Ben Simmons is one of the most controversial players in the NBA, and as a result, has been plastered everywhere including on “Knicks Twitter.”

The New York Knicks and Simmons now have something in common, they were both eliminated from the 2021 NBA playoffs at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks. With his Philadelphia 76ers’ exit from play, NBA fans and media have once again risen from the woodwork to criticize the 6’11” point guard.

For years now, the fit of Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid has been questioned, and the Sixers eventually fall short in their chase for a championship.
