Social Media Reacts To Ben Simmons Taking Multiple Shots At The Brooklyn Nets: ‘There’s Only One Ball’ (VIDEO + TWEETS)

Ben Simmons chose violence with these comments.

Simmons may have just given the Brooklyn Nets some bulletin board material after the 76ers’ blowout win over the Mavericks last night. After the game, Simmons was asked about facing off against Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden and company in the postseason.

“Obviously Brooklyn has a lot of talent,” Simmons told reporters via The Athletic’s Rich Hofmann. “But at the end of the day, there’s only one ball and you gotta play defense too.”

Ben Simmons: "We're going for the past champs, the Lakers. They were the ones who won a championship, so you got to give the respect to them. Obviously Brooklyn has a lot of talent. But at the end of the day, there's only one ball and you gotta play defense too."
