This beef requires us to remember who Ben Simmons was at the start of his career. So let's allow our minds to travel back to the late 20teens, when we were young and hopeful and had more energy and my dog was still alive, and Ben Simmons was considered the second coming of Magic Johnson. He was 6’10” but moved and ran and drove and passed like a point guard. Sure didn't really shoot, but we didn't worry, there was so much he could do!

Jared Dudley also didn't worry. Why worry, the guy who couldn't/wouldn't shoot was his defensive assignment in the 2019 playoffs. Instead of worrying, Dudley simply told everyone that actually, Ben Simmons was not the second coming of Magic Johnson, he was average in the half court.

Beef ensued. Enjoy.
