With some players, it's easy to say that basketball was in their blood. This is true of Ben Simmons. When Simmons was just a few months old, his father was already coaching basketball. By the time Simmons was a few years old, he had already learned how to dribble a ball. By the time he was ten years old, Simmons wasn't just playing basketball. He was also playing tennis, rugby, bodysurfing in the ocean, and taking jogs with his dog Jasper. While he was growing up, Simmons had a poster of NBA superstar Allen Iverson on his wall. With every record Simmons broke, it became more and more likely that Ben Simmons poster would be on the walls of other little boys!
