The Brooklyn Nets, like the rest of the NBA, are just a week away from tipping off their 2023-2024 campaign. The preseason will be wrapping up before October 24 and the Nets have one more warmup before the real games begin. While the team might not be in contention to reach the NBA Finals this time, the playoffs are still a realistic goal. Brooklyn has many solid players on their roster. Mikal Bridges will be a name to watch as a potential all-star as he is now the focal point. However, one of the names that the media will have under a constant microscope is Ben Simmons.
Ever since his mental collapse in the 2021 East Semi-Finals against the Atlanta Hawks, Ben has been a shell of himself. He still has plenty to prove, even at this point in his career. The former number-one overall pick does not have LeBron James-like expectations, but he needs to prove that he can still be playable and make some sort of impact. Ben has been subject to many jokes, but there are still plenty of people out there who love watching him play.

He shows off his tattoo that is Ben Simmons and his reaction is priceless. For the commitment, he gave the fan a shirt and he was ecstatic.
