Big Ben doesn’t waste any time warming himself to the Phillydelfs. On his birthday yesterday, first the AI jersey-Bentley combo, an end-to-end homage to jack-asstic millionaire universally beloved by the city, and then an apparent trip to, um, the Cherry Hill Mall (there are 6,000 places I could envision spending my birthday, and the Cherry Hill Mall, surprisingly, isn’t on the list)…

… and then, rocking a Sixers hat, a late-night bump-in (hang out?) with Fletcher Cox, who looks oh so tiny next to Big Ben:

Few things:

1. Ben Simmons, the 6’10 frame and Bentley aside, looks like he’s 12 and just saw his first boobical because his dad lifted the parental filter on his AOL account.
2. Rarely do we find an athlete wearing their own team’s colors out on the town. We had a Sixers jersey and hat from Ben yesterday. I like it.
3. Ditto for Cox, with the Phillies throwback jawn. You’re looking at two of, if not the two best, athletes in the city right herrrrrre.
