Jimmer Fredette waves to fans after the game with the Bayi Rockets in Shanghai, China, on Jan. 19, 2018. Fredette is a former BYU Cougar and now plays for the Shanghai Sharks in the Chinese Basketball Association.
SHANGHAI — If Jimmer Fredette were to stand on the balcony of his 19th floor apartment in Shanghai, he’d see a sprawling metropolis that evokes Gotham City, an unending tableau of apartment buildings and office towers stretching to the horizon. If the skies were clear he might see the top of the world’s second-tallest building, a skyscraper over 2,000 feet tall.
