Ben Simmons good scorer bad defender arc would be the funniest outcome
Leads the Kings to the Finals scoring 35 ppg, 60/45/95 shooting splits. Game 7 of the Finals comes down to the last possession and Trae Young blows by Simmons for a game winning dunk.
Not even once in Dr. Strange’s 14 million timelines a Kings-Wizards Finals happens
Adam silver will personally call in a world ending disaster from the illuminati before letting a wizards-kings finals
Silver would have a stroke
Because that’s literally some Mickey Mouse Marvel bs. Luckily I don’t need to make you a believer; Ben Simmons will do that himself.
Fr though I’d eat a shoe if Ben scores more than 30 points a game ever again
Just like the 2k sims predicted way back when lol
As a Trae Young fan this genuinely made me lol
That Kings Lakers play in game will feed families
His defense has been good this game as well.
People don’t know the “Simmons DPOY” conversation was real in 2019-20. Old nickname back the Sixers days was The Benitentiary.
The original great barrier thief
The best guy I’ve ever seen defend Luka
He should have won it in 2021 but Rudy robbed him of it.
He was in 2nd in voting one year. Don’t remember which though
Man am I really getting old enough where most people don’t know that despite his offensive flaws his defense was always top tier?
That nickname got me flaccid af
He’d played like 6 mins when you typed this lol
But it would be funny if for some reason, he had 99 skill points, but they could only be in offense or defense.
We got the return of Ben Simmons before GTA 6
Maybe this is his Jordan baseball era in his fishing career
tbf we got gta 6 before gta 6
I think we need to see him play in a game that counts before proclaiming him back.
Imagine he just comes back and finally lives up to his potential lol. That would be such a bizarre career
The Ashleigh Barty
If Ben Simmons becomes the #1 player in the world for over 2 years I’ll fight a kangaroo
Remind me in 5 years
ben simmons makes an all star team this year and i’ll fight you and the kangaroo 1v2
More likely it will just be the Kyrgios
simmons returning to the league because he needed coke money almost makes too much sense
What if he gets the luckiest draw like Kyrgios did at Wimbledon, and somehow make the NBA Finals with all the teams he faces having injury plagues?
Ben Kings-leigh
Was the answer all along just go an entire summer without posting “Ben Simmons is back” practice footage?
but there was footage this summer
Or he need to take a sabbatical to go fishing haha
Would love to see that. Even seeing him get back to the level he was at before the back injuries would be awesome.
MVP season incoming
MVP pre-season
He’s still a PG who can’t shoot
That would almost unparalleled in strangeness.
It’s not the craziest thing we’ve seen. Jordan went to play in the minor leagues and came back for a 2nd 3 peat. Lol
how’s that even the same? jordan left while he was the best player in the league. simmons was forced out of the league cause no team wanted him.
4-d chess. He pretended to be afraid to shoot for over 5 years just to lull Draymond into playing lax defense in a preseason game.
And Draymond pretended… wait, what’s the reason for the other Kings defender on this clip to guard Dray like that but not cover Curry at all.
Know that he’s so good that there’s no point in wasting the effort to guard Curry
Multi-season conditioning of Draymond’s brain
My anti-work hero
Comrade Simmons reporting for duty
i want him to ball out until the kings sign him to a multiple year deal.
ben Simmons does normal shot in preseason game
Ben Simmons: we are so back
A normal shot for Ben is pretty much the equivalent of a half-court-falling-over-one-handed-behind-the-back shot for anyone else.
Bro he made another shot in a diff clip
But with the right hand just to keep the talking heads in business with saying that he shoots with the wrong hand.
Ben Simmons: ow my back
What if Ben Simmons finessed the entire league for 8 years playing the long game and now unleashes his potential
On the kings
Wait it’s full circle the Cowherd prophecy is finally happening. Ben played the long game. He finally overtakes the king as a Kings player. We all fell right into his trap. Nothing but pawns in Ben’s chess game.

Deshaun Watson
His master plan to play for the Kings finally worked out
What if he shows out this season to finesse the kings into another max contract.
I’d honestly respect his dedication to the long game
Sit by the pool-shark
Ben Simmons becoming a star for Sacramento would be so funny
Ben leading the Kings to a championship would bring world peace and nbacirclejerk would have to be deleted
Nice to see him moving well after 529 days away. The hook shot over Draymond looked pretty comfortable for a preseason game.
I’m all for a Ben Simmons arc redemption
well that was something
I honestly would like to see him do well, I’m not sure why i feel that way
Zion Williamson and Ben Simmons getting people talking about them is the ultimate preseason bait.
Right handed hook shot even though he’s apparently a lefty 🙄
Don’t tell koc. Or the Zach lowe. Can’t remember which
Both smug d bags
Koc so hateable but I like him
Oh man I forgot all about his fake left-handedness
my thoughts exactly
He’s naturally a righty though. He uses more of his right on hookshots/point blank shots. Thats why his shooting form is wack. He always shot with his off hand.
That was my point
Crazy it’s already Ben Simmons is back preseason highlights time of the year already
Every high light ive seen so far is in so much slow motion, no ones really moving yet lol.
When you say “takes on Draymond Green” I’m going to assume it’s a fight
Ben looks very slow.
Looks like he was expecting a switch
I always thought back then that when GSW was eventually about to lose KD, they should just trade KD along with Dray for Ben Simmons. Because I thought that Simmons was just Dray with a higher ceiling. Turns out there was another issue with Simmons’ mentality.
definitely top 20 podcaster that plays/played in the nba
Hope he kills it this season
I’m all for these comedic moments
my favorite player
Nice D on curry
Ben Simmons becoming a serviceable player again, let alone an all-star, would be the weirdest career arc ever.
He had 7 points
Knowing Draymond he probably told Ben to go at him
… and then goes under the screen guarding steph fucking curry 😭
“Ben Simmons is back” is certainly not something I’d like to hear if he’s on my team.
Easy work
Awesome replay of Steph after the title says Simmons.
Not convinced yet, show him a picture of Trae Young and old ben will return
Cliffus Jiggrin
Such a great use of the caption and body text fields :)
My GOAT
I wanna know who is sports psychologist is cause that guy is the man
That shot is so ugly
Not saying he’s the victim but playing on the same team with Embid and Butler takes a toll on your mental health if you’re week.
It’s so easy to just give up but being here after all the shit he’s been through, that’s already a win in my book. I wish him all the best.
Return of the King
“That f***ing marlin boomed me.” LeBron added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. He then said he wanted to add Ben to the list of players he fishes with this summer.
Those kings jerseys look so fucking good
Shoot a 3 already. This guy sucks
Noones gonna talk about him going under draymond screen to let Steph get a wide open 3? Wtf is Draymond gonna do in that action why tf are we not calling a switch or atleast going over the screen?
Ben Simmons the microwave scorer era?!?
fat fucking dray, good luck gs
Ben at least doesn’t carry every dribble
Are you serious? I counted 5 carries in the first 5 seconds.
For today’s standard, it was pretty good.
Ben Simmons with a made FG ??
