“Ben Simmons and John Wall really decided to vote for each other”: NBA Twitter trolls the Philly and Rockets guards for receiving All-Star votes from players despite playing 0 minutes this season

Even though John Wall and Ben Simmons haven’t played a single minute this season, the two guards surprisingly received All-Star votes from the players.

Every year, the All-Star voting results give us a new surprise. A majority of the time it is a deserving player getting snubbed. However, this year, the voting results were shocking as guards John Wall and Ben Simmons received votes from other players.

Keep in mind, Simmons and Wall are two incredible superstars, when healthy can even be named to the All-NBA team. However, both these players haven’t even played a single second for their respective teams. Despite this, peculiarly, the Philly two-way guard received 2 votes and the Rockets slasher obtained 1.

The All-Star votes from players also shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
