Jimmer Fredette turned down multiple NBA contracts, but he also got a sweet shoe deal

After winning the MVP in the Chinese Basketball Association for the Shanghai Sharks, Jimmer Fredette has spent the past few weeks in the states with his wife and newborn daughter.

Jimmer’s hometown newspaper, the Post Star, recently wrote an article detailing Jimmer’s Chinese experience, including a tidbit that talked about Jimmer receiving multiple NBA contract offers.

According to the Post Star, “a couple teams offered Jimmer 10-day contracts when he returned” from China, but he “was content to stay home with Whitney and their new daughter, Wesley.”

No reports have surfaced about which teams offered Jimmer contracts.
