Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons has been through a lot over the past few years as he has been dealing with a variety of injuries and off-the-court issues as well. Now, he appears to be in the best physical condition since his days as a Philadelphia 76er and seems to be in a more joyful mood too.
Over the last few seasons, everyone has had something to say about Simmons regarding his issues and his situation with the 76ers. At the moment, now that he’s looking better, everyone has transitioned to being excited about Simmons being able to play healthy and productive basketball again.
It’s safe to say that Simmons has been one of the most polarizing players in the NBA in recent memory. What matters now is that Simmons is back to his old self and has made quite the comeback from all of the ailments that he has dealt with to get to this point.
NBA Hall-of-Famer Kevin Garnett is happy for Simmons and wanted to congratulate him:
“Shoutout to Ben Simmons, man. You look great out there. You look like the old Ben Simmons. He looks motivated, he looks very much into it. He looks lively, he looks young. Just making dimes, shot a couple of fadeaways. Just great to see, bro. Keep going Ben. Real (expletive). Sometimes, you have hurdles in this (expletive) and you figure it out. I’m glad you figured it out. Keep going. Salute to you, my dude.”
Shout out @BenSimmons25 you took last year and all the criticism like a g and jumped back in your bag. Keep going bro ✊🏾💯https://t.co/0I5hKmMWsD pic.twitter.com/Htx3oQwxAW
