比爾西蒙斯 (Bill Simmons) 結束了 NBA 辯論,維克托溫班亞馬 (Victor Wembanyama)

除了聖安東尼奧馬刺隊及其球迷群體以及他的家人之外,可能沒有人比 NBA 內部人士和著名媒體人士比爾·西蒙斯 (Bill Simmons) 更喜歡維克托·溫巴尼亞馬了。

西蒙斯在比爾·西蒙斯播客的最新一集中提到,圍繞 NBA 的“球隊面貌”討論現在應該結束了,因為一旦勒布朗·詹姆斯、斯蒂芬·庫里和凱文·杜蘭特等老後衛退役,溫班亞馬顯然將接過這個職位。

「我當時的態度是,當你看到它時你就知道了。當它發生時你就知道了。今年溫比就發生了這種情況。他是聯盟中第一大吸引力。你可以在比賽中感受到這一點。人們很早就去觀看他熱身。當他在球場上時沒有人離開座位,他是他們最引人注目的人,這早就發生在六個月的時間裡,」西蒙斯說。

作為一名 7 英尺 4 英寸的中鋒,溫班亞馬確實是一個運動奇蹟,他不僅是整個 NBA 中最可怕的防守者,而且還擁有強大的進攻武器庫,可以讓球迷驚嘆不已。

馬刺隊在溫巴尼亞馬的第三個賽季躋身NBA最好的球隊之一,這讓這位法國巨星變得更加有吸引力,很難與西蒙斯爭辯,他已經迅速成為聯盟在全球範圍內最受歡迎的球員之一。

溫巴尼亞馬和馬刺隊本賽季有機會奪冠;他們本賽季對陣俄克拉荷馬城雷霆隊取得了積極的戰績,並且整個賽季他們都是精英隊(目前他們的戰績為57勝18負)。

如果溫巴尼亞馬在職業生涯的早期就贏得總冠軍,那隻會鞏固他作為 NBA 未來面孔的地位。

除了聖安東尼奧馬刺隊及其球迷群體以及他的家人之外,可能沒有人比 NBA 內部人士和著名媒體人士比爾·西蒙斯 (Bill Simmons) 更喜歡維克托·溫巴尼亞馬了。

Bill Simmons sets insane Victor Wembanyama 2026 NBA Draft trade value

When the San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama with the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, it changed their franchise forever.

Widely considered the best prospect since LeBron James 20 years ago, Wembley has somehow been better than advertised for the Spurs, racking up a list of accolades that could include Defensive Player of the Year and even MVP at season’s end if he’s able to meet the minimum game threshold.

But how valuable is Vembanayama in the eyes of the Spurs and talent evaluators around the NBA? Well, according to The Ringer’s Bill Simmons’ opinion on his eponymous podcast, he would prefer Wembey over all four top picks in this year’s class.

“Hypothetically, would you prefer Wemby or the top two picks in this draft? By far Wemby,” Simmons said. “Here’s a better question: Wembey or the top three picks in this draft? I’d still take Wembey. Wembey or the top four picks in the draft. I get them all. I might even take Caleb Wilson. I’d still take Wembey.”

So what would it take to pry Wembanyama away from the Spurs in terms of 2026 NBA Draft capital? Well, Simmons gave his number, keeping in mind that if he was to take home the “Alien” phone, he’d need an entire starting lineup’s worth of rookie stars.

“The answer to that is the top five picks in this draft,” Simmons said. “Now I have your attention. Now I can have Peterson and Acuff. I can have Caleb Wilson, DiBuntsa and Boozer. I have the entire starting five for Wembley. Now I’m thinking about it.”

Unfortunately for Simmons, there is no Voltron-style trade that could secure San Antonio Peterson, Acuff, Wilson, DiBantsa and Boozer, so the Spurs will have to stick with Wembanyama as their franchise cornerstone for now. Luckily, few fans in San Antonio will be bothered by that fact, because when you have a player who can become the best player to ever play the game, your future looks pretty bright.

Bill Simmons places Victor Vembanyama in legendary territory

The 2025-26 season has been a great one for the San Antonio Spurs, as they have risen to the top of the NBA totem pole and become one of the best teams in the association. And it’s not just that Spurs are the Victor Wembanyama show; They have such a young and deep team that it can hit on all cylinders even if Vembanyama withdraws, and their 54-18 record on the season is the furthest thing from a fluke situation as it could be.

But make no mistake, Spurs’ title hopes will hinge on Wembanyama and how far he can take this team, as franchise greats Tim Duncan and David Robinson did before him.

And prominent media member Bill Simmons, who has been a renowned student of the game for decades, believes Wembanyama is already keeping pace with some of the all-time greats compared to a similar point in his career.

“There’s only been three years two guys have won titles that were first-team All-NBA, which was ’99 (Tim) Duncan, ’81 (Larry) Bird, and ’71 Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar). I’m only mentioning it because I think he’s in that league,” Simmons said of Wambanyama on the latest episode of the Bill Simmons Podcast.

“And it feels weird to have all these names from the first 80 years in the league and be like holy man, these are the best names we have but I think that’s what we’re seeing.”

Only time will tell whether Vembanyama will be able to overcome this problem like those players did early in his career. After all, standing in his way is the Oklahoma City Thunder. But if there is anyone who has shown enough individual excellence to deserve consideration, it is the Spurs star.

The good thing is that the Spurs had a poor performance in the first two seasons of Wembanyama’s career, giving them an opportunity to fill the roster with quality players. This makes him one of the best contenders in the association, and could make Simmons look like a visionary once again.

比尔·西蒙斯 (Bill Simmons) 在观看完整赛季后发表大胆的文班亚马 (Wembanyama) 声明

比尔·西蒙斯今年见过联盟中的每一位超级巨星,但在他心目中,有一个名字最重要。虽然俄克拉荷马城雷霆队后卫谢伊·吉尔吉斯-亚历山大似乎已经锁定了 MVP 奖杯,但西蒙斯却为维克托·温班亚马树立了自己的旗帜,让他成为目前这个星球上真正最好的球员。在他最近的一期播客中,这位资深分析师对圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋每晚所提供的绝对防守引力感到惊叹。

“我不敢相信温比有多么出色。他踢球有多努力,他对攻防两端的影响有多大,尤其是防守。”西蒙斯说:“我们只是计算了他改变、改变或让对方改变主意的所有投篮次数,几乎有 30 个。他从不放弃,他一直在努力。还有他对比赛的影响。我认为这是我见过的最有影响力的事情。”

这种防守动力是圣安东尼奥马刺队目前取得 51 胜 18 负的主要原因,自 2016-17 赛季以来首次达到 50 胜大关。随着季后赛的临近,他们目前在一场高风险的西部比赛中仅落后雷霆队。

这位身高七英尺四英寸的天才球员在周二晚上以 132-104 击败萨克拉门托国王队的比赛中充分展现了他的效率。文班亚马甚至不需要流汗,在仅仅22分钟的比赛中就得到18分、8个篮板和3次助攻。他在地板上投篮14投7中,并击中两次三分球,然后提前上场。

西蒙斯承认吉尔吉斯-亚历山大正在转向迈克尔·乔丹和科比·布莱恩特的稀有气质。然而,他仍然坚持认为温班亚马对攻防两端的影响是他整个赛季所目睹的最令人印象深刻的事情。这位大个子不需要大量得分就能控制比赛的能力才是他真正的与众不同之处。随着季后赛的临近,关于最佳球员与最有价值球员的争论只会愈演愈烈。

Bill Simmons makes bold Wembanyama claim after watching entire season

Bill Simmons has watched every superstar in the league this year, but one name stands out above the rest in his mind. While Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is gunning for the MVP trophy, Simmons is planting his flag for Victor Wembanyama as the true best player on the planet right now. On a recent episode of his podcast, the veteran analyst expressed his amazement at the sheer defensive intensity the San Antonio Spurs center provides every night.

“I can’t believe how good Wemby is. How hard he plays, and what an impact he makes on both ends of the floor, especially on defense.” Simmons said, “We were just counting all the shots he changes, changes, or changes the guy’s mind, and it was about 30. He never gives up, he keeps playing hard the whole time. And he has an impact on the game. I thought it was the most impressive thing I’ve seen.”

That defensive motor is a primary reason why the San Antonio Spurs currently sit at 51-18, reaching the 50-win mark for the first time since the 2016-17 season. They currently trail only the Thunder in the high-stakes Western Conference race as the playoffs approach.

The seven-foot-four phenom’s efficiency was on full display during Tuesday night’s emphatic 132-104 win over the Sacramento Kings. Wembanyama didn’t need to break a sweat, finishing with 18 points, eight rebounds and three assists in just 22 minutes of action. He hit 7 of 14 shots from the floor and knocked down two triples before being quickly benched.

Simmons acknowledged Gilgeous-Alexander is hovering in the rarefied air of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. However, he still stressed that the impact Vembanyama has had on both ends of the floor represents the most impressive thing he has seen all season. The big man’s ability to control the game without the need for high-volume scoring is what really sets him apart. As the postseason approaches, the debate over best player vs. most valuable player will only intensify.

Bill Simmons hints at the truth behind Paul George’s suspension

As Paul George nears his return from his 25-game suspension due to violations of the NBA’s anti-drug program, there is still a level of ambiguity behind the actual reason for his suspension. The NBA simply said that the suspension was classified as a first-time offense under the collective bargaining agreement and did not disclose the specific substance he was found taking.

Now, Bill Simmons and Vosny Lambre have provided some clarity on The Bill Simmons Podcast, with both suggesting that they were well aware of what George had taken.

“Paul George is always unavailable, when he’s not injured, he’s being suspended, we don’t know what for. I think I know what that guy was suspended for,” Lambrew initially said, before Simmons claimed he had “a few guesses” about what it was.

Lambre claimed that they could only pretend that they did not know what the substance was.

“Well, we know what it was, I think,” Simmons said, ultimately deciding not to disclose the substance in question.

George himself said after the suspension that he had taken “inappropriate medication” for a mental health issue, claiming that he wanted to take time to put his body and mind in the best possible condition for his return.

“Over the past few years, I have discussed the importance of mental health, and recently in seeking treatment for an issue of my own, I made the mistake of taking an inappropriate medication. I take full responsibility for my actions and apologize to the Sixers organization, my teammates, and Philly fans for my poor decision-making during this process,” the 76ers forward said.

George is eligible to return with approximately 10 regular season games left before the playoffs against the Chicago Bulls on March 25. Along with the suspension and a fine of approximately $11.7 million, George had missed 32 games by that point in the season.

They still managed to keep their playoff hopes alive this campaign with a 38–30 record, which is currently good for ninth in the Eastern Conference.

How Bill Simmons leaned into the extreme Kawhi Leonard vs. Kevin Durant debate

LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard and Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant are two of the greatest players of all time. Although both players are nearing the end of their careers, both are still playing at a high level. And when it comes to the debate over which player had the better career peak, NBA media personality Bill Simmons leans 55-45 toward Leonard.

During a recent episode of ‘The Bill Simmons Podcast’ as a guest of former NBA player and current analyst Tim Legler, Simmons explained why he’s leaning toward picking Kawhi Leonard over Kevin Durant as far as extremes go.

“If you’re talking about pure talented forwards in this century, LeBron is in first place. It’s probably him [Kawhi] For that second forward spot versus KD,” Simmons said. “In terms of pure talent, if I had an extreme version of either of these guys for a season, which one would you want, there’s a pretty good argument. . .It could be 55-45 towards Kawhi, that I would lean.

Durant is in his 18th season in the NBA while Leonard is in his 14th season. When it comes to accolades, Leonard has made six All-NBA teams, while Durant has made 11 All-NBA teams. Durant has one MVP award while Leonard has two Defensive Player of the Year awards. Leonard has seven All-Star appearances and Durant has 16 All-Star nominations.

Both players have two championships each along with two Finals MVP awards. It’s an interesting debate, but it’s certain that both are future Hall of Famers.

Leonard is averaging 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 steals this season, while shooting 50.1 percent from the field, 37.8 percent from the 3-point line and 89.7 percent from the free-throw line.

Bill Simmons believes Steve Kerr’s future is tied to LeBron James

Bill Simmons made bold comments about Steve Kerr’s coaching career with the Golden State Warriors that includes a scenario with LeBron James.

Kerr has been the head coach of the Warriors since 2014, leading the franchise to four championships and six NBA Finals appearances during his tenure. However, times have been tough since the last title run in 2022, failing to advance beyond the second round and even missing the playoffs once.

Kerr hopes to compete for another championship with Golden State, which could include an offseason move to lure James away from the Los Angeles Lakers. However, if the scenario fails to come to fruition, Simmons provided his perspective on what will happen to Kerr’s time with the Warriors.

“I think he (LeBron James) either stays in L.A. or he goes to Golden State… It’s kind of tied to LeBron. If they don’t get LeBron, I think it’s up to Steve Kerr. I don’t have any inside information, but it would be the right kind of area for him, I’ll take a year, I’ll do some media, I’ll figure out if I want to keep coaching. I’m leaving it at that,” Simmons said. Said. Mark 1:04:20 of his podcast.

Steve Kerr, what’s next for the Warriors?

Steve Kerr has accomplished a lot with the Warriors, creating the NBA’s most recent dynasty in the modern era. However, the end of his time with the Warriors may be closer than he anticipated, especially if the team is unable to land LeBron James for next season.

Golden State has a 30–27 record on the season, finishing in eighth place in the Western Conference standings. They are above the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Clippers while trailing the Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Warriors will look forward to their next matchup while on the road. They will face the New Orleans Pelicans on February 24, tip-off at 8 PM ET.

Bill Simmons thinks LeBron is intimidated by Luka Doncic’s ‘fouls’

On Sunday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers returned to the loss column with a crushing home loss to the Boston Celtics. Luka Doncic put 25 points on the board in this one, but he wasn’t particularly efficient in getting there, shooting 9-22 from the field and dishing out just three assists.

Doncic was seen raising his hands and complaining to the referee throughout the evening, as well as apparently flopping in an attempt to get a call, which was widely mocked on social media.

Recently, The Ringer’s Bill Simmons, a noted Celtics fan, reflected on the play.

“The foul nonsense is the worst it’s been in a while,” Simmons said, according to “It’s so bad that even LeBron is like, ‘Wow, this guy really sucks at calls.’ But I don’t think it helps them.”

James has been known to commit a foul or two during his illustrious career, but even his antics have never come close to the acrobatic routines that Doncic displays in an attempt to draw calls on a nightly basis.

This issue has been noted for Doncic dating back to his days with the Dallas Mavericks, as has his tendency to constantly argue with referees, and at some points, it threatens to eclipse the talent he is able to achieve on the basketball court, which he does not need to rely on foul play to generate.

Meanwhile, Lakers fans’ concerns about Austin Reaves’ ability to perform against good defense were proven justified by his performance on Sunday night, as well as the team’s lack of viable perimeter defenders.

Los Angeles is currently 34-22 on the season, and will have to fight to stay in the top six of the West during the season.

The Lakers will next take the field against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday at 10:30 PM ET.

Suns-Magic take ‘indescribable’ from Simmons after Green’s game-winner

The Phoenix Suns pulled out a chaotic 113-110 double-overtime win against the Orlando Magic in this Sunday’s NBA game, thanks to a performance from Jalen Green that was both frustrating and heroic. With key contributors like Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks sidelined, Green was forced to take a higher amount of shots, finishing the night with an inefficient 6-of-26 shooting.

Despite his struggles, he remained aggressive, attacking the paint and creating opportunities until the end. When the score was tied at 110, Green caught a pass from Royce O’Neale and hit a fadeaway three-pointer at the buzzer to seal the victory. After the game, Green mocked his mentality during that final play, saying, “At that point, it’s double OT; we just want to go home.”

The bizarre nature of the game caught the attention of notable NBA analyst Bill Simmons. He went on to comment to Simmons’ description of “indescribable” perfectly captured the duality of Green’s night, in which the game was marked by offensive struggles, culminating in her finding the net on the most important shot of the evening.

The clutch moment marks a significant milestone in Green’s season, which has been largely hampered by a hamstring injury that has kept him out of 41 of the team’s first 43 games. Since returning in late January, the Suns have viewed him as a mid-season spark, akin to a trade deadline acquisition.

While his rhythm has been inconsistent, head coach Jordan Ott defended his star’s performance, calling him an “incredible shot maker” and emphasizing how challenging it can be to hit a game-winner after struggling for four quarters. With the win, which snapped a two-game losing streak, Phoenix is ​​counting on Green’s ability to provide high-level scoring as they push for a playoff position in the Western Conference.

比爾西蒙斯 (Bill Simmons) 將傑森塔圖姆 (Jayson Tatum) 3 月 1 日回歸日期的點點滴滴聯繫起來

如果比爾·西蒙斯的陰謀論有任何跡象的話,波士頓凱爾特人隊的球迷似乎不需要等待很長時間就能看到傑森·塔圖姆的回歸。在他的同名播客的最新一集中,這位凱爾特人隊的終身球迷讀了茶葉,並得出結論,塔圖姆有望在三月的第一周回歸——他的錢是在這個月的第一周。

「我不知道你週末是否看到了這個。3月1日週日晚上凱爾特人隊和76人隊的比賽。從下午六點改為晚上八點。嗯,」西蒙斯說。

「我聽說三月第一周已經有一段時間了。據說是在 3 月 4 日和 3 月 6 日的比賽前後。陰謀比爾還指出,如果你訪問任何 3 月 6 日達拉斯比賽的門票轉售網站,價格會很不正常。而且不可能只是庫珀·弗拉格要來城裡。”

「所以看起來真的開始像是 3 月 1 日或 3 月 6 日,但我的錢現在對他來說應該是 3 月 1 日。”

塞爾提克隊已經準備好佔據東部第一的位置

塞爾提克隊成為 2025-26 NBA 賽季最大的驚喜之一;儘管沒有塔圖姆,他們還是成功守住了堡壘,這在很大程度上要歸功於傑倫·布朗的穩定和主教練喬·馬祖拉的才華。

但塞爾提克隊知道,他們在六月爭奪拉里·奧布萊恩獎杯的夢想將取決於塔圖姆和他的健康狀況,以及他在季後賽跟腱斷裂一年後是否準備好為球隊帶來影響。

對於塔圖姆來說,試圖幫助塞爾提克渡過難關將是一個很高的要求,因為他在跟腱撕裂的回歸中肯定還沒有達到100%的狀態。但事實上,有跡象表明回歸時間比預期要早,這對波士頓來說是令人難以置信的,對整個聯盟來說也是令人難以置信的。

Simmons trades Lacob to Warriors amid Padres pursuit

Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob was recently reported to be interested in purchasing the MLB franchise San Diego Padres, leading to much speculation regarding his current stake in the NBA team. As things stand, Lacob is the owner of the most valuable franchise in the NBA, given the Warriors’ success over the past decade.

However, for Bill Simmons, Lacob’s desire to add the Padres to his portfolio could mean he will sell the Warriors.

“I’m wondering, so let’s say he wins, and he gets the Padres. Is it unimaginable to think that the next team would be available? Because I’ve asked it to people, and they were like, ‘No way, he’ll never sell the Warriors,'” Simmons initially said on The Bill Simmons Podcast.

However, Simmons believes this could lead to Lacob moving on to a new challenge.

“But right now it’s the perfect time to sell the Warriors. Because you’re at the peak of the market, there’s money coming in for expansion and then on top of that the new owner can be the new owner of that team for the next three to seven years with Steph Curry on it, no matter how long he plays. And you can just be like, you know, four titles. I couldn’t have done better than that. I built this amazing infrastructure, and now I get to take my talents to baseball. Will go,” he said. Said.

There is no doubt that the Warriors need to rebuild to emerge as a contender in the next few seasons. Stephen Curry, who started the Warriors’ championship runs, is now 37, with Draymond Green also approaching the end of his career.

Furthermore, the Padres present a unique opportunity for Lacob. The possibility of a sale of the team is being explored following the death of owner Peter Seidler and ongoing legal and financial complications surrounding the family trust that controls the organization.

Lacob has previously attempted to purchase other MLB teams, including the Athletics and Angels, and has long expressed a desire to own a baseball franchise. From a purely business standpoint, this might actually be the right time for Lacob to enter MLB, even if it means opting out of the NBA.

比爾·貝利切克 (Bill Belichick) 停止 HOF 投票後,比爾·西蒙斯 (Bill Simmons) 放棄了現實檢驗

NFL 傳奇人物比爾·貝利切克 (Bill Belichick) 在獲得資格的第一年就被排除在投票名單之外,之後還需要等待一段時間才能入選名人堂。

ESPN 的 Don Van Natta Jr. 和 Seth Wickersham 週二的報導中透露了這一點。報導指出,帶領新英格蘭愛國者隊六次奪冠的貝利切克對這一決定感到“困惑”和“失望”。貝利切克需要在 50 票中獲得至少 40 票。

球迷們對貝利奇克的缺席感到驚訝,因為他被廣泛認為是 NFL 歷史上最好的教練之一。

The Ringer 的 Bill Simmons 也對此事發表了看法, 放棄大膽的嘗試 在名人堂上。

“貝利切克昨天是有史以來最好的 NFL 教練,今天和明天仍然如此,”西蒙斯在 X 上寫道。

“事實是,體育名人堂已經不再那麼重要了,因為我們把它們都搞砸了。”

值得注意的是,西蒙斯是愛國者隊的鐵桿球迷,在馬薩諸塞州長大。

關於名人堂的評選過程一直存在無休止的爭論,一些人認為它充滿了政治、偏袒和恩怨。

對於現在為北卡羅來納州發號施令的 73 歲貝利奇克來說,這似乎意味著一切。有傳言稱,他因在愛國者隊王朝統治期間的“間諜門”和“洩氣門”爭議中所扮演的角色而受到處罰。

NFL 前高管比爾·波利安 (Bill Polian) 已經否認自己影響了選票,聲稱自己支持貝利切克。
