Ben Simmons is quickly becoming one of the more recognizable faces in the NBA today, but one bobblehead manufacturer obviously didn’t get the memo.
Over the weekend, Yahoo! Sports shared an image of an eBay listing for a purported bobblehead of Simmons selling for $72.99. Unfortunately, the bobblehead looked more like Eddie Murphy than it did the Philadelphia 76ers star. Have a look:

Josh Ellis of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that the bobblehead was made by Forever Collectables, a company that has also produced Philadelphia Eagles parade items featuring the likes of Chris Long and Jason Kelce.
As for the 22-year-old Simmons, he is coming off a season where he won Rookie of the Year honors and helped lead the up-and-coming Sixers to a second-round playoff berth. When it comes to bobbleheads though, his is probably worse than this one we saw in the past of another NBA star.
