Ben Simmons Sends a Message to His Haters By Retweeting His Fiance’s Old Tweet

The Ben Simmons hate is real.

The Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons could be a trade candidate in the offseason. Ben has become the punching bag for NBA fans everywhere, and Twitter has made its feelings on Ben clear, they don’t like him. When Simmons is on the floor there’s actually a lot to like, he’s really a great talent, with just a few shooting issues.

But as we know Ben didn’t play one single minute this season, yet he got paid to play. Ben has struggled with herniated disc injuries at different points of his career and didn’t end up playing a single game in the 2021-22 season. Apparently his mental health caused his back pain.

It’s hard to predict what will happen with the Brooklyn Nets this offseason.

Between Kyrie and Ben there’s only so much drama one team can take. As far as trying to keep Ben’s name out of our filthy mouths?

Yea, that’s not happening.
