I’ve never been a sympathizer about D. Rose injuries. It’s a part of sports. I’m talking about actual on court ability. Even when both were at peak health. Simmons was always fools gold
I literally just bought up Len Bias earlier in the day who never played a minute.
. Not talking about “what if’s”. Simply going off aesthetics and what I’ve seen.Rose was always loved for his game. What did people ever enjoy about Simmons? Even at peak health?
We’ve all seen Ben Simmons play, dude was never special.
with or without injuries.D Rose was special

People knew he had flaws but. When Simmons was in Philly he wasn’t viewed as “A PHONY” until he passed up the layup against the Hawks, and then everything began.

You were just in the NFL thread defending Joe Burrow. You have bigger issues
You dudes upset because some of us aren’t Ben Simmons fans or detractors of 90s basketball. Taking it personal while everyone else is just having a dialogue
Hopefully Trump uses the funds from his signed Joe Burrow jersey to pay his debts

I forgot about this dude.
The last contribution I remember from him when he was doing victory laps over Roe v. Wade

Otto Porter looks like a dad in the 70s that just wants his son to do what the coach says

It's a shame Otto Porter Jr. always got hurt. Really good role player.

His point seems to be because Ben is less liked he gets jokes while a well-liked athlete gets sympathy.I’ve never been a sympathizer about D. Rose injuries. It’s a part of sports. I’m talking about actual on court ability. Even when both were at peak health. Simmons was always fools gold

D Rose was special
Your counter-argument is listing reasons people like other athletes (Rose) more than Ben
Which doesn't refute anything he is saying. In fact, it is proving evidence for his argument.

That is is why I stick to arguing with higher ranking members of ALA.
No fun in playing this game on rookie, Jordan diehards are too easy.

there was something in that Bay Area water
Fluke season.
Otto not injured, Wiggins played his best season ever, so did Poole. Followed by multiple injuries to other teams stars. Just nasty.

Ironic to see you talking about somebody paying debts, though.

I feel like a lot of people don't even believe Ben about his back. Every few months he comes back to hoopla and is collecting checks from the bench 2 games later. To the average person it would seem suspicious and unfair, especially considering his history of quitting when healthy.

I be half joking, but he literally is elite defensively the best example of can guard 1-5 and protect the rim. He is a doofus though. Still young though, but Klutch failed him

Ben Simmons never approached the game seriously, and he's been a lame since college.
It should be no surprise he's just there to collect checks

I'm not a doctor, nor am I Ben Simmons. Realistically speaking it is not in Ben Simmons best interest to not play basketball. Ben has one more year left on his contract and he is 28 years old.
Unless he makes progress to being some type of contributing NBA player this will most likely be his last contract. So for the "He just wants to collect checks" crowd why would he cut his time for collecting checks short in what should be his prime?
No we didn't. He failed himself.
