Over the past few years, Ben Simmons has lost a lot of his fans due to his inability to perform well.
On top of that, Simmons’ inability to stay healthy doesn’t help his case either, as he has struggled with numerous injuries since getting traded to the Brooklyn Nets.
This season, Simmons was expected to reach the level he once was in the NBA, but unfortunately, the former No. 1 overall pick has played just 11 games for the team.
Simmons has shown a few signs of his older self in the NBA, and the perfect example of this was his recent spin move during the Brooklyn Nets vs. San Antonio Spurs game.
Considering it has become a rare sight to see Simmons perform in games, many fans shared their reactions to the move.
Ben Simmons with the moves. 🔥

Instead of receiving praise for the move, most fans trolled the 27-year-old.
Many fans claimed it was his first jump shot in the league despite entering the league as the number-one overall pick eight years ago.
On the other hand, a few fans joked about how slowly he moved in the above-attached clip.
All things considered, the majority of the fans didn’t appreciate Ben Simmons’ performance; instead, they found it hilarious.
Well, it’s now upon Ben Simmons to ensure that he turns his critics back into his fans.
So far, he has failed to do so, averaging 7.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game for the Brooklyn Nets in 11 appearances.
