“People make comments saying I’m robbing. No. When I got that contract, I was playing at a super high level. Unfortunately, I had injuries. But for somebody to say that, it’s disrespectful. [But] people can say what they want to say. They’ve got to live with it. At the end of the day it all catches up with you.”

    What he’s saying is that losers who spend all day hating on athletes will get what’s coming to them - i.e. they’ll continue to be broke losers instead of doing something productive with their lives

      What athlete ? The article talks about Ben Simmons.

      Haha Ben Simmons is pretty bad man. Hasn’t been a decent player for some time. All these 24/7 haters, haha that’s the biggest myth ever. This sort of discourse is what keeps him relevant in the public eye, and he likes it for that reason. Social media is endless so he is going to get trashed for having a huge contract and not producing.

      And it’s on him for not developing a jumper. Hopefully he’s been working on that while recovering from his injuries. Most likely, he’s just coasting on his contract and will continue to be washed.

      Instead of making tick tok videos about all the haters, he could show some improvement on the court and totally flip the narrative. Haha, I’m not optimistic but totally down for the redemption arc if is he has any back/heart left.

      You don’t need to be a loser or broke to make fun of Ben Simmons.

      And even if you are both of those things, you still can lol.

      I suppose we are broke in comparison to him, but it’s all relative. He’s one of the biggest jokes in his chosen profession, millionaire or not.

      And besides, he wouldn’t make these comments if it didn’t seriously bother him so if we really are just losers, why does he care lol

      I disagree on principle with the idea that someone has to be a broke loser who spends all day hating on athletes to make fun of Ben Simmons.

      This is patently false- see “Shaquille O’Neal” for further details.
