Ben Simmons recently did an interview with Australian reporter Brad Blanks and he had this to say about his leadership performance: “I think being a leader is one of those things where you can lead in many different ways. I think, for me, I try to lead by example. I’ve had the opportunity now to go into this team (the Nets) and do that. So, I’ve been blessed with that opportunity and I think I’ve been a great leader so far.”

🚨🚨 New Words 🚨🚨
The offensive viability of a Ben Simmons-Nic Claxton pairing remains the Nets’ top question mark ahead of opening night.
Despite this, Brooklyn is adamant the duo can be a positive. Jacque Vaughn explained to me why. Full story: clutchpoints.com/nets-news-why-… – 9:05 AM

Ben Simmons was an All-Star three times before his 25th birthday. Only three players have been shut out of the All-Star Game for the rest of their career after earning three such selections. What happened to those three?

More on this storyline
Ben Simmons has claimed ahead of the Nets’ regular season that he will be “better” than his former All-Star self. The Nets are starting to see progress. On Saturday, Lonnie Walker IV said Simmons has been getting back to his old form, doing “a lot of things he hasn’t done in the last two years.” “His offensive side is going to come, but his defensive energy has been amazing.” Walker added. “His ability to pass is one of the best attributes in my opinion. He sees the floor. He sees everybody and it can be very dangerous to stop what he does.” -via New York Post / October 22, 2023
“I was pushing through that, so I’m not really worried about the slander,” Simmons said. “Obviously, it gets frustrating when you’ve got to listen to it all the time, when you’re not able to play your best and you’re playing injured. That’s part of it. “At the same time, I’m one of those guys who wants to come out and perform and show I can do what I love to do at a high level. So I’m enjoying just being out here, putting on the show and trying to get better with these guys.” -via New York Post / October 20, 2023
Simmons sat down with The Post and said he’s not going to be as good as he was when he made three straight All-Star Games. He insists he can be better. “I’m going to be better than I was,” Simmons said. “My job is just to show up, perform, work my ass off and lead this team the right way. So it’s doing all the little things, and everything else takes care of itself.” -via New York Post / October 20, 2023
