I think being a leader is one of those things where you can lead in many different ways. I think, for me, I try to lead by example. I’ve had the opportunity now to go into this team (the Nets) and do that. So, I’ve been blessed with that opportunity and I think I’ve been a great leader so far.

Leader? Who tf has he been leading? Bridges? Lol

[–] EddyTreeNJ@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

nets have a lot of young players, so it makes a lot of sense that he is helping them.

His greatest leadership moment was posting a photo of himself cozy under a blanket with the TV showing the Sixers down by 30 to Boston in game 7.

it's a low bar when you look at the last guys there who were supposed to be 'leaders'

[–] jbenson255@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Does everyone else in the room know he’s a leader ?

This is the boss calling employees back to the office from his yacht

People will mock but I want a Ben that's engaged with his team and more outspoken and taking that leadership mantle. That's showing us that Ben is maturing and growing as a teammate which was something he needed to do. It's a good thing. He's comfortable and seems to be enjoying himself and truly enjoying being back on the floor and back in the locker room amongst the guys, which is also a good thing.

This is certainly going to frustrate many people for no reason at all.

[–] Groundhog_fog@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ayton, Simmons, and Poole are the MVP candidates.

Ben play good then go ahead and say this

A true NBA leader is one who makes sure his teammates follow proper etiquette at the high end sushi place.

[–] ForneauCosmique@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'm convinced. That's what great leaders do. They lead greatly.

[–] ElRey814@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Young socialite, teach me your ways 🙏

[–] TheMandoAde888@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He leads by staying away.

[–] Tapprunner@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If Ben Simmons didn't have poor leadership skills, he'd have no leadership skills at all.

[–] Designer-Seaweed-257@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
