People of Philly just wanna have something to say about fu**ing anything – Ben Simmons clarifies that he never hated Philadelphia says it is completely different from playing in Brooklyn By
Itiel Estudillo Modified 22 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Brooklyn Nets v Boston Celtics - Game One Ben Simmons recently appeared on JJ Redick's podcast, The Old Man & the Three where they talked about their time in Philadelphia. Both Simmons and Redick acknowledged that playing for the 76ers was tough because of how rowdy Philly fans can get. For the most part, it was Ben Simmons who was always on the receiving end of the fans' criticism.

I post a picture of a fu**ing car or a dog and I got reports saying 'you should be in a fu**ing gym.'" Despite what Philly fans think of Simmons now, he still perceives his experience to be a pleasant one. In fact, he still considers himself a Sixer. He mentioned he learnt and grew as a basketball player with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Simmons was a reliable player on both ends of the floor. He had a nearly complete game, just missing a 3-point shot in his arsenal. Eventually, injuries started to become a problem for the young superstar.

Simmons had to sit out games, however, he took his time off very differently compared to most NBA players. Simmons would skip practices and people would spot him doing other things aside from basketball. This is when Philly fans' relationship with him began to crumble.
