Podcast appearances and mentions of Ben Simmons

Send JD a text message and be heard!POOR POOR JAZZZZZZ.  I get it was a bad call on @jazzchisholmfdn and fine with him arguing but then tweeting and deleting after the game?  More important for him to play in the @yankees games than getting ejected.  12-7 on four game win streak.  Same record as @mets but the @juansoto_25 anger is ridiculous.   @thejudge44 had a slow start last year.   19 games doesn't make an #mlb season.  @companyadjace @thomaswdonovan @robparker1980 @call_me_tca_prez @donna.fender @kevdu_theman @brianbarnaby @_uly2308_ & @cpd94_mk always has to be NYY & NYM talk and does one ring for Soto make the fifteen year contract a success?  Had the @cubs 13-11 win over @dbacks on during #podcast which was 2-1 going into 7.  Cubs #grandslam makes it 7-1 going into 8th.  Dbacks score 10 in top of 8th and Cubs come back with 6 to make it 13-11 and the comeback win. #wrigleyfield always expect the unexpected.  #mlbsteroidera & @nyknicks #nbaplayoffs if series with @detroitpistons goes 7 games would take two weeks.  I know it's all about the dinero but still.  #loadmanagement & @bensimmons an #nba player who never did enough to become the player that warranted the #1 pick. #brycejames to @arizonambb is all because of his last name.  He's no @bronny and that's not saying much.  @aaronrodgers12 he needs football more than it needs him. @steelers fans & #miketomlin don't see this as a good connection. #sportstrivia at the finish. All sports. One podcast. (even hockey) PODCAST LINK ON ITUNES: http://bit.ly/JDTSPODCAST

The Word of the Day is Failure (0:00-7:56) Tyrone believes The Process with Sam Hinkie was a failure. The Sixers are no closer to an NBA championship now than they were almost a decade ago with Hinkie as GM. We as fans were led astray. (8:02 -15:50 ) We pay “Hoosiers” Actor Gene Hackman our respects. Tyrone is not a fan of Hoosiers. The Twitter poll for today asks: “Was the Process a failure?” 89% said Yes and 11% said No. The Sixers have had success, just not enough. (16:00-27:50) Tyrone and Ricky talk PG dropping 25 points last night in MSG. Maxey had lots of energy. Does the team deserve our cheer and applause? Ricky is bothered that Paul George finally decides to take things seriously with only 6 weeks left in the regular season. Tyrone calls for the removal of the Sam Hinkie jersey from Xfinity Live. (28:00-37:05) Ben Simmons was supposed to be the next LeBron James. Tyrone, Ricky and Sylvana recall more of Hinkie and his countless draft mistakes.

The guys also talk about what we've learned about the rotation without Norman Powell, and how Bogi and Ben Simmons look together. How does Kawhi look? Who loses minutes? The Lakers await.

Awesome day of NBA hoops today, with an All-Aussie affair in a weirdly thrilling Clippers-Bulls game, the UNSTOPPABLE PISTONS rolled the CELTICS (!!!!) and SHAEDON SHARPE KILLED A DUDE (sorta).

Rob and Shap are joined by the hardest working man in Clipper media, Adam Ausland (@followAdamA) to talk about wins the Clippers had over the Grizzlies and Jazz, as well as the very impressive debut of Ben Simmons. The guys hand out medals and then zoom out to how Simmons and Bogdan Bogdanovic will affect this Clipper rotation that features nothing but good players.

After an OT thriller over the Jazz, Clippers take a three game win streak into the much needed break. What do they need to do in order to come out strong? How will the latest additions of Ben Simmons and Bogdan Bogdanović help the team moving forward?

JR opened up the final hour of the show by discussing some of the biggest stories of the day, including Marcus Stroman pushing back on the idea of him being moved to the bullpen before taking calls on the best jokes of the night. JR then discusses the finality of Steph Curry's career before highlight Ben Simmons contributing to winning basketball. JR ends the show with, "This Day In Sports History."

We open the bonus show this week by talking about Joel Embiid, and the possibility of him needing yet another knee surgery. Rob feels like he did himself a disservice by playing in the Olympics and that the Sixers need to work with their doctors instead of his to try and get him back on the floor. Plus a listener wants to know if we’re sleeping on the Trail Blazers, who are still a young team and not that good yet, but Rob feels like they have a lot of upside.   Rob also defends his stance that the Lakers need to take the ball OUT of AR’s hands, after he had a monster night against the Pacers, but Rob says its because he just holds the ball too long and takes too many shots when he needs to spread it around more. Harper also thinks that Lakers need to work more on building around a big and less on the shooting guards that have been dominating the game. And listeners want to know Rob’s opinion on a player like Bradley Beal going back to the Wizards (even though they are not good) to be the big dog on the floor as opposed to getting limited time on a team that should be better.   Lastly, as Ben Simmons leaves the Nets, we ask Rob what team is immediately better if a player leaves town. And on Valentine’s Day, we ask all the guys about their top three candy bars and of course a huge debate breaks out.

The Clippers came back against the Jazz, hell yeah! Ben Simmons looked GREAT in his debut, and there are reasons to be hyped, so let's get hyped! 

2/13/25 Clipps & Drew discuss Luka Doncic's and Anthony Davis' debuts for their new teams. The boys react to the Clippers adding Ben Simmons before checking-in on the status of the league heading in to All-Star weekend.

It's the end of an era (and error depending on how you saw it) for the Clippers. Terance Mann is off to Atlanta along with Bones Hyland and Bogdan Bogdanović is an LA Clipper. KPJ was traded as well leaving some questions for the backup 1 role but...here we are. All that's left is maybe getting Ben Simmons on a buyout, right?

The minute we agreed it was ok for the Sixers to lose, they immediately stopped doing so and have won consecutive games over the Cavs and the Bulls. We talk about the wins, the likelihood the Sixers do not sell at the deadline, Ben Simmons comments about Philadelphia fans and whether they change how Spike feels about him, and the rumor about Bob Myers potentially replacing Daryl Morey.

This week on The Young Man and the Three we welcome Ben Simmons of the Brooklyn Nets, hosted by his teammate Cam Johnson. The episode begins with Tommy and Jason talking to Trey Murphy III of the New Orleans Pelicans about the Pelicans' hot streak, the play of CJ McCollum, and things that have caught their eye around the league recently (Hint: it's Cade Cunningham and CP3). Then Cam and Ben discuss Ben's return from injuries and surgeries and the battles that rehab requires, including Ben questioning if he wanted to continue playing basketball. Then, Ben talks about his mindset when it comes to people talking sh*t to him. He also reflects about his time with the Philadelphia 76ers and what he appreciated about playing in Philly. Ben also opens up out his upbringing in Australia and his fishing hobby. Cam and Ben then share why they enjoy playing with ‘sickos' like JJ Redick and Jimmy Butler. Toward the end of their conversation, they discuss some of their favorite playmakers in the NBA like Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Trae Young, and more. We close out the episode with Trey, Tommy, and Jason drafting NBA players past and present that they'd least want to get stuck in an elevator with.
