Fans did not have it as NBA star Ben Simmons reportedly withdraws from his position on Australia's Olympic Games team.
Daily Mail reported that the athlete received backlash for his "weak" and "underwhelming" play during the Atlanta VS Philadelphia game.
Simmons released a public statement about his decision to back out from Australia's offer to play for them in Tokyo.
Ben reasoned that he would instead focus on "individual skill development" over the summer.
However, shortly after his statement, the NBA reporter was seen in London, leaving a restaurant a few minutes apart from Maya Jama.

Fans of Ben Simmons have taken their divided opinions on the current relationship between the NBA player and his new lover onto Twitter.

However, not everyone agrees with this method of approach and demands Simmons off the Philadelphia team.
"If I was @sixers I'm trading Ben Simmons regardless of if he improves his shooting," another fan tweets.
If I was @sixers I’m trading Ben Simmons regardless of if he improves his shooting. Bruh has had 9 games scoring less than 10 points in the Playoffs in 4 years now. That’s garbage when you’re paying him 30 Mil a year.

On behalf of Australia, I'd like to apologise to @Chunkz for Ben Simmons stealing his girl.
