Daily News | Ben Simmons goes on podcast, shares feelings, misses the key point
At one point, Simmons observes that the trials and tribulations of the last year have left him a more mature human being. Yet the ultimate sign of maturity is the ability to recognize and claim personal responsibility for one’s situation. Rarely in the conversation does Simmons even hint at the possibility that he could have handled things differently. And really, at the end of the day, the lack of that quality is the No. 1 reason Simmons is now a Net instead of a Sixer.
A person who felt the way Simmons felt in the aftermath of Game 7 could have dealt with those feelings in one of two ways. He could have done what mature adults do in the face of criticism, which is to take time to evaluate the things they can do better, address the things they disagree on, work to find common understanding, and honor one’s contractual obligations. Instead, he chose Option B: run away.
There is more than a little selfishness baked into the assumption that the world should operate in deference to your feelings. The difficult thing about life is that everybody has feelings. It’s reasonable to expect others to care for and consider your feelings. It is unreasonable to expect that they make them a priority. At one point during the podcast, Simmons was asked if he would do anything differently.
