On Sunday night, the Philadelphia 76ers lost to the Atlanta Hawks in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals and a large part of that was the play (or lack thereof) of 76ers F Ben Simmons.
Late in the game, Simmons passed up an easy dunk to pass the ball to a teammate and social media exploded on him.
Following the game, NBA on TNT analyst Shaquille O’Neal absolutely destroyed Simmons.
“If he was in my locker room I would have knocked his ass out,” O’Neal said.
