That's not only about the hustle, you can't hustle out of nowhere. Something bothers him. Simmons looks frustrated af. It's clear, he can't do everything people expect him to do. The NBA is a meat grinder, he needs to either have a break from the game (maybe a definitive one), or go to a team where the pressure is way lower than Philadelphia and specially New York, even this has the risk of him being the "superstar" of the team. I'm no psychologist, but I think he doesn't believe how good he is, that's why he can't improve, he just doesn't let himself do what's good for him. I was in this situation (and go back sometimes) and I know a lot of people of my generation that's in this hole too, he's just a year younger than me, maybe it's a generational thing, idk. Ironically, he needs to "trust the process" and give a few steps back to go forward.

I think the problem is that there was too much hype of him being a big point guard like Lebron and Magic. If he came into the league as a small ball center instead of a guard, he would have a different career trajectory. In order to raise his draft stock, Simmons developed a skillset that would have the casuals hailing him as the next Lebron. He should have focused on big man fundamentals instead of trying to force himself to play as a guard, even if that meant that he would have not been as hyped as he was before entering the league

Summarize everything to one word: attitude.

Philly Native here, I watched him unravel 2 years ago n I was both sad for him, n mad at him. He clearly suffers from a thinking problem on court when the stakes are high. I have no clue if he was raised to feel entitled in his childhood, but him being a #1 draft value did not help. He has to somehow embrace adversity for love of the game n life in general. Truth is, I don’t think he loves the game. He loves celebrity status. Maybe once that status is 200% tarnished, he could dig deep n get better. That’s looking highly unlikely. Stranger things have happened though so who knows. I really hope he works on what’s hard, n gets aggressive.

Fultz worked hard to get better despite his own problems, but Simmons has got worse

Can't wait to see next cba agreement, I expect a lockout and a drastic less power for the players, Ben and Kyrie being the main cause of it.

Missing 4-14 FT's when fouled intentionally has to be morally devastating-especially in a Playoff Series. I have a hard time believing he is that bad shooting in practice (maybe I'm wrong). Ben Simmons needs to embrace this challenge and put in the work. Good Luck Ben...you will need a bit of it.

But remember in Feb 2021 Skip Bayless claims Simmons WENT OFF for 42 against Gobert and the Jazz. But classic Ben Simmons Philly still lost that game

Fultz is hitting mid range shots every game & even hitting 3s after his total collapse that was inches from killing his career... Just 100% proof Simmons is just too lazy to perfect his craft

@@analcommando1124 my point isnt on all that stuff its just about his ability to develop his jumpshot. If Fultz developed his shot within 2szn it gives Simmons 0 excuse not to have even a mid range jumper in 6th yr in the league

He drove us bat s*** crazy in Philly. Forget a mid range. Just shoot from 6 feet with a stop and pop. I suggested he watch Jalen Brunson. the guy never confronted his issues and was unbelievably arrogant and narcissistic. There is a consensus he wanted to be famous and a star but has no great love for the game. Probably the most despised athlete in the city's history.

If he had confidence he'd be nasty for sure his passes were insane and he played good defense he's scared of failure so he doesn't try

When I found out that he ignored Kobe’s advice, that’s when I knew he was a fraud. When a legend like Kobe gives you advice on how to be a better player, you listen. You gotta pretty dense to not take the advice from one of the greatest players in the game, but then again, Simmons did have that GPA problem back at LSU, so maybe he is *that* dense

Good job my man, fantastic production and clips I hadn't seen. 👍

This content and video is great! I love breakdown videos. Your explanations, humor & knowledge is well worth the watch- Keep up the great work!

This is way Giannis shots even 3-pointers at 25%. If you refuse to do this as a driver, you will hurt yourself because you close your driving lane. Even Charles Barkley understood this very early. Another example is Luca Doncic. He can shoot, but he's a lot better in his slowmo-drivings, but he shoots a lot because its the mix-up that's makes him strong and he got nearly 0 defense skills so he have to perform on the other end.

And people thought he could turn around the series with the Celtics, returning from a year without playing.

The minute he couldn't take the criticism in Philly for passing up a wide open layup. Then refused to play because he was called out by the fan's. I knew he was a failed player.

If Haslem can make that midrange jumper...no reason for Simmons to not even try

Crazy to look back. Reminds how before the draft his love for the game was questioned and now it shows. I honestly think he’s going to play out his contract and retire. If anything maybe go back to his home country and play there. Atleast he got the bag.

Big surprise, he refused to play in college. He also has no plan B. Amazing.

Craziest stat of this video is that Steven Adams is shooting 36% on 129 attempts this year.....bro seriously?

My eyeballs can guard Ben Simmons 😂

He was never a future HOF here In philly! He was always a strange bird with a broken wing. We just tried to overlook it for the sake of the team success

I think he was so accustomed to being told how great he was when in college without having to shoot, reality sunk in when he got surrounded by guys his size that forced him to shoot and it revealed his inability to shoot but more importantly his inability to want to get better at shooting

Academic problems in college should have been a warning... those guys at d1 schools get tutoring and easy majors... if you can't handle that the NBA might not be for you

When his doesn't want to listen to advice, his just gonna be stagnant. Kobe already gave him a huge amount of leads for him. But since he ignored him, so he did regress so bad now. 🤷

This is what happens when you never make any effort to consistently improve your game. Doesn’t help that he was surrounded by people that would always tell him how great he was as is.

This is a great video

U don’t have to shoot to be good. He was an all star, rookie of the year and all defensive team. He got injured and is no longer the same player. Can’t hate him for getting hurt
