Good luck to former Tiger and current All-Star, Ben Simmons, who will be on #TeamLeBron for tonight's NBA All-Star Game!

Well.... despite the news, we are still insanely proud of Ben for being selected for his third NBA All-Star Game

Is that is meant by "despite the news" in the LSU tweet?

Just curious, but has Simmons showed any support for LSU since he left?

He’s a pretty good player...could be a great player if he worked on his outside shot.

Yes. He did on Inside the NBA the other night when talking to Shaq plus he's tweeted out many times supporting LSU after wins. There was a thread here last year and I believe it was Salvati that listed a bunch of his tweets.

If he was coming out now, he’d probably go the G League route like Kuminga and Green. He hated college.

He hated going to school in general, not LSU specifically

Just shows how much I watch and/or care about the NBA. If I didn't see the LSU tweet I wouldn't have even known there was an NBA game happening today.

You’re right, if Simmons would’ve just averaged 40points, 20rebs and 15 assists we would’ve been fine. You’re the same type of poster who said we’d be better the next season when we went 2-16 in SEC play and were blown out of almost every game by the 8 minute mark in the 1st half lol.
