Fans seem unimpressed with the game of Ben Simmons

During the second quarter of the Brooklyn Nets vs Toronto Raptors game, Ben Simmons did something that could have been one of the game’s highlights, but he had something else on his mind. Simmons dribbled the ball through the defenders and was in position for a highlight dunk, but instead, he tossed the ball to Nic Claxton. Claxton then went for a sledgehammer dunk.
