Philadelphia 76ers fans might not have great things to say about Brooklyn Nets player Ben Simmons, but they have to admit that Simmons gave them free nuggets Tuesday night (Nov. 22) after missing two consecutive free throws in the third quarter of this Sixers-Nets game.

The Sixers currently have a promotion with Chick-Fil-A named "Bricken for Chicken." Every fan in attendance scores a free order of chicken nuggets the next day if an opposing player misses two straight free throws during the second half.

Plenty of Sixers fans were looking forward to the Nov. 22 game, because they hoped Simmons would score them those free nuggets. Sure enough, he delivered. Check out the footage below.
