Simmons jokes he'd crash Eagles-Browns game for billion RTs

Ben Simmons/Twitter

You're a sly one, Ben Simmons. That must be why the Philadelphia 76ers drafted you first overall.

Sure, maybe you would have run on the field during the Philadelphia Eagles-Cleveland Browns game at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday had your photo post received an astronomical one billion retweets. You wouldn't want anyone to think you're not a man of your word.

However, you only have 192,000 Twitter followers, and, frankly, one-third of the users you asked for retweets use the application only once a month. Also, the most retweeted tweet of 2015 only garnered 827,000, which isn't even close to your asking price.

This was never going to happen.

Darn.

It looks like you and teammate Joel Embiid still had a good time, though.

Great win today for the Eagles!!!!! Exciting times ahead for the city of Philadelphia #TrustTheProcess #RIPHARAMBE
