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. Let’s go!
