The list of people who have a problem with Ben Simmons of the Brooklyn Nets only seems to grow longer and longer.
On the latest episode of “The OGs Show”, former player Nate Robinson talked about Simmons and how he seemingly doesn’t want to play basketball despite being paid a lot of money.
Robinson said that when he was in the league, he was already prepared to get on the court and try his hardest.
He didn’t care who he was playing against, he was going to fight as hard as possible.
Therefore, he is confused seeing Simmons sitting on the bench when such a golden opportunity is before him.

Simmons has only played in 57 games for the Nets during his two seasons with the team.
He has missed so many games because of injuries, although some people cast doubt on that claim.
Even when he has been seemingly healthy, Simmons hasn’t played like his old self and looks like a shadow of the Rookie of the Year player he was back in 2018.
To many, it’s because Simmons has lost his desire to play and no longer believes in himself.
But Robinson pointed out that Simmons is being paid millions of dollars and needs to do his best to make an impact for his team.
Simmons is reportedly healthy and looking better than he has in years, which means he should be prepared to play when the season kicks off in a few weeks.
However, Nets fans have heard this all before so they aren’t holding their breath.
Will Simmons be healthy and will he play with fire and drive again like Robinson hopes?
