Count Kobe Bryant to the list of names who thinks Ben Simmons needs to add a jump shot.
The Lakers legend sat down with The Herald Sun and discussed why the 76ers star HAS to get a jump shot.
“He’s got to get a jump shot,’’ Bryant said.
“It sounds stupid and all that but I’m dead ass serious.
“Because if not, he will regret it when his career is over.’’
Bryant then said, in only Kobe Bryant fashion, what Simmons should be doing to right now to make sure he gets that shot.
He said improving his shooting skills should be Simmons’ No. 1 priority — and said Simmons should be waking up at 1am this off-season to go and practice shooting for 10 hours a day.
The mamba is right in every way. The way the game is going now, you need to be able to shoot well in order to have maximum success in the league. Or AKA, taking down the juggernaut of the Golden State Warriors. Until he does get that shot though, the 76ers won’t be the kings of the Eastern Conference, nevertheless kings of the NBA.
Plus, are we sure leaning on an injury prone Embiid while Simmons continues to not shoot from 3 is a good idea?
Flip the page for Simmons shooting 3s, trust me it is hilarious.
