Watch: Ben Simmons hits three-pointer during scrimmage

Stop what you're doing. Prepare yourselves for the unthinkable.

Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers drained a three-point shot during a game. That's right. The 24-year-old known for being allergic to shooting beyond the arc hit nothing but net on a three.

Yes, it happened during a meaningless scrimmage versus the Memphis Grizzlies, and Simmons was left wide open for the attempt. Nevertheless, it's a massive achievement for a young player who has hit only two of 23 three-pointers during his NBA career.

Simmons made headlines last November when he converted a three-pointer for the first time as a pro.

Keep shooting, Ben. You can only make the shots you take.
