'He could have been the next LeBron': Fans fear NBA star Ben Simmons will be hit with the 'Kardashian curse' after he reunites with rumoured flame Kendall Jenner
NBA fans fear Ben Simmons' career could be all but over after he was pictured reuniting with rumoured flame Kendall Jenner.
The Australian-born basketball star earns close to AUD $8 million a year playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, but some are worried he will be hit with the 'Kardashian curse'.
'I wish him the best, but I give his career 2 more years. The Kardashian curse is real!' wrote one on Twitter, referring to a conspiracy theory that the men who date the Kardashian-Jenner sisters see their fortunes start to fade.

'He could have been the next LeBron': Fans fear basketball superstar Ben Simmons will be hit with the 'Kardashian curse' after he reunited with rumoured flame Kendall Jenner last week
Ben, 21, and Kendall, 22, were first linked last month when they were pictured spending time together in Los Angeles.
At the time, basketball star Ben was thought to be in a two-month old relationship with singer Tinashe.
Shortly after, however, Kendall was seen kissing Gigi Hadid's model brother Anwar Hadid in New York earlier this month - but now it seems she is back with Ben.

Other sports star said to have been hit by the 'Kardashian curse' include Kris Humphries and Khloe Kardashian's partner, Tristan Thompson.
In 2011, Kris - who was married to Kim Kardashian for 72 days in that same year - signed an AUD $10.7 million contract with the New Jersey Nets. Now, he is not currently playing in the NBA.
Meanwhile, Tristan is signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who narrowly missed out on the NBA Championship title last week, just months after a highly-publicised scandal in which he was caught cheating on Khloe when she was pregnant with his child.
