So now you're a Nets, Heat, and Sixers fan? Shouldn't you add on a couple of Western teams now?

Are you sure 7 teams is enough?

I tend to agree, but there is something to be said for players that really care about winning. We love guys like Jordan and Kobe who would run over their own mothers to win titles. Winning is its own reward for them. Simmons could have spent his year of forced unpaid labor at least trying to win, why not? Screw classes, but show some passion for the game.

And that's really the bigger point in what the person I quoted was saying. He just doesn't have much of a competitive spirit. For most players, especially the elite level players...if score is being kept...they want to win. Hell, even if score isn't being kept...they still want to win because you can bet they're keeping score in their head. lol

Ben doesn't seem to have that.

Going to sleep on it. May increase it to 15.

Thoughts?

He put in 20, 12, and 5, and got to the Free Throw line 300 times. He was top 10 in the SEC in Assist Percentage, Rebound Percentage, Steal Rate, and +/-. I am not sure we can say he didn't try on the court. They did not win, but it wasn't because of him.

There's more involved than numbers. Lots of guys put up numbers that don't equate to winning. Ben is one of those.

Still a bit risky. Better go with 20

And the year after he left they won 9 less games.

Simmons since his rookie year. This MFer should be jailed for grand larceny in Philadelphia as far as I am concerned.
