With what Reggie tweeted, Ben will now be out for another year. He gets injured hearing criticism.

Me and Ben Simmons played the exact same amount of minutes in the NBA this year!!! I’m so proud of myself!!

Charles Barkley may not have won a championship but he definitely has a champion’s mindset, and that’s something very few people have.

That's why Kobe is so beloved and respected, not only among NBA players but other sports as well. Dude gave his heart and soul to the game, and never cheated you with effort.

I remember Drexler with the rockets. Came down with this brutal flu in I think the 2nd round. Lost 10 pounds. Showed up looking like actual death. Only played like 8 minutes and looked like he needed to be hospitalized. But what he said after the game and says to this day was "I had to try." That's what gamers do.

I love how Ernie casually remembers that Scottie had 11 rebounds on Saturday night, and how he slides in those facts to support Charles' rant. He is the anchor of the show.

"Get some icy hot I'll send it to you"
Shaq with the shameless plug lol

Stephen A. put it perfectly: Guaranteed money is going to decrease in the next collective bargaining agreement, and it will be called the "Ben Simmons Rule."

I only have one person to be happy for, Scottie Barnes, congrats bud on Rookie of the year, your actions speak everything, glad we drafted you buddy, glad that we have you!

shaq's right. brook lopez won a championship, injured his back, had surgery, rehabbed, and came back to play in the same time that ben has been out. if ben's back has been hurting this long, he should've already had surgery. also to chuck's point, joel embiid is playing with a torn tendon in his hand. a torn tendon. that right there tells us all we need to know about why they didn't get along. one's a competitor, one is not

“I know if you sit on yo A** all the time your backs probably gonna hurt.”

Ben Simmons doesn’t have 10% the heart Scottie Barnes has lol

[Mariopuzo]

I have lost all respect for Ben Simmons as a professional basketball player. The dude few days ago said he had no pain and will be ready for game 4. They lost game 3, sensing a sweep, he automatically had a pain is his back. Shaq is right, this was a punk move.

[carlossalazar]

“You know I know” Shaq knows those back injuries all to well in those days with the Lakers

[Foxy-oboe]

Scottie Barnes praise. Love the old crew. They call it like they see it 😩🤣🤣🤣

[prod.snqwfall]

Charles Barkley was in Championship Chuck form today 🏆

[c.hobson]

Ben Simmons quit on LSU, Philly and now the Nets. They should have already known who he is.

[md-ozte]

the worst part is him trying to still get paid 🤮 it’s rlly sick and pathetic for the game of basketball and nba

Once upon a time in the 1970 NBA FINALS there was a center named WILLIS REED who got hurt in game 5. He didn't play in game 6. The Knicks won forcing a GAME 7 at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. In spite of his injury Willis limped unto the floor for warmups jumped center with WILT & even hit a couple shots before going to the bench the rest of the game. The Knicks went on to win the chip. His mere presence on the floor as THE CAPTAIN inspired his teammates to perform at even higher level than usual. If Willis could do it along with ISIAH in 1988 (don't get me started) why can't you BEN?
