2027 NBA Season

[tech30338]

Oh no!!!

Right after Ben Simmons appears to be making a legitimate NBA comeback… He has now torn his Achilles tendon and will be out for the season. That is what they’re suspecting after today’s practice. Horrible news. He’s definitely wishing he had stayed retired now.

That's really the type of story only sports would write. Guy becoming a joke, finally getting away from basketball and clearing his mind, trying to come back and actually looking kinda solid just to get a season ending injury in the preseason. I mean how unlucky can this be?
Honestly, I didn't expect him to have any kind of impact but you don't wanna see somebody going down like that, especially since he just found hos love for the game back (kinda). Obviously he is not coming back cause he needs the money or anything, he is set for life. But yeah, that's how it goes sometimes. I think we saw 3 players going down with the same injury during preseason. Maybe it's time to bring back hightops shoes. 

Hopefully, Ben is set for life or at least has the generational wealth under him so that he won't be poor just like some of the players that we have. Although I'm not aware of him gambling or going to Vegas as some old school NBA players with their posse and squandering lots of money in days.

As for the hightops, I don't know if it can help, although it could lessen to some extend this kind of injuries as I'm not aware around 80's-90's about the prevalent cases of NBA players getting achilles injuries as almost all of them have worn hightops shoes, Converse, Adidas and later Nike and Jordan's (although some of the models like 3's and 4's are lowtop).

I think he is an intelligent person so he may have acquire assets and business investment so that he will have a secured future even without playing, but he could have earn more in his career if he had not have issues emotionally and with injuries, I think he also have still got something to offer for his basketball career he maybe just need a person to turn that switch on, to make everything he have dream come back into his senses, why he had not reach out to the likes of lebron james and others so that he will be guided.

Well, it's worth noting that not all NBA players are financially savvy. There have been several cases of players squandering millions of dollars in just a few years and ending up in financial trouble. So, in Simmons' case, I wouldn't be so sure he's set for life.

If he lives frugally, just like a regular employee, he is set for life. Even after taxes, agent fees, and other expenses, his take-home pay is still a lot of money.

A regular employee couldn't even earn that much in their entire lifetime, yet they still manage to survive. But if he lives lavishly, then that amount might not be enough, considering he's only 30 years old. However, if he manages his money well, he really could be set for life, with enough to provide for his future children and even his grandchildren.

How about these shoes?

That is hella funny. Lol. Kidding aside, maybe the shoe design is partly to blame, but it's definitely not the only factor.

[terrific]

I feel bad for these two guys, Dalton Knecht[1] and Kevin Porter Jr[2]. Both have been waived by their respective teams, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks.
While Bronny stays with the team, this guy lacks playing time and if he's going to a good team.
I think that he can be one of the future stars.

[1] Lakers make final roster decision, waive Dalton Knecht as Bronny stays
[2] Report: Bucks waive Kevin Porter Jr.

Dalton Knecht was a pretty huge bust. They thought he’d come in and fill a role but he never did anything to disappoint. They tried to toss him in every trade and even tried giving him away. In the end, they had to cut him. I’m not sure he’ll get another shot in the league. He was great in college but it didn’t translate.

I agree, I thought that he'll make his career with the Lakers but it seems the team has got a lot of stars that they are not willing to let go but him.
I'm still looking forward to a team that will give him some time so that he can play as he can be.
If not, there are a lot of other local leagues that they can go if no team is going to take him. There's CBS, GBL, KBL, B League and others.
But I think they're getting better pay if a CBS team offers them to play to.

I think he is just inconsistent but the guy could really deliver, I have seen many of his highlights and his outside shots were lethal. okay given that he does not give his best, but choosing Bronny over him, that's insane. now this tells us there are really politics in the NBA.

The Lakers didn't want to piss off his daddy.

Tearing your Achilles the same day your comeback documentary drops is the worst luck ever…

Last weekend with no NBA basketball is behind us. Time to fire up those Peacock subscriptions and get ready for some basketball! I’ll be watching that 76ers game for sure.

That is a very devastating situation anyone can find themselves, especially being out for quite sometime, but I expect him to pick up himself, and he’ll definitely come back stronger.

Yay! The new season is here with us again, and I can’t wait to watch my team San Antonio Spurs in the dog out against Oklahoma City Thunders, it promises to a very interesting game, considering the quality of the teams involved, oh how I have missed watching Wemby.
