76ers-Hawks: That was probably the worst choke job I've ever seen from one individual player in the 4th quarter. I genuinely feel like the Sixers could have dragged my fat ass out there for 5 minutes in the 4th quarter and I would've given them more than Ben Simmons did. What a freaking disgrace. He has had 4 seasons to try to improve his shooting and become a somewhat decent scorer outside of 10 feet and he has not gotten any better than from when he was drafted! If anything, he's gotten worse! Simply inexcusable! This goes far beyond just a bad shooting form. It's mental! He just does not want to shoot the basketball. He shits his pants just at the mere thought of pulling up from 3 in the 4th quarter during a close game. How else do you explain passing up a WIDE OPEN DUNK UNDERNEATH THE BASKET that would have tied the game?!?!? Just look at Embiid's reaction after the foul. Body language can tell you more than words can and his body language was saying "What the hell are you doing, Ben?! Just lay the fucking ball up!" If the 76ers truly want to be have a serious shot at winning a championship, they need to get Simmons the fuck out of there. I'd look into possibly trading him as part of a package to Portland for Damian Lillard. Hell, even CJ McCollum might do. SOMETHING. Or make him bulk up and move him to Forward, because if he's your starting PG, you're not winning a championship.

Don't just look at Embiid's reaction either, look at the way he's moving back up the court:

This man is playing with his knee half-attatched, putting his body on the line to try and push their team forward, and all Ben Simmons can offer is 'I am who I am, it is what it is'. Imagine being in the league for several years, getting paid millions upon millions, and that's your attitude towards criticism. Absolute joker.
