The Puzzling Journey Of Jimmer Fredette
Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY Sports
Jimmer range!” shouts the television announcer, while everyone in the stadium stands up in awe of where number 32 just drained a three. Then, as Jimmer Fredette jogs back on defense, the broadcast goes to a replay.
From the replay it’s clear that the standout star for BYU crossed half court envisioning exactly what he was about to do. As his defender backed up, Jimmer rose for a jump shot a step past the Cougars’ logo. The previously quiet crowd erupted, amazed at the shot despite the hundreds of times the young player had done it before.
