WATCH: Ben Simmons drills first career 3-pointer from the corner

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons finally makes a 3-pointer in his career.

It has happened. It finally happened. Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons has finally made a 3-pointer. No really, a real one. In a real regular season game. Ben Simmons drilled a corner 3-pointer.

In the first quarter of Wednesday’s matchup with the New York Knicks, Simmons found himself spotting up deep in the corner, the ball found him, and he casually caught it and drilled a 3-pointer for his first career make from deep. The one thing that has been on the mind of every basketball fan and Sixers fan alike, when will Simmons make his first career 3-pointer? It finally happened on a Wednesday night in South Philadelphia.

The Sixers have needed Simmons to show off some semblance of a jump shot to help the offense no matter how supremely talented he really is and maybe this is the turning over of a new leaf. The first step is to make just one. [lawrence-related id=19684,19676,19667]
