BEN SIMMONS OVERLOOKED FOR NBA ALL STAR GAME

Aussie basketballer Ben Simmons won’t feature in this season’s NBA All Star game.
The 21 year old rookie narrowly missed out on a place in the Eastern Conference starting line-up, after finishing third in voting conducted by fans and the media.
Today it was announced he’d been overlooked for a spot on the bench, with coaches picking a handful of more experienced players, despite the fact Simmons has higher numbers of points, rebounds and assists than most of them.
