The stats don't lie in his rookie play off series, the best since Micheal Jordan, air jordan air simmons, is our aussie the best ever one day he's living up to his airness.. The hype is huge, not bad for a aussie kid from working class mining town Newcastle..
Kid who's had plenty of the right connections , no doubting he’s got talent but please don’t use the "working class town" term, he’s had a red carpet pass right through lol

Lol, who is Mich' Eal anyways.........?
Ben has had a red carpet ride for an Aussie, not so much when you consider the top US kids and how they are treated, however if you are that good, as they say, you can write your own cheques!

Jordan was top scorer as a 2 guard in the league for what 6 seasons ? before his team made their first Championship final series, Earvin Johnson as a tall point guard who made all around him better, and who made championship final in his first year ( I think) is a more suitable comparison.
Please,please please, let's settle down, superb 2nd season but MJ. Long way to go.
Both Exum and Simmons did have good connections but that is life.

couldn't MJ shoot?
Magic seems a better comparison
At 21 or how ever old he is, he is already the best Basketballer Australia has preduced. Period.
He is not the most credentialed or most successful or had the best career.... that will no doubt come later.
But as best player/talent & biggest impact on the biggest stage.
Its him.
Yep.
Eric the Eel was a swimmer and maybe related to Mich the Eal.
Kendall Jenner? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
By all means hit it but please quit it before the next season starts

For some reason I keep reading this as "Michael Jackson"
and getting a mental image of Simmons moonwalking
