Ben Simmons makes $35 million a year to mostly not play basketball.

But there's no shame in his game.

The three-time All-Star and former Rookie of the Year-- who's still just 27 -- showed up at the Met Gala last night pimped up like a peacock.

If Simmons stops playing basketball entirely, he'll probably stop getting invited to the Met Gala.  So maybe this will give him some motivation to play.
