The Ben Simmons Jumper Foundation

Ben Simmons is a ridiculously talented basketball player.

However, as with most rooks, dude's got lotsa room for serious improvement.

Ironically, it's a glaring flaw in his otherwise impeccable game that one almost never sees from an overseas player, where the fundamentals are pounded into them much more thoroughly than in the USA.

That would be his noticeable lack of a jump shot.

 

The Sixers and Simmons were finally exposed in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, as the young baller was a little gunshy with the jumper after the Celtics took away many of his drives to the hoop. 

 

Some of that footage was from his LSU days, but you get the idea.

Unfortunately, charitable contributions won't help Simmons.

He's going to have to put in the work.

 

Just ask Philly head coach Brett Brown.

 

Hmmm, intense refinement, you say.

That sounds pretty involved.

 

Simmons is an integral part of the Process and is already pretty damn good without a consistent jumper.

He'll be fine.

Perhaps he could listen to Kobe Bryant though, who is also on board with a complete reconstruction.

Or maybe dude could start a support group with Lonzo Ball.

 

OK, that's enough.
