Simmons was just 21 when he became the first NBA rookie since Oscar Robertson 57 years earlier to average 15 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
He was largely responsible for the Eagles having the luxury of facing the Falcons and Vikings at the Linc.
Coliseum, Wentz willed himself to throw a touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery on a knee that had already been torn up.
And when you look at 2019, it wasn’t a great year for the Eagles or for Wentz, but that team was dead at 5-7 with a month to go, and Wentz put an injured, battered team on his back and led them to a 4-0 record and a division title the last month with 7 TDs, 0 INTs.
And even last year, when the interceptions and fumbles and losses piled up, he kept firing.
This isn’t a superstar in a slump, this is a superstar who either consciously or unconsciously decided to stop shooting, and the bigger the games got, the higher the stakes, the less he shot.
I can’t imagine anybody expects future greatness from Simmons, whether the 76ers trade him or he winds up back in Philly.
