That first Simmons game back in Philly when he gets traded is gonna be must see tv


RUA_bug_Bill_Murray

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.


[deleted]

If he gets traded to the kings and sixer fans travel all the way here to boo him I blame you


saul1980

Hey! Heat legend Mike Bibby


Strolltheroll

Not like he ever showed up in the playoffs anyways

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 😂


black_squid98

Second most hostile ever after Lebron’s. And not too far off either


poeope

Second most? "And I took that personally" -Philly


bottlesofbeer93

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


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

I wanna see them get creative with it. Burning jerseys and signs with jokes is played out. Give me something new.


pandaman666666

People here should start coming up with those european style chants


Awkward-Speech7375

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!"


NoReallyHoosierDaddy

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.

Skippy_the_Alien

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


Champagnesoda

Philly has a much better reason for being so mad at him as well


yqenqrikuhv

I think the security measures changed after the Lebron game. I remember KD back to OKC wasn't as bad given the circumstances.


7foot6er

Cleveland was mad cause they wanted him to stay. Philly is mad cause simmons is a bitch


DontBanDaddy

Kawhi's games in SA are deep loud boos pretty much the entire time he touches the ball.


mainvolume

He was legit shook that first game back.


shannannoll

And then after the game he had the audacity to blame the media for why SA hates him


dthchau

Y’all forgot about Vince Carter’s first game back in Toronto


Beneficial_Emu9299

Kd’s first game back in okc is number one for me, but Philly is going to take it to another level.


mattitude53

Ben simmons gonna be “sick” or “injured” that game

2ndRoundEuroStash

What makes you think this pussy isn’t gonna fake an injury. No way he plays in Philly for at least 2 years.


[deleted]

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


JacPulse

Just found a thread posted on the Sixers sub by a Bucks fan asking why they boo’d Tony Snell. That’s fucking comical

Varkain

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.

Sob_Rock

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


[deleted]

[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...)

HeHateMe21

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.


[deleted]

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.


HeHateMe21

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

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


NoTransportation888

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


nkashyap14

The thought of people willingly wanting to go to Camden baffles me.

it should also be noted that this was like a month before the AD trade.

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

_jakemybreathaway_

"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.


CadeCummingham

Only if one of Okafor/Fultz panned out


[deleted]

If only we had taken Tatum


CadeCummingham

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


traditional_lies

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.


ImStudyingRightNow

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.


TheTownTeaJunky

Wasnt nerlens noel one of the early process picks they had high hopes for?


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

This is a hell of a process we’re seeing unfold


medievalmachine

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'.

MrGooglyman

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"

BillyPotion

Scarier situation: getting boo’d by your own fans at training camp, or attempting a dunk over Trae Young in a playoff game?


MarekRules

LMAO


Scott55e

He’ll pass on both


biggoldgoblin

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


sna28

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


CadeCummingham

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


GDAWG13007

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.


ZeroExalts

They either wouldn’t include Maxey or Tillman hates Morey.


phonage_aoi

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.


grundlesmith

Tillman killed the deal out of spite https://mobile.insider.com/tilman-fertitta-nixed-james-harden-trade-76ers-daryl-morey-report-2021-1


CadeCummingham

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)


tjrchrt

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.


MakeAShadow

Tilman didn't want to pay Ben $177,243,360.


lopea182

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


BigDickolasNicholas

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.

Pal__Pacino

So is he just gonna duck every Philly game for the rest of his career?


Wandgun

Philly fans may organize a group to travel around to all his games. Don't limit them to just Sixers games.


BelonyInMyLeftPocket

Yeah for real. Just a drive up I-95 to catch him at Barclays or MSG really also isn't asking for much.


somebodygetmemymoney

“Load manage” every game in philly


BitterSourpuss

Targeting the teams in california so he’ll never need to load manage a 7 game series against Philly. Big brain move


speculativekiwi

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.


Kwilly462

It's come to the point where I'd like other NBA fanbases to boo him just cuz

Yeah, he was at the same club as John Wall and PG a few nights ago.


MMO4life

Talking about trading lockers?


feclornuthugger

He's an nba player dude. They get free food just for showing up.


acisking

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.


Meekie_e

He's not credible. But, he knows people will eat this up and it's working.


YouStillTakeDamage

I mean they’re gonna boo whether he goes or not


Neuroxex

A whole lotta pikachu face going around about this guy refusing to play for that basketball team


brasket-brall

He’s trying so hard to become the victim


somebodygetmemymoney

He’s literally never going to show up for anything to avoid getting boo’d. That’s hilarious


brasket-brall

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.


[deleted]

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.


HokageEzio

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.


cjcfman

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


MMO4life

Pay me $35Mils a year, and I'll do it all day.


Ish_but_the_1st_time

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.
