Would you still hate Ben Simmons if he signed with LSU now?

First, let me say, I can't stand Simmons and I think he's POS and will never be a fan of his. With that being said, however, do you think your feelings about Simmons would change today since most of the players are coming for the money and couldn't care less about LSU?

Absolutely. Ben Simmons is one of the biggest losers to ever play for LSU

Depends. Will he play like he really doesn't want to be here again?

I don't want any former pro players on rosters in the NCAA period including what LSU is doing now personally. So, no.

Do think all 64 new players on the team want to be at LSU or are here strictly for the money? IMO, most of the transfer players are at LSU for the money and will leave if they get a bigger offer elsewhere or are upset LSU didn't bow down to their every demand.

If Ben Simmons went on to be a perennial All Star and future Hall of Famer, I still wouldn’t be a fan. The only reason he came to LSU was because he couldn’t go straight to the NBA and his godfather happened to be an LSU assistant coach who could babysit him for the 6-7 months he was on campus. He never gave a shite about his teammates, the program or the university.

I mean yeah they are here for the money but as long as they pretend to care about the team and playing well who cares

Ben Simmons didn’t do that even when the team was tanking he’s just a total loser it’s who he is and his time in the NBA was the same way. You can’t change someone with that loser attitude

LOL.. what did he actually do to LSU ? Play on a bad team coached by JJ?

he played well enough at LSU to be the #1 overall pick.. and he was a 3× NBA All-Star (2019, 2020, 2021) , 2× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2020, 2021), NBA Rookie of the Year (2018), NBA Steals Leader (2020)... played well enough to get a 177mil 2nd contract, then things did not work out, partly due to injuries and partly mental but no idea what he actually did to LSU for the fans to hate him

Not being able to handle criticism and refusing to put in the work is not a mental health issue. That’s being a self entitled brat. Which is why most of us can’t stand him. Even shaq can’t stand him

My biggest problem was his smug attitude and he expected the entire fanbase to bow down to him.

I would love to put Shaq and Simmons in a room for five minutes, no cameras or recording. Shaq can't stand the dude!

You wouldn’t take 19ppg, 11rpg, 5apg and 2spg? Imagine what Wade could do with a guy like that.
