Ben Simmons shared a baby photo on Mother’s Day, and while Sixers fans wait to see the No. 1 overall pick in action, they can keep themselves busy appreciating what a comically large child he was.

That isn’t a baby — it’s a 3-year-old. Huge props to Ben’s mom for looking so flawless when you have a massive baby in your arms. That said, you can tell — only just slightly — from the look on her face that at least part of her is thinking “Can I put this giant child down please?”

Simmons knows how massive he was, saying:

“Happy Mother’s Day love you mum♥️ #Iwasabigassbaby”

Yes you were, Ben. Yes you were.
