It’s been making the rounds since the Nets Practice in the Park on Sunday, a video of Ben Simmons firing up an airball while shooting around (and prior to his winning the Nets’ knockout tournament!)
It was as the video shows a half-hearted toss, but that didn’t stop the spread of the video. ESPN’s NBA Today even did a remarkably balanced five-minute segment on it...
So before Wednesday’s game, he was asked about it.
“It finds me all the time,” Simmons joked to ESPN’s Nick Friedell prior to the Nets-Bucks game.
