When Ben Simmons was a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, he was one of the best players in the game. He was an All-Star in three of his four seasons in Philadelphia, was a member of the All-NBA Third Team in 2020 and was named to the All-Defensive First Team twice.

Unfortunately, everything ended horribly. In the summer of 2021, Simmons requested a trade, which then led to an ugly holdout and many other problems with the star guard. The relationship between him and Joel Embiid ended when Simmons was traded to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden at the 2022 deadline.

Today, Simmons is a completely different player. Back injuries have robbed him of his athleticism and game-changing speed, and he is nowhere near the player he once was. As he continues his career, he appears to be a changed man.
