Ben gets way too much shite than he deserves.

Fans pissed he wasn’t just Lebron James dragging our team to the Final Four.

That and his comments about not learning anything in college being taken personally.

Maybe the haters can explain "why" that was a fact.
All he was saying was, I was as good at playing basketball the day I stepped off the airplane in B.R. as when I left.


How many on the "list" made Rookie of the year in the NBA.
Simmons must have had something extra, that was missing from most on that list.

Remember when he didn’t shoot for like the last 5 minutes against Oklahoma? I remember.

I remember him. I liked the time he had the referee throw the ball to him a second time, with more emphasis. He may not have been perfect, but he demanded effort from his refs!

I'll never forget it. He flat out hid.

And Vitale (who constantly blows players) was BEGGING Simmons to engage, but he hid instead.

And who can forget Simmons passing up the game-winning shot against Marquette earlier in the season. Even the no-name TV commentator was stunned about that one, as was I.

But then I realized that Simmons can't shoot, and he knows it.

Sorry but Simmons blows.

As does Giannis. Paul George.

The list goes on and on.

How can you not hit throws in the NBA? Unacceptable.

Anybody see the humor in 4-14 on free throws being followed up by "All time great"?
