Philadelphia fans would have exploded, and a dunker would have had more confidence to do what he physically is capable of. How could a player with so many gifts above league athleticism not do what every player growing up wants to do in the biggest moments? That dunk would have tied the score in a Game 7 at home. the Dallas Mavericks, yet nothing changed with LeBron even though the criticism with LeBron did it? It honestly reminded me of those fourth quarters where the nation came down vicerably on LeBron James vs. I'm just a Dad, and the shook look on Ben Simmons' face was straight up alarming. It was so pronounced even more so than everyone has stated from fans, to coaches, to punditry. Often, it was done regardless of who guarded the rim. There was a more pronounced "drive to the center and dish it back out", as is his modus operandi. Then 34% from the line, good for the worst all time in the playoffs, with 70 attempts the cutoff happened.

His mannerisms at the end of the season, going to the line in those instances, seemed more confident. I thought he was over the hack-a-ben thing. Since we're having a conversation of sorts, what is this off-the-court stuff with his family swirling since April? Despite past playoff failures, if that's what you want to call player development, it appears these past playoffs, offensively Ben Simmons, fell off a cliff. I could go with that if this is all a basketball thing. Should he wear that on his 25 year old back, so if a success story becomes of this, the process growing out of the criticism truly becomes constructive? If the Sixers are not trading Ben Simmons, why shop him so high and allow him to take the hottest heat fired up in Philly and expand across the globe? Why hasn't he been traded? Trade demands from the Sixers were as exorbitant as in recent memory.
