You're just not very smart. And I'm sorry about that.

Tyrann won't brick a 4 ft jump shot.

Tyrann never has and never will forget from whence he came. Ben is a legend in his own mind who needs no one.

You can't be an LSU fan if you have to ask this question.

FWIW, Tyrann donated a huge chunk of money to the new Football Ops building. Do you think Simmons will ever donate a like amount?

Simmons took a dive in several games.. he refused to play in the NIT. Then he took several shots at LSU in an ESPN appearance... so other than that I cannot think of any reason

Because Simmons is a soft pu**y that can’t shoot and has never been about LSU. In fact he’s talked a lot of shite about LSU.

Honey Badger got kicked off the team for weed but has always loved LSU. Very publicly supported LSU, and if you love LSU, LSU will love you back. (See Shaq) He’s donated a shite ton of money to LSU as well.

Honey Badger had a mid-range jump shot. Ben Simmons did not.

Having trouble seeing where the LSU shite talking is located in that article. What did he say that was wrong? The minimum 1yr of college rule is dumb.

Tyran made some poor decisions when young and owned up to that. Tyran actually loves and still represents LSU. Simmons doesn’t seem to care about LSU and came here because of his god father and having to play one year of college ball before going pro.

Because of all the reasons that have been mentioned already plus the fact that the Badger is the greatest LSU defensive player of all time.

This is the key.

A good example is Joe Burrow. By the end of last year, everyone loved him. He was P&G through and through and was (and continues to be) 100% committed to this team.

I never got that from Simmons. LSU always just seemed like a means to an end to him. Nothing against him, but he’ll simply never be a fan favorite because of that.
