The record for this month of September in the NBA, 3 weeks before the start of training camps, is that of Ben Simmons. The playmaker, on the list of players available for a few weeks, would have recently requested his transfer. He has been the target of criticism from fans of the franchise, and has clearly not received the support of his team, especially Doc Rivers and Ben Simmons, who have not hesitated to name him half-heartedly as one of the greats. responsible for the failure of the team against the Hawks. A series where he was in enormous difficulty. For Shaq, changing teams will not solve everything, the concern is elsewhere. Here is what he shared on the Rich Eisen Show.
“I’m going to come back to what my father told me. He had brought me to a game once, a horrible game, and on the way home he said, ‘If you get to that level, make sure you put on a good show. You have to do this. ‘ I never thought about it, but we do have to put on a good show. You have to put on a good show, work on your game. They just ask you to work on your game, nobody says you’re a bad guy. ‘ We just say that the process is over, we built this team to win titles. People in Philadelphia respect hard working people. You have to work on your game. I was there when he dribbled under the circle and didn’t want to dunk because he didn’t want to be fouled. I wasn’t a great free throw shooter, but you know what, I wasn’t going to stop being aggressive because I was afraid of missing free throws. We have to put on a good show, have to work on our game. So he has to decide, ‘do I really want to be a good player, or do I want to be one of the best?’ There are some people who just make $ 30 million, who are happy to date this actress, to ride in this car. But there are others who are there: ‘I want Rich Eisen to talk about me in his show as one of the greatest athletes.’ He has to make this decision, but I know he has received a lot of criticism, and the best are criticized, no one escapes it, but the criticism towards him is: ‘work on your game, take jump shots , go to the throw line and put it like you’re supposed to. ‘ That’s all, there is no parleying. The fact that he says he wants to be transferred, he also has to understand that if he doesn’t work on his game, and he probably does, I’m not going to take it out on him, but if you keep show what you showed in the playoffs, no matter which room you are going to play in, it will be the same result. So bumps on your game, you have to do this. Yeah people are tough in Philly, but that’s his sole responsibility. The people in Philly gave him enough of a chance. In Philadelphia, Boston, LA., Miami, you have to respond, you have to work hard, because people expect you to work hard. He’s been doing the same thing for 3-4 years and until then they had let it go. If he comes back to Philly, he’d better have a different game. ” Shaq
