A mere child, especially compared to the majority of the folks posting on this message board. Don't get me wrong, I think this whole situation was poorly handled by all parties and Ben definitely created any potential drama that will ensue this season among himself and Doc and his teammates as well, but I wouldn't go so far as to think something is mentally wrong with the dude.

I hope Simmons will be able to block out some of the derision the fans will give him because I'm almost certain the Sixers fans will make him a convenient scapegoat if and when things go awry.
