Ben's take on ROY

[DasJazz]

But Ben is not actually a rookie doe.

How does national team success stack up (for you) against NBA championship? I know more international people view it as bigger. For the most part, we don’t GAF about it. I was glad when the US lost in the early 2000s. It started to represent everything I hated about the NBA and I hated the unbeatable hype.

I suppose, though, I like the Jazz because I grew up with them as the hometown team, which I guess the NT functions as a lot of peoples’ “home town team.”

Yeah its much bigger, basketball is kinda like a subculture here, so for true believers an Olympic medal is a big thing.

I'm a little disappointed in Simmons. He just sounds petty and weak.

Really glad our guy doesn't seem to care about ROY. Mitchell's mentality and maturity is what really sets him apart from other rookies (and veterans).

Simmons vs Mitchell is a close call, but Gobert should be running away with that award.

I guarantee gobert wins defensive player of the year.

Quin is gonna get snubbed for COY.
Gobert is gonna get snubbed for DPOY.
And DM will get snubbed for ROY.

I’ve already made my peace with it.

There is no way gobert doesn’t win.

I think quin and Donovan both come in 2nd

My take on Ben Simmons comments is that it is part PR but really an indication of how he feels.
He would think that DM is a talented overhyped volume shooter/scorer who doesn't contribute to winning like he does. He constantly mentions his diversified impact on games - and I think he feels disrespected by the media in general. The thing that I bet would annoy him is that everyone always stresses how he is the 2nd best player on his team, and almost no one in the media says the same thing about DM.

I also think people don't realize that he projects to be better than Embiid.

Sounds like a douche.

nearly spat out my morning coffee thats gold

Ya it’s awesome. Had to show that one to my wife. She loves jingles.
Last year she felt that jingles was a better player than asswad. I thought she was crazy. Now I’m thinking maybe she was on to something.
