As it turns out, it's great to be on the good side of Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons. Even more so if you're the brother of the Sixers point guard.
Simmons just surprised his brother, Sean, with an epic birthday gift: a brand new Audi sedan. Here's a look at the awesome moment Ben showed his brother his awesome surprise present via Instagram Live (h/t Bleacher Report on Twitter):

Ben left his brother in tears after the gift, which the former seemed to enjoy. The Sixers stud even celebrated the fact that he was able to make Sean cry on IG Live, which delivered a bit of comic relief in an otherwise endearing encounter. Way to spoil the moment, Ben.
Then again, Simmons can do pretty much whatever he wants after he spent that amount of money for a birthday present. It seems like he even had a few upgrades made on the car, which included a couple of baby-proofing updates.
As for his basketball, Simmons continues to quarantine under the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Along with Philadelphia teammate Joel Embiid, Simmons was forced to sit out the All-Star Game after they were both required to undergo the NBA's contact tracing efforts. As such, Simmons won't be able to play for the Sixers' back-to-back set against the Chicago Bulls and the Washington Wizards on Thursday and Friday, respectively. So long as he continues to return a negative test result, the 24-year-old should be cleared to play for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
