damn looks like Luka taunts him afterwards but Ben has his back turned

Luka was so annoyed 😂
Acrobatic-Dog7044
I swear he’s only a 35% 3 point shooter but it feels like it always goes in when he needs it to
EddyTreeNJ
That should’ve been foul on Luca he pushed Ben’s arms away

Insanely cool camera angle to see a play like this from
SwiggySiggyDoc
He back defensively
BetweenCoffeeNSleep
Outstanding defense. Luka hit a very tough shot, after a lot of effort and clock time. He was dribbling for a long time. The rest of the team’s engagement tanks if you get too much of this.

You really gotta give Ben credit to be back out there and giving it his all
The dude got more hate than maybe any nba player ever and that would be really hard to move forward but hopeful it can push him forward
If he had a solid jump shot he really could be a top 10 pg in the next few years
Folk-Herro
Just gotta tell him “good shot” and bet that he won’t do it again

I love his defense fr I’ll say that. His passing used to be fire too
embiid0for11w0pts
Simmons is the only defender I can think of that reliably gives Luka trouble. He’s a menace. Fantastic D. Fouls from both but good no call
Derk08
I love how it looks like for a brief moment both players stop to look and complain to the ref and then just immediately play on lol
Organic-Feeling-3523
Brutal lol

Lukas body language is the exact way I feel when I watch him play basketball.
_coed_
Last season ben gets called for 6 fouls in this one possession.
angel2timez
Looking at the ref and those body movements waiting for the foul ruined it for me lol Luka is so gooood, you dont need the ref baby
LividClient
I love Luka but it’s so annoying how he constantly looking for fouls and bitching at the refs

I think I’m in the minority of Ben Simmons believers. I’m not saying back to where he was, but at least a good starter in the NBA.

Luka legit has some of the best handles of all time

The modern Larry bird at it again

Love this angle + the way Ben was playing. Absolutely smothering Luka the entire time but ofc It’s *Luka* lol. Really hope this year is the year Ben ups his game. Rooting hard for him rn

Great offense beats great defense, a demonstration

Ben Simmons plays smothering defense on Luka Doncic, who commits a clear offensive foul and hits the triple anyway.
BackendSpecialist
He messed up when he gave him space. Should’ve stayed on him.
ShowdownValue
Did he call glass?
Stepfish35
On one of those shots he forced a switch from Ben, and ended up with Mikal Bridges as the on ball defender so he’s barely in a better situation – didn’t matter. My god he is good.

Four seconds into the video, it looks like Simmons foot and ankle touch the floor. Is that normal? If not, why didn’t his body react to it?
Gristle__McThornbody
Can’t defend that any better honestly, unless you are Christian Wood. But glad to see Simmons back. You can tell he is really digging in on defense in that video clip. Hopefully he continues to stay healthy.
believemedude
Luka is so good. I wish he’d stop complaining to officials 24/7
Revolutionary_Fig912
Luka is such a bitch when he plays but he’s so good
steveeeeeeee
Ben Simmons PR group is that you???

Ben Simmons out a month for mental health after this one.
EnoughLawfulness3163
He’s not the most accurate 3 point shooter, but I feel like he’s equally accurate no matter how difficult the shot

Why does he have to complain every other time. He’s too good to do this every game lol

To Ben Simmons’ credit Luka fouled. You can’t just throw someone’s arm out of the way.
edmoore3
He put his whole benussy into that one

Whos doing the camera work? Pretty cinematic

Ben does reach. It’s a foul but it makes for a good clip in the end.
