Ben Simmons Is The New Lebron James

jtoler · 11-16-17, 12:56 PM

His quickness for that size is too freakish, he could be a track star if he wanted to. He can get past guys on the perimeter, something Bron cant really do off the dribble, Bron has to bully his way through people.

Kermit · 11-16-17, 12:58 PM

He needs to work on his free throws.

PeterJohnson · 11-16-17, 12:59 PM

I see more Kobe then Lebron tbh

RudyRuetigger · 11-16-17, 01:02 PM

no clue who you are talking about

are these all rugby players?

thomorino · 11-16-17, 01:11 PM

I like Simmons but he can't shoot, he won't be anything big until he can.

jjgold · 11-16-17, 01:11 PM

19,11, and 5 at LSU. I heard the silly guys on my radio this morning saying the same thing. There was some negative talk about Simmons that year I forget exactly what it was about though.

Kid needs to put on serious bulk so he can finish with strength at the basket and not miss entire seasons due to injury

That's great you won a bailout bet on philly last night coach, just stop there

Comparing a blake griffin rookie to one of the greatest of all time simply bc he cashes tickets doesn't make u sharp, it just reminds me of when u got cat fished by KST last yr

Agreed.. Won't get past Cavs or Celtics.. Probably won't get past Washington and John Wall either..

Philly is a young super talented and athlete team that's developing.. Need a few years.. More team chemistry is needed, a go to player in the crunch is missing as well.. That will hurt them in the playoffs..

Lakers almost beat them last night.. That was a very close game up until the last few minutes of the game..

PaperTrail07 · 11-16-17, 02:50 PM

for sure--and the lakers are LEGIT terrible...getting putback for 1/2 their buckets or just driving and praying for a foul or soft D..

How is it possible to have ZERO made three pointers in 160 career NBA games in this era?

I mean even Manute Bol it 20 in one season

is this the laziest NBA Player in history?

get 1,000 shots up every day this summer kid

just look at how good the bucks are with brook lopez jacking up 3s, even though he sucks at it, it's one more thing for the defense to worry about

they don't even have to guard simmons, that's a huge advantage

d2bets · 05-16-19, 10:11 AM

You spelled Giannis wrong.

giannis sucks even worse at 3s... but he hardly ever shoots them

3 attempts last night vs 11 for lopez

203 attempts for the season vs 512 for lopez

lopez missed 12 straight 3s in the playoffs and still kept jacking them up, made 4 of them and still under 30%

Lebron basically sucks at 3's too.

Not talking 3's. Just saying Giannis is way closer to Lebron similarity that Simmons.

I think he only took like 2 threes that weren't from half court+ his whole career. But I think -200 he makes one just because of shot clock being low and him handling the ball a lot.

i just can't believe teams don't play way off him just dare him to shoot the ball

Cant shoot. Indifferent attitude.

not a great comparison

Giannis is career 27% shooter from distance

Lebron is 34%

you might think... "oh 7% points, that's pretty close"

for comparison purposes, Lebron is 3% below

Larry Bird's 37% career mark

some other notable 36-37% shooters that Lebron is only a few % points off of

Jason Terry
Scott Skiles
Mike Bibby
Paul George
Danny Ainge
Mike Dunleavy
Kerry Kittles
Kurt Heinrich
Nick Young
Sean Elliot

the difference between 27% and 34% is humongous

Michael Jordan was 32% by the way

rm18 · 05-16-19, 05:04 PM

Lebron take a lot of terrible 3's at the end of the clock he actually is better shooter that some of those guys.
