"Ben Simmons fuels rumors of a trade with James Harden by getting vaccinated with few days left for the trade deadline": Shockingly, the Sixers point guard had not got his jab until recently

“Fu*k Ben Simmons” chants break out during an All Elite Wrestling match in Philadelphia’s Liacouras Center amid the Sixers’ star fiasco.

Ever since his rookie season, Ben Simmons has been an incredible talent. Standing the 6-foot-10, the unconventional guard manages to handle and pass the ball with the highest efficiency, all while being an incredible defensive player.

However, after a rather subpar playoffs performance this past season, there has been a lot of hate that Simmons has been receiving all summer. Shooting an abysmal 34% from the free-throw line, fans and analysts have been right in criticising him for disappearing in the postseason. Resulting in their second-round loss to an inexperienced Atlanta Hawks team.

Things have gotten so out of control with Simmons and the Philly organization that the Australian southpaw is willing to sit out the whole season rather than play for the Sixers. And because of his horrendous playoffs performance, his value has also been badly affected in the trade market.

It’s safe to say, Philly fans don’t want the Australian star to play for their city anymore. There have been several viral videos where fans have been slaughtering Ben’s reputation.

You know the fans really don’t love you anymore when they are demeaning you that bad. It’s been a tough few months for Ben Simmons and even the organization. And with the way the whole incident has been mismanaged, it doesn’t look like the fiasco will be settled any time soon.
