re: Stephen A goes off on Ben Simmons quitting on LSU and pro teams

I remember when Ben Simmons barely touched the ball in the final ten minutes of a back and forth game vs. #1 Oklahoma. This board went ape shite because Johnny Jones didn’t draw up plays for Simmons. I think many are finally realizing that Ben Simmons wants nothing to do with the ball in crunch time of any big games. He’s an embarrassment to LSU.

and earlier in the season Simmons passed up a game-winning shot against Marquette. Even the no-name TV commentator was shocked by that.

And then, as you mentioned, was the Oklahoma debacle, where Simmons flat-out HID in the second half. Vitale and Musberger were BEGGING Simmons to engage, but he hid.

That tells you everything about Simmons. He has no killer instinct, and he knows HE CAN'T SHOOT.

And then there was the playoff game last year where he passed up a dunk (literally) to pass to a teammate. That sealed it for Simmons in Philly.
