Ben Simmons continues to be bashful when it comes to even attempt a 3 pointer during a meaningful game, which seems odd to say in the trifecta happy new NBA pioneered by shooters like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
No matter what the analytics say negatively about taking 2’s Ben Simmons has remained content with his lack of outside shooting and it’s anyone’s guess as to when he’ll knock one down from three similar to his much-celebrated pre-season make from behind the arc.
While the basketball world waits to see if this dangerous young player for the Philadelphia 76ers can become more dangerous with the development of an outside shot, a few business are getting in on the fun.
Double Nickel Brewing Company based in Pennsauken, New Jersey as well as Keg and Kitchen in Haddon Township have pledged free beer from their locked mini-fridge upon a successful 3pt shot from Ben Simmons.
Brian Needham had this to say regarding the promotion,
“An idea came up just kept adding to it. It was sort of a joke at first but then we were like, ‘Wait a minute, we should definitely do this and go all out.” “It kind of snowballed, ‘let me see if i can get a little mini-fridge and do a spoof of what Bud Light did with the Browns?!” And then we did.”
If the opening game of the 2019 season was any indication of Ben Simmons prospects of nailing a 3pt shot in a game that counts, fans may want to bring their beer money if they’d like a cold one as they watch the game.
