Goran Dragic trolled Ben Simmons on Twitter during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics on Thursday.
Simmons had an embarrassing game in the Sixers’ 108-103 loss. He scored just one point on 0-for-4 shooting from the field and sat for a good part of the game.
Dragic, whose Miami Heat lost to Philly in the first round of the playoffs, sent the following tweet during Game 2:
ROY
— Goran Dragić (@Goran_Dragic) May 4, 2018
The tweet says “ROY” and contains a spider emoji. Decoding the tweet, that’s Dragic’s way of saying Donovan Mitchell, whose nickname is “Spida”, should win Rookie of the Year.
The Rookie of the Year debate has been a heated one over the past month, with Mitchell even taking a shot at Simmons. Now he has his colleagues doing the talking for him.
