It’s time we reevaluate our expectations of Ben Simmons - Shannon Sharpe | NBA | UNDISPUTED
Ben Simmons is still taking a lot of heat for passing up a late dunk in Philadelphia 76ers' Game 7 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. He was also an all-time worst in the playoffs at 34 percent free throw shooting of someone with at least 70 attempts. Doc Rivers feels confident that this will be the offseason that Simmons can finally improve his shooting. The 76ers coach told reporters quote, 'I believe, without going into detail with what we're doing, I believe we know what the right work is, and the right type of work, and the right way to do it.' Hear what Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe have to say about Ben Simmons and his performance in Round 2.

That Coach's have to get him in the gym and shoot shots all summer.
Is lonzo ball better then Ben Simmons
At this point Skip means, you have to skip when he starts talking.
Shannon: "my grandfather use to say never mistake habit for hard work" 💯
Shannon has all the book of quotes
Good habits will keep you out of trouble and bad habits will get you into trouble.
@@MrNaturalSez whaaaaat so deep
@@MrNaturalSez bad habits can be mistaken for good habits tho
I kno so many people that that quote applies to, that’s a gem quote right there
Simmons played so bad that he’s getting more segments than Lebron and all the people still in the playoffs
Yuppp and Ben has shown mutiple years he doesn’t show up in playoff games I remember when Boston held Ben to zero points and I think it was in 5 or 6 for Boston.
@No Morals wtf is wrong with you?
Because it’s a huge story that allowed a big underdog win against a heavily favored team.
They get exposed in playoff series; if you have a significant weakness in your game, the NBA playoffs is not the place for you
Damage control
Draymond: overachiever with his talent Ben Simmons: underachiever with his talent
Righto
It's all in the mentality. Unfortunately Ben has the mentality of a wet pool noodle
@@strahinjasalajic627 Lmao poole noodle
Draymond works hard, can't say the same about Simmons.
100%
100% agree with Shannon. Draymond Green was the first person to come to mind with Ben’s play style. Difference is, Draymond isn’t afraid to take shots and even make them from time to time. Lol
Thats crazy draymond is a terrible shooter not a all star this year and he still has confidence to keep shooting but ben cant 🙄
Exactly. Draymond would have certain games where he would explode on the offensive end of the floor by making threes and other jump shots (look at certain finals games where he’d go crazy which is why it was so hard to beat GSW beacuse they’d always have an unexpected contribution) . Ben, if it’s not a layup then it’s nothing. And NOW he won’t even attempt that. It’s crazy because in high school and college Ben would shoot and makes jump shots, naw you can’t even pay him (literally) to take a shot, EVEN THO he practices them before games lol Also Giannis is not more athletic than Ben. As you can see, Ben is a great one on one defender, even if small guards. Giannis has none of Bens lateral movement which is why they didn’t put him on KD because that much because Giannis woulda fouled outta every game. Giannis is not a good one on one defender, he lacks lateral movement (which is also why he has no offensive moves), y’all gotta stop letting these DPOY awards trick y’all into thinking that They can guard any/every person (Gobert and Giannis just showed you that).
@@pimpindnice910 even a layup too lol. Passing up that layup in the fourth🤦
Simmons will need to be on a team full of shooters to maximize his effectiveness. I would think somewhere like Atlanta would be a good spot (assuming they don’t have to give anyone up to get him)
@@treychapo1898 draymon shoots better than ginnas stop playing wit him
Skip still talkin about that 1 good game ben simmons had dis whole year 😂😂
But he won't talk about that 5 points in Game 7... Even that kid from that cartoon Ben 10 had more aliens in his watch...
Like someone said trade him to the gundong tigers or some team in china. Lord knows they need bricks down there.
Luka have dozens of game like that and Lebron have hundreds of games like that and he discredit both.
It’s silly how far he’ll go to defend a player but then he’s overly critical on guys he doesn’t like
@@antjacksonjr he said he doesn’t think Tatum has “that dog” in him when he literally dropped 60 on his spurs and led his team back down 32 lmaoo. Not to mention he’s one of the most clutch players in the league already
Ben “I am who I am” Simmons has a better career at PubG than in the nba😂
He been training the wrong shot
"Appreciate what I do" - Ben Simmons circa 2017
Benjamin Simpson is overrated
Shaquille “chuck how many rings you got?” O’Neal
NBA executives have been saying this about Simmons not having any fight in him for years. Why is everybody surprised all of a sudden?
So one 42 point game negates multiple, horrendous post seasons? Didn’t he have the worst playoff FT% in NBA history? Forget Playoff P, we got Playoff B here 😬
Thank you he keeps talking bout one good game. Like open your eyes, in the playoffs where it matters most he’s not going to shoot the ball.
Because skip only applies his negativity towards Bron,Dame and Luka
Bendemic Simmons
I think he was bringing up, to tell people he’s capable of doing it especially on defensive team without even taking a shot outside the paint 🤷🏾♂️
@@dakingoffly Don't forget Steph
Shannons analogies usually by his grandparents are always spot on and make you think. He's a very wise man
I think he was raised by his grandparents
@@otaviofrn_adv he was
@No Morals bro no....
@No Morals name checks out
@No Morals whoa
Skip: Defends Ben Simmons 20% FT Skip: Say Bron can't be goat with 70% FT
Bron isn't the goat tho
@King D I think that Skip has a problem with the GOAT talk with free throw is because of who Lebron needs to be compared too. Micheal, Kobe, Magic, Bird could all hit their free throws at a higher clip than LeBron so that is a mark against him. Simmons is just being compared to the level of an All-star or a top 15-ish player in the nba. The level is different
@@robskoglund2712 Ok, but on the all star level he is the worst free throw shooter of them all. For both of them at the level they are at they are bad free throw shooters.
@@robskoglund2712 Skip just has a problem with LeBron full stop lol. He'll continue to shift the goalposts, the free throws are just a pretext.
This comparison is silly. LBJ is compared to the one and only GOAT, MJ, not Simmons. LBJ will never be on MJ’s level 💯
Crazy how he won rookie of the year over donavon Mitchell, like wow
It wasn't crazy, he deserved it, even though technically it was his second year. What's crazy is the fact that his rookie year is his best year up to now.
He did avg 16/8/8 to his credit which is real good for rookie
He was not a rookie nor better than Mitchell in any of his years
@@atanasiv he was not and the fact that in your second yr your even close to donovan mitchell a real rookie who smoked okc his first playoff shouldnt get blessed with that reward
Well to he fair Mitchell didnt really break out til end of yr 2. Statistically Ben had better year but clearly the tables are turned
This has now become a national crisis. Congress just announced that they will be holding a hearing and summoning Doc and Embiid.
Doc is part of the problem.
@@iluvcakes19 I don't remember Doc missing free throws in this series. Or passing wide open dunks.
@@iluvcakes19 doc can’t get on the floor and dunk the ball for Simmons 😭
@@iluvcakes19 Doc would have made more of his free throws😂
He is part though. As a head coach, you should know better how the plays run and your players game. At that point, Ben Simmons was playing 30min and he is no threat at all in offense except passing. Learn how to draw from the card and let others have the opportunity to grow. Ty Lue drew Mann, Nate's Huerter... Head Coach brings decision and motivation, Ty Lue did that with Clippers which Doc Rivers utterly failed to do so. That's just my take.
Simmons has so much God-given talent, he can get where he wants without putting more effort than most. And if he lived with that way for most of his life, it's hard to be motivated. Remember Skip questioned Simmons' passion for basketball beyond his talent before the draft.
Exactly I remember. He’s kind of forced to take an opposing take
Ben Simmons biggest issue is his cockyness. He's so scared about failure that he prefers to pass the ball even when he can do it all by himself. With Embiid he didn't feel to be equally accountable,he let Joel go forward in front of him. Philly tried to give him a shot doctor since year one, but he preferred to work with his brother and that's the result. He wants to do his way, but like that he let the team down when matter the most. If he doesn't show some humility and seek some real help then he better go.
No cap he’s too prideful .. it hurts him so bad because he’s afraid of failure that game 7 literally shows how Trae Young and Ben Simmons are complete opposites in every way and shows what works in the league Trae was bricking everything but still was confident enough to take the last big shot while Ben is scared cause the fouled him on purpose
Cool to read someone that looks at the NBA like me :) Also funny how media flips so fast on players!! Im pretty sure Ben will come back next year shooting Right Handed.... No Joke!! Watch "Mike Korzembas" take on it (youtube) He said not to the National team...."need to work on my game"
Boy you said it plain Jack
He's so afraid of failure that he's now become afraid of success.....
He's so arrogant
Ben gonna go on 2K and improve all his shooting ratings in tears with all this slander
**Tearfully turns off the PS5**
bruh
Ben crying in the corner like "just 1 more finishing badge and I'll show them" 🤣
@@strahinjasalajic627 Bro went to freestyle, and started knocking down 3s, after putting a 99 3pt rating😂😂😂😂
Lollllll
The way people defend Ben Simmons you would think it's only his first year in the league
Ben was the first pick of his draft… no more excuses
Anthony Bennett was Also first pick of his draft.
@@Ahoto_papa_biisn't Bennett out the NBA
@@Ahoto_papa_bi why did you choose Anthony Bennett 😂☠️?
You wanna reevaluate him now after paying him millions when you knew what you was getting 😂😂😂
I think they thought he would keep getting better, but he is trash.
@@taimur466 He hasn't shot any better since his rookie year, why would they think giving him 170 million dollars would motivate him to do mor?
@@snapperl am i part of the 76ers front office???
He is a 6’9 Rondo without the killer mentality
Rondo is a willing shooter. Has gotten better
@ifeoluwapo tikolo wasn't rondo like 55% from free for basically his whole career? Besides maybe past 3 years
rondo can shoot though, even shot 3 pointers and help the lakers win last year. He was easily the 3rd best player in the team after Davis and Lebron. Ben is more like a 6'9 Shaq
bruh if sixers had prime rondo they would be in the ecf right now fym
That’s like saying he’s a random dude from the y that is 6-10 and super athletic
If Ben Simmons was a boxer, he'd probably refuse to throw a punch.
He would be adrian broner. Both Showed glimpses of talent but too scared to open up or their ego is blinding them for their obvious yet simple fix flaws
Lolllll
Lmao
@@pokemaster211 perfect analogy.
@Jay Theboss 😂😂right but you get the compassion
If he could be Draymond they would have swept the Hawks.
Lmao no. Trae ain't getting swept by anyone. He's like Iverson in the sense that he'll get you at least one game.
It's not that he can't get better. It's that he doesn't seem to care. "I am who I am" "It is what it is". Nah bro
Facts
He’s a clown 🤡
He is what he is. And he ain't worth his damn contract, that's for sure.
Facts. That’s what is the most frustrating. Looking at his post game interviews, he doesn’t care and comes off like his weaknesses for his team doesn’t matter.
Maybe if he wasnt the #1 pick and ROTY, then I wouldn’t expect him to perform like this
he also paid $30 million a year
0:54 skip be taking power naps while Shannon rambles🤣🤣
This is pretty simple, you have to pick your poison: do you want embiid in the post and have Ben not score much, or do you want embiid at the perimeter and Ben driving in and scoring/kicking it out. This teams built around embiid and they don’t mesh well enough together to win a chip. Trade him and watch him shine
Ya I agree. With shooters around him and run a fast paced transition scoring. And drive and dish.
Philly should trade Ben Simmons to my Raptors because we will make em shine
Trade that kangaroo. Imagine inside their locker room right now. It would be so toxic and for the fans
@@sdfishinn the thing is Lebron has many different play styles. Sometimes he’s a high post facilitator(kinda like jokic), other times he’s a drive and kick out facilitator, and then other games he just moves around the perimeter and tries to find cutters. Ben Simmons just doesn’t play championship basketball, only using a drive and kick out play style won’t ever win a championship. And on top of that Ben Simmons just isn’t as amazing of an inside scoring threat to have a whole system rely on a drive and kick out system.
Im not sure that any one can justify paying a top 30 salary for him. Any team that is growing into a contender would have to ask weather paying him is better than looking to pay for an out and out young star on the rise. When you look at the potentially available players in 2022 free agency, do you REALLY want to have 35M in Simmons when Ja, Zion, Luka and Trae will be looking to get paid?
The problem isn't that he can't shoot the problem is he refuses to shoot open shots
@No Morals that's a stupid thing to say
@No Morals too far…
@@hayden0509 look at his profile he goes around saying this exact same thing on every video

Draymond is “Draymond” because of the titles. If Ben can get a ring being a role-player.. sure. Until then he’s got some work to do. If I’m the Coach or GM.. he lives in the gym working on jump shots until the day next season starts. Don’t trade him.. keep the kid and refine his talent.
You shouldn't have to make a grown man be in the Gym
I say play him @ the 4 and make him a role player or 3rd option
Draymond plays with 2 and 3 of the best shooters in the game, so he doesnt need to, and honestly they dont want him to, shoot anything. Just play hard defense, pass the baseketball, and drive to the hoop if the lane is open. Ben can do any of that if not better, he is just on the "wrong" team with another ball-dominant 7ft.
@@tigera6 he almost won them Game 7 in 2016 tho. I think he had 31 pts 15 rebs and 8 assists, and shot like, 65%. You're right, they don't NEED him to score but he's very capable so they do rely on it when neither of the other primary options are available.
@@C-Note-to6vk I'm sure he's in the gym Wendelle G.. he needs to be in there (more) and really keying in on his weak spots.
It's honestly disrespectful to Draymond to compare Ben to him.
It wasn't a comparison..it was a suggestion to adopt his role
they are not comparing them they are saying maybe if he fixes himself he could one day maybe be like Draymond

Ben tanks the only games that matter and Skip be like "4 months ago he shot..."
Lmao Skip to a T
I just remember when they blabbered about Ben and showed blasphemy to lonzo. Look out now.
FACTS !!! 😂😂
I love how skip will go to war for Ben Simmons but trashes Giannis.. this man crazy😭😭good to see Luka and Giannis gonna keep skip’s career alive after LBJ retires
Doc is going to fix Ben by trading him that's the big fix we will see.

Y’all know Skip doesn’t make real points. Don’t waste your gray matter
@@nickchase3670 he does actually. Are u a Sixers fan?

It really is hard to be a Veterinarian if your afraid of animals. TRUE
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
I’m gonna be honest if it took him 6 seasons and he’s still not learned how to shoot which is a basic fundamental of basketball and one of the first things you learn trade him sad part to me is they could’ve had jimmy harden and Joel
Wow this is the best comment on here
Ben Simmons has been the biggest impediment to Philadelphia's championship hopes. He reportedly was so frustrated with playing off the ball with Jimmy Butler that Philadelphia decided not to re-sign Butler. The Sixers let an all-NBA level player walk because Simmons did not want to develop his game, and he still has not developed.
@@michaeljohnson7945 facts
A lineup of Harden, JJ reddick, Jimmy, Thybulle and Embiid would be unbeatable what could’ve been.
Ben Simmons will never have Draymond's intangibles or relentless hustle.
Why not
@@roddy2561 Because it doesn't appear to be within him and it's a hard thing to just rewire yourself to be.
Jimmy Butler: “I told you!! I told you!!!”
Yup, until he wants to be a better shooter by working on his shot,we can have our expectations low.
dude this fool tells us every year he is going away to work on his shot in the off season. Its obvious that he never does. He couldnt have possibly got worse over the years if he did.
Good luck with that bruh lmao, he got worse offensively 😂😂
Expectations low? You seem very understanding. Those performances in the 4th quarter when he’s making over 100 million and he’s completely healthy? Not sure how any fan accepts this.
Dude undisputed is the best! Skip and Shannon’s chemistry is untouched 💪🏼
Unc Shay: Petrifiedddddd Skiuup: Mhm, Impressive!
Man Ben Simmons need to just work on nothing but offense this whole offseason
Same thing said every year
Ben Simmons been in the league 5 years and can’t shoot. What else needs to be said?
"He's just too long." - Skip Bayless
“He’s long and STRONG! You gotta pound them on the INSIDE!” - Shannon Sharpe
Lol Phrasing
Hella pause lol
⏸⏸⏸
Would u rather take a jump shot or take a gun shot to the leg? Ben Simmons: 🤔
Give Brick Simmons to Shanghai, Chinese girls love them lightskin boyz
🤣🤣
If he had kobe mentality he wouldnt even need a jumper but he seem scared😂
Exactly he coulda went shaq mode with that frame and just get all them bigs in foul trouble
Nah he needs to be efficient and actually pass the ball so someone else’s mentality idk who
He could be doing what Giannis is doing, but they got different mentalities
Exactly. He's not even trying to score by driving to the basket. Who in their right mind thinks "I can score 5 points and still win a playoff game?" He's gotta try to score man, but he's mentally checked out.
He still would need a jumper.
Simmons should Train With Jordan. Develop Aggression, a 15 Footer, and Consistent Free-throws.
Why would Jordan want to train him? Lol
You know what crazy when Shannon said never mistakes habits for hard work that hit me different as a new up and coming youtuber I was thinking to myself I drop all of these videos but I feel like I’m not growing and now hearing that I think I finally get it I need to work harder that gym reference hit home going to the gym talking is not working hard thanks Shannon once again hitting it home 🏠
Dremont's career FG shooting is 43.6%, 3 pt 31.6%, and he is not scared to shoot. Can Ben get the confidence & skills to shoot at that level?
I said when he first came in the league he reminded me of a poor man Lamar Odom. Not Magic or Lebron, Lamar Odom.
Lamar Odom was a really good player. A champion. Not too bad.
he’s twice the defensive player lazy lamar was lol
Unc Shay: PETRIFIEDDDD Skiuup: Mhm, Impressive!
Boy o boy. We all think we know what's best. We just have to hope he is healthy mentally and physically going into next season, and let's see what happens, because he will be on someone's team at the start of next season.
Well put..
His rookie season was his prime , he declines every year
Ben Simmons PEAKED AS A ROOKIE 😂😭
@No Morals sheesh 😂😮
🤣🤣🤣
These playoffs are wild . Teams losing and they trying to trade everybody lmao
Its actually hilarious that they even had these expectations to begin with!!
Shannon dropping old baseball references…. That man knows about everything he truly is a great sports commentator 🔥🔥🔥
We sit back and joke about Giannis sometimes shooting too much. At least we can say that he has at least put in the effort to try and better his jump shot so he can take them. Ben Simmons wont even try to attempt a jump shot anymore.
yeh exactly mate You can see Giannis puts in the work
Skip: he’s so long and strong 😳 PAUSE!
“You’ve gotta take advantage of that length! Pound them on the INSIDE!” - Shannon Sharpe
@@nostalgiacorner1999 • Whoaaaa, lmao.
The “mmm” from skip makes me laugh too much
Same thing happened to Nick Anderson in Orlando in the 90’s - he missed clutch free throws when he was 75-80%, and he dropped to 40% in the following years and even had it in his contract to not make him shoot technical free throws. He was shook for the rest of his career! I hope it don’t happen to Ben…
Ben Simmons is now, officially, the most underrated player in the NBA.
His rating has dropped based on solid justifications, so you are incorrect. He is not better than what people are saying he is today, which would be the definition of underrated.
@@killerra Yeah man, Paul George isn't a different player this year from last year, everybody saw him put the Clippers on his back when Kawhi went down, Suddenly the "Wayoff P" and the "Pandemic P" critics got REAL quiet. Y'all just REALLY overreact to the last thing you saw and ride out with whatever negative narrative that's in the air at the time. Soon as Ben is out of Philly. His critics will start saying "Yeah he's playing well now but the playoffs!" Then when he plays well in the playoffs "He's not good enough to lead a team to the championship" It's whatever though. Haters gon hate.
@Bronsexual Police Department Yah.
@Spokesman of MJ LOL, You can literally highlight any player and then low light the next one. It's not about him. It's how you lames repeat any media narrative out there. The kind of sht people were saying about Giannis the year before last when Miami bounced them from the playoffs "he can't win in the playoffs" It's all nonsense. I'm not going to argue. I'm just on record. That SAME reason he was the #1 pick, Rookie of the year, second-team all defense, twice, 1st team all defense last year, and a 3-time all-star, is the same reason he's going to play well next year. He's good at basketball and y'all are making fools of yourselves. He's literally improved at all aspects of the game except shooting but that's all y'all know. I'm sure Philly will finish in first place again next year, without him, like they did this year with him, right? ... so we'll see.

Its been the same thing for the last 3 years man. When will this man understand that he needs a jumpshot to survive in this league?

I wonder why 🤔 nobody's talking about what I said couple year's ago if Philly would've did what ever they had to do to keep Jimmy Butler they wouldve won the NBA Championship this year this was there year and they blew it
“Words spoken, deeds done” That’s a gem
Simmions is a great value Lonzo ball at lest zo can shoot
He doesn't need a jump shot. He needs freethrows. Fix the free throws and he'll be good to go

Skip defending Ben with those stats?? But goes on and on about Luka being somehow a overrated player.
Its almost awkward when they agree at some points
When Unc Shay brings up his Grandfather & Grandmother, I already know this is about to be some advice I need to write down, apply it in my life, and share with the next person. 🙌🏽 - Signed 06/22/2021
He isn’t washed up or nothin, you gotta remember. HE IS 24 years old!! You get him tough mentally. You get his confidence up. You get chips
@Chris Smith he’s gonna have to put in the work. That’s for sure
Skip looks like he's nodding off to sleep when Shannon talks sometimes
Drip Bayless getting old😢
Shannon's suits are the best in the business
Yo I swear this show just them in the shop. 🔥🔥🔥
Skip wouldn't dare use this logic with Luka
Philly needs to do whatever they can to help Ben overcomes his yips so he can live up to these Lebron and Magic comparisons......... in order to maximize the return value when trading him 😂😂😂😂
Exactly
I'm with Skip on this one. Give the guy a chance and get him some help.
They had Jimmy butler and Joel embed was jealous because he wants to be a point guard and has never played a full season. Ben Simmons contract should of went to Jimmy butler
He has had multiple chances to show he at least will attempt jumpshots. If I was the GM I’d trade him right now but for all the blind witnesses, if this same pattern continues next year I wonder what the excuse will be
Nobody gonna eat that $30 million anyway; Sixer for life...
He has been given a chance
He been in the league for 4 or 5 years now, thats 4 or 5 pre seasons to get better.... or a "chance" in ur words.
I can’t wait for this show some days lol
I actually appreciate that Skip isn't piling on Ben - we've seen other rising phoenix stories, let's not totally write off someone before they're even 25.
Skip contredicts himself so much, just bc he hates lebron
Skip doesn't want the 6ers to trade Simmons so they cant beat the Nets next year 😂
Julius Randle sitting at home like...At least I tried 😂
Bro!!! None of this would be a problem if they would just MAKE HIM A POWER FORWARD!!!!!! Joel embiid, Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris, Danny Green, Maxey...starting 5 right there...let's go
