Since being traded to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden, Australian play-maker Ben Simmon hasn’t represented his new franchise at all. Although there have been numerous clips of him playing, being shared by the team’s official social media team, yet he has not been able to make his presence felt on the court. Which has now finally triggered Stephen A. Smith.

Since Brooklyn Nets solved all their voids by trading Harden for 3 significant players from Sixers. Yet one of the main players hasn’t made a single appearance in the 2021-22 season. Now with Brooklyn Nets struggling on the defensive end, Smith feels Ben Simmons has to prove his worth by stepping on the floor against all odds.

On the latest episode of First Take, Stephen A. Smith suggested that Nets should take a different approach for Ben Simmons and his salary. He said, “I don’t want to hear anything about this dude that’s just stealing money, whatever amount of money he’s getting, whatever grievance he’s filled, just stealing money, getting paid for doing absolutely positively nothing.

“To put it in perspective, Doggy and myself have played just as minutes as Ben Simmons this entire season. That’s unacceptable.”

Smith implored the Brooklyn Nets to stop coddling Ben Simmons. He thinks Simmons should get back on the floor and contribute whatever he’s able to. Smith said, “If Ben Simmons can give you 15 to 20 minutes playing defense, don’t shoot the basketball, just give you 15 minutes to 20 minutes of defense, that’s good enough for me because they have enough offense with Kyrie (Irving) and KD (Kevin Durant).” 

Will we witness the Australian defender finally stepping up for Nets as they struggle against the Boston Celtics in the first-round series? Well, surely Game 2 shoulder unravel all answers. So, which team among these two spoken off will reign superior? Remains to be seen.
