Ben Simmons No Show at Training Camp: KRON4 Sports Anchor Jason Dumas Calls Out 97.5 The Fanatic Mike Missanelli for Capping
Today is Media Day across the NBA as teams introduce their new and returning players to their fans via media interviews and photo sessions. However one team, the Philadelphia 76ers will have one key player missing. That player is Ben Simmons who will not be reporting to the team amid trade rumors throughout the off season.
In fact trade rumors and Simmons' next destination or lack thereof has been the number one story during the NBA off season. Sports talk show host Mike Missanelli of 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia has had enough of the rumors and the takes on social media and sports blogs. He went on an epic rant in earshot of his producer Tyrone Johnson on a number of sports reporters including... JASON DUMAS!!! WHOEVER HE IS?
His rant was directed towards KRON4 San Francisco Bay Area sports anchor Jason Dumas. Now why would Dumas have any relevant information regarding Ben Simmons?
Mike acting like he doesn’t know one of his former interns is a wild turn that I did not expect today lol

Dumas is well connected to the situation with Simmons and his agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports. He's been pretty accurate with the NBA news and information he tweets out on the NBA . (However the idea of organized groups booing Ben Simmons at training camp seems a little far-fetched even for Philly fans.).
@MikeMiss25 i’m in Philly right now. What’s up Mike — PS - I interned at your station two summer stop acting like you don’t know who I am. You capping for your viewers right now. Cut it out. https://t.co/kYhFzzDkIS

Dumas went to Twitter and said Misanelli knows who he is and accused him of capping. Dumas as it turns out says he worked as a summer intern at a sports station Missanelli was working at while he was in college.
Dumas was born and raised in Philadelphia who just so happens to work in San Francisco and grew up a Sixers fan. Dumas was in Philadelphia last week to cover the Eagles vs. 49ers football game.
They called me Jason Dumbass lol https://t.co/0uOdHD7fJ1

Wow — 10 years ago today. I was a wide eyed young punk fresh out of Syracuse University. Covered this event for a Sixers Blog that I started. Got a one on one interview with LeBron James.

Do we have to explain what capping is?
