Something is wrong with Ben Simmons. His basketball abilities seemingly have completely left his body. His game looks broken. So broken that now he’s even completely air-balling layups.

You have to understand the incredible lack of basketball skill it takes to air ball a layup. That’s the kind of stuff that happens well before the game when a select group of VIP fans are invited onto the court to “shoot around”. You normally see a few bricks and air balls in those situations, but even kids as early as elementary school can figure out how to make a layup.

An NBA player air balling a wide-open, uncontested layup, though? That’s basically unheard of. You need to see it to believe it.
