It’s clear that love isn’t lost between Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Simmons was selected first overall in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Sixers and was a three-time All-Star. But as injuries mounted and Simmons took time off to care for his mental health, the relationship quickly soured.
Simmons was traded to the Brooklyn Nets in a blockbuster trade for James Harden two years ago, and has been booed every time he returns to Philadelphia since.

One might imagine he loved every moment of Boston’s 112-88 Game 7 victory over the Celtics against the 76ers, but apparently he did.
Simmons posted a shot of the game on Instagram near the end of the fourth quarter with a glass of wine in his living room.
The Celtics led 107-78 with 3 minutes and 24 seconds remaining before Simmons took the picture.
