Ben Simmons (NBA and Playoffs thread)
This guy is absolutely copping it.
I dont think I've ever seen an individual cop the heat so much in a team sport in all my life.
Shaq went as fas as to say he would physically hurt him in the locker room if they were teammates. And there's been a hell of a lot of comments made in the NBA media and on social media too. There were even people burning his jerseys out in the streets.
And now, less that one day after losing a game 7 in the NBA playoffs, it seems that he's pulled out of the Olympic squad.
What do we make of this?
Personally, I'd like to see him suit up for the Boomers. But I have no doubt he'll be traded by the 76ers.

Ben Simmons is holding Sixers hostage. It could change the NBA forever and spark an ugly ‘epidemic’

All this for a player who hasn't really established himself at the top level and got stage fright in the playoffs.

But stupid of him not playing for Oz. If NBA fans hate you, why alienate Oz too?
