The NBA draft is just one day away and recently, the projected number one draft pick, Ben Simmons, visited The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to share his thoughts on the draft and talk about some of the advice he received from Lebron James.
It's an exciting time for Simmons, who is half Australian and half American. Simmons was born in Australia and his father played professionally in the country. Simmons wanted to make the move to the U.S. because he said the level of competition is much higher than it is back home. He wants to play against the best and be the best.
The Roots are excited that Philadelphia has the number one pick and Fallon put Simmons on the spot to decide where he might go, however, we will all have to wait until the draft tomorrow.
After sharing a cheesesteak, Simmons told Fallon about his $20 million contract with Nike. Simmons is involved with Lebron James' management and he said that James also gave him a ton of different advice.
Simmons spoke the world about James and Fallon joked about James' draft day suit to make sure Simmons makes the right choice in attire for draft night.
