Over the weekend, Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons made sure we know where he stands when it comes to this year’s Rookie of the Year race.
“Who would I pick? Me, 100 percent,” Simmons said in a recent interview with ESPN. “I think I have been playing solid all year. If you look at the numbers, you will see. People who know the game know.” When asked if any rookies impressed Simmons this season, he answered “none.”
Utah Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell, Simmons’ only real competition for the award, took exception with Simmons’ blind spot, and the two stars have been beefing ever since. First, Mitchell tweeted a Waka Flocka Flame GIF in response to the slight from Simmons.

MITCHELL
Both should be co-Rookie of the year.. both are exceptional, everyone goes home happy. Easiest solution.
Donovan was humble and was being nice until Simmons started being a dick
i have a philly bias but it is hard not to pick the better scorer. mitchell has an advantage.
Being in the league a year more is advantage. You build chemistry with team mates you get to know the sytem get the feeling of being around the NBA. They need to change the rules
Kuzman ain't in they league lol plus he's a couple years older
Mitchell all day I love this guy
Mitchell was eating hot pockets in his dorm room around this time last year. While Simmons had a whole year of Nba Training and a lot of time on the Bench to learn the game. Mitchell should be the Roty just by being a real rook and leading his team to a playoff in the west.
Take this L for your interpretation of Blakes tweet 👎
Natasha is rookie of the year
Mitchell is a real rookie tho 🤷🏿♂️
Just do like baseball do, problem solved 👌👌👌
Complex is the worst. They don't even explain things like they said Mitchell did a troll job but didn't say exactly what he said.
The only important thing from this video was seeing what Blake griffins parents looked like
Will smith,Bradley cooper, Sylvester Stallone, wilt Chamberlain, meek mill, basically what I'm tryna say is Ben is R.O.y
Simmons #philly 🙌🏽
Y'all just butt hurt because Ben Simmons is a real threat and is definitely going to win ROTY. You can't hate the stats
I don’t know who really should get it, all these rookies are nasty
I got why y'all trynna give Mitchell ROTY, he got a exciting story. Came out of nowhere, amazing highlights, definitly a future star. But there's no valid argument that mitchell is better than Ben.
Everybody recognize his greatness, that's not about that
Impressive troll job…lol…staying high…
Co rookie of the year
Ben Simmons will get it, he’s the better player and being injured is never an advantage
