Being in the NBA grants you almost instant fame, but it comes with its fair share of critics as well. Ben Simmons is no stranger to that fact.
Despite being one of the best young players in the game, Simmons gets a lot of heat from fans for his shooting struggles, off-court work-ethic, and his failure to help the Sixers meet their high expectations.
Even the news of a shoulder injury didn’t stop the haters from chirping and Liv has had enough.
On Twitter, Liv Alice Simmons, Ben’s sister, came to his defense with a profanity-laced attack against the trolls.

Yeah, she didn’t bother to mince words here. And, truth be told, she has a right to be angry.
Simmons is in the midst of dealing with a very serious injury right now, and it’s hardly the time to make jokes or criticize the limits of his game. Here, she is just defending her brother, even if it’s a rather vulgar way to do it.
While the timetable of Simmons’ injury has yet to be determined, the feeling is that he will miss some significant time.
Our best wishes go out to the Sixers, Simmons, and his family as they receive the news of what could be a season-ending injury.
