The dude literally can't shoot the basketball. He will never have a moment like Lebron did last night, and will never be the guy to take the final shot. Unless its a drive in situation. Ben Simmons will be a great player for years, but will never sniff the likes of the top ten players of all time.

I dislike Lebron severely, but Ben Simmons has about as good of a chance at being considered better than him as I do of making the NBA.

Again, you're comparing LeBron in his 15th year to Simmons in his rookie year. LeBron had no outside shot his rookie year either and was known for not taking over games in the final minutes for the overwhelming majority of his career.

If you put LeBron on the worst team in the NBA, Phoenix Suns or any other bad team, for next year they would at least double their victory total and you would see great improvement from all of their players. Simmons would certainly improve any team, but he is always going to require another star player.

Don't get me wrong, every Batman needs a Robin to truly achieve their greatness. I think Simmons will always be that second guy and I really believe that's where he wants to be and pretty much any star player would love to have Ben Simmons on his team.
