My position is the nerd is trolling.


He used 4 white guys.
A heisman trophy winner, a baseball coach and player and the goat basketball player to ever play the game much less play at LSU.

He didn’t mention Shaq or chis Jackson.

He did it purposely bc the geek knows half board doesn’t like BS and are tired of the weekly suck Ben semmons cock thread.
Don’t be so fricking dunce next time.

While it’s not racist to use those other men’s names ......quit kidding yourself, this geek knew exactly what he was doing. Certainly using race angle to troll.

You’re dumb as shite if you can’t see that.

No one at LSU has any reason to feel any negative way about him. But this is America. there’s always something deeper.

He gets the hate because he came to LSU and quit on his team and hates LSU. So frick him.


Imagine quitting on the team and still putting up the numbers he did. Damn.

He doesnt hate LSU either. He hates the NCAA, which is misplaced hate too. The NCAA didn't force him to play for a year elsewhere before he could get drafted - the NBA made that rule.

Ben let politics get in his public persona. That’s stupid.

I dissagree. At the very end when the whole thing was a trainwreck I feel the whole team quit due to the discoarse and JJ just not being able to handle manage the team. As I said before Ben played a big role in that discoarse, but LSU paid Jones millions of dollars to be the guy that could handle a bunch of 18 to 20 yr olds. I would bet Wade could have done a lot with that team.

You are correct. He doesn't owe me shite just like I don't owe him shite to root for his success.


Good for you...I'm sure he will lose a lot of sleep if you decide not to root for his success.

give the race card a rest, Darius, it's WAY overused.

It's 2019 -- the vast, vast, vast majority of us don't care about race. I don't like Simmons, but it never even crossed my mind that his dad is black and mom is white. Irrelevant.

I have nothing against Ben Simmons but get his degree??? I don't think he saw the inside of a classroom the entire time he was here. He got a one year degree in basketball and is cashing in on it. That's okay.

We were a means to end for that dude. There's no real issue with that...it's pretty common in college b-ball today, but I see no reason to have love for him.

well his godfather isn't coaching here anymore, so I doubt seriously Simmons would choose LSU again. That's the only reason he came here.
I don't know how people can downvote this.

Simmons had ZERO connection to LSU. He's from Australia via a Florida high school. It's universally known that the ONLY reason he came here was because his godfather was on the coaching staff. That's it.

If David Patrick was coaching somewhere else, Simmons would've gone elsewhere.

Let's stop pretending Simmons "chose" LSU for some deep appreciation or love of the school or the state. It's just because his godfather was here, and now he's gone too.

Ben will never need a degree from LSU. He will make a bunch of money in the NBA. If he ever wants to get an education during his lifetime, he can pay his way to where ever he wants to go. The guy was a great player at LSU. He didn't beat up any girlfriends. He was well spoken. He played his one obligatory year in College ball and that's it. Love him for the one year he played here and quit trashing the dude. He grew up in Australia dreaming about playing in the NBA. He didn't care about Kentucky, Kansas, NC, Duke, or any of them and he wasn't bonkers about LSU either, like we fans are. So please get over your LSU selves and wish the kid a happy life and a great career. I'm sick of the Ben bashing. Out!


Is the "well spoken" comment supposed to be a compliment? It insinuates that you're surprised that he is. I think that's the race baiting comment that another poster was commenting about.

what race is he baiting? Ben's bi-racial, like Tiger, Obama, Patrick Mahomes, and a shite-ton of folks nowadays. It's way past time to retire the race-card.
