Classiest and most talented athlete in LSU history. The hatred he gets from the idiots on this site is dumbfounding.

I don't think anyone is disputing that Simmons is a phenomenal player.

I certainly am not.

Is he one of the best basketball players to ever suit up for LSU? Absolutely.

Is he one of the "Greatest Tigers Ever?" frick. No.

It was apparent that he didn't care for LSU by watching his play on the court. That feeling was slammed home by the Showtime special. What a count he is.

If I were picking all-time Tiger Basketball teams, I wouldn't put Ben Simmons in the Top 50. I would pick John Tudor, Geert Hammink, and Neboisha Bukimirovich over Ben Simmons' jank arse. He did nothing for LSU. He played for himself.

He can go kick rocks.

Well, I watched the games too.

Honestly, I felt like Simmons only put one foot on campus (because of the rules) and kept one foot out the door.
It never seemed to ME that he put both feet and all of his heart into his 1 year at LSU. Were his stats amazing, yes. Could LSU have won more games with that roster? Hell yes!!

If you look at the year prior to Simmons' arrival. I saw skrappers who fought for victories and played gritty to get wins. In Simmons' year, everything changed. The whole team played like they were just waiting to go pro.
If I am being 100% honest, I feel that Simmons infected the team in the locker room with a DGAF attitude that translated to some suprising losses.

All of this is my opinion, but from what I observed......this is why I have a problem annointing him one of the greatest Tigers ever.

And to really, really honest....I have a gut feeling he had already agreed to his shoe contract in Austrailia before he even got to LSU. This is pure speculation at how quickly the announcement after he declared. Same day if I remember correctly.
