Philadelphia 76ers youngster Ben Simmons has heard enough of the noise heading into Game 3 of their playoff series against the Nets in Brooklyn Thursday night.
Having been called average by a certain Nets player and with fans in the Big Apple trolling him, Simmons wanted to make a point in the Mecca of the basketball world.
While Game 3 has yet to be decided, ther reigning NBA Rookie of the Year sure did put his mark on the Barclays Center.
Just check out this emphatic putback slam from Simmons late in the opening half.
The dunk could probably be heard all the way on Madison Avenue. Simmons growl after the fact? We’re sure they heard it back in Philly. Nets fans sure the heck did.
Simmons finished the opening two quarters with 14 points and five assists.
