I don't know how people can watch or listen to Bill Simmons

Lmao wtf was that

Boy he gonna feel fuckin dumb in a couple months

This literally makes zero sense. Wtf does Monte Carlo style draft mean? Does it mean who is the biggest alpha dog in the draft? Best player? This is clearly answered just to shit on Markelle.
I mean whoever is talking with Simmons says "what does Markelle even do for Lonzo", are you fucking kidding me? One of the reasons we traded up to get him is that he can play off ball well. That guy is a hack.

Classic Boston fan hate

Monte Carlo simulation has a meaning, it's used in risk management daily all over the world. This is not what it means. It's also dumb af even after the dumbness.
I pick two bad point guards as my captains, a pg doesn't go top due to fit. ER. Ok.
Simmons has been trash for ages, he's ignorant and no longer funny

Yeah they're conflating 2 distinct things.
The Dream Team played a scrimmage in Monte Carlo, the physical place. But when they start talking about "running everything through the Monte Carlo model", they're using the same language that we use to describe use of Monte Carlo algorithms.
Not to mention this entire thing is ridiculously contrived because the results are simply predicated on the fact that IF YOU MAKE THE TEAM CAPTIONS TWO (OTHER) POINT GUARDS, YEAH, THEY LIKELY AREN'T PICKING A POINT GUARD WITH THEIR FIRST FUCKING PICK.

He also said on his podcast that Fultz won't win because he's "detached" like McGrady was...
...But I would give my left nut to have the prime 32.1ppg McGrady on the Sixers. Not to mention Markelle has fucking F2G tatted on his leg.
He also said that Ben is the same way and that's why the Sixers won't be good because no one has the "drive" and alpha dog personality. But he failed to mention that we literally have the biggest personality and the most charismatic, driven mother fucker in the league in Embidd.
Fuck Bill Simmons that jealous bitch

Fultz is going to get the harden treatment, fat checks, calm demeanor and that somehow translates to lazy fuck

Ignore The Ringer articles
Ignore The Ringer podcasts
Ignore every The Ringer writer on r/nba other than trolling purposes

Bit harsh

Call me crazy if you want to but The Ringer started a coordinated attack on Sixers/Fultz after the trade. They can't stop shitting on him/us every chance they get.
I would be fine with it if their points were basketball-related, but no. It's always this really ridiculous speculations on "locker room chemistry" or "character".

Simmons used to be great then he became too big for his own good. He bought into his hype and turned into the egotistical maniac he is today.

Do people still care about what Bill Simmons say?

Simmons used to shit on the Lakers pick as an unknown commodity that wasn't an immediate help on-court for us when it was our asset. Now he's like "we got Tatum and the Lakers pick for a guy we didn't want anyway!" He's a Boston homer, which is fine and I actually sort of respect that authenticity, but he lets it color "objective" analysis too much. He has interesting guests and I enjoy Ringer content overall though

This is 1 minute and 49 seconds of pure unadulterated trash. Just two months ago Bill Simmons was sucking Fultz dick on his podcast. Now all of the sudden Lonzo and Fox are captains over Fultz?
