Somebody just made a Ben Simmons fishing highlight video

Let’s just say Simmons is keeping it reel.

As expected, fans took the bait and shared their thoughts.

“Just another example of how he’s right-handed, LMAO. So crazy to me that he shot with the wrong hand his whole life,” said @jeffmckinnon93.

“He really retired to become a fisherman?” added @yourgirlShu.

“From No. 1 pick to catching fish instead of Ls. Still getting that max money though,” wrote @fistfightreels.

“I know it’s easy to meme on the dude, but I think this is a bad-ass thing to do after not being in the NBA. Much respect to Ben Simmons,” commented @QualityEntropy.

“At this point, leave him alone. Not even the worst pick we had in a 12-month period,” urged @porterbump9420.

Fishing can be a meditative experience, and perhaps, it allows the 29-year-old Simmons to feel at peace with what happened to his once-bright career.

Simmons, a three-time All-Star, has not played since the first round of the playoffs in 2025 between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets.
