Ben Simmons’ NBA career has been something of a whirlwind thus far.
He was supposed to be the future in Philadelphia, said to be part of the “process” for the 76ers.
Things did not exactly pan out as expected, and now Simmons finds himself on the Brooklyn Nets, hoping to recapture the magic.
After one of the Nets’ recent preseason games, a video surfaced of a postgame interaction between Simmons and a fan.
It was revealed by the Nets’ official Twitter via NBA Central that a fan tattooed Simmons’ face on their body.

After seeing this, Simmons felt obligated to give the fan a signed, game-worn jersey.
It’s not every day that you see yourself in someone else’s tattoo, and Simmons seemed touched, yet a bit shocked by this fan’s antics.
Regardless of Simmons’ feelings on the situation, this fan walked home with a new piece of Simmons memorabilia to add to their collection.
This fan might be excited about the Nets for the upcoming season, especially now that they have a memento from the team.
Will the Nets’ on-court product be as exciting as advertised?
The Nets finished the 2022-2023 season with a 45-37 record, which was good enough for a playoff berth.
While they might have made the playoffs, it was a short-lived affair, as they lost in a four-game sweep to the 76ers in the first round.
Simmons and the rest of the team have received praise throughout the offseason.
Many analysts have claimed that Simmons is ready to compete at a high level, bringing the Nets on a deep postseason run.
