Brooklyn Nets fans have a lot of things to get excited about after seeing Ben Simmons' offseason transformation photos. This is under the premise, however, that you've never fallen victim to this same ploy in the past. The mean streets of Twitter, however, just aren't buying it.

On Monday, Simmons posted a couple of photos of himself on his Instagram wherein it looked like he was putting in work in the offseason. He was topless in his photos too, as he showed off his ripped physique. For Nets fans who have not experienced a Ben Simmons offseason in the past, this set of photos are definitely enough to hype them up for what could be a very promising season ahead for the former Rookie of the Year winner.

At this point, the fans are clearly tired of all the offseason hype surrounding this man, and they would much rather just see these improvements translate to a big season for Simmons. You can be sure that this is exactly what Nets fans are praying for at the moment.
