Jesus Christ. Just when you thought things couldn’t get more out of control leading into Thursday night’s game against the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers, Ben Simmons is in the replies on Instagram responding to Sixers-related posts about him being on the Nets’ bench tomorrow night.

Yes, Ben Simmons has now commented on a Barstool Philly post about him being on the bench Thursday night in South Philadelphia. There’s no way that this will help his upcoming grievance case to get back the $20 million he lost while refusing to play basketball. If I was Klutch Sports and Rich Paul, I wouldn’t be happy that Simmons is essentially taunting Philly fans on social media.

Ben Simmons on Instagram

I literally just got done writing an article about Kevin Durant’s stupid post game comments after tonight’s Brooklyn Nets game and how he thinks that people who come to NBA basketball games and heckle players have shitty lives (in relation to Ben Simmons and the game on Thursday), and now we have Simmons replying to comments on Instagram?

Then, shortly after, Pardon My Take drops a new episode featuring JJ Redick talking about how Ben Simmons shoots with the wrong hand and he tried to help him but Simmons refused?

Maybe Ben Simmons should just stop playing basketball and enter the content world. He’s an absolute machine and I think he has a better future just teasing the fact that he might play basketball again while investing in all the sports websites that cover him on a daily basis. If Ben Simmons wants to buy The Liberty Line, I would be all for it.

Seriously though Ben, please just give it a rest. What are you even doing looking at Barstool Philly posts about yourself. Haven’t you learned anything?

Not to mention, your comment doesn’t even make sense. What does “likewise” even mean? People are already booing you and you respond by saying “likewise”? You really do need to work on your ability to communicate with people. The last six months have been a total shit show and these recent comments prove that you’re not getting any better.

Who are you booing Ben? You literally refused to play basketball and sat in silence for six months until the 76ers finally traded you for James Harden who is a million times better than you at basketball.

On top of that, you’re not even playing basketball because apparently your back is sore. Now you’re getting all hyped up to come back and sit on the bench at the Wells Fargo Center?

Honestly, the entire thing is pretty pathetic. I might sound like your dad right now but I’m getting to the point where Ben Simmons just disappoints me. I can’t remember a bigger loser in professional sports than Ben Simmons and he continues to provide us example after example supporting that claim.

Thursday can’t come soon enough. Sixers fans please, boo so loud that the walls at the Wells Fargo Center tremble while Ben Simmons sits there on the bench like the pathetic loser he turned out to be.
