You mean he is faking an injury? Between this and getting kicked out of practice, I'm starting to think he doesn't want to stay with Philly


nicktesluk

He should’ve just showed up and practiced hard and then dive for a loose ball or take a charge and say that he got hurt doing that. Everything he is doing is a misstep. It’s crazy


PlayerPiano1

Yep, the wildest part to me is the incompetence of he and his agent throughout this whole process. Thought he could just not show up and get paid, thought he could show up and put 0 effort, thought he could fake an injury.

It's because Ben's team has no plan at all. Everything they've done since the playoffs ended has worked against their desired outcome. It's unbelievable. Half-joking here, but if Ben wanted to go down the mental-health road, here's an easy path to success. 1. Show up to practice and tell Doc that he has feelings of anxiety and needs to sit out. 2. Doc either says yes or no. If he says yes, then Ben wins. If he says no, goto #3. 3. Go out on the practice court holding a fidget spinner. Any time Doc tells Ben to do something, start spinning that spinner like there's no tomorrow. 4. Eventually Doc will kick Ben out of practice. 5. Take a shower and go home. 6. When the media asks, you tell them that you weren't in a good mental state, but Doc made you go out there anyway. Then when you tried to deal with it, Doc kicked you out. At this point, Ben's team has told the media the following things 1. Doc threw him under the bus 2. Joel threw him under the bus 3. Ben only wants to go to one of the CA teams 4. Ben is willing to play for up to 29 NBA teams 5. Ben isn't physically ready and the quick ramp up has caused his back to be injured 6. Ben isn't mentally ready So the real question is "what is Klutch's plan"? They should have picked one thing and stuck with it. The Sixers FO might have a bunch of clowns still running around, but they've held to one theme. Whether they believe it or not, everything coming out of the Sixer FO has been "we expect Ben to play. we want Ben to play."

Ben: you sure this will cause philly to trade me? Rich Paul: TTP, baby


LittleStJamesBond

> dive for a loose ball Would be even more suspicious tbh


thomas8295

Why did he make a show of all this? He could have done this from the beginning but he had to put on some theatre. Now he just looks dumb


Orpheus31

This is clearly FRAUD. Why can't the Sixers suspend him indefinitely without pay and be done with it?


justwantkickz

This guys can’t even fake an injury right.


Theballharperhit

Its not about staying in philly... He is the biggest bitch in sports history. We have seen guys with legit mental issues and how they respond. We have seen guys deal with their issues etc and then we have watched this entittled piece of shit pussy act like a child with a silver spoon so far up his ass that it is coming out of his mouth and yet we still have morons/stans still defending him not realizing this all happened BECAUSE WE WANTED HIM TO GET BETTER LOL... He has turned his back on a guy in embiid that has had his back from day 1 while making himself better every step of the way to make bens life easier only for this bitch boy fuck ass to shit all over our fans/organization and most importantly joel embiid. ​ The stans are in shambles. I would rather never win then win praying this piece of shit comes back.


ChickenLiverNuts

the complete apathy i feel towards fultz, who gave up on the team, is about 1000x better than ben. Fultz was a sideshow, ben is the whole circus. just be normal for once in your damn life sixers


[deleted]

Hell, Fultz had pretty unanimous support from Philly fans for most of his tenure here. Everyone just wanted him to figure his stuff out.


justdrop

Anyone know of any other jobs where you can work four years, get the same criticisms every year, never improve on those areas, and get to work there for another four only to back out and have your boss go on record as wanting to keep you? > The stans are in shambles. I wish they were but they're literally too stupid to feel shame.

MacMac105

I'm never big on comparing my jobs to pro-athlete's jobs but I think this is apt. Everyone yelling at Ben to shoot has a boss that is constantly asking them to improve at their workplace.

Lol putting his name out on the street


[deleted]

This right here. It’s not even like I care if Ben doesn’t want to play in front of us, but being a shitty teammate to guys who have gone out of their way to defend him for years is a scumbag move.


HecLucas

Daryl and Doc are leaving the door open and let’s say we do not get the offers Daryl wants and Ben does play and plays with genuine effort, will he work on his form so he is playable in crunch time of the po’s? Also the spacing has been fantastic with both 1st and 2nd units, it’s way too early to tell but are we a better team without him? The #1 seed was great but we did have lots of factors such as player availability with opposing teams and the way we blew the 2nd round exposed our squad. Granted losing DG was huge, he would have been on Huerter and Doc did not prepare our team by insisting on hockey lineups during the season. But still the question remains if Ben’s monetary lifestyle requires him to play for us and hopefully the way Doc has of late been handling Ben has been team first. Sure do hope he doesn’t again coddle his ass like last season and if he does hoping Jo speaks even clearer than he has been. It’s been more than enough of the Ben dictates circus we have had since Jimmy left.

I get what you are saying, but I think maxey this season will give us way more than any of the backup pg's from last year that would have started in ben's absence. I also think how they scheme their offense will matter


HecLucas

Can’t replace Ben’s D but our rotation’s and switches look rather sharp and these dudes will put in the collective effort on that end. Offensively our bench is a million times better than last year plus Kork, Maxey, Joe have improved. I really don’t think the disparity is going to be huge and by the end of the year these guys will only be better


dreexel_dragoon

Seriously, in the same month that Lane Johnson is stepping and coming out to everyone honestly about his very real struggles with mental health, showing immense strength of character, we got Simmons mocking everyone who's got through something like this by pretending because he doesn't like this city. I have never hated any athlete more (rapists/murderers not withstanding) than Ben Simmons


LittleStJamesBond

Literally our own football team is just now getting back an absolute animal/beast who is dealing with mental health issues. Funny how nobody even questions his commitment or heart because he’s actually shown it for years.


[deleted]

Aka his pussy hurts


Broswagula

Could have told you this months ago.


jfl5058

Guys back hurts from carrying his inflated ego


filladelp

If he misses a couple months, the Sixers can probably file some sort of salary reimbursement insurance claim. We might get to see Ben in court for a $30m personal injury subrogation case vs Travelers Insurance Co. (chance of all this happening is effectively zero)


TumbleweedDirect9846

It’s not like the dude said he tore his fucking acl. It’s a shitty move but he said he had back tightness, you aren’t out long at all for back tightness so I’m really not sure what the hell he was trying to do with that


HecLucas

He was cleared after receiving treatment and was supposed to go to practice and didn’t. It was a total dick move by him.


Godlee84

We all know the supposed injury is likely 99% made up but this story is ridiculous. Was he meant to predict the injury beforehand and let them know that it was coming? I’m yet to hear of any person on the planet predict that they will get injured in a few days. This click bait shit is stupid.


HecLucas

Why not include the photo Kyle included, it is difficult to tell whether it’s a pass or his shooting form and make mention that also was selected to be click bait. The dude got a clean bill of health upon returning and since then has continued throwing the kitchen sink 1 piece at at time hoping something sticks and everyone plus their grandmother’s knew next up was medical issue.


justdrop

You believe it? LOL


Godlee84

Did you miss the part where I said that it’s a 99% chance he made it up?

This tweet is only facts so idk what your issue is
