It only took James Harden one game to make as many 3-pointers as Ben Simmons and 76ers fans were so petty about it

Let’s start this off with a simple fact. Ben Simmons made five career 3-pointers with the Philadelphia 76ers over the course of five years with the team.

Another fact. James Harden just played his first game as a Philadelphia 76er and has already made 5 3-point shots as the team’s new point guard. That means it only took one game for James Harden to make as many 3-pointers as Simmons did as a 76er.

One game. Just one. And, look, it totally makes sense. Simmons is not a shooter. James Harden is. So, of course, this would happen at some point.
