[Saba Sports News] While Donald Trump faced real bullets on Saturday night, Ben Simmons was catching metaphorical strays.
Simmons trended on X following the shooting at Trump’s rally in Butler, PA. A dark joke compared the shooter, who missed Trump, to Simmons, known for his reluctance and inaccuracy with long-range shots.
Despite being a 3-time All-Star and a 56.0 percent field goal shooter, Simmons is infamous for avoiding long-range attempts and experiencing shooting anxiety.
Unfortunately, Simmons’ reputation as a hesitant shooter has preceded him, leading to this unflattering comparison.
