Alright, look NBA Twitter: we’re going to spend the next few months speculating and buzzing about whether the Philadelphia 76ers will hang on to Ben Simmons or trade him, so I get that you all want to start things up now.
But this? This is a little much.
The “this” I’m referring to is the fact that someone on Twitter noticed Sixers president Daryl Morey recently purchased an NBA TopShot moment featuring Simmons. He spent quite a bit of money on it, too, $4,444 to be exact, on a Simmons Dunk Holo Icon from Series 2 that’s only 1 of 28 “printings.”
So what does it all mean? I’d say a whole lot of nothing, maybe he’s just a collector who saw a cool thing and wanted to buy it for his large collection. But some fans didn’t see it that way.
