From Rookie to Superstar: The Journey of Ben Simmons in NBA 2K25 MyCareer Series

What if Ben Simmons entered the NBA in 2016 and was immediately handed the keys to a franchise? What if, instead of struggling with fit issues and criticism, he became the face of a rising contender?

Welcome to this NBA 2K25 MyCareer journey, where Ben Simmons isn’t just another talented rookie—he’s a one-man wrecking crew, rewriting history with the Charlotte Hornets. Through dominant performances, team struggles, front office moves, and the search for a second star, this MyCareer mode has taken on a life of its own, blending fictional storytelling with real basketball strategy.

At 11-3, the Hornets are thriving, but one major question looms: Can we really make a deep playoff run relying almost entirely on Simmons? Right now, he’s dropping **MVP-level numbers—triple-doubles, 50-point explosions, and lockdown defense—but the lack of a true second option is becoming a serious issue. Coach Clifford knows it. The team knows it. And if we don’t find another scorer, teams will figure us out by playoff time.

With trade rumors swirling and roster moves already shaking up the team, the Hornets’ future is uncertain—but one thing isn’t: Simmons is must-watch basketball.

This blog will document every step of this alternate NBA reality, from game breakdowns and key performances to front office moves and long-term strategy. There are surprises ahead—big ones. Will Simmons carry Charlotte to the promised land? Or will the lack of a supporting cast hold him back?
