He was a waste from day one. He never wanted to be here. I don't care about his career. Couldn't care about him or if he's ever associated with LSU.

Shaq promised his mom he'd finish college. I think it was parental influence that kept him at LSU for those 3 years.

I felt his pain. Simmons attitude was never about him. It was about the piss poor basketball environment of Johnny Jones coached (I laughed to ????) LSU Tigers. Johnny Jones is a low IQ system boy. Ben Simmons got shafted being steered to Johnny Jones.

The hate Ben Simmons gets on this board is stupid. He’s a product of the one and done rule. Simmons had no business playing college basketball. Of course he’s going to be bitter about losing millions of dollars because of a dumb NBA rule.

The comments like “he used LSU as a stepping stone” and “it was only ever about business for him” are so hypocritical it’s painful. You’re telling me that you busted your arse at LSU to get your business, engineering, accounting, chemistry, etc degree, in order to make your department look good? No, you enjoyed college life and did enough work to meet the requirements to graduate and get a good job.

Stop being obsessed with Ben Simmons just because he doesn’t like LSU as much as you do.

I think his point is that he didn't care about LSU and is railing on the fact that he was required to go and got nothing from it

I wouldn't get worked up over this. He would have made this statement about wherever he went. Still can't believe he came to college instead of playing a year over seas.

He used his year to work on his ball handling and passing to be a "point forward". I watched him play in high school and he looked different. A big reason he came here was because Jones would let him do that. Coach K, Cal, Williams etc. would have had him on the bench if he didn't play doing what was best for the team.

I didn't learn anything watching Simmons at LSU, except how to watch bad, uninspired basketball.

Because Shaq had parents who expected him to be more than just a basketball player. Shaq is in another realm compared to anything Ben Simmons will ever be.

My question is, "What did he ever do for you?"

Weird


Shaq is far above Ben in class and attitude. Ben has always been about Ben and nothing else. His time at LSU was a waste of LSU's time also.
