  1. This is the problem… practice ACTUAL jump shots!! You not gonna consistently hit contested spinning fadeaways if you can’t hit a normal open jump shot!! It’s not that complicated but these slow ass players and slow ass trainers can’t seem to figure it out…..

  2. He makes his shots in practice then shoots like shit in the game.

    So if he misses his shots in practice then in game he… 🤔

  3. If he literally just concentrated on hitting free throws for the last 5 years instead of this dumb shit he might actually be able to hit a few of these by now

  4. It will always irritate me how his body orientation is for a right handed shooter but then he uses his left hand to shoot. It makes his form look so un natural.

  5. I sincerely don’t understand how you can achieve this level without being able to shoot a simple jump shot. This goes for guys like Gobert too. Like, I understand they’re massive and top 1% of the top 1% in terms of athleticism, but it just feels disrespectful to the game. Like a jump shot/ shooting form is literally one of the first things they teach you. Like how can you be in the NBA for YEARS and not have a basic, go-to jumper?

  6. Me trying to write my own shitty Husker Du songs instead of practicing scales on my guitar every night 

  7. I haven’t played in years, yet think i would have made at least one.
    Where’s my 200 mill contract?

  8. It’s absolutely insane to me that I may actually be a significantly better shooter than an NBA player.

  9. wtf is he even practicing? bro practice a normal jump shot before doing this. we all know he isn’t gonna do this in a game

  10. I think at this point they’re not gauging his accuracy but his confidence to attempt a shot. So he’s 8/8.

  11. How has he still not attempted a 3 this season. Is he really trolling when he posts all the offseason videos just to be the same player every year

  12. I say this as an Australian who defended Simmons for years. Right now he is an embarrassment to basketball. He is an embarrassment to his country and he is an embarrassment to himself. There is absolutely no reason why he should be this bad at shooting a basketball, the guy is literally putting up uncontested jump shots in a practice environment from *inside* the free throw line *and missing every damn one of them.* Actually, I lied…there is a reason why he is this bad….because he simply refuses to get better. He has been told his whole life that he doesn’t need to be a good shooter to be good at basketball. Hell, Doc Rivers told us all he didn’t need to shoot to be elite. The NBA gave him multiple All Stars, All Defense & an All NBA award. He uses that as evidence that he doesn’t need to shoot, he has said so in interviews many times. He has a deluded concept in his mind, drummed into him by multiple idiots over his life, that he is an elite player who does not need to shoot. The biggest idiot of them all is his father who convinced him he should shoot left handed…as a right handed player! But the last few years have shown that he absolutely does need to be at least semi competent as a shooter in today’s NBA otherwise he is a complete liability, which nowadays he is, especially in the post season. All of this would be OK if he were a second round pick earning $5m a season but he’s not, the dude is earning $40m to put up a triple single every night, barely even looking at the basket because if he can’t even make uncontested jump shots from 12ft, how the hell is he going to do it with a defender in his grill? Right now his career is like a lame dog that needs to be put down to end its suffering.

  13. I’ve clowned on Ben for years at this point, recently I feel bad about it since the dude can’t seem to catch a break. I’m not gonna lie though, this shit’s hilarious

  14. This is actually insanely bad for an NBA player. This would be bad for some dude in the LA fitness.

    There are guys like Dwight, Shaq, Gobert who don’t ever shoot in games that can easily hit 80% of these shots in practice and warmups.
