Imagine players in the 90’s telling the media they’re this or that??? They let their game speak for themselves.

Hey Ben, just come to the Lakers. No need to complicate things.

I honestly mean this sounds crazy but Simmons could be Giannis level and he doesn’t need a jumper, he just needs to be aggressive. If you watch the games he’s so passive even with small guards on him, if he’s aggressive, he could be so dominant. He shows flashes but after scoring he’ll go 5+ possessions where he passes right away

I remember Kawhi shooting 60% on that 76ers series with Simmons, Embiid, Butler and Harris switching around guarding him. 🤣

Man this generation of NBA sucks. Bron says he’s the best ever. Draymond says he’s the best defender ever. Simmons says he’s the DPOY. Generation of entitled self promoters.
