"Poll question: Who wins in a fight: Ben Simmons or Josh Jackson?"
Some fellow OKPs and I have been debating this. We all feel the answer is obvious, though we disagree on whom the obvious winner is. So I'll ask all of you.

Like usual on the rare occasions that it even gets to that level - lots of wild swinging but neither lands anything substantial or throws anything impressive looking.
They were both high recruits and high draft picks. Everyone has been kissing their asses since they were 12. They haven’t been in fights.
Left handers are hard to deal with in a scrap..dude seems sorta quiet, beware of the quiet guy. Reach and weight advantage.. tired of dudes talking about his broke ass jumper so he’s angry. Yea gimme Simmons
Getting fake tough guy feel from Josh who is always yappin.

By any measurables, I think Ben got it. JJ gives off anger issue vibes sometimes, which are a bit of a wildcard, but Ben seems willing to step up when challenged (by players, not open jump shots).

11. "Here was my argument:" In response to Reply # 8
Ben Simmons has two inches and 40 pounds on Josh. Ben grew up playing rugby and grew up a black man in Australia. Josh got in trouble at Kansas for threatening to beat up a woman, and he ran from the cops last year after trying to sneak into the VIP at a music festival.
Those things are really all I need to know. (And I coulda stopped after the first sentence, lol.)
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
