27pts 15 Reb 13 Asst.

12/17 from the floor

Lead his team to victory over the Cavs to put his team into the 3 seed with 3 games to go.

Happy for the Former Tiger.

When I saw his stats in the 3rd quarter, I knew this thread was coming. Good for Ben. I'm happy for him.

Don't blame Ben for doing what he had to do.

Blame the system.

Has he meationed LSU positively in the past year?

You really think he’ll ever will again?

For fricks sake, he is on record as saying his part at LSU was a waste of time.

That’s “family?”


Given the smoke implying his toxic presence in the locker room down the stretch, regardless of his personal skills, I’m surprised he gets the acclaim he does here.


He helmed the team that flat out gave up.

Weird he just took a lottery team to the playoffs.

Seems like maybe the rest of the locker room
And coach (who aren’t in the NBA) weren’t good.

Because he’s where he wants to be


He has made clear that he HATED his time at LSU, and thinks it’s bullshite and he was taken advantage of being forced to go to college at all.

So you kinda can’t compare his pro attitude with his attitude here.

But still the excuses

I think He wanted to be here till he realized it was a clown show and he wasn’t going to get any coaching to improve him as a player and his team mates were going to expect him to win every game on his own.

He is very vocal on the topic, and he complains about EVERYTHING except literally that.

You might “feel” that was the main cause. But there are repeated interviews of him:

Pissed at the NCAA for making him go to college at all.

Pissed he spent a year not learning anything academically.

Pissed he spent a year not learning anything financially.

Pissed he spent a year not developing as a person.

Annoyed that he constantly had to deal with temptation of people trying to bribe him.

Everything.

You won’t find a single thing he ever said positively about LSU after his draft. Period.


And people want to call him in the same group as Shaq, OBJ, LF, PP, etc etc who have been proud ambassadors?

You will NEVER get him to set foot on this campus ever again, for any reason.

I don’t know why some fans are so hung up on him.

I wish him no ill. Props for his success.

But he’s not a Tiger. We were just a rubber stamp for him to get to his real goals.
