Ben Simmons lab work - jumpshot looks good mate

[sosawestbrook]

[kingdom]

gotta do it in a game. saw shaq hit 25 free throws in a row in practice. game pressure totally different.

[temple2010]

Still all dunks and layups and against guys that are way smaller than him-

[Outsider626]

We talking about practice. During the game he will be trash as usual.

money well spent

MJ signed an 8 year 25 million contract in 1989 and wasn't even a top 30 paid player in 1996 on 72-10 team

The 96-97 season MJ made 30 million a year pal & that was unprecedented. 20+ years later that’s equivalent to I’d estimate 80-90 a year maybe more.

LeBron James should have gone to the Sixers

95-96 Bulls went 72-10 and he wasn't even a top 30 paid player.... check your facts

of course after ALL those years of being underpaid the Bulls had to do what they did to keep him for the last 2 years. You do know the Knicks, the commish were in cahoots trying to get Jordan to go to NY after the 72 win season right? that's the reason the Bulls had to do that, they owed him backpay basically from all the years he was paid less which helped the team keep a winner around him. He didn't care, he just wanted to win. but we all know things started souring before the final 2 years... stupid Jerry. Could've went for 4 in a row but no. Knicks were going to do the same shady stuff and pay him a bunch of extra million from a hotel chain that the NY knicks owners just so happened to own as well... calling it a sponsorship to go way over the cap. MJ was too smart tho to mess up... more loyalty.

again, 8 year contract in 89... total of 25 million. right as the spending by teams in the NBA started to rise sharply % wise each year

doesn't matter tho he made his money with shoes and commercials and everything else... all the guys who have/had shoe deals after MJ's have him to thank for all that extra money

[GzaTheGenius]

Almost convinced us you were American til that last mate there

[IBetYou]

Got wiggins & booker guarding so of cours he looks like the king. I think the main difference between a scrimmage and a real game is if you miss in a real game there's a real consequence. A price to pay!

[jjgold]

Ben will be fine

Young and working hard

me? I wish

Australia is on my bucket list though

yeah to be honest he showed similar strides with the jumper last summer but never actually implemented any of it in a game setting. he shot it plenty of times from that mid range area at LSU as well. I think this will be the year he finally does though. if that mid range jumper is legit and you start to see that in his bag of tricks, just forget about it. that takes his game to an entirely new level.

[jtoler]

all the haters will be eating crow after this season and beyond you wont hear a peep out of them about his jump shooting

[thechaoz]

LeBron James should have gone to the Sixers

This was my future bet

[sosawestbrook]

its funny because the kid is 23 and has only played two seasons in the league. folks act like hes reached his ceiling & will never get better.

that 3rd or 4th year in the league is when you start to see guys who are destined for greatness really start to elevate their game.

can't wait to see his progression this year with a Philly team that looks really really good.

[sosawestbrook]

LeBron James should have gone to the Sixers

This was my future bet

for sure that would have been the basketball decision, I think even LeBron knows that. but his decision to go to LA was bigger then hoops.

bring a title to Philly? legend.

bring a Lakers franchise back out of the mud for a title? in LA?? Hollywood??? its just different.

joke video . this is some sort of warm up game

if you understood the ethics behind playing ball in the offseason, you wouldn't say that.

these are NBA players working on their game in the summer. its not the NBA finals. it'd be insanely dumb to throw your body on the line, play tenacious defense & throw elbows at guys & shit.

priorities are health & building your skills.

its called LAB WORK.

$30 mill in 96 is worth $48,975,717.02 today............

I perfectly understand that. I am just saying you cannot draw any conclusion from highlights like that . you cannoot state if his jumpshot is improving or not

[clockwise1965]

He's uncoachable.

[GUMMO77]

Will this be the year he makes a three?

[sosawestbrook]

Sosa’s odds

Will Ben Simmons make a 3 this season?

Yes -120
No +100

Will Ben Simmons add the mid range jumper to his reportoire?

Of course -300
Not yet +550

Will the haters ever stop hating?

Nah -9000
Yah +50000

Over under supermodels dated during the season(ends final game reg season)

O1.5 -150
U1.5 +260

[rm18]

wtf you dont know how to set odds

[SomeDayinBuffalo]

He is going against pick up ball. They said they can hit shots in practice. Then in the he won't during the games. They will trade him after the next season if this keeps up.

Ok so I was off by a year.

[ThaTopMoron]

Ok so I was off by a year.

yeah... in my original post I said 96 on the 72-10 season. the season ended in 96 in June. that's how most refer to the 3-peats... 96,97,98...

funny that you said his pay in 97 would be like 80 million today and someone also corrected that and stated it's not even 50 today lol

Jordan started all the trends... besides changing teams just to try and have a better shot at winning and playing with your friends. Oh, and taking games off to rest in the regular season. Or jumping teams in your final seasons to chase a ring even if you're just a loser coming off the bench for 10 minutes a game. Hey! I got my ring... oh cool... too bad you didn't get it while in your prime and being the man on the team. Or being a crybaby about the world and bringing politics into the NBA world...

or .... flopping

or .... having to jack 40 3's a game ... although he shit on the critics in the finals vs blazers when the media was comparing him to drexler and stating drexler had the advantage from 3 and then Jordan had to state that he would have a higher % from deep if he actually put time into it but that wasn't part of his game, his choice to focus on dominating everywhere else on the floor while taking higher % shots and driving to go for and-1s and draw LEGIT fouls

OK... MJ started all the GOOD trends for NBA players today

then he went and broke the current NBA record at the time in a Finals game for 3's hit in a half and a game... just to prove his point. The MJ shoulder shrug. He only did that because he is ultra competitive and always liked the prove the naysayers wrong and took trash talk to motivate his game to the ultimate level while also using it to destroy his opponents on his end.

hmmm... how the hell did i get here

still enjoy MJ highlights over the current NBA

wtf you dont know how to set odds

some are born in an environment where success becomes inevitable because of hardship. some have the right blood flowing through their veins. we call them the chosen ones.

Sosa's odds. we dare you to bet against the chosen ones.

You can bet both sides and lock in a profit is the point guy.

Guy was all star with no jump shot only needs it to be half decent for him to get near super star level and is making a effort
