  • I Q is too high for you to sit up there and say what you just said when you consider the competition that he's going to have to go against Miami, think about it.

  • You picked Miami to beat Milwaukee, as did I.

  • We both pick them to beat Milwaukee.

  • Max didn't but you and I picked Miami to beat Milwaukee.

  • Why do we make that selection?

  • Because we saw the marksman that they had all over the place, and we knew that shooting would neutralize whatever the Greek freak through in their direction.

  • When we fantasize about what Brooklyn's gonna be, it's because of what they can do from the perimeter.

  • So I'm saying to you, Yeah, they're gonna win their share of regular season games.

  • They'll win 50 plus games.

  • They'll get to the postseason.

  • We get that.

  • But when we talk about championship KP, if Ben Simmons and I know you're talking about him scoring in the post as opposed to the perimeter.

  • But I'm thinking about the ball being in his hands, him being able to run that offense because his I Q is so high and his ball handling and passing skills are so sublime.

  • I'm asking you, KP Are you telling me that if can Ben Simmons doesn't develop a perimeter shot, it's not gonna be that important to come out of the East.

  • No, it's not.

  • It's not.

  • I watched Doc Rivers put rage on Rondo in the position where early in his career he was that he was just like being Simmons when we won the championship.

  • Would he that he did not take jump shots?

  • Doc had him.

  • He would tell them if they sag and offer you Rondo, take up space and attacked him still and then drive, huh?

  • Did not the first season not the first?

  • No, not the first year that we won the championship.

  • Doc usedto have rondo double flooding.

  • Thio, Uh, listen to what I'm saying, Max.

  • Max.

  • I'll make it, Max.

  • I get all that.

  • I'm telling you what Doc did to make Rondo effective because they wasn't guarding him because he wasn't shooting the ball.

  • What I'm saying was, he usedto have Rondo double flooding in the paint.

  • I would duck in, then clear out, take a man with me and Rondo would cut right in the middle of the paint and get it Easy.

  • Layup!

  • Those the type of things that Doc Rivers could draw up for.

  • Ben Simmons.

  • That's what I'm trying to tell you, Max.

  • And it's other ways toe value and get the most out of him.

  • So that feeling could be successful without him worried about taking a damn jump shot shake.

  • Milton's a nice player.

  • If Simmons doesn't learn how to shoot, at least the mid range shake Milton will have the ball in his hands at the end of games.

  • Not Ben Simmons.

  • Do you want that, Max?

  • Just because he had the ball in his hands don't mean this his play.

  • He could be orchestrating the damn offense.

  • Max without shooting the ball.

  • He could be shaped milk.

  • Could have the ball in his hand and be running a B a bit.

  • Simmons.

  • Guys, I'm being told we have to wrap.

  • We have a guest waiting.

  • I do want to mention, though, that he also said Ben Simmons that he's gonna move in with Joel Embiid this season so they could get to know them better.

  • So I guess they're actually gonna be living together as well to build that chemistry.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
