Ben “best defender in the NBA” Simmons LOCKING UP Damian Lillard: a thread
Way to stay in front of him, Ben!
Clamps!
That’s how we fight through screens in philly!
Here’s another clip of him getting blown by like he was standing still
Great Ben Simmons D causes Dame to miss shot
Tobias Harris saves DPOY Ben Simmons
Great 1 on 1 defense by the consensus best defender in the league!
Slithers right through screens!
So tenacious through screens once again!!
Bonus clip & my personal favorite, Rodney Hood lighting Simmons up like a Christmas tree
*end of thread*
Ben Simmons did not lock up Damian Lillard, he got beat off the dribble and saved by extremely aggressive help defense (that often left blazer shooters open), and an “off night” from Dame wherein he “only” scored 30 on 21 shots
