The website announced on Wednesday an all-new way for collectors to acquire the next Cool Cats Moment reward which features the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/philadelphia-76ers/roster">Philadelphia 76ers</a> superstar. Introducing the first-ever <a href="https://blog.nbatopshot.com/posts/showcase-quest?fbclid=IwAR0sYeA9fyo94V9DSQM42VSku7nt2_6XBxVBB3Mz0ag3528BWq08KnGqVaM">Showcase Quest</a>:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Calling all NBA Top Shot Collectors 🗣</p><p>Join the FIRST Showcase Quest 🙌🏼</p><p>More details: <a href="https://t.co/ldgDn2en3A" target="_blank">https://t.co/ldgDn2en3A</a> <a href="https://t.co/0CfQiHmooK" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/0CfQiHmooK</a></p><p>— NBA Top Shot (@nbatopshot) <a href="https://twitter.com/nbatopshot/status/1392559433331269632?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 12, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>If you’re hearing this for the first time, then take a breath and keep cool. Let’s all go through what this Showcase Quest really is.</p><p>This new event within the Top Shot platform is basically a hybrid between the usual Challenge and the Showcase Contest, which was introduced rather recently. This time, collectors will be asked to acquire a certain number of Moments and with a reward in the end, just like any Challenge. But, to mimic what a Showcase Challenge is, the platform gives the users more leeway in picking which Moments they want to acquire and include in their Showcase. Your Showcase, your call.</p><p>But for your Showcase to be eligible for this event, you’d need to collect nine of these Moments:</p><ul><li>Any three (3) unique Moments from the Seeing Stars Set</li><li>Any three (3) unique Dunk Moments by a Center*</li><li>Any three (3) unique Assist Moments by a Point Guard*</li></ul><p>*<i>You can filter the Marketplace by player position to make sure your players fall under the Center/Point Guard category</i></p><p>Collectors are given until May 19 at 10 AM PDT to complete their Showcase. In the end, Top Shot will be minting the Ben Simmons Cool Cats Moment to the Edition Size of the number of collectors who successfully complete the Showcase Quest before the deadline. Additionally, users must include the <b>#Quest </b>in the Showcase Title for the actual showcase to be eligible.</p><p>Unfortunately, the Ben Simmons Cool Cats Moment will not have a Challenge Reward indicator (that small red star) since this isn’t necessarily a Challenge. But, just like any Cool Cats Moment, this will be part of the Cool Cats Master Challenge, and getting your hands on an elusive Moment from a three-time All-Star is definitely worth the Quest.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For his part, however, Sixers head coach Doc Rivers does not appear to be too concerned with this issue.</p><p>Rivers did acknowledge how Simmons could improve as a three-point shooter, but the Sixers shot-caller was also quick to remind everyone that you don’t have to be a sharpshooter to be an all-time great. Doc’s case in point is none other than the great Magic Johnson:</p><blockquote>“It’s funny,” Rivers <a href="https://twitter.com/j_persicketti/status/1390413445187649536">said</a>, via <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/76ers/news/doc-rivers-nba-fans-look-ben-simmons-magic-johnson">Justin Grasso of SI.com</a>. “Before the three-point line was really popular, there was a guy named Magic Johnson. No one cared that he didn’t make threes or shoot threes! They just loved how Magic played!”</blockquote><p>While Rivers did not directly compare Simmons to Magic, it’s hard not to see the similarities. Much like the Los Angeles Lakers legend, Simmons is also an oversized point guard with elite playmaking skills. The lack of a three-point shot is also a comparable facet to their games.</p><p>Rivers went on to explain why he believes Simmons continues to be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-news-ben-simmons-fires-back-at-critics-who-question-his-lack-of-offense/">unfairly treated</a> by the media. At the end of the day, it’s all about winning:</p><blockquote>“I wish we could look at Ben more like that than needing him to be Steph Curry,” he said. “Because he’s not going to be, nor could Steph be Ben. I think people put these guys in boxes, and they should put it in a winning box. Like, how does he affect winning? Ben affects winning in a big way for us.”</blockquote><p>Fair point from coach Doc here. Simmons is his own unique player and trying to compare him to today’s stars is futile. What cannot be denied, however, is that Ben Simmons has played a key role in Philly’s unprecedented success this season. In the end, this is what matters the most.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As it turns out, however, Embiid himself would like to get a bit more two-man action with another one of his Sixers teammates.</p><p>According to Embiid himself, that man is none other than Tobias Harris. The Embiid and Simmons combination has already proven to be an effective formula, and at this point, JoJo expressed how he’d like to utilize his two-man game with Harris more:</p><blockquote>“I try to get him a shot,” Embiid said, via <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/76ers/news/76ers-joel-embiid-two-man-game-tobias-harris">Kevin McCormick of SI.com</a>. “If he doesn’t have anything, I usually just go back to the post. In the last couple of games, especially the San Antonio game, he hit me with a couple of pocket passes. That’s a part of our game we’ve used a few times, but I feel like we need to use more.”</blockquote><p>Embiid was a beast during Sunday’s 113-111 win over the San Antonio Spurs. He finished with 34 points on 13-of-23 shooting, with a couple of dimes coming from Harris. For his part, Harris struggled with his shot against the Spurs (he went just 3-of-10 for six points), but he was still able to make himself useful on the offensive end by effectively playing the two-man game with Embiid.</p><p>The Sixers are currently on a seven-game winning streak that extends from late April. Embiid has been an absolute force — he’s deservedly earned the honor of being one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-news-joel-embiid-mvp-chances-get-honest-assessment-from-doc-rivers/" rel="noopener">frontrunners</a> in this season’s MVP race — and there’s no denying that his teammates’ willingness to play through him has been one of the primary driving forces behind Embiid’s and the team’s overall success.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Sixers needed all 58 minutes and 59.8 seconds to escape with a crucial 113-111 win on Sunday. It was Simmons who came to the rescue as he got all the way up and tipped a missed jumper from teammate Joel Embiid with just 0.2 seconds left on the game clock.</p><p>It doesn’t get any closer than this (via <a href="https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1389048846320214016">NBA on TNT</a>):</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Simmons wins it at the buzzer! 🚨 <a href="https://t.co/RiNsbQUUPL" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/RiNsbQUUPL</a></p><p>— NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1389048846320214016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 3, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>The three-time All-Star actually struggled all evening with the Spurs defense clamping him up. Simmons was just 1-of-5 from the field prior to his last-second tip-in and added just six boards and board assists to alongside five points. But, Simmons scored when it mattered the most.</p><p>His second field goal in 35 minutes of action didn’t just help the Sixers grab the huge W on the road, the Sixers now take back the top spot in the East with the win with the Brooklyn Nets losing their own game on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks.</p><p>Safe to say that that was a huge bucket from the former first overall pick.</p><p>With the game tied in the Sixers’ last possession, head coach Doc Rivers designed a play for Embiid who already had a game-high of 34 points. After getting to his spot, Embiid turned around for a 10-foot jumper but was clearly bothered by the length of Spurs’ defense. The MVP candidate’s shot ended up going far left and, with no one boxing him out, Simmons was at the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/philadelphia-76ers/news">right spot at the right time.</a></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
