@@necrophagiakc best comment on UA-cam bro they can't wait to find that next American born larry bird they've been waiting for decades when ever he is found the Celtics will get him and make him the richest white basketball player EVER
I'm from the same area as Jimmer. I remember that everyone was wearing Jimmer everything including my supervisor. When I tried to explain that he wouldn't make it in the NBA she said "why, cause he's white" lol. I tried to explain his flaws but nobody understood. Thanks for the video
He would go to prisons to play in the off season just to improve his game but would also bring a smile to those locked up. Salute to him and his family
I remember not knowing who Kawhi Leonard was, but lord knows we never heard the end of Jimmer. The media couldn't stop talking about him. It's funny how things changed once they got to the NBA.
@Rob We knew who Kawhi was. That rivalry was so hot, they put BYU-San Diego State on the Main CBS channel. Never seen CBS do that with that type of conference, before or since.
Jimmer is a legend over here in China. You show a clip of his dust-up with Stephon Marbury, the result of Jimmer dropping a 54-point, 13-rebound, 10-assist triple double on the very frustrated Marbury, who had four points. Jimmer can run an offense and pass, but he has to have the ball in his hands all the time, and that's not going to happen in the NBA. I've talked to him a couple of times here and he seems to be a good guy.
Litterally most guards in the league can run an offense if you give them the ball all the time and dont care about efficiency. Which will be a lottery team.
The Lonely Master,Dude Can hoop ! I think if he worked on his ball-handling and ball distribution and how to run an offense dude could’ve stayed in the League a lot more time
Something else to mention is because he was the guy at BYU he allegedly had a huge ego which affected how teams looked at him as well. I’m sure he is a bit more humble now but that was also definitely a huge thing that kept him bouncing from team to team
Yeah, I read that too. Apparently early on, he wanted everything to be about him and to have the neon green light like he had at BYU, and the NBA was like "Ummmm, no. You have to earn that" much like the video astutely pointed out. I too think he's more humble now, but that was definitely an issue for him initially.
I’ve never heard of this ever, where did you read this lol. I remember after signing his nba contract he bought like a Honda Accord and a small apt, doesn’t sound like what you said…
@@wbae1340 The Sporting news is a pretty reputable site. And other people had heard this about him...As the person who posted this said, I am sure he's more humble now, but it seemed like that attitude issue he had didn't help matters. Plus, he can't play effectively at the NBA level without having a high usage rate, so I can understand why he would initially feel like he should have been given the same green light he was given at BYU
@@wbae1340 on the court ego, not his off the court ego. They are separate things. He was a very it’s all about me kind of player coming into the league initially
Couple things McBuckets had going for him: he's 6'7" and a decent athlete, meaning he can do things a smaller guy can't. Also, he's the son of a coach, which normally means he's better at learning the game.
I went to a Rockets preseason game in Oct 2018 playing against Shangai which had Fredette and former Rocket Luis Scola on the team. Jimmer scored 41 out of the team's 86 points in the entire game.
I knew he wouldn't make it in the NBA because he had zero defense ability and couldn't go left consistently and couldn't create his own shot. He could shoot but didn't get stronger and had a hard time reading defenses and struggled when in the pick and roll. Overall he was a dynamic player in college and to be fair had he had different coaching on another team he could have been at least serviceable in the NBA because he had shooting ability but he lacked confidence early on
Dude stop it. U know how many players in the nba dont play defense. Nba is no longer about defense. It’s about highlights and entertainment with deep 3 pointers,Crossovers and dunks to boost ratings. He jus came in the wrong era. Jimmer would be a great role player in this eras style of basketball with all the 3 pointers and crossover
Do you think you could do a stunted growth on Darius miles? He went from 14ppg to out of the league edit: just saw he already did one 3 years ago my bad😅
I remember him, as a rookie, breaking down a defender and driving to the basket. The weak side defender slides in the paint to stop his drive. Jimmer pulls up. But his defender he broke down recovers, and has his hand able to defend Jimmer's pull up J, from behind. Jimmer feels him, from behind, and ends up altering his shot, in mid air. That play, alone, told me that Jimmer, who could easily blow by college defenders and weak side cats sliding in the paint, had some adjustment he had to do, regarding the speed of the NBA. As we see, he was not able to adjust.
Great Video JC, you should do Aaron Gordon next. Cause a lot of people were making him to be the "Next Blake Griffin" back never had that success in Orlando. He's doing ok in Denver as a "Role Player" but I think his "Star Power" to be an All-Star is dead in my opinion 😔
Sacramento should have had an interesting backcourt with big PG Tyreke Evans and small SG Jimmer Fredette, but when they drafted Jimmer they took the ball out of Tyreke's hands and tried to make Jimmer a "True PG" similarly to early years Steph Curry. I know the problems with Jimmer go beyond this, but I still hate the way Sacramento misused both of their talents
But with Jimmer running the point Evans would have never touched the ball, Jimmer wasn't interested or capable of passing. Exactly why he couldn't last in the league.
@@CM-ft9ep I think you misunderstood what I said. The Kings took the ball out of Evans after year one and tried to make him a wing instead of the slashing facilitator he was his rookie year, and then tried to make Jimmer a True PG instead of a small SG. They got their roles reversed, and while Jimmer's problems were far easier to see, I think it really messed up Evan's career and is why he peaked his rookie year
I think the problem was Tyreke+Jimmer+ Cousins. Tyreke and Jimmer could've worked ok, sharing handling and running off screens, etc. He did fine on a team in Greece with a similar set up (jimmer playing as a SG a lot of the time). But having too elite scoring guards doesn't work that well with Demarcus wants the ball to Iso up on 30 percent of the plays.
I remember him coming into the draft I didn't know much about him we drafted him then traded him to the Kings he had a lot of hype people said we'll regret trading him😬
Let’s be real he started with the kings. That’s It that was his problem. Had he went to a team who actually had a development team he would’ve came out alot better
💯 percent right JC he was a one hit wonder a few good games in college and nothing else. The hype train can take you to the top. But, you don't get to stay there.
I am brazilian for us Oscar has stunt his growth because he choose play in olympic instead of the nba, real og move, im not a osrcar fan but this was "People champs" type of thing (sorry for my english)
I wish the media and Danes weren’t so fixated on seeing/finding the next mike Steph bron etc why can’t we just j on why players themselves because that’s a ridiculous amount of pressure to put on any one
I think the biggest stunt came because Sacramento didn't support him the way Golden State supported Steph. Sacramento sucked back then like they do now. They should have given him the green light for a full season and ran the offense through him.
Great player collegiately who def would have benefitted from NIL payday(s). Thought he would be OK as a pro but decided to still play college hoops in the NBA, so he failed. Great lesson for folks, in that you always have to meet or exceed the challenge where you are, and that the past is merely prologue. RIP to his US career; I know he did his Thing overseas, tho.
As someone who watched Steve Nash at Santa Clara and Jimmer at BYU I thought Jimmer def had some Nash to his game. Bad defensively, but very good offensively in college. It didn’t help getting drafted by Kings. I think at worst he could of been a poor man’s Lou Williams off bench or at least Jeremy Lin type for someone if given the chance.

I tried to tell people hê wasn't going to do good in the NBA and everyone said I was crazy, however I did want him to become a solid player but teams never gave him enough playing time
As a coach now, I can look at Jimmer's shooting mechanics and know why he didn't have success in the league: always off balance, a hitch, inconsistent shot off the catch. He's a ball dominant 2 guard in a frat boy's body
It was obvious he wouldn’t pan out idk how he made it to the nba but then again he had the complexion for the protection smh being white def has its perks man damn
Idk I feel like The Jimmer never got a fair shake in the nba. I mean, you tell me he can't shoot in 20 minutes off a good team's bench? Doesn't make sense
Yo JC said “Slow Footed naturally” 😭😭 That’s a whole fact he his slow footed naturally lol. That doesn’t translate to the NBA well. Especially at that height.
Did you call Curry "Maybe even top 10 all time"? There ain't no maybe sir🤣🤦🏿♂️, he might even be top 5: Jordan, Lebron, and Kareem are the only players I would definitely put above him as of now. Guys like Magic, Wilt, Bill Russel, Larry Bird etc are arguable depending on which factor/attribute/accolade you choose to highlight
You’d think a shooter would always have a roster spot. Still true for the most part, buoy With the long ball being so commonplace in today’s game, a guy who may not shoot as well, but good enough and can guard 2-3 positions will take that roster spot a guy like joker used to have on lock
Man-the hype for this guy was through the ROOF
Tell me about it, I used to shout Jimmer everytime I took a 3 point J

Everybody wants to play the race card when it comes to b-ball. In truth, there ARE some nasty white boys out there that are too numerous to mention.
Jammer played at BYU the same time Kwahwi Leonard played at San Diego St. They had some great battles in Mountain West Conference play.
