Brooklyn Nets fans are giving it to Ben Simmons hard.
A photo circulated on Twitter Thursday that shows a mock missing person poster on a post in Brooklyn. The poster features Simmons’ face and declares his jumpshot to be missing.

That’s harsh. Simmons’ outside shooting has long been a question and is widely seen as a weakness in his game. The poster also says under identifying characteristics “just average” regarding Simmons, which is a reference to Jared Dudley’s comments.
Nets fans have developed a reputation for their trolling ways and continue to live up to that billing.
And if this poster looks familiar, it’s because Nets fans did the same to Deron Williams five years ago when he played for the team.
Of course, Simmons ended up sticking it to them in Game 3. He had 31 points on 11/13 shooting with 9 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in the 131-115 win.
