Uh Oh. Looks Like Ben Simmons Learned How To Shoot And Now You're All In Deep Shit
The Entire Internet When Jimmy Butler Left For Miami: “Lol. Who is going to be taking the last shot for the Sixers now that they don’t have anybody who can actually shoot?”
Ben Simmons: “Oi. Hold me tinnie, mate.”
I know that playing in some random gym against a bunch of random dudes in the middle of the summer is far from a real life NBA situation. And I also realize that a 28-second clip from some random game in the middle of the summer is only going to show the highlights, so obviously it’s all going to look good. I’m not an idiot. You’re the idiots, however, if you watch that video and you’re not at least a little bit worried about Ben Simmons completely taking over the NBA and becoming the most dominant player in the world.
He looks smooth. He looks confident. It’s crazy what $170 million and breaking up with Kendall Jenner can to do a man.
And this doesn’t mean that Ben Simmons needs to start being Steph Curry and jacking up ten 3’s per game. All he needs to do is hit one of them, though, and the game is going to get so much easier for him. Once teams have to at least respect the idea that he’s going to take a 3, they’ll have no way to guard him. He will have cracked the code. And once it gets more difficult to defend Ben, that is going to make it more difficult to guard Joel Embiid. And once it gets more difficult to guard Joel Embiid, that’s going to make it more difficult to guard Tobias Harris. And so on and so on. The Ben Simmons jumper is the missing link to the Sixers’ dynasty, and it looks like he’s just found it.
I’ll see you all at the parade in June.
