Ben's take on ROY

[Ron Mexico]

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.

Embiid is the best player on that team by a significant amount and still projects higher. The only reason to be concerned about Embiids future is injuries and that is the only way Simmons becomes a better player is if his career is derailed by injuries even more than it has.

How to beat Ben Simmons. Collapse the paint, force him to shoot. Foul him on any shot he takes inside of 10 feet. He sucks so bad at shooting. And he's been in the nba for 2 years already, he ain't learning how to shoot at this point.

Washington already showed that hack-a-Ben works. I think it’ll be heavily used in the playoffs. If so, it would be an embarrassing way to finish out what has been a great 2nd season.

Aside from his obvious douchebag personality.

Will Bogut be alive in 2020?

even if he isn't .. weekend at Bernies dude .. we'll wheel him out on a stretcher for a few weeks

We could freeze him now like Walt Disney and thaw him out for the games...

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.

You realise now that your wife is smarter than you?

As much I really want Mitchell to win, I think it's already been decided that Simmons would win at this point. So the only way to change this, is for Mitchell to outperform Simmons in the Playoffs by taking his Jazz team much further.

 

[Hitman]

no, he went to his first 3-4 years of what we call high school here (middle school there?) and i think moved over to the US to attend the last 2 years of high school i think.

There's some very specific academic boxes that need to be ticked off for an International player to get into college these days. You can avoid these requirements by going to an American HS, which is easier to organise if your dad is American-born.

Yes, dear.

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.

Not sure anybody in the league projects to be better than Embiid (health permitting).

 

[NUMBERICA]

Gonna be interesting what Mitchell has to say about this because you know someone's gonna ask.

I mean, he's gonna knock it out of the park, whatever it is.

He's an incredible talent but also a huge douche.

Can't wait until Donovan craps all over Philly in the 2020 NBA Finals.
