nah. I did a search on twitter with his name and these were some of the videos that came up. Sometimes a picture (or a video in this case) says more than 1000 words... You can cite stats showing someone TO the ball too much, or having bad defense, but seeing it on video is something else. I still wish him well, but goddamn, there are things I don't miss about him.

those vids were pretty turrible man. Seems like the honeymoon is over. Want to see how he performs with the pressure of being expected to produce...

I still would have liked him back, especially for the same or similar amount of money he got, but now I think I'm going to conclude that it's not a Stephen Jackson situation like in 2003 where I was still mad about letting him walk for years after he left.

How can someone play winning basketball on a losing team? Lmfao! It doesn't make sense... Coming off the bench at that! Come on now... Someone should play winning basketball on a losing team that has a horrible bench?

Why wasn't he playing losing basketball when he was here? Could it be we had a better team with a better bench? Nah! Who cares about logic?

Your reputation is only as good as ur team... Right now Chris Paul is empty stats... If he played for the spurs and started contending, he would be viewed different... Same player, different views...

Odom had the same reputation of being empty stats... A waste of talent etc..... U till he won two rings... T Mac would have had a MUCH better career if he switched places with Kobe... But he played on teams where Jacque Vaughn was his teammate... And his second best player was Mike Miller... So of COURSE he lost! So now he has the reputation of being an empty stat loser

Kyle’s been winning games man.

JSimms is playing starter level minutes for a team in a 9 game losing streak. It's a team sport but he can't blame 9 straight losses on everyone else when he's a major part of that team. Shows how bad of a fan you really are, that you are touting this guy here like he's a basketball god and don't mention he started last game and they lost by 21 points. Coach Vogel said he's going to stay in the starter lineup. That is the opportunity JSimms has wanted for his career.

If he helps his team out of that losing streak (which I expect at some point soon bc it's ridiculous to be losing this many games in a row when they aren't openly tanking), and helps turn their season around, you can bring that up then, but propping up a dude putting up empty stats in a team in a 9 game losing streak is not a good take.

You do realize that Simmons had even worse advanced metrics while he was on the Spurs, right? That's why PATFO let him go. So you should take a different approach than this whole "he's playing on a bad team" thing.

I'd take simmons vs warriors over fathead.

They dont get it...they will...they blame simmons for the magic losing streak...could u imagine fathead on the magic bench?? Lmfao!

Lebron wanted... larry hughes, delonte west, and a whole boatload of other bums

Simmons to me is a poor man's Jason Richardson. Ironically Jason played for the Magic at one point of time in his career.

Arguing Simmons or Anderson, it's like arguing Tyler Perry movie vs Steven Seagal movie.

I mean there's no point since he's in another team... Simmons is one of those endless topics like Scola that will still pop up from time to time.

He has been ok, he is having a better scoring season than last year bc he plays more minutes and takes more shots but so far that is it.

Only difference being that Scola was a pretty good NBA player, borderline all-star a couple of seasons. While Simmons is a mediocre player that can't even be a net positive when playing his best :lol

18 against the Dubs yesterday.

but, aye, Kyle's been winning games man (riding Aldridge's pine)

SADude has a weird fucking obsession with players he hates (Simmons & Joff).... we get it son, one took Fathead's minutes and the other you want out of the rotation so when Kawhi comes back, the head can be the backup 4. Stick that agenda where the sun dont shine

Lol net. Both played different roles. Gay is an upgrade over simmons.

Luckily he's not married.... though he has 5 kids.

5? I thought he only had 3. Are they all to the same woman?
