Klutch Sports Got Hammered When They Asked People to Vote Ben Simmons For All-Star Game

As NBA teams get players out of the health and safety protocols, trade talks should pick up soon.

That means the Ben Simmons trade buzz should get going again too.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are one team to watch in trade talks for Simmons.

Of course as we all know Ben hasn’t played in a single game this season.

Yet Ben’s representation Klutch Sports is asking for fans to vote him in to the All-Star game.

No missed shots
No missed free throws
No turnovers
No reminders from him that, “I am what I am, it is what it is.”

Got my vote. https://t.co/0ET3no28qD

Praying this happens and Ben just comes and rains 3s, only to sit out the rest of the season. https://t.co/Q9s5g6hRMK

this has tremendous tampering potential. all-star starters are selected based on the formula:

50% Fan Vote
25% Media
25% Current Players

if enough fans and media members vote for him and he's #1 in each category, that could *possibly* be enough. imagine if Embiid is a captain. https://t.co/3DauUhdYRQ

Lock Rich Paul up https://t.co/8quJ6iIZyK
