Ben Simmons is an American-Australian wonderkid renowned for his basketball acumen and passing prowess for the Philadelphia 76ers. His passing also extends off the court though, as he passes for a born and bred American at first listen.
As someone with a relatively low I.Q., I found it hard to tell when Ben would bring his accent out, and what words would set it off. So naturally, I watched any and every interview I could in order to get to the bottom of it.
The brief backstory is that Ben’s father is from New York, played pro basketball in Australia and ended up settling down there.
