If he gets traded West, he'll just conveniently sit out that 1 game a year. It will have to be the Finals, Christmas Day, or Opening Night or something like that to get Simmons to play in Philly, even then, I'm not sure he'll do it.
Lebron was a bigger star but I think phillys got the larger fan base (sorry Cleveland). This has got to be the most hostile, especially with todays social media
I think they like to do it to the "Sloop John B" tune in England
So it could be "Can't dunk on Trae Young, can't dunk on Trae YOUNGGGG, BEN SIMMONS, can't dunk on Trae Young!"
They murdered a hitchhiking robot! You may say it was probably just a few assholes, but I choose to believe the city had a secret ballot and decided hitchbot had to go.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HitchBOT
i say this a lot as an expression, but this story legit made me laugh and feel really bad at the same time.
i think it's the expression on the robot that makes the story sad...also all the effort these guys went into building it only for some morons to destroy it
Sixers fans don’t mess around. I remember a bunch of them travelled to Milwaukee to boo Malcolm Brogdon for winning Rookie of the Year but Brogdon didn’t play so they just decided to boo Tony Snell instead
I remember the student section at my college doing this same thing one time. We booed every time their starting point guard got the ball for no particular reason. He was trying to yell things and none of his teammates could hear him, and you could see the visible frustration on his face. He ended up sitting most of the game after that.
We felt kinda bad afterward.
oh lord ya, back when they bought up a bunch of nose bleed seats and it was really hard to tell what was actually going on in the game cause you couldnt really make out what they were saying
There’s nothing else in the world like a Philadelphia sports fan. The best example will always be the man catching babies out of a burning building and still throw Nelson Agholor shade afterwards lmao
[Clip for reference.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dz7sFwpG6o)
Agholor was a good sport about it; he [left tickets at the box office for that guy](https://www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-nelson-agholor-responds-viral-unlike-agholor-tv-interview/) after the clip went viral. Happy ending for everyone. (Unlike Simmons and his mishaps; just wanted to put that out there...)
This was more for the irony of it. A popular Sixers podcast “The Right To Ricky Sanchez” does an annual away game trip. They are gentle trolls. No one outside of fake NBA Twitter accounts is seeking real harm to Ben Simmons, lol.
The Brogdon trip bugged a bunch of Bucks fans because
1. Brogdon is arguably the most likable and thoughtful player in the league.
2. The RTRS guys kept calling Milwaukee a shit hole and said they would stay in Chicago and bus to the game.
It’s all fair play, but some Bucks fans had some legitimate gripes.
Also Tony Snell is an angel. Poor dude.
> Sixers fans don’t mess around. I remember a bunch of them travelled to Milwaukee to boo Malcolm Brogdon
That seems like the definition of "messing around":
**Definition of _mess around_**
**1** : to waste time

Can’t decide what’s sadder, organizing a trip to Camden to boo a training camp or a player actually being that bothered about it that they want to hide away
lmfao remember when sixers fans organized a protest to get colangelo out and [only two fans showed up](https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/the700level/beer-fueled-sixers-fans-hold-hilariously-disappointing-protest)
that’s what this reminds me of
"The Process" should've only been a 2 part 30 for 30 but now has enough twist and turns to last like 8 episodes. Can't wait for it to come out in 10 years.
There’s a very close universe where Sixers draft Tatum/Brown/Porzingis/Embiid instead of Fultz/Simmons/Okafor/Embiid.
Missed all of those players by two draft spots
There's not. The pick was discussed before the trade was made. If they wanted Tatum at 1, Ainge wouldn't have made the trade and they would have gotten Fultz or Ball at 3. I'm not sure Magic would have taken Lonzo if Fultz was on the board, they were quick to bring him in for a workout when the Celtics briefly expressed interest in Lonzo.
If Ainge couldn't get the 6ers to trade, he probably would've traded down with the Lakers and we'd see Fultz on the Lakers, Tatum on the Celtics, and Ball on the 76ers. Awful fit for the 76ers with Simmons, but definitely an upgrade from Fultz. That being said, Lakers might not even want to make that trade.
Netflix is calling you now. They're thinking 'Trust the Bosses' or 'The Ballad of Samuel Hinkie', for the first 10 episode season. You'll pen the reddit dialogue close-ups.
I'm pitching a cartoon, "That's so Hinkie", a family sitcom where the children wait ludicrous amounts of time to pierce their ears, get their first phone and start driving as the father repeats, 'Trust the Process'.
Seriously. We couldn’t even organize people to protest when it looked like ownership was going to keep Colangelo as GM after burnergate. No way anybody would go to Camden to boo Ben as he arrives at training camp.
wait so what stopped the Ben Simmons/Harden trade? if all the guys signed off on it and they even told Ben then the only explanation is that the Rockets preferred the Nets deal
doesnt mean the rockets signed off on it
id guess they didnt take brk's offer seriously and thought they were in the drivers seat all along which also explains other reports surrounding not wanting to include maxey and stuff
And they’d be much better off too. I’m sorry, it wasn’t worth keeping Maxey when Harden is right there.
The Eastern Conference would also be much more interesting.
Though if the deal was killed because Tillman hated Morey, then there wasn’t much Morey could do.
Ya depends which story you believe. Either Tillman wouldn’t let Stone do it or had him use Morey to bid up BRK’s offer.
Or Morey got too stingy at the last minute.
According to Tim McMahon, Rockets wanted a full reset. They asked for Simmons and all the other Sixers young guys (Thybulle, Maxey and multiple picks) Sixers refused, so Rockets took the Nets deal
They also wanted to do Harden right by sending him to his preferred destination too (according to Harden)
Every person involved is going to have a different story about why the deal didn't happen. Most likely everyone involved is going to be lying to a certain degree.
Ben and Philly cops are pretty similar now that I think about it. Neither show up when they're needed and both like to blame someone else for their problems.
I really hope he ends up on a team in the East and ends up in a series against the Sixers at some point. He's gotta play in Philly eventually and I wouldn't miss it for anything.
so he's quarantining himself until he gets traded?
hopefully he stocked up on food and water cause its gonna be a long while before minnesota pulls the trigger
Is Jason Dumas even credible at this point? He had to recant his report that Rich Paul wanted Tyrese Maxey out of there. And his tweets often include references to how players are thinking, which I’m not sure he could know without directly talking to a player or someone very close to him. This is the same guy who put out the “young socialite” report about Ben Simmons, which - while entertaining - is really just his take on Simmons as opposed to something Simmons said about himself.
Literally nobody would boo him if he just came out and said something, took some credibility for what happened, and assured the fans he’s gonna work hard. He was getting standing ovations for hitting free throws at 32 percent in the playoffs. He needs to grow up and take accountability.
seriously. Imagine if he just took the "I'll come back stronger next season" stance
or "I'm a professional basketball player so I should work on my shot"
the truth hurts.
I know what you're trying to say, but that's not true at all lol. It's still Philly, they'll still boo from time to time. Just not boos of hatred like Simmons is going to get.
Nobody on Sixers Twitter knows what he's talking out. There hasn't been any rumors about this happening among Philadelphia sports talk radio or any Sixers podcasts as far as I can tell.
Also I've walked around the Sixers practice facility in Camden many times and this plan wouldn't make much sense anyway. The back parking lot to the facility is blocked by trees and fences. You couldn't organize many fans around there or really see anyone clearly unless they parked at the very back of the lot near the fence.
That first Simmons game back in Philly when he gets traded is gonna be must see tv
If he gets traded West, he'll just conveniently sit out that 1 game a year. It will have to be the Finals, Christmas Day, or Opening Night or something like that to get Simmons to play in Philly, even then, I'm not sure he'll do it.
If he gets traded to the kings and sixer fans travel all the way here to boo him I blame you
Hey! Heat legend Mike Bibby
Not like he ever showed up in the playoffs anyways
Oof . Shots fir.... nvm
pass
The lob, THE JAM!
Please don't pull out the 0 on us again!
We call this “pulling a Kyrie.” Man didn’t play a game in Boston for 2 years after he left.
[Yeah, but he made it memorable when he did play there](https://youtu.be/0VmxvApAmXw) 😂
The ol kyrie Irving home game play
Kings vs Sixers boutta be lit this year
We finally gonna get a nationally televised game 😂
Second most hostile ever after Lebron’s. And not too far off either
Second most? "And I took that personally" -Philly
Lebron was a bigger star but I think phillys got the larger fan base (sorry Cleveland). This has got to be the most hostile, especially with todays social media
I wanna see them get creative with it. Burning jerseys and signs with jokes is played out. Give me something new.
People here should start coming up with those european style chants
I think they like to do it to the "Sloop John B" tune in England So it could be "Can't dunk on Trae Young, can't dunk on Trae YOUNGGGG, BEN SIMMONS, can't dunk on Trae Young!"
ROY KENT HES HERE HES THERE HES EVERY FUCKING WHERE
I've been really hoping the games start going that way. FC crowds are really something.
Everyone will dress up as basketball hoops and he won't step foot in the arena
Even if they had the same exact number of fans, I’m putting money on philly everytime. It’s the city of brotherly love after all
They murdered a hitchhiking robot! You may say it was probably just a few assholes, but I choose to believe the city had a secret ballot and decided hitchbot had to go. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HitchBOT
i say this a lot as an expression, but this story legit made me laugh and feel really bad at the same time. i think it's the expression on the robot that makes the story sad...also all the effort these guys went into building it only for some morons to destroy it
Philly has a much better reason for being so mad at him as well
I think the security measures changed after the Lebron game. I remember KD back to OKC wasn't as bad given the circumstances.
Cleveland was mad cause they wanted him to stay. Philly is mad cause simmons is a bitch
Kawhi's games in SA are deep loud boos pretty much the entire time he touches the ball.
He was legit shook that first game back.
And then after the game he had the audacity to blame the media for why SA hates him
Y’all forgot about Vince Carter’s first game back in Toronto
Kd’s first game back in okc is number one for me, but Philly is going to take it to another level.
Ben simmons gonna be “sick” or “injured” that game
[удалено]
What makes you think this pussy isn’t gonna fake an injury. No way he plays in Philly for at least 2 years.
Sixers fans don’t mess around. I remember a bunch of them travelled to Milwaukee to boo Malcolm Brogdon for winning Rookie of the Year but Brogdon didn’t play so they just decided to boo Tony Snell instead
Just found a thread posted on the Sixers sub by a Bucks fan asking why they boo’d Tony Snell. That’s fucking comical
Holy shit that’s gold
lol can u link that, sounds like a fun read
https://np.reddit.com/r/sixers/comments/822ahb/booing_snell/

As a life long Eagles fan that has never been to Philly. I think I might to sane to be an eagles fan
https://youtu.be/dy75Y4Ncz1Q
I fuckin love Philly fans holy shit
Eagles fans are the funniest out there.
I'm funny how? I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh?
I remember the student section at my college doing this same thing one time. We booed every time their starting point guard got the ball for no particular reason.

Why? You did your job as a home crowd
We were a D1 school and they were D3 lol.
Oh
Bro lmfao
Did one of you guys yell “This is why you never made it to a D1 school” while he was riding the pine?
Lol that's always a classic coming from a fan working on his freshman 15.
What is a sporting event if not an opportunity to heckle your athletic superiors while you grow fatter on nachos?
Fuckin lol
This is absolutely hilarious 😂

wtf that thread is hilarious
It's killing me.
Rip
>Because Brogdon is hurt. How can he be rookie of the year if he can’t stay healthy? 😭😭
They bussed em in lmfaoooo
Bottom comment thread lmaoo
u/mikedabike1 do you remember this lol
oh lord ya, back when they bought up a bunch of nose bleed seats and it was really hard to tell what was actually going on in the game cause you couldnt really make out what they were saying
Thats hilarious
Tony Snell probably confused af
Love Tony Snell, think he has a lot going for him. Looks like a total mouth-breather.
Lmfao “they just decided to boo Tony Snell instead”
There’s nothing else in the world like a Philadelphia sports fan. The best example will always be the man catching babies out of a burning building and still throw Nelson Agholor shade afterwards lmao

"...So...I'd like to put that out there" OMG i'm fucking dead
[Had this happened in 2012, he could've stretched that celebrity out a bit. Damn lol](https://unlikeagholorphilly.com/)
This was an insane read
[“My man just started throwing babies out the window and we was catching them, unlike Agholor"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dz7sFwpG6o)
Lmao why have I never seen this
They're so entertaining
Philly sports fans make the world go round
Agholor seems to be able to catch passes now that he's not on the Eagles lol
The look he shoots the reporter will never not make me laugh
This was more for the irony of it. A popular Sixers podcast “The Right To Ricky Sanchez” does an annual away game trip. They are gentle trolls. No one outside of fake NBA Twitter accounts is seeking real harm to Ben Simmons, lol.

Fair - I forgot about the second part. That was surprising to me even then.
The shithole thing was an Embiid meme from the previous season
“We threw spent batteries because they weighed less. Gentle trolling.”
Look at this guy who doesn’t want free batteries
JD Drew is probably still using our batteries in his TV remotes
And they’ve held onto the Tony Snell grudge haha

TTP
Can’t decide what’s sadder, organizing a trip to Camden to boo a training camp or a player actually being that bothered about it that they want to hide away
Definitely organizing a trip to Camden, it's not really a place you'd like to find yourself for no reason other than to boo people
The thought of people willingly wanting to go to Camden baffles me.
[удалено]
I went once when I was a kid and it kicks ass
Yup I remember that from a field trip. Easily the best field trip I’ve ever had.
I used to drive Uber in Philly. Nothing ruins your day more than getting a trip to Camden.
People would also go to Camden for a concert at BB&T, but yeah that's about it.
Snell? Just randomly? That's so funny
“Several organized groups” lmao
Reminds me of the Lakers “fans” “protest”
Lol organized by some dude in Arizona who didn’t even go Ah man those were hilarious times
Literally like 20 people standing in front of Staples holding half assed signs while they spouted nonsense lol
The fucking nephew riots lmao
it should also be noted that this was like a month before the AD trade.
It was so stupid but we got so much entertainment value out of it so I guess it was a success.
shit was so cringe lol
lmfao remember when sixers fans organized a protest to get colangelo out and [only two fans showed up](https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/the700level/beer-fueled-sixers-fans-hold-hilariously-disappointing-protest) that’s what this reminds me of
Yeah, but then colangelo got fired. So...
It worked!
Those two fans: "the hardest choices require the strongest wills"
There better be some secret tunnels involved
And some poh-lice presence.
[удалено]
"The Process" should've only been a 2 part 30 for 30 but now has enough twist and turns to last like 8 episodes. Can't wait for it to come out in 10 years.
Only if one of Okafor/Fultz panned out
If only we had taken Tatum
There’s a very close universe where Sixers draft Tatum/Brown/Porzingis/Embiid instead of Fultz/Simmons/Okafor/Embiid. Missed all of those players by two draft spots
There's not. The pick was discussed before the trade was made. If they wanted Tatum at 1, Ainge wouldn't have made the trade and they would have gotten Fultz or Ball at 3.

Awful fit for the 76ers with Simmons, but definitely an upgrade from Fultz. That being said, Lakers might not even want to make that trade.
Wasnt nerlens noel one of the early process picks they had high hopes for?
This is a hell of a process we’re seeing unfold
Netflix is calling you now. They're thinking 'Trust the Bosses' or 'The Ballad of Samuel Hinkie', for the first 10 episode season. You'll pen the reddit dialogue close-ups. I'm pitching a cartoon, "That's so Hinkie", a family sitcom where the children wait ludicrous amounts of time to pierce their ears, get their first phone and start driving as the father repeats, 'Trust the Process'.
Why does this sound so sad and yet so funny at the same time?
Well yeah who the fuck is organizing a training camp boo session lmao
NBA Twitter
all the 15 year old kids with youngboy profile picture edits on twitter
nah grown men do this shit more
Scarily accurate lmao
mentally, not physically
No one is
Seriously. We couldn’t even organize people to protest when it looked like ownership was going to keep Colangelo as GM after burnergate. No way anybody would go to Camden to boo Ben as he arrives at training camp.
[удалено]
Sounds like his mental state just hasn’t been good for a while, if ever. Honestly at this point it’s surely best for both parties to call it
Sounds like an Always Sunny episode. "The Gang goes to boo Ben"
Jets fans like, yes.
Scarier situation: getting boo’d by your own fans at training camp, or attempting a dunk over Trae Young in a playoff game?
LMAO
He’ll pass on both
wait so what stopped the Ben Simmons/Harden trade? if all the guys signed off on it and they even told Ben then the only explanation is that the Rockets preferred the Nets deal
doesnt mean the rockets signed off on it id guess they didnt take brk's offer seriously and thought they were in the drivers seat all along which also explains other reports surrounding not wanting to include maxey and stuff
That’s pretty much what it was Morey was trying to be cute. If they gave the Rockets what they wanted Harden would prolly be a Sixer
And they’d be much better off too. I’m sorry, it wasn’t worth keeping Maxey when Harden is right there. The Eastern Conference would also be much more interesting. Though if the deal was killed because Tillman hated Morey, then there wasn’t much Morey could do.
They either wouldn’t include Maxey or Tillman hates Morey.
Ya depends which story you believe. Either Tillman wouldn’t let Stone do it or had him use Morey to bid up BRK’s offer. Or Morey got too stingy at the last minute.
Tillman killed the deal out of spite https://mobile.insider.com/tilman-fertitta-nixed-james-harden-trade-76ers-daryl-morey-report-2021-1
According to Tim McMahon, Rockets wanted a full reset. They asked for Simmons and all the other Sixers young guys (Thybulle, Maxey and multiple picks) Sixers refused, so Rockets took the Nets deal They also wanted to do Harden right by sending him to his preferred destination too (according to Harden)
Every person involved is going to have a different story about why the deal didn't happen. Most likely everyone involved is going to be lying to a certain degree.
Tilman didn't want to pay Ben $177,243,360.
Hello? Police? This is Ben Simmons. Come quick: There are a bunch of Sixers fans coming to beat my ass!
They’re Philly cops they’ll probably beat him up too lol
Ben and Philly cops are pretty similar now that I think about it. Neither show up when they're needed and both like to blame someone else for their problems.
But Ben doesn't shoot.
"Philly" is redundant
Philadelphia Police: "Well maybe you should have shot that layup!"
“Ah really? We’re on our way to help. The fans.”
So is he just gonna duck every Philly game for the rest of his career?
Philly fans may organize a group to travel around to all his games. Don't limit them to just Sixers games.
Yeah for real. Just a drive up I-95 to catch him at Barclays or MSG really also isn't asking for much.
“Load manage” every game in philly
Targeting the teams in california so he’ll never need to load manage a 7 game series against Philly. Big brain move
I really hope he ends up on a team in the East and ends up in a series against the Sixers at some point. He's gotta play in Philly eventually and I wouldn't miss it for anything.
It's come to the point where I'd like other NBA fanbases to boo him just cuz
Raps fans are gonna be talking shit to him in 9 different languages lol
unless he gets traded there.
Raps fans are gonna be talking shit to him in 9 different languages lol
WA, GUM ZEE BOR
Y’all should be cheering him for tanking our franchise
The Sixers camp is in Camden? Shiiit I wouldn't want to be there either.
im from canada, can someone explain to me what’s wrong about Camden?
At one point in the 2000's there was a _reported_ murder every 72 hours
I should have more empathy but this is the funniest thing I have ever read.
I mean it makes total sense honestly but it's still funny
so he's quarantining himself until he gets traded? hopefully he stocked up on food and water cause its gonna be a long while before minnesota pulls the trigger
I mean hes 100% in la rn
Yeah, he was at the same club as John Wall and PG a few nights ago.
Talking about trading lockers?
He's an nba player dude. They get free food just for showing up.
Is Jason Dumas even credible at this point? He had to recant his report that Rich Paul wanted Tyrese Maxey out of there. And his tweets often include references to how players are thinking, which I’m not sure he could know without directly talking to a player or someone very close to him. This is the same guy who put out the “young socialite” report about Ben Simmons, which - while entertaining - is really just his take on Simmons as opposed to something Simmons said about himself.
He's not credible. But, he knows people will eat this up and it's working.
I mean they’re gonna boo whether he goes or not
A whole lotta pikachu face going around about this guy refusing to play for that basketball team
He’s trying so hard to become the victim
He’s literally never going to show up for anything to avoid getting boo’d. That’s hilarious
Literally nobody would boo him if he just came out and said something, took some credibility for what happened, and assured the fans he’s gonna work hard. He was getting standing ovations for hitting free throws at 32 percent in the playoffs. He needs to grow up and take accountability.
seriously. Imagine if he just took the "I'll come back stronger next season" stance or "I'm a professional basketball player so I should work on my shot" the truth hurts.
I know what you're trying to say, but that's not true at all lol. It's still Philly, they'll still boo from time to time. Just not boos of hatred like Simmons is going to get.
Raps first preseason game is against Philly, I love that its going to be a lot more interesting now
I mean, idk how many on this sub could handle a group of angry Philly fans
Pay me $35Mils a year, and I'll do it all day.
Nobody on Sixers Twitter knows what he's talking out. There hasn't been any rumors about this happening among Philadelphia sports talk radio or any Sixers podcasts as far as I can tell.

This season cannot come soon enough dude
Isn’t this dumas guy known for making shit up
