Ben Simmons suffered the unspeakable to get the transfer that took him out of the Philadelphia 76ers and sent him a chance to start over with whats Brooklyn Nets. His first season after all the physical and mental problems that affected him during his long battle to get out of Philly and also afterwards ended with a very modest performance and a decaffeinated version of that point guard who had the foundations to mark an era. .
After a summer in which he has foregone the World Cup with Australia to optimize his preparation, Simmons says he now sits at the 100% and that he faces the next course with the Nets with the intention of “dominate” opponents. In an interview with Andscape, the player acknowledges that his departure from the Sixers “came at a good time.”
Despite the sour goodbye from his previous home, Simmons himself warned that he feels a lot of affection for his people and fans. “People ask me, ‘if you were pierced again where would you want to go?’ I always tell them ‘Only Philadelphia. Philadelphia is my home.’ I have nothing to say about Philly. It was a crazy situation at the end, but it is what it is,” says the 27-year-old point guard.
In his first year at Brooklyn, Simmons averaged 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game in 42 appearances for the Nets, numbers far removed from their double-digit scoring in their previous four seasons with the Sixers. “I don’t think I’ll be that same player from last year again, because It’s nowhere near my true level,” secure now.
His goal is to have a good time on the pitch again, do what he likes best and little else. Sometimes, he reflects on everything he has lived and his conclusion is: “How worse can it be?”
