Ben Simmons isn’t officially on the Sixers just yet, but after his appearance on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, he might as well be.
Simmons visited Jimmy Fallon and company following news Tuesday that the Sixers would reportedly select the LSU freshman as the first overall pick in the NBA draft this week. So, naturally, the pair celebrated with some fine Philly fare in the form of a Dalessandro’s cheesesteak.
It is actually Simmons' first bite of a proper Philadelphia cheesesteak, with the 19-year-old telling Fallon that he had had a couple of steaks before in his life, but never one out of the sandwich’s homeland.
