you dont think he is entitled to a short break? if he went to the Olympics he would be with the Boomers for the next 6 weeks.So Ben Simmons decided not to represent Australia at the Olympics so he could practice his skills. Fair enough. I see he was at Wimbledon with who I can only assume is his skills coach , looking all cosy. If I had a skills coach that looked like her I would be skipping the Olympics in a heartbeat and be practicing my skills 24/7

I don’t quite think you understand where I’m coming from with my post
guess not, unless it was just meant as a comment on the attractiveness of his GF.
Let’s hope those shots aren’t like the ones he takes on the court. They’re blanks.She's helping him with his "between the legs dribble" and his "inside shot"
Great warm up win over the US by the boomers just now. Patty Mills you star, what an admirable man. Love him. Great he is the flag bearer too.
Aussie team has great chemistry. And some good depth. Love the look of Thybulle - never heard of him before today. If guys can play their roles who knows? Deserved to win gold at the world champs, a massive chance to do well here it seems.
Just hope we play those flopping, diving, staging *smile* from Spain at some stage.

I’ve seen Thybulle play in the NBA and thought he was pretty good. Had no idea he was an Aussie until yesterday!
Ha! Me too. Tenuous link but happy he is on board. Surprised he hasn't had more publicity.
More convinced than ever if we had Simmons this team would be Gold medal worthy.
We still COULD do it but we'd need everything to go right. With Simmons, I reckon we get to the final at least.
He's allowed to choose not to compete but being made to feel valued and part of a winning culture would have done so much for him.

Simmons seems to me an entitled brat who only gives a *smile* about himself. I couldn't care less if he ever plays for Australia or not. Needs an attitude readjustment.
You are right that he would most likely great benefit from being in the team but he is too self absorbed to realise it.
I struggle with the brat theory because his greatest skills, passing and defense, are team orientated.
