There’s been no shortage of Ben Simmons news so far this week, and we’re not stopping now. Last night on NBC’s Tonight Show, Simmons joined Jimmy Fallon and talked about his life and being the number one overall draft pick in tomorrow’s NBA Draft. They also shared a cheesesteak together, courtesy of Dalessandro’s, with Simmons sporting one of the ugliest sweaters I’ve ever seen.
When Simmons came out, The Roots, whose roots are in Philly [you’re welcome], played the Sixers old school theme song for him. It was lit.
Here’s the entire segment below.
Speaking of his sweater… who wore it better?
