Turning twenty-one years old is a big deal!
It's such a big deal that some people don't even remember it. Ugh.
Kidding!
Anyway, Ben Simmons turned 21 years old today and to celebrate, he got a fun tweet from the greatest player in the NBA and likely Future Sixer LeBron James.
Happy Bday to my lil bro @BenSimmons25!!! That boi 21 now. Uh-Oh!! Let's go have a Shirley temple with a twist. 😂😂🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️— LeBron James (@KingJames) July 20, 2017

Complete coverage of the Philadelphia 76ers and their rivals in the NBA from NBC Sports Philadelphia.
The Shirley Temple line really made it. Such a nice touch and a clear afirmation that LeBron will be joining Simmons on the Sixers for the 2018-2019 seasons, yes?
Happy birthday, @BenSimmons25! pic.twitter.com/Ex122iRuLB— Philadelphia 76ers (@sixers) July 20, 2017
In all seriousness this flirty little bromance between LBJ and Ben may be nothing more than good marketing from their business partners, but it's fun to joke/dream about regardless.
