Strongbad, I don’t doubt that Simmons has mental issues now but they weren’t there prior to his athletic ability. He’s an athlete who gets paid, not a

professional athlete. Those guys seek to maximize their craft and handle business to the best of their ability.

He’s been a lazy skilled player all along. He couldn’t get LSU to the tourney in the SEC (before they got some other non-Kentucky teams). He doesn’t put in the effort to improve.

Philly made the mistake of paying him and then expecting him to change. Never going to happen when a kid has never been held accountable. If you aren’t driven to maximize your skills just starting out, you aren’t going to do it with 40mil a year in the bank.

As soon as he got held to account by fans, he revealed his exact character…a whiny mentally weak lazy man-child. That’s not mental illness. That’s mental strain brought on by character weakness imo.
