Shaq took us to the tourney, and yes it's a tough call on which was/is the worst foul shooter.



Sorry but don't use examples that make you look like a Moron. The reason you started calling names is you knew you were pinned,
Shack was another great player, but had much better team mates and a better Head Coach. Shack was a great rebounder, shot blocker, and dunker. Oh, he had great hands and could handle pretty good for a big man but he shot worse than Simmons.

He’ll be recognized as a true LSU Tiger right after he donates about $10 mil of that $168 mil he just signed for!

Just think, he led the team in assists and rebounds, made all SEC, first player selected in the draft, and rookie of the year in the NBA.
hollow stats. He led his team to nothing.

I expected much more from a generational talent and the no. 1 NBA pick.

How about JR? Would he be comparable. He was a generational talent and No 1 NFL pick. Is he still a Tiger. Oh, he didn't win rookie of the year.

Simmons was playing on the perimeter which normally requires some kind of shot.

Shaq played the post which required muscle and a good inside game.

Jamarcus Russell led us to a dominating win over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.

for god’s sake, spell his name right.

There’s not a single LSU fan on the planet that doesn’t know his name is Shaq.

Are you really an LSU fan?

It is simple why most LSU fans do not consider Ben Simmons as a Tiger. Zion Williamson the #1 Pick of NBA Draft 2019 played with heart knowing he was one and done. He was also an impact player leaving it on the court every game. Ben did not play with heart and really was a big disappointment.

First off most fans don’t hate Simmons, only a vocal minority which mostly hangs here. Actual fans aren’t privy to the false gossip and lies that run rampant on the Rant so they have no idea about the bias and hate pushed here. You’re simply ignorant if you really believe that Simmons didn’t play hard. Ben Simmons put up more production and did much more on the court than Zion Williamson and you can’t do that without playing as hard as possible. There isn’t a shred of evidence to support what you’re saying which is the case for all the ant-Simmons hate here. It’s been 4 years and nobody has produced even a slice of proof for any of these accusations and that says everything about you guys.

Says the guy making statements he can’t provide a shred of proof for. If hypocrisy were currency this place would be the biggest consolidation of billionaires on earth.

Did he not say that being at LSU was a waste of time?

It’s truly amazing how with information openly public to the contrary people still cling to Rant gossip. Lol it’s amusing I’ll admit but my god it’s sad as well.

And you interpret that as him saying he hates LSU? Lmfao my god man get help. What you failed to leave out was the context of the conversation which was Simmons disagreeing with the NBA rule and the NCAA exploitation of players. The comment had absolutely nothing to do with LSU even if you wanna put words in his mouth. So silly grow up
