‘Next question please.” It was NBA star Russell Westbrook‘s M.O. last year in interviews as his Thunder struggled to achieve. But it may now be Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons new answer to a prevailing question he gets — you gonna be able to shoot the three? Simmons has never hit a 3-point shot in an NBA basketball game, a fact about which he seems very little concerned. (Note: sometimes he seems sensitive about having to answer the question, but not about his game.)
Maybe Simmons’s carefree attitude is because of the footage above. Big Ben can knock down the three. And not just standing on the line either. Simmons is shown here knocking them down from way, way out. This is 2x NBA MVP and 3-point legend Steph Curry territory. Simmons’s potential is remarkably high — he’s already an NBA All-Star without the 3-point weapon in his arsenal. Look out, NBA.
