Gilbert Arenas on Stephen A Smith Calling Ben Simmons Sorry & Trifling for Trolling 76ers (Part 10)

--------

I’m starting to believe that Arenas is either secretly related to or has a crush on Ben Simmons the way he defends Ben Simmons. Embiid wasn’t even part of the question, and he has to invoke his name to deflect from telling the truth about Ben Simmons. And did this dude really compare Ben Simmons to Kobe when he used Shaq and Kobe as an illustration to when talking about Simmons and Embiid?! Embiid played bad, but Simmons disappeared.

When your main defense for Ben Simmons who averages almost 17 points during the season is that he played at least great defense in the playoffs, you know you have no argument.

How this whole conversation turn to an Embiid thing? Lol

[johnnyblingg]

This man compared “Mr. Practice 24/7” Kobe Bryant to “I’m gon take a season off bc my feelings got hurt” Ben Simmons.

Embiid could’ve played better, but Been didn’t play at all. What is there really to discuss?

[iamjamesmeeks]

Joel Embiid has his flaws but that has nothing to do with Ben Simmons being a broken player. And the problem with Ben is people like Arenas make excuses for him and never hold him accountable for his shortcomings. He makes $35M+ a year and he’s afraid to shoot a basketball. That’s no one’s fault but his own.

So in that case we can blame Gil for Kwame Brown being a trash player 😂😂😂

[jordancarlin]

Gil just compared Ben Simmons to Kobe 🤦‍♂️

[Nedo_ao]

Embiid issue is he needs to kill in the post before he wants to play like KD, he also needs a nutritionist like Jokic. You can tell Jokic has a plan, they're the same size but Jokic is in great shape.

Makes NO SENSE!! You can blame Embid for Simmons being SCARED!! And not developing!! 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[heemladen]

But Ben isn’t what Kobe was to shaq..: Gil wrong in this situation

[NickN_]

Philly sport radio cooked Embiid for an week straight 😂, Gil be in his own world

[machomusprime]

Dumbest analogy ever!! Ben Simmons regressed almost every year in the NBA after like his 3rd season. So blame the guy carrying the team because he's simply more talented? Stop coddling him like a victim.

Vlad making us work for these interviews with these 1 minute clips 😂

[jeremiahdavis]

So he not going blame Ben at all smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

[alphamalementality]

Gilbert arenas is the Kanye west of the nba 💯

[micktrav]

You wild wit all these 1 minute clips tho

[Mrdeaconsir]

1. Kobe was gonna be hungry regardless of who was on his team 2. Ben Simmons shouldn’t have to rely on another grown man’s talents to be hungry if he can’t do that on his own he got other issues

[muggamason]

Wtf is he talking about? Embiid just won mvp and he blames Embiid? Embiid gets better every year and Ben gets worse. Bro just be talking to talk.

[arashmicaily]

This is maybe the most false set of statements ever assembled. Ben simmons is the player that refused to work and never improved at anything despite having all the God given athletic ability in the world.

Embiid is the player that has improved and developed and improved skills every year.

That was insane to watch and listen to.

[derekowens]

Weak take. Embiid actually works on his craft. Simmons has skated for the last 6 years. Every summer Simmons shooting the lights out. In actual games, he flakes mostly. Gilbert has the worst takes.

Vlad really doin it with these min clips doe tf
