On February 20, Beijing time, according to US media reports, Nets Daily listed many similarities between Simmons and Owen, and believed that the two would become teammates in the dark. The specifics are as follows:
First, both were born in Melbourne, Australia;
Second, both fathers traveled to Australia from the South Bronx of New York to play;
Third, the two returned to the United States to play in childhood;
Fourth, both of their high school coaches were Kevin Boyle;
Fifth, both are draft winners, Irving is the 2011 winner, and Simmons is the 2016 champion;
Sixth, both live in New Jersey;
Seventh, the two are now teammates, both playing for the Nets.
Since Irving and Simmons entered the NBA, there have been constant doubts about them, and Irving has been ridiculed by many fans for his grotesque behavior. Simmons, on the other hand, did not play out the game because of his temper with the 76ers, and was also misunderstood by many people.
Therefore, whether it is personality or past experiences, Simmons and Owen can be said to be very similar! Now, on February 11, 2022, with a trade between the Nets and the 76ers involving Harden and Simmons, Simmons was traded from the 76ers to the Nets and became Irving's teammate. So what will happen to the two next? Let's wait and see!
