BEN SIMMONS HIT A THREE. YOU ARE NOT DREAMING THIS IS NOT A DRILL HE ACTUALLY DID IT


HOLY SHIT. CLAP YOUR HANDS. EVERYBODY. FOR Ben Simmons.

This is the moment we have all been waiting for. The prince who was promised has finally achieved what we all knew he could do. And not just on a grainy videotape from a summer exhibition or on the Sixers Snapchat at the training facility in Camden. This was on TV. People SAW this. It is real. I can only equivocate this to how people must’ve felt when they witnessed Jordan hit the crossover shot over the Utah Jazz in Game 6 of the NBA Finals except instead of the Finals it was the preseason and instead of the Utah Jazz it was the Guangzhou Loong-Lions but the impact on the world is still the same.

I think I’m safe in saying the Sixers are the certified safety lock to win the East now. Nooo, this is definitely not overreacting. We have the tallest starting five composed of 4 all-star potential talents, the best big man in the league with actual depth behind him, and superstar in the making that just learned how to shoot?

Trust the Process. Cue the music
