In preparation for his expected arrival as the savior in Philadelphia, Ben Simmons got a cheesesteak from Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night.
“This is from Dalessandro’s, this is in North Philly,” Fallon told Simmons, who was reportedly told that the Sixers will select him at No. 1.
“I could live in Philly,” Simmons said afte taking a bite of the steak.
Asked if he knows where he’s going, Simmons said, “Find out on Thursday.”
Simmons, 19, also confirmed to Fallon that his Nike sneaker deal is worth $20 million. (Yes, I was wrong when I reported it might be worth $100 million.)
“You have more millions than you have years of your life, that’s unbelievable,” Fallon said.
Simmons, who has signed with LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul, also said he consults the newly minted NBA champion for advice.
“Whenever I need advice, I can go to him,” Simmons said. “He’s been through a lot, experienced a lot of things that I probably will go through so he’s a great person to reach out to.”
