VIDEO: Ben Simmons is Back to Bricking 3's And All is Right With the World
By Jerry Trotta
The offseason indicated that Ben Simmons' woeful jump shot made significant strides as he was seen netting three-pointers on a somewhat consistent basis. Heck, the All-Star point guard was even splashing from distance as early as the preseason. Well, Simmons was spotted warming up his jumper ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers' matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night, and to say that he was struggling to find the range would be underselling his pre-game routine.
Did you really think that we could live in an NBA world that featured Simmons as a reliable marksman? If you did, congratulations, you played yourself.
For those wondering, Simmons has attempted ONE three through nine games this season (he missed) and this laughable display -- keep in mind there was nobody within 20 feet of him -- is confirmation that all is right with the world.
