Ben Simmons' incredible highlight went viral in the Nets-Celtics game

The Brooklyn Nets met the Celtics in Boston on Friday evening.

Despite a competitive game, the Nets lost by a score of 108-104 (in overtime).

Ben Simmons had a productive night with eight points, seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal while shooting 4/6 from the field in 27 minutes of playing time.

He also had an incredible highlight that garnered a lot of views on social media.

@MR_STiXX: “Sorry, Benjamin…”

@jessbert20: “Cavs are the best in the league. Lmao Celtics are getting blown away by Ben Simmons.”

@Dee_Hawkie: “I never question his abilities, I question his confidence/aggressiveness.”

@bananamanaged: “If Ben can stay healthy, he can be a fantastic 6th man for any team that needs a pass-first PG.”

Simmons is now averaging 6.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game while shooting 62.5% from the field in seven games.

After only appearing in 15 games last season, the three-time NBA All-Star looks healthy.

The Nets play their next game on Saturday evening when they visit Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ohio.

Last year, they were the No. 11 seed in the Eastern Conference with a 32-50 record, missing the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2018 (six years ago).
