Why does the media call Ben Simmons a "star"

[Willie99]

Was he good in high school in some country that sucks in basketball?

He's as much a star as I am a retired poker millionaire

I'd call him a bust. Nets's bust, 76er's bust, playoff bust, early exit NIT bust Ben Simmons wants more money to do nothing

The bust couldn't even carry his team into the dance for Heaven's sake

Maybe he should go into politics

 

[carlspackler]

He’s a star because he nailed a Kardashian.

 

[Knightrofins]

Not a bust as he made all defensive teams.

but certainly has not lived up to his number 1 overall draft pick “the next one” status

 

[crudebar]

Attachment.

 

[crudebar]

You guys are crazy.

First I had to defend Irving and now Ben Simmons.

Obviously not a fan of either.. but come with this stuff.

 

[Avocado33]

In mainstream basketball talk there's a big difference between "star" and "superstar"

Ben definitely fits the "star" mold....when he plays.

3 all-star appearances in a young career, great playmaker, one of the best defenders in the league

 

[crudebar]

He has made just 2 less all-star games at age 25 then top 75 all time player Reggie Miller.

Kinda funny.

 

[Willie99]

Good god, stop with the nonsense. The C's put him in the coo coo house, he hasn't emerged since

And he is a great defensive player, nobody scores on him. He's as good as the fucking dance squad. Dresses the part too

 

[Willie99]

KD got swept because of Kyrie and Baby Ben

FACT

 

[CHOPTALK]

If I had to choose between him and flat earth guy I probably take Simmons

 

[CHOPTALK]

And I would not blame him for his lack of success in college .
That LSU team was a joke

 

[crudebar]

I have a feeling the OP would take Marcus Smart over Ben Simmons.

 

[Willie99]

If I had to choose between him and flat earth guy I probably take Simmons

Flat earth is a special kind of stupid

 

[crudebar]

Flat earth is a special kind of stupid

No question Irving has had "special" throw-in around to numerous aspects of his life.

 

[Avocado33]

KD got swept because of Kyrie and Baby Ben

FACT

What did Simmons have to do with it?

KD got swept cuz KD and Kyrie sucked

Worst series of KD’s career all things considered

 

[Willie99]

I have a feeling the OP would take Marcus Smart over Ben Simmons.

Absolutely

I'll take a man over chicken shit all day every day

Simmons Sucks

 

[Willie99]

What did Simmons have to do with it?

KD got swept cuz KD and Kyrie sucked

Worst series of KD’s career all things considered

Seriously? Simmons was scared, that was his chicken shit roll

 

[Avocado33]

Seriously? Simmons was scared, that was his chicken shit roll

KD was pretty clearly the main reason they got swept

He could've been so much better

Kinda funny.

Cant argue with DIS HERE logic,,,,,
