Ben Maller: “Can we really call him a ‘basketball player?’ If you’re a basketball player and you don’t play basketball are you still a basketball player? Don’t you have to call him something else? The question is, are people being too hard on Ben Simmons and too mean? I’m shaking my head ‘NO’ on this. He deserves it. Who are the people even defending Ben Simmons? Sports hate is perfectly allowed. For a sports hate perspective, the shenanigans that Ben Simmons pulled off is indefensible. Ben Simmons is the personification of the ‘spoiled brat’ and the idea that people are defending him blows my mind. He’s using ‘mental health’ as a trump card and cheapening legitimate mental health.” (Full Rant Above)
