This beef requires us to remember who Ben Simmons was at the start of his career. So let’s allow our minds to travel back to the late 20teens, when we were young and hopeful and had more energy and my dog was still alive, and Ben Simmons was considered the second coming of Magic Johnson. He was 6’10” but moved and ran and drove and passed like a point guard. Sure, he didn’t really shoot, but we didn’t worry, there was so much he could do!
Jared Dudley also didn’t worry. Why worry, the guy who couldn’t/wouldn’t shoot was his defensive assignment in the 2019 playoffs. Instead of worrying, Dudley simply told everyone that, actually, Ben Simmons was not the second coming of Magic Johnson, he was average in the half court.
Beef ensued. Enjoy.

Once he lost his quickness, probably due to injuries or back problems, he should have put on 20 pounds of muscle and worked on a post game, because no one cares if a Power Forward cannot shoot.
I don’t know. The average NBA player wants to shoot the ball.
What a nothing burger. Unreal.
How is this beef. What, one playoff series of trash talk…
Dudley looks like Elmer Fudd effed Carmelo Anthony.
This gotta be the corniest video I ever watched. But very interesting
No one won this one. Dudley couldn't play but Simmons collapsed. Both are bums.
Proof that passing is overrated. Only his passing abilities were revered, not scoring
Dudley broke Simmons
Ben Simmons is a shot away from being back into all star talks.
Can’t find tha recpe for the soup ?
It’s like QBs tall & arm Marino lol… SF tall, fast & handles Magic lol 😆Get paid millions to not filter anything.
Not everyone learns the same Dudley. Sure its fun to pick on the guy everyone else does but mental health isn't a joke. With that being said, Ben Simmons revenge tour coming up
I still think Ben Simmons is pretty good. Just have to know how to use him
I went to Jared Dudley’s basketball camp when he was on the suns good guy used to be friends with him on Xbox
Howard Eskin was right about Simmons too
Ben Simmons with Jared Dudley's mentality is a first ballot hall of famer
bro knows a role player when he sees one. having no jumpshot is like showing up to a gun fight without ammo. the theoretical championship is somehow running up to the guy with the loaded gun and disarming him. chances are it aint gonna happen. simmons will not grow and flesh out as a star until he shoots the ball.
If something happens to Nancy Cartwright, we can all sleep well at night knowing we have the narrator as a backup voice.
That's why he's the Goat
Simmons should've realised being good & being right aren't mutually exclusive. Then maybe he would've taken a look in the mirror for something other than his sideline outfit. Also Dudley may not be the greatest relative to other NBA players but to the rest of the world he is top of less than 1% in his craft. So yeah he probably saw something that lead to his comments it wasn't trolling (in the beginning)
Dudley stood by what he said all series though
I’m always crossing my fingers in regards to a new SECRET BASE video. Can the host please be Claire? PLEASE! She happens to be brilliant.
Right now there is no YouTube channel that I enjoy to view more than Secret Base. Everything in their videos are factual with a nice mix of satire. Keep up that great work!!
