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
Deserves no credit. Zero none.
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
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?

He’s trying to get another contract.
What more can you do? Good offense just wins.
The modern Larry bird at it again
I think Larry Bird had a better 3 point shot than Ben Simmons.
Brutal lol
Looking at the ref and those body movements waiting for the foul ruined it for me lol Luka is so gooood, you dont need the ref baby
Luka legit has some of the best handles of all time
bro has a deeeep bag. it’s truly one of my favorite aspects of Luka. He enjoys cooking players up one on one. He really does seem to love embarrassing opponents🤣
As a side comparison, I actually think Kyrie has better one on one cookups being that he’s a bit quicker. But Luka is more versatile and reliable imo making him a more efficient point scorer.
Great offense beats great defense, a demonstration
I think I’m in the minority of Ben Simmons believers. I’m not saying back to where he was, but at least a good starter in the NBA.
Ben Simmons plays smothering defense on Luka Doncic, who commits a clear offensive foul and hits the triple anyway.
Love this angle + the way Ben was playing. Absolutely smothering Luka the entire time but ofc It's Luka lol. Really hope this year is the year Ben ups his game. Rooting hard for him rn
He messed up when he gave him space. Should’ve stayed on him.
Can't defend that any better honestly, unless you are Christian Wood. But glad to see Simmons back. You can tell he is really digging in on defense in that video clip. Hopefully he continues to stay healthy.
Luka is such a bitch when he plays but he’s so good
LuFuckYou Three
He's not the most accurate 3 point shooter, but I feel like he's equally accurate no matter how difficult the shot
To Ben Simmons' credit Luka fouled. You can't just throw someone's arm out of the way.
Ben Simmons out a month for mental health after this one.
He put his whole benussy into that one
Ben does reach. It's a foul but it makes for a good clip in the end.
Wow. The other four guys must of had a great time standing around watching Luka dribble the air out of the ball ;-)
Luka literally bitchin every second he has
It’s nice seeing Ben Simmons locked in playing basketball. Good for the league
Probably told him he should’ve stayed on Twitch.
I hope Ben gets his shit together and comes back to 100%
And that’s from a bitter sixer fan.
Ben saw a dude shoot in his face and was like wtf is that.
Tough scene
Simmons is reaching in big time
From this angle you can appreciate how hard it is to guard a great NBA player. He might seem slow but he is smooth.
If this version of Ben Simmons was playing last year, maybe that super team stays together.
Good for him showing his old self.
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?
