He's a freaking joke 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
BEN SIMMONS NEED TO LEAVE DA NBA. HE DON'T WANT TO PLAY, HE'S ACTING LIKE A GIRL. REAL TALK 💯 CRY BBY!!
Still using Jenny for the outro?
Skip need to be put on unpaid leave for saying he would take Ben over Tatum, Mitchell, J.Brown, and Ingram 😂😂😂 he tripping tripping today I see
He was joking
Escorted from the studio
Then he said he'd take him over Tatum and Brown but then went to say against the Celtics I thought you just said Ben Simmons was better than those 2 then why are the Celtics are so good
At this point I would take pat beverly before Ben
Everyone makes bad calls here and there....
"Maybe he herniated his disc trying to pickup his check" 😂😂😂
💀
Or picking up all them bricks he scared to shoot.
Bruh 😂😂
😂😅🤣
😂😂😂
Skip saying he'd take Ben Simmons over Brandon Ingram, Jason Tatum, and Donovan Mitchell is the craziest thing I've ever heard on this show. Full stop.
He's just taking the opposing side at this point for show ratings. I don't think he believes what he's saying on some of the takes.
He's taking trolling to heights not yet seen 😂🤣
@@HermannTheGreat it’s a debate show. Shannon could say the sky is blue and Skip would disagree
@@HermannTheGreat he doesn’t have to say crazy stuff like that to make the show good. They can debate but he’s just ridiculous
You realize the show ceases to be if they don't take opposing viewpoints right? While both these guys obviously have sincere opinions, those are generally saved for specific circumstances. Most of the time they construct narratives to perpetuate the show. Seriously, guys LITERALLY draw straws for which takes they get (have to in Skips case this morning lmao) to cover. Obviously no one takes Simmons over those guys based off of behavior alone. His passing/defense may be elite but you can't take advantage of those gifts if he ain't passionate.
"Ben Simmons say YALL bout to get swept" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
No bap Kuz not goin for it 😭
He don't want that on his record....
🤣🤣🤣
lmao
Shannon: "When Ben wakes up and if it isn't 75° and sunny and the he's feeling 1000% he's going to say nah I'm good"
Ben simmons after game 3 : I'm back 💪 Ben simmons before game 4 : my back 😳
Copy....
Lol that's what Peter Parker said on Spiderman
😂😂
Like Shaq said “A punk move”
Brooklyn fans “we won the trade”💀💀😭😭😭😭
With Embiid carrying Harden and Simmons refusing to play I say both teams lost this trade
@@theolddarksoul1129 ya but sixers low key won cause They got rid of Simmons
Seth, Drummond, Baby Ben and 2 first round picks are still better than Harden and unplayable Milsap. Stay in school, kid
@@BaithNa Simmons is broken as a person lmfao. Seth and Drum are role players and Drum is probably gone after this season. And picks really don’t mean anything when you’re a contender.
@@requix11 The truth hurts
"He's sitting here like he's in a spring fashion show" 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....I screamed
All that cash and he still looks corny af lmaoo
😂😂😂😂
Hilarious!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro get a life
I can’t even watch this one after skip with a straight face said he’s taking Simmons over Ingram, Brown, Tatum, and Mitchell 💀☠️
He lost all credibility there
Was a joke bro
Mabey defensively, but overall no way. I agree skip is a joke
That's because he refuses to admit that the "greatest player in the world" is getting outplayed on both sides of the floor by Jason tatum
Expecting anything less from skip, should be deemed uncivilized.
Might be the first time Skip ever talked about Ben Simmons without mentioning the 42 point game vs the Jazz.
He didnt!? Its a miracle!!!
It’s really sad we all know his responses lol especially with baker mayfield
This comment deserves more likes
😂😂😂😂
Ben Simmons is literally just one of those guys that loves the girls, money, fame that comes with being in the NBA he doesn’t really care about perfecting his craft AT ALL, no competitive 🔥 in his body whatsoever.
Most guys in the league are like that tho, only difference is Ben is one of the few ever who has all-time potential with that type of temperament, so it's especially disappointing.
As much as I dislike Lebron for how he is sometimes and how much the media tries to shove him down everyone’s throat, that’s what makes him the greatest in the league right now he’s focused on what’s brining in the money, priorities are straight. They acting like they can’t retire in like 10 years of NBA be around 30 and a multi millionaire never have to work a day in your life if you smart with your money.
@@hopoff9968 🧢
This is exactly it! Hella on point!
Thats most people at most jobs just like you
25 claps 10 high fives 5 pats on the back Ben Simmons is out for the 22-23 season with soar arm from all that clapping in the playoffs
No wonder why he left Philly, he wouldn’t have lasted long there with this mentality Philly fans are ruthless
He was there for 4 years tho. And New York isn't any better than Philly in that regard. Pay attention, kid.
@@BaithNa Knicks and nets are different.
@@stevelumumbashabazzz5087 facts
@@stevelumumbashabazzz5087 its still New York though. NY being the biggest media market in the whole US means that all of Ben Simmons antics and struggles gonna be a whole lot more publicized and known then when it was when he was in Philly. Just look at how much more attention he’s getting now compared to last year
What city should he go to that would accept this nonsense?
Skip saying he taking Ben Simmons over EITHER of those guys.. especially Tatum, let me know to never take anything he says seriously.
Thank you. People need to realize skip is partially playing a character as a hater. That’s his role
Skip said he’s taking Ben Simmons over Jayson Tatum? Over the man who’s owning “the best player on the planet?”😂😂😂🤡
Tatum has done well. But don't think he hasn't had help on defense. If you look almost every shot KD takes there are 2 people on him. Yes, Tatum has been great. But credit goes to the helping defenders as well. KD has nowhere to turn. Tatum is one way. The help defense is the other. He gets pinched between them.
@@larrylindgren9484 shut up he cooking kd
Shannon: “Yup, and that’s whatcha got”
@@larrylindgren9484 They did the same when Lebron had Kyle Korver and a fully loaded JR smith. Stop crying
Giannis is the best on the planet
Ben’s gonna be one of the main reasons why an NBA Lockout could happen when it’s time to renew the CBA.
Lol why would there be a lock out if everyone is making more money than ever? The governors aren't stupid enough to lose millions over one guy sitting out, especially when they force players to sit out all the time. Stay in school, kid.
#2 Rich Paul
Yup well said
Yup there gonna make it where they don't get paid at all if they don't play cuz they can't trust the players to be honest about their injuries.
If we're lucky, and then when the salaries decrease, viewership continues to decrease, and reality hopefully sets in, maybe we could reset to the quality of the 70-90s.. lol nah, we're never getting that back again. These guys are primadonnas.
Skip-“maybe Ben Simmons pulled a hernia; picking up his check” lol!
How is the mans back hurting but he can stand all game n cheerlead his team to a loss?🤔🤦🏽♂️ Clearly he is finessing the system smh
Standing and playing are completely different
@MyNameIsTwan he's getting paid whether he plays or not. Its his contract. Whats bad is that during the next collective bargaining agreement the owners will use examples like this, kyrie, and harden to better protect their money from players who "like to control their destiny" in toxic ways.
@@Frostie323 bruh shut up
He hurt his back playing COD all day
@MyNameIsTwan as they should lol. You're right, thats another thing the owners will bring up! 😂 They're gonna try to take any and all player leverage
Lmao boy that next CBA gone cause one of the biggest lockouts ever 💀
Thank Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving. Expect a lot of flagrants 2’s heading their way in the seasons to come
This dude Simmons a clown fr fr🤦🏾♂️
His back hurtin
@@alieniyzed6912 😂
@@alieniyzed6912 sure 💀🥺
@@alieniyzed6912 what? Hoe can his back be hurting when he don't have any spine. No backbone. 🤣🤣
This is the guy the media hyped us about being the next lebron 😂 one of the most overrated overhyped players in the history.
They call any forward that can dunk and pass the next Lebron. That's just how draft comparisons work, kid. You'll figure it out one day.
@@BaithNa said the same thing with Zion
@@zackirving6704 Looking at Zion's body, doubtful he will ever play another game due to whoever is guiding him.
B-but don't worry, he will learn to shoot and become the next LeBron!
Lebron or Ben?
Ben Simmons is a legit coward, he just don't wanna get embarrassed so bad that he still can't ask and argue for his millions that's still in contention at the moment
I said the exact same thing. He can sit back and say his team got swept, he's injured so it's not his fault. And keep his trade value high and his "right" to the money he's owed
🎯🎯🎯!
Skip is a clown foreal. He said he would choose Ben Simmons over Tatum, Jaylen, and Spida???
Tatum going blue god super saiyan tonight
“if it’s not 75(degrees)and sunny, oh na bruh i’m good” unc be killin me🤣🤣
Can we just ship Simmons to the Kings a.k.a. “The Limbo of the NBA where all player development stifles and careers go to die” that way we don’t have to talk about him in the postseason.
Literally every week skip see’s something that he hadn’t quite seen anything like 😂😂😭
This is skips worst take I’ve ever seen Ben Simmons is worse then all those players
Ben Simmons is not even better than Tyus Jones
Double KD and you take away his greatest strength. You couldn't double him in Golden State because of the shooting he had around him so he got to play iso all game. It's simple basketball.
Yet they call him the best
I disagree..he’s just playing scared. He has shot over physical defense and double teams before, but dude is literally just forcing passes instead of shooting the ball. Especially in game 3 where he should have took more than 11 shots
@@MannyParadisee He only took 11 shots because he's trying to protect his field goal percentage. Tonight's game gonna be good tho. I got the Nets winning.
@@MannyParadisee nah he's being exposed, its 3 games the great ones always finds a way
they are doing what kerr did to lebron but kd is no lebron and eventually, if you stifle him enough, he can get his shots and has no clue how to facilitate someone else. they are working kevin so he gets tired and gets sloppy. he thought he was the reason for the warriors success but is quickly realizing that the warriors was a bugatti on nitros and he was just the larger bottle of nitros. now he is on a toyota celica
🚨Breaking news🚨 Ben Simmons set to return in time for game 8.
People will say “Ben Simmons can’t shoot, he can’t make free throws, he’s not mentally tough.” And Skip will defend him to the death, and then turn around and launch those exact criticisms on Giannis. He’s a joke
I’ve never understood the Ben Simmons hype. I remember watching shows just a couple years ago where people were already calling him a top 10 player. How? Maybe he can win as the 3rd or 4th option on a team but definitely not 1 or 2.
The dude has always coasted off of athleticism. In HS he dominated because of height and quickness. In college he had more of the same and scouts in the NBA said “if he can just learn to shoot he’ll be the next Lebron.” Well the problem is you can’t wait til the NBA to learn to shoot. He’s coasted off of athleticism and never put in a lick of work.
Ben Simmons is a joke. You're getting everybody hype about you coming back by participating in these simulations, then you say it's going to be easy for you to play with Kyrie and KD, even though you haven't been on the court in an important game since last year when you absolutely melted down in the Atlanta series. Now since Brooklyn is down 0-3 and on the verge of being swept, your back hurts? Really!? This dude cares more about the money and fame of being a NBA player, then the game itself 😐
Since the 2010s players started softening up
If Giannis ever did this skip would be all over him. But for some reason he goes out of his way to protect Ben.
Imagine if Steph did this or bron
Skip chooses who he defends and goes after and more often times than not he picks the wrong side.
He is literally calling him Kevin cantdurant
@@erikjohnson1435 I haven't seen Skip jump off a player's bandwagon this fast since Kawhi "#2" left The Spurs.
Or Lebron
I hate to say this but for 1 season I would take Westbrick over Ben because @ least Westbrick will show up & give me 100% hurt or not.
Shannon’s right. Ben Simmons was scouted as being the next coming of LeBron, even with his accomplishments he’s fell short tremendously compared to where his ceiling was projected to be.
I mean if your ceiling is projected to be LeBron anything besides being the absolute elite is going to fall short.
Lol Skip still manages to torch Lebron because of his free throw shooting in a Ben Simmons segment but defends Ben Simmons despite being a worse free throw shooter. What a troll.
Saying he’d pick Ben Simmons from that group completely discredits everything
As a Warrior fan, I'm eating good. All of our opps are down bad. CP0 first round exit to a 9th seed, Durcant and Cryrie swept in the first round, and LeGM, Westbrick, and ADisney missing the playoffs.
Warriors vs Celtics NBA Finals 😊😊
For real the path is opening right up. Like the grizzles Mavs and suns could all lose in the first round and if that happens I'd say we choked if we don't make it to at least the finals.
@@Joeyz94z Celtics vs Bucks is gonna be a WAR through
@Sanjoy Kundu sure thing buddy 🤣🤣
That last second layup inGame 1 broke the nets. They having recovered yet.
Facts, I feel like if they got a stop right there it could’ve been a totally different series
He’s a 14, 7, and 7 all star who has struggled to score more and more as teams have gotten tape on him! His highest ppg average was his rookie year and it has declined every year since! It’s obvious he doesn’t work on his game and he has shown zero improvement, he’s the same player every year when everyone else is getting better!
Street clothes Ben 😂
Streen Clothes Simmons*
Ben really fooled you. He Peaked at 22 LOL
Ben Simmons is a bum. How they stretch this topic in a 20 min segment is impressive.
Love the new nickname: Kevin Du-can't😂
That been his nickname since the 2016 WCFs.
When I saw a KZhead post and it was not Uncle Shannon and Skip. I was about to send Twitter messages because I said they have to be here today because I was watching the games saying I cannot wait for Monday! You two are hilarious and spot on with that analogy. Thank you again, for you have made my day of comedy. 👏🏽👏🏽
Never doubted this guy since he got drafted. Ihad him as BUST FROM THE BEGINNING
Ben Simmons is not a bust lol
@@unlimitedpower4101 case could be made
3 all stars and defends teams no ways bust... he just doesn't have a 3 if he did he'd be elite especially as a PG
He's obero
Overrated
If KD needs Kyrie & Ben just to get out the first round, how could KD have ‘carried’ GSW against Bron when he beat that same Celtic team in 18’ ?
The NBA is going to come out with a Ben Simmons rule. Dude should get fined out of his paycheck.
"GET WHAT? YOU 6'10" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 YO SHANNON FUNNY ASF
Anybody who still believes in Ben is delusional. I been saying he’s a bum since his 2nd year. It was glaringly obvious he has no competitive fire when he couldn’t shoot in year 1 and had zero improvement in year 2. Like bro, at least get better at free throws. This dude is the most undeserving 3x all star in NBA history. He’s made it averaging Lonzo Ball numbers every year.
i don’t root for the nets but when Dragic came over, he literally took all of Cam Thomas minutes, he OBVIOUSLY wasn’t going to change around the series but I think he would have done better imo
Nash is a HORRIBLE coach. If he had any honor he would step down.
I’ll take Dragic over CT any day.
I'd trust Dragic more than CT in the post season tbh.
Dragic reminds him of himself that's why lol
Yea and I don’t root for the lakers either
He hurt his back trying to picking up his paycheck 🤣🤣🤣🤣
These two + Stephen A putting up Michael Jordan numbers today and tomorrow 😂
Lmao i want someone else to fail so miserably this post season just so they can make fun of them, its hilarious 😂😂😂😂
You guys keep talking trash about Ben Simmons, but when he shows up in game 8 and locks down Tatum ya'll won't be laughing anymore.
I watched this after the game ah man this age well today
I feel like this is a bit of a scapegoat to take the attention away from what KD and Kyrie are not doing. I had no expectations of Ben Simmons playing in this series so this isn’t a big story for me and even if he did he’s not the answer to the nets problems. He’s been on the team for months and they haven’t played together I don’t think implementing him in a close out game is good idea.
Agree…disappointed that shanon letting skip jump off the kd bandwagon after banging lebron over the head with him for years
It doesn’t matter what you say Ben takes up a lot of money and his trade value in that trade sacrificed a lot of the nets power and potential depth for him.
@@raskult the nets traded James harden do you think they’re in a much better situation with him on the roster the way he’s playing right now. The sixers are the ones that gave away Seth and draft picks to get harden. I’m not saying Ben Simmons isn’t a problem. We can’t act like inserting him in the lineup for a close out game will be the difference.
I can’t wait to see Ben on the bench tonight 🤣🤣🤣
lol everyone eager to see what outfit he got this time
If he is smart he will not show up or if he do, It will be a jogging suit with no jewelry on at the end of the bench.🤦🏾♂️
@@petepistol6403 he won’t do that. He’s got too much pride to listen to anyone
Nice segment
Most exciting to series to watch now... Suns-Pelicans (CP3 is melting down!) Grizzlies-TWolves (It's an NCAA game) Mavericks-Jazz
Don't forget Net-Celetics (KD and Kyrie and Ben non-sense) lol. You gotta love the NBA 🤣🤣🤦🏿♂️
"What are Ben Simmons initials? B.S." That was a good one from Skip
Ben said “YALL bout to get swept” Unc a trip 😂😂
No way skip said he’d take simmons over tatum. Hes lost his mind
Skip usually keeps it 💯 but he delusional for saying Ben over JT......
Skip did not just say he would have simmons over Tatum... he should be fired immediately
Michael Jordan would've played with a cast on his arm if they would've let him. This era is just not cut from that cloth, man
This guy went to the Nets to sit on the bench & look cute 😂😂😂😂😂😂
SKIP...The guy who falsely said Jimmy Butler declared he wouldn't play with Oladipo 🙄
LMAO "YALL bout to get swept"
Ben Simmons putting more effort in his fits than his rehab
He can definitely play through it, he just knows if he does he won’t get his lawsuit.
I honestly didn’t think Ben Simmons would pan out that well in the NBA, he was good in college (no denial there), but he lost so much drive ever since he went pro Like he just don’t care anymore Kinda tragic Lemme know how this affects Lebron’s Legacy tho in the replies if you want Drip Bayless will find a way
that's what happens when you pay him over 100 million dollars and players like him take the game forgranted because as long as he gets his money, he doesn't care
Ben Simmons is really good. He impacts the game so much most people don’t realize
@@mohi3846 Ben what’s good! You gone be ready next year…..!!!???
@@JBD915 That is true because I will credit that person for their effort. Ben simmons just doesn't have the effort to want to play
Didn't LeBron refer to him as young King?.... Ironic
imagine calling in to work because your back hurts, and the company not only gives you the time, but pays you 20million. what a gig! 😂 should be illegal lol
I have had six back surgeries and I still have go to work..!!!
Ben is the softest player I’ve ever seen in my life, he needs to retire for a year and work on his game!!!
Between Baker Mayfield and Ben Simmoms skip then lost his dam mind
"LEGONE" lmaooo skip is priceless
Poor Ben, injured his back carrying so many heavy bricks in the past four years. His passion is unmatched, I wish he could help me build my new house. I really need those bricks.
Skip: "Can Kevin manage to carry GSW passed Lebron?!?" Whaaat😂😂 most stacked team ever against one player
I can't believe the Celtics are 3-0 against the Nets!
Make that a perfect 4-0
Kevin Du-Cant Skip dissing Durant is crazy!🤣🤣🤣 7:20
"maybe he herniated his disc tryna pick up his check" 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
1:21 Skip doesn’t believe himself lmfao he definitely doesn’t
Tatum owns Simmons 😂 literally Tatum is his dad.
Kevin Ducant 🤣🤣🤣😂😂 im dead 💀🤣
WoJ Bomb From Ben’s Place in LA: Ben Simmons says his back feels better and he expects to be ready to play in round 2! 😂
KD doesnt have not one guy he trust on that team with the ball.
Skip got a lot of egg on his face due to Brooklyn
Great segment
“Then He Give You 39…. BIG ONESS” 😂😂😂😂 Unc My Dude
Part of the problem for the Nets is that they are being out coached
I think they just got Steve Nash just to have a big name hall of famer as a coach. To pull in more media and marketing money. Kd and kyrie both said they don’t need a coach so I highly doubt they listen to him.
This show is pure satire 😂😂 Skip said he gone take Been Simmons over WHO?!?
“YALL bout to get swept” 😂😂😂😂
Lmao legone, kdone, kevin ducant, these arent even that funny but when they speak so seriously together and bring out these nicknames it's hilarious
BEN SIMMONS got that lebron james injury... i cant help my TEAM cause: i dont feel like it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was his back hurting when he was passing up open layups ? When did he get injured I’m confused
Sensitive Simmons got injured carrying Philly on his back when he scored 42 points against Utah.🏀
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY THE FULL LENGTH EPISODES DON’T RELEASE ANYMORE?
