Australia seems like a lovely place. Meat pies, 'roos, and giant murals of everyone's favorite 6-foot-10 point guard.
Ben Simmons shared images on his Instagram today of a beautiful mural in his homeland of Melbourne, Australia with a heartfelt note to go along with it.
"WOW 😮This is amazing... I appreciate all the love I get from everyone back home. You guys already know Australia will always be home for me and I will continue to do my best to represent us Aussies the right way! 🇦🇺"
The piece appears to be done by Lynch Melbourne who has done previous works of Allen Iverson and Michael Jordan. Here's what they have to say about the Ben work:
The future MVP of the league and the best basketball prospect to ever come out of Australia.
Born and bred in Melbourne, the Lynch mob have painted a massive mural of the legend in his honour.
Its located on 22 Chapel St Windsor.
PS: If you're reading this Adam Silver, make this guy a fkn All Star next year. Cheers.
