Sixers No. 1 draft pick Ben Simmons posted a moving to his cousin Zachary Simmons, who was killed in a hit-and-run early Saturday in Hoboken.
The death of Zachary Simmons, who was in attendance as a guest of the LSU product at the NBA Draft, certainly casts a pall over what should be one of the happiest moments of Simmons' life.
Hearing the news this morning is a reminder to never forget the important things in life.
