Ben Simmons is gone

[SteelersPride]

If he ever develops a jumper he will be a tremendous player. He needs to put up a minimum of a 1000 a day.

I’m a huge fan. Love his game

Totally. I got his jersey but don’t wear it cause I look like a dumbass.
But he just HAS to start shooting. He could be 1st team all nba with even an average jump shot.

I'm curious, does he spend much time in LA?

He scored when embiid was down

Yep. But he can score, dribble, rebound, pass all at elite levels but he can’t shoot... yet

in some areas, but he needs a lot of work in the half court.

Yes

ALWAYS

 

[ATL96Steeler]

yep, and now we signed a 33 year old center for the next 4 years for over 100M+, what a world

Horford is a good player, good basketball IQ (overall IQ can't be too bad to get another $100 mil from an NBA team), but I don't see him as being a difference maker in PHI.

Follow him on Instagram. Dude is ALWAYS there. Now Manster or someone is going to say, "How can he always be there when he travels all over the country playing basketball games" but you know what I mean.

Me too. 100 million for Horford. I remember when the NBA owners were pissed at Philly for giving MVP Moses Malone 2 million per.

I felt the wrath of fo, fo, fo, fo....lol...sad the big fella is no longer with us.

Horford is a good piece, does a lot of things well, but no go to move or shot, and typically does not want the ball at the end of games (never did with the Hawks anyway).

How does that guy make $100mil at his age?

Insanity. I just got a $240 rebate from Geico and I felt rich!

Spot on.

A lot of people don't remember, but Magic was not a great shooter outside 18' for a long time, but he developed more range and that little set shot of his eventually became somewhat reliable even from 3. I'm watching mostly during the playoffs now, but players back in that era seemed to really work on their weaknesses more than they do today. Even MJ developed more range and more consistency on his jumper as his career unfolded.

Simmons needs to get in the gym and work on it, work on it, work on it.
