Simmons sucks. He can get nuked with the rest of ESPN. He's Rick Reilly part 2.
Not even close. Try again.
Current Simmons sucks and has for a few years. If it was 2004, then yes, he was very good. Riley was too at one point too. Both of them are terrible on tv. Once they went to tv, both of their writing went to shit. They are both extremely arrogant. Both are whiny cunts. Both got worse as their popularity increased. They have some similarities. From the past five years, I'll give Simmons credit for his part in creating 30 for 30. Other than that, he's worthless.
So his background is writing? I agree that he's not very good on TV, but it's the NBA so I barely care. I really don't know where he came from. All the sudden this white guy who clearly wasn't a jock started appearing on the NBA halftime shows. None of it seemed natural.
Yeah, it's gone downhill a bit, but what do you expect after like 25 years. Still has the best drops on radio though. The "blocked" and "struggggliiing" drops are all timers, it's always been one of the show's strengths and that hasn't changed.

At one time he was the best sportswriter anywhere. Total must read.
His work has slipped considerably, but it's nowhere near as bad as RoadDawg makes it out to be. Rick Reilly is a whole other level of FS.
