Ben Simmons wants to work with Magic Johnson this offseason, talk

[k0kakw0rld]

LeBron traded Westbrook for Ben Simmons :confusedshrug:

With all the people asking him to come work with him, he chooses magic?

Niqqa you already do more than half of things Magic was doing. Go get yourself a jump shot, my guy. :wtf:

Go get T-Mac, instead :facepalm

Well, as long as Simmons isn't asking for GM help, it should be fine.

Yes I'm sure Magic, King Captain Obvious, will really help him. Just go look at his Twitter page from before he became Lakers brass.

I imagine he wants to pick his brain. He can still work on a jumper while learning some stuff from Magic as well. Shows how serious this guy is about the game.

[Celtics 1825]

The secret is to learn how to fvcking shoot.

OP bitching about a PG seeking mentorship from the GOAT PG?

Nothing wrong with that. It's not like Simmons' agent is Rich Paul. :facepalm

Magic Johnson 89/90 MVP: 3.5 3pa on 38.4% shooting.


Being 'similiar' to Magic doesn't mean he's Magic.

Simmons is a sub 60% foul shooter. When your primary ball handler is a lousy foul shooter that is a big problem. Hack-a-Simmons could easily become a thing in the playoffs.

If a guy can't make foul shots it is pretty unlikely that he will be a competent jump shooter. Off the top of my head Bruce Bowen is the only guy I can think of who couldn't shoot foul shots but could make 3s.

Rondo too

Why are you so relentless at being a f@ggot? Don't you get tired of it?

This years rondo. Shooting 42% on 2.3 3PA but just 59% from the line. :eek:

This is true. More often than not when a guy is as poor of a free throw shooter as Simmons is, they will not/cannot develop a jump shot. FT shooting is actually a pretty good metric to see how good of a natural shooter someone is.
