Simmons probably won’t return to the NBA Countdown set next year, he seems annoyed by the fact they are terrible and his frustrations are starting to boil over.
This isn’t the first time Simmons has lashed out about the direction of the show.

The problem isn’t Simmons, it is Magic Johnson. As long a Magic is the main person talking all the time, the show will never prosper. If they had a proper host with Wilbon, Jalen and Simmons, it might be a little better.
