Luka Legend
I love how it looks like for a brief moment both players stop to look and complain to the ref and then just immediately play on lol
They tried to flop a little but the referee didn’t care
That’s a fake complain to ref
Luka looks at the ref like “are you gonna call that a foul” and Ben looks at the ref like “there’s no fuckin way you’re calling that a foul, right?” as if he just expected Luka to get the call.
You really gotta give Ben credit to be back out there and giving it his all
The dude got more hate than maybe any nba player ever and that would be really hard to move forward but hopeful it can push him forward
If he had a solid jump shot he really could be a top 10 pg in the next few years
LeBron post The Decision is the most hate an NBA player has gotten. Ben just got clowned. The level of vitriol for LeBron was absurd.
Lol “vitriol” is when it’s a player you like and “clowned” is when it’s a player you don’t like and probably participated in mocking.
You believe that Ben Simmons has received more hate at some point in his career than LeBron did after the Decision?
I didn’t say Ben had it worse. Just pointing out that the way you say “Ben just got clowned” makes it sound like he didn’t have an absurd level of vitriol directed at him when he absolutely did and often still does. Also I’m curious what metrics you’re going off of making such definitive statements.
He’s trying to get another contract.
Oh better than a top 10 pg
We forget how solid of a prospect Ben was. If he had a cold mentality he could be a top 3 PG. He could bully smaller guards while locking down their best player. He’s 6’10 and stronger than some small forwards! Behind Luka and Steph, he could be as good as Dame or Ja imo. And his court vision? chefs kiss
Realistically tho, I doubt that’ll happen. Top 10 is more realistic and achievable
Sixers fans will get laughed at if this ever happens (even though we all believed harder and longer than anyone thought we should have), and I still have complicated and angry feelings toward Ben for his mentality - but when he showed his flashes, and he still does sometimes (which is so endlessly frustrating), he had (has?) genuinely limitless potential
Deserves no credit. Zero none.
What more can you do? Good offense just wins.
I love luka but travel and fuck the nba for the so called gather
great defense
Ay honestly good going for Ben. Fans gave him shit (I’m included with them fans) these past few years, but good to see a player go back into form. He got that groove on.
I would foul Luka very very hard for acting like that
play ball and stop crying to the ref
Can’t wait till Luka stops looking at the refs. His game is so polished, if he just stopped foul baiting, he would be a fucking assassin.
How is an opponent supposed to play defense when you’re allowed to commit - checks video - 3 clear offensive fouls to set up your shot?
Give him that imo
Good playin Ben
He smothers him for about four seconds. But after Luka turns around, it’s over. Simmons stays in front of him, but that’s all he’s doing. He asked for help and nobody showed up.
Ben really back. Luka is Luka tho
This was actually really fun to watch
Luke even talks to the refs WHILE he’s in the play.
