All you assholes bashing Simmons, and his stats are rounded off at 17 ppg, 9 reb and 8 assists. Almost AVERAGING a Triple Double!! Idiots

km•71 months

Don’t care about his states now. Cared about them when I payed to go see him and he dogged it. Four different games

Look at all the hate on this post. I hope all future HS prospects and current players will come and take a look at this shite you "keyboard warriors" are posting.

Dude sucks.. costs his team games all the fricking time. And now he gets paid for it

otowntiger•71 months

Wow! That is crazy money. Good for him- but that really is insane. He makes more in one day than I do in a whole year.

Compared to what actors make from one movie it’s change.

Jesus Christ...all that $$$ for a guy who can't shoot worth a lick. If I was black and a foot taller, that could be me...

luismlg•71 months

No, it would not. Ever.

BigTimer23•71 months

Jesus Christ is right... Jesus Christ you are such an incredible moron of epic proportions...

Hammond Tiger Fan•71 months

If that was the only prerequisite, then where's my $168 million?

EveryoneGetsATrophy•71 months

He was never truly a tiger.

BowDownToLSU•71 months

Truth

TigerFanFromBama•71 months

I'm sure it really bothers him that you feel that way.

Sir Cunteo Longcock•71 months

He played at LSU did he not? That makes him a Tiger

DrSteveBrule•71 months

Talent is so bad in the NBA that you just straight up make bank if you're serviceable

Shiftyplus1•71 months

He's a bit better than "serviceable".

Rabbs and QStick•71 months

Talent in the NBA is actually at an all time high.

Fightin Okra•71 months

Ridiculous money they are making in NBA

Datbayoubengal•71 months

Yeah Lillard's contract was ridiculous. 49 million a year for 4 years.

187undercover•71 months

Wow, Philly giving the bank without a demand to improve his offense. Hey sir, i cant sell worth shite, but im good, not grat, at everything else. How about that max raise? Only in sports.

CelticDog•71 months

Does he have to learn how to shoot?

DVinBR•71 months

who?

Steve Janowski•71 months

I wonder if he will put some of that 168 to the basketball facilities at LSU?

YStar•71 months

Why should he? Half of you are insulting him, while the other half say he was not a Tiger.

atltiger6487•71 months

he only came here because his godfather was on staff and he left as soon as he could. And when he left, he tweeted out some "love" for the "gold and purple." I am not kidding about that. Pathetic.

Sir Cunteo Longcock•71 months

Atltiger.... you sound like a kid.

I don’t care what anyone says, if you can choose between football and basketball and you choose football, you’re a fool.

Hangit•71 months

And he owes it all to the fine coaching he got from JJ.
