Ben Simmons drained a three in practice, so of course Sixers fans went crazy

The Sixers are finally back practicing as a team down in the NBA's Disney bubble. After going four months without seeing their favorite players on the floor together, Sixers fans probably would've been happy to watch a 10-minute video of eblow jumpers and bounce passes.

Instead, they were given the holy grail of Sixers practice clips: a Ben Simmons three.

The fateful shot, a catch-and-shoot three from the left wing, comes about 24 seconds into a video of practice highlights:

You've got to love the team casually dropping that clip into the compilation, as if it's just another shot and not the most polarizing argument in the organization's orbit.

Of note, Simmons' two in-NBA game threes were taken from the respective corners, while his preseason three against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions came from the opposite wing, off the dribble. So this is a unique shot from Simmons, and it looked good.

Now, you might think that Sixers fans, hardened after multiple offseasons of "this is the year Simmons shoots threes!" chatter, would avoid overreacting to the shot.

You... would be wrong:

It's fair to say basketball fans are excited to watch some basketball.

With Simmons heading to the power forward position in the Sixers' new-look starting lineup later this month, perhaps he'll decide to go crazy and test out a new approach to his shot selection, too. It's... possible?

Or maybe he will never change. We'll see.
