good, he deserves all the hate he can get, hes a scumbag for declining to show up at the training camp and saying he wont play for phila anymore fuck him, he brough it on himself
I’m not sure why PHI even wants Simmons to show up at this point. It’s not like he’s going to play so well that his trade value is going to go back up to what it was two years ago. Everyone knows his playoff issues won’t magically go away, and everyone knows he’s got a pouty ego.
c'mon man. It isn't a one way street. His coach threw him under the bus; the franchise player threw him under the bus; and Philly fans trashed him unmercifully and threw him under the bus. Then they backed the bus up over his body and ran over him again and again. And all of that happened BEFORE he said he wasn't going to report. The team blamed him for the loss to Atlanta; and the fans blamed him for the loss, and they treated him like shit the team offered him no cover at all. They offered him no loyalty because it was convenient to make him the scapegoat. Simmons is returning the same loyalty to Philly that Philly showed him sure, he could have probably handled it a little better, but again, his team, and the city, made that almost impossible
Imagine Dame and Stotts doing this to CJ for his equally catastrophic blunder of stepping out of bounds. Then the fans burning his jersey. Oh right we can’t, because that would never happen here. Why, because we aren't a toxic city and franchise with a low-class Superstar like Embiid.
he never even tried to shoot in games and it hurts their team, not just when it comes to scoring, but spacing the floor too, so naturally phila fans were angry and obviously there will be criticism (which is okay) and insults (which is not okay, but it is what it is, we all get insulted at some point), just man the fuck up and move forward and try to improve your game sure, doc rivers and embiid didnt help at all, but you have to understand them, especially embiid, guy did everything in his power to win, but it wasnt enough, cause he need help and simmons doesnt help as much as he should... i have no symphaty for him and like i said, he brought it on himself by not trying to improve his shot and acting like a scumbag
meyers leonard was booed at moda center and was criticized a lot by our fans i dont know if he got insulted in the arena, but he was insulted on social media for sure and no-one is gonna burn his jersey, cause no-one has his jersey lol but who gives a fuck about meyers leonard, ben simmons was considered a franchise player by some, joel embiid by others and hes getting paid $177 mil and is not playing up to his contract
Right. The classy way to do it is to get fat and pout, like Nurkic did in Denver? The Sixers have been trying to trade him for a while and both his coach and franchise star threw him under the bus because they did not build a system suited for his strength. The team is as responsible as he is, imho.
Has anyone seen him lately? How do we know he didn't hire Charles Barkley as his personal trainer and has blown up to 300 pounds?
there is no problem in him wanting out, but there is every problem in him not willing to play for his team anymore and being punished for it wont help the team i fully understand that he doesnt want to stay there anymore, but he should ask for a trade and play until they trade him and if they dont want to trade him, then he should do whatever it takes to force the trade fans are shiffty, improve your game and everyone will love you again, thats how it works
You had the wrong tag selected, but most of us paying attention know that Simmons is superior to CJ in every stat except FT% and 3pt% and almost all advanced stats as well.
Fuck that shit. the Sixers proved they do not care for him. If he can afford to get a hit, after the way they threw him under the bus - he can look for himself first. Respect needs to go both ways. I have no problem with a player thinking of himself first if the team did the same.
