Not at all. Ben gets to sit next to the greatest talk show host of all time. Nothing he does will ever top it.

Whoopi might be worth watching. She used to be big and is at least entertaining. She pulls no punches and lays it out with no BS.

Chad Ford ripped the LSU program this morning on Mike & Mike. Basically said Simmons made a stupid decision to go to LSU and not Kansas or Kentucky. That it was an immature decision by a teen ager. Said LSU was bad for Simmons. Other players worried more about their draft status and trying to impress the scouts there to see Simmons play. Blamed some coaching things on CJJ. Said it was a terrible fit all around.

I wish I could sit on a talk radio show with people like him and some of our fans. I would wipe the floor with them.

Yep, he couldve sat the bench with fellow top 3 recruits in Diallo and Alexander at Kansas. He couldve seen his hype drop like Andrew Wiggins did at Kansas. He couldve been the top recruit in the country like Josh Selby and become a 2nd round pick. I can go on and on about 1 and done recruits choosing Kansas.

Ben can't carry an interview and Fallon's school newspaper level interview skills combined to make that pretty boring.

This kid is set up for a huge fall. He is going to get eaten alive in the NBA. I mean bitch slapped.

If the kid played soft in the SEC over 30 some odd games how do you think he is going to do at the NBA level with millions of dollars in his pocket for doing absolutely zip before his 1st game? By the way the NBA plays over 80 games in the regulat season.

Anyone who thinks a player can just play and turn it on and off is kidding themselves. Ben Simmons is soft and if he is the #1 player in the draft then it is a weak draft.

I don't think Ben could beat out Omer Asik in three point shootout. Just think what Fallon would do to him

Greatest talk show host? I think Johnny Carson was better. However--regardless of difference of opinions--somehow the song "Stuck in the Middle with You" came to mind when I read that Ben was to be on the show. The first verse:

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you...

The rest of the lyrics are here LINK

Will this be Ben's theme--or was it at LSU?

He did fine. The kid is 19 and he is an athlete not an entertainer. Not everyone is Shaq.
