“Ben Simmons finally showing Brooklyn his true colours!”: NBA Twitter Trolls Nets Guard for Repeating Iconic Blunder

The Brooklyn Nets played their 3^rd game since the trade of Kevin Durant. With the loss of generational talents such as KD and Kyrie Irving, the Nets’ roster has obviously weakened. Shuffling different players as a part of their rotation, Jacque Vaughn is still experimenting with the new additions to the squad.

Due to the lack of chemistry, Brooklyn suffered their 2^nd straight loss. Playing against their NY rivals at the Madison Square Garden, the Knicks handed Ben Simmons and co. a 124-106 loss.

Ben Simmons replicates mistake that drove him out of Philadelphia

To be brutally honest, Simmons has anyways been the worst version of himself throughout this campaign. Prior to tonight’s clash, the Aussie averaged a shocking 3.5 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists in the past 4 games.

Tonight, having seen merely 12:41 minutes, the 6-foot-10 guard had a horrific stat line – 2 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists.

At one point in the clash, Simmons even replicated the iconic blunder he made during the 2021 Playoffs when representing the Philadelphia 76ers.

During the dying minutes of the first quarter, the former Rookie of the Year drove to the basket and was wide-open. As you may have rightly predicted, instead of tossing up the shot, Ben passed it away.

Here, have a look at the play.
