Julius Erving praises Ben Simmons: He is once-in-a-decade, maybe once-in-a-lifetime-type player

Julius Erving praised Ben Simmons before the 76ers’ win against the Nets.

Per ESPN, "Once-in-a-decade, maybe once-in-a-lifetime-type player," Erving said. "He's able to make everybody better immediately each and every time down the floor, guys are spotting up or looking to cut or keying off of triggers that come out of his handling skills."

"Sometimes it looks like he's got eyes in the back of his head," Erving said, "because he sees and feels one of his guys making a run to the hoop or spotting up at certain positions. That's just a gifted player that we are very fortunate to have on our team."
