FaZe Clan enlists basketball pro Ben Simmons

Yes, you did read that correctly! FaZe Clan has announced that NBA superstar Ben Simmons has joined as an official member of the team. Well, in a certain capacity anyway, as he will be acting as an investor and brand ambassador for the esports organisation.

Commenting on the newfound partnership, Simmons said: "Gaming is an important part of my life, and so it was a natural progression to personally invest in this industry. FaZe Clan represents the pinnacle of the gaming culture, and I am really looking forward to connecting with new fans around the globe."

Do you think that this is a slam dunk move for FaZe Clan?
