@stak5: Danny Green discusses the infamous moment when Ben Simmons passed up an open layup during the playoffs and how he was never the same after. The former Sixers guard reflects on witnessing that pivotal play that became a turning point. Green shares his perspective on how that one decision seemed to fundamentally change Simmons mentally and derailed what was once a promising career trajectory.

We never really talk about what Philly did to him though. Embiid threw him under the bus and so did Doc. Not to mention Tobias Harris was even worse in that playoff series. They helped ruin Bens career.

Imagine throwing away your whole career because your coach and organization said you need to get better in the offseason. 😭😭

Yes this was bad from Ben leading to his downfall. But the support Embiid and doc showed was so trash, never backed their boy up

Simmons back issues starting before he could get back on the court after being traded from the Sixers really ruined his image. That play was obviously horrendous, aswell as his playoff performance, but his back was what made him really fall off in the coming seasons, but because that all happened after this series, everyone just assumed it was 100% mental when he came back and wasn't his old self

So fultz was gonna be this insane star but tragically his body started shutting down on him, but I’ve never and I mean never seen someone with the skills of a Ben Simmons throw away his career like that. The man coulda easily been the face of the league. I’m honestly glad we have Luka and 👽 playing because they gonna be the next guys we look at when LBJ and Steph leave. Jokic already in his 30s so who knows how long he’s gonna want to play.
