he can. Hey that’s a lot of money to walk away from but if you gotta fake a knee injury on a Thursday night in Detroit because you don’t want to play, 2025 can seem like 10 years away.

are you all talking about me?The frustrating thing with Ben is, he simply REFUSED to work on his game. And everybody on his teams/organization has CODDLED him and excuses it because of simply his stature as a player/prospect.
Never mind him being scared to shoot. The fact that teams reinforced his idea that he didn’t NEED to shoot or even work on it or show progress, to help his organization was already a telling sign.
It’s like a clearly overweight star, convincing everybody that he does not need to get in shape to be better for his team, because he can set screens or something. And the entire organization agreeing with it, and treating him with kid gloves
It’s insane

I think Ben Simmons likes playing basketball.
but is deathly afraid of looking bad in public.
I remember Draftexpress calling this out at Adidas nations I think,
He said something like Ben doesn't like to look bad in public so he phones in pre game warm shooting drills.
better to look like your not really trying and fail. that way you have an excuse
now it's degenerated into "better to not try at all"

Who’s situation is worse? Ben stealing money and a roster spot, or Udonis stealing money and a roster spot?
The most egregious thing though, was Ben trying to use mental health, to recoup all the money he was being fined for, by Philly. Shameful man.
“I’m scared of the crowd, I’m not physically hurt, I’m not going to show up, but I still want to get paid”

for a guy gifted with certain basketball skills, him being afraid to look bad makes it he made a wrong career choice. he should have been went into politics.
even people that are ungifted in basketball are not afraid to look bad playing the game.
