I’ll give Stephen A all the credit in the world on this one, he called it he said that’s 72 hours from now 😂😂

[immanuel]

They're really gonna have a Ben Simmons rule and call it the B.S. rule 😂

[misterelom]

As a Sixers fan i'm glad a lot of these analysts are finally starting to see what we've been seeing for a while. Ben is finessing the league right now.

[jayh]

Stephen A with an actual correct take. Like 100% spot on couldn’t have said it any better

[MrPJfresh]

Almost everyone in sports media was trying to blame the Sixers, Joel Embiid, Doc Rivers, etc and now they realize what should've been obvious this whole time. Ben Simmons is the biggest clown in professional sports.

[Kratos]

Ben Simmons ain't really tryna hoop and help the team. Dude is a joke and how do you have a back injury when you’re spineless?!

[Arnold]

Stephen A was absolutely brilliant today analyzing both the Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons situations. In fact, the entire first half hour of the show was breath-taking in its presentation. Kudos to Stephen A and the panel.

[Jarekx]

He's 110% right about the Ben Simmons rule. Player power is at an all time high. They have it the best they will probably ever have it. Paul George already screwed it up when he signed a max extension then demanded a trade. Now we have Simmons who demands a trade and STILL doesn't play!

[earlthepearl]

Stephen A just unloaded the clip on one Mr Simmons and I absolutely love it! I’m glad somebody telling him like it is. Well done Stephen A.

[DecAllTimeAlways]

He quit on LSU. He quit on Philadelphia. He's quitting on Brooklyn. And he still wants to get paid for sitting out. I hope Ben Simmons is out of the league by next summer. A lazy Klutch client was never going to help KD & Kyrie.

[BassMusician]

"Getting his groove on" and tweaked his hip LMAO 😂😂😂

[Johnsons]

I genuinely agree with this take. I still think players need to be contractually protected and get paid during injury, but Simmons is seemingly exploiting the situation. However, it’s also buyer beware for the Nets 🤷‍♂️. If Simmons wants 20 mill without playing, then he’s gotta take the major ridicule that comes with it and the optics he’s creating (whether he realizes how disingenuous he comes across or not)

[thevagabondwarrior]

Usually don’t like Stephen A. Smith but he’s right on this one

[missingbuck]

I don't even blame Stephen A. for going off on Ben Simmons. He is the Clown of the NBA, even if it's true he's injured, the publicity he's been getting is why to me he deserves to be questioned and criticized.

[WakeAndBakeWithUncleRay]

The truth oftentimes hurts, no matter who says it. Stephen A, just is the one to say it most times. Respect and Salute, because they're going to drag him on this one!!!

[thomasbrandner]

This is Steven A's greatest take of all time

[RayMon]

Unreal how the Nets ended up with TWO superstars who are unreliable.

[allenmobley]

A rare moment when SAS is 100% right about an athlete.

[chrisb.]

This video had me dying 😂😂😂

I dont care what anybody says, SAS makes basketball so much more fun to follow

Poor Ben, injured his back carrying so many heavy bricks in the past four years. His passion is unmatched, I wish he could help me build my new house.
