NBA Fans Are Roasting Ben Simmons After Viral Fishing Video

Ben Simmons has been an excellent player in the NBA so far in his young career, with one glaring weakness: the man cannot and will not shoot the basketball. He is so reluctant to shoot the ball that both a preseason made three and his first career three in a regular season game made headlines earlier this year.

And it was newsworthy considering it took the former Number 1 pick 171 career games before he connected on a shot from beyond the arc. He was already an All-Star once before he did so. He made the game for a second time this season before the league shutdown. Simmons is 2-for-6 from deep this year, and 2-for-23 for his career thus far.

So yeah, as you can imagine, he gets a little ribbing from the media for his shooting.

And now that ribbing has spread from the media to his social media after this post from the weekend where he literally misses the ocean.

I’m not kidding.

Watch as the 23-year old star point guard was trying his hand at a different sport while in Florida: fishing. He managed to catch one, but when he went to toss it in the water, it… didn’t not go well.
