jimmer one of the best college 3 point shooters of all time
*the best
Daniel Hall I don’t know jj reddick was unstoppable
virgil cotton
And so was jimmer
virgil cotton ya but jimmer was could shoot just as good if not better from curry range
Trae Young
The wierd thing is that no matter what league he is in he dominates everybody. Unless it's the nba. It's like there is no happy medium
Ya I think he thrives when his team is molded to him, and in the NBA they already had stars to mold their teams to. In another universe with some better luck he could have done really well I think he NBA.
@@justinlapicola8505 if he could’ve just swallowed his pride and allowed teams to use him when they could, Jimmer couldve been a good player
He drops 70 points in every league but the NBA he all he had to do is spot up in the NBA and be happy he could of gave a team a solid 14ppg. He was never going to get the minutes he thought he should have
@@ThouArtOfWar0724 He's a scorer first. There are lots of teams that don't operate like that and therefore it's hard to find a good fit for him.
@@revenant9277 His biggest problem is he was a terrible defender one of the worst in the league. He also struggled getting to his spot the NBA is hard to score in.
Shout out to when you would tell, "Jimmer!" when taking a shot instead of Kobe for like 4 months
Shooting from half court too, crazy
I don't understand your post. What do you mean?
@@jeaner2966 kids who were old enough I was only in like second grade so we weren’t apart of this era of sports and their trends but he’s saying bc of how good this kid was people would say “jimmer” when shooting instead of “Kobe” for a short period of time like we all do and did
@@exavierposey3491 Sorry! I get it! When I was young in NY we would yell, "Clyde" or "Frazier" or "JoJo White" or "Havlicek" That is how old I am!! Thanks for setting me straight, I appreciate it!
@@jeaner2966 you don’t gotta apologize lol it’s all good, happy to help 🤝
Fun to see the progression of that crossover. Snappin like a yo-yo vs. Florida in 2010.
Wait so they played Texas A&M two years in a row first round with identical seeding?
Yep. The BYU players were all bummed when they saw Texas A&M pop up on the screen again. Pretty wild. I think A&M had DeAndre Jordan at the time too.
@@andrewfilmsdrums such a weird situation
And Florida twice
@@andrewfilmsdrumsthat kinda shows how mentally weak that team was. They had amazing talent those years but being disappointed and intimidated by rematching a team instead of wanting revenge is weak
The NBA’s version of Johnny Manziel, Jimmer B-Ball haha
Except Jimmer is a classy human being, and his issues were because the Kings couldn't develop him, not because he was an idiot party animal. Jonny Manziel was a lazy piece of trash and it's absolutely not fair to compare Jimmer to him.
not true. Jimmer excelled in other leagues, just not the NBA. Johnny not so much
Jimmer was the reason I started playing basketball in the first place. He is one of the college Goats imo. Watching his highlight reels as a young lad will always hype me up no matter what. Shout out to all the BYU dads who taught their kids about this all time great
Thank you Jimmer. For the memories and highlight reel.
One of the greatest shooters in the college game I ever saw. Although he has established his own legacy and dominance playing in China, it still boggles my mind that he never panned out in the NBA considering what the NBA game has evolved to and how good a shooter he is. I know he is a liability on the defensive end, but the NBA doesn't play much defense, anyway.
NBA is a very unforgiving league. Isiah Thomas was an MVP candidate just 5 years ago. Now he’s struggling to find a team. Teams aren’t keen on giving 2nd or especially 3rd chances.
He is the Mormon Megalodon!!!
@@kolbesparks7703 atleast Lance Stephenson has been given a 2nd chance by Indiana and he’s been doing great
Steph curry hadn’t changed the game yet in 2011 when jimmer got drafted
@@jaleelmuhammad9659the game was changed in 2013 by Curry, not 2011.
Imagine jimmer played curry in the 2008 tourney😳
Too bad Brandon Davies got suspended by violating the BYU honor code while just entering the postseason during Jimmer's senior year. Chalk that up to the "what might have been" list.
I know your comment is 7 months old, but I think about that kind of a lot. Of course nothing is 100%, but that sweet 16 loss was in OT and it seems reasonable to think Davies could've made BYU at least 1 point better over those 40 minutes.
before curry range there was jimmer range... i think people forget that
🤡
Jimmer has some of the best college highlights ever imo
March Madness legend
the pioneer of shooting long "bad" shots
When you accidentally push the shoot button in 2k . Lol
And I was at BYU for the entire ride. Perfect timing on my part.
sounds like a great college experience
Steph Curry is just the Jimmer Fredette of the NBA.
The Raptors should've landed him. The way that organization works with their players, man its something else. Seeing players like Pascal, Fred V, etc. But Jimmer, he already had that talent and skill. The development under the Raptors organization would've made him a superstar.
No, it wouldn't have. He might've hung around in the league, though, with better coaching. Van Vleet would've torched him in college. Van Vleet played for a top 10 college team where he couldn't just jack up shots all game long like Jimmer did at BYU. Put FVV, or most NBA PGs, on BYU and they'll put up huge numbers.
This kid never saw a shot he didn’t like🏀🏀but the funny thing is I truly believe the shots he took liked him back🤣🤣🏀🏀what a fun player to watch!!!
BYU could have been a final 4 team im the 2011 season if they didn't lose their starting center.
Jimmer captivated the nation his senior year. What a beautiful thing it was to watch. The whole Mountain West was great that year. BYU had Jimmer, SDSU had Kwahi Leonard and UNLV, Colorado, New Mexico were all ranked if I remember correctly
If only he had a coach that believed in him and actually gave him some playing time I think he could have adapted his game to be a decent back up, spot up shooter. Every team needs a shooter!
He did. Wesphal for the Kings new what he had. Jimmer averaged 17pts a game for the first five games in the NBA but they were losing as a team. Fired Paul then hired Keith Smart and that was the beginning of the end for Fredette.
i wonder how different his nba career woulda been had he left college a couple years earlier, you could see that progression year by year but imagine it against nba competitive testing
Great person.
Jimmer Range
They would've won the title had Brandon Davies not gotten suspended
Facts. As a BYU fan I’m still super bothered by the way they handled that.
One of the great NCAA players of all time
Man Texas A&M and Florida are Jimmer’s kryptonites
Jimmer was Curry-level great in college. Sadly that's where it ended. However, they played Texas A&M in the first round two years in a row??
What are the odds
Same seeds each year too lol
I don’t think he close to curry in college
@@deadmezero8742 he was possibly better. The man could not miss
Jimmer getting drafted by the Kings was the worst possible place he could have ended up
You can’t tell me that if he had gotten a chance in the nba the same way curry did that he also wouldn’t be one of the best players in the league today
Before curry range it was Jimmer 🔥
Chris Lofton *
Watch the inbound after the basket at 4:10 lol
Imagine this dude on Utah with the green light Clarkson has.🤔
My boy
9:57 the most memorable shot of his career for me
his shooting form smooth bruh, how’d he fail in the nba?
“Jimmer Range”
Shame he didn’t blossom in the NBA… he was cold 🥶
Jimmer is one of the best basketball players to not quite have NBA level talent.
💯
If he went to a team that actually wanted him he could’ve been waaaaayyy better
Adam Morrison?
@@jUAN.T that dude had diabetes
He did have NBA talent, sadly the team and opportunity didn’t work out.
Can you upload BYU vs Florida 2011
9:57 shooting that one from PRO-VO!!! then the eye of 🐅 stare
We all shoulda known the NBA gods were never gonna let a dude named Jimmer shine
They were always making Jimmer have to play teams he already beat because they had first hand experience. The committee is devious.
To this day, Mormons still argue that Jimmer should be starting in the NBA.
Sheeeesh I didn’t realize how dirty his crossover was
jimmer is a college legend
I miss the baggy college era
It still pisses me off that Davies got suspended at the end of the season. Would’ve had a Final 4 team
Should’ve just soaked
Remember thinking he was gonna have a tough time with those athletic Gator teams. He torched them.
Skill>athletic
man shot 11/29 from the field and 3/15 from three idk about torching
@@sardass8618 31 points is 31 points more than you will ever get
With the current style of the nba I don’t understand why he couldn’t succeed. He just needs an actual chance from a team.
He is too small n not quick enough to guard nba pgs
It doesn’t mean he is not awesome, NBA just not for everyone.
Mike Palmere but a player like that could definitely impact the right kind of team. Look at players like Andre roberson, or Rudy Gobert. Players that specialize in one area and lack heavily in others. Especially now with Utah’s craziness right now.
because brigham young believes blacks are cursed with mark of cain.
If only Brandon Davies could have played in 2011...
Yup! That was crushing.
Nasty crossover
Gonzaga fans gotta still be feeling this one haha
If you have Reggie Miller in awe of your 3 game...
Anyone else wondering how they played Texas am back to back years
Jimmer was supposed to be what Steph is
He was curry before curry came & took it to a whole new level
When you peak too soon
Story of my life, now I have a baby on the way from a one-night stand.
Came here after his 70 pts CBA game
How did BYU and A&M play eachother first round back to back years
The Mormon mamba
People forget where Curry learned it all 🤣
Yeah they're casuals 🤣
4:10 did the opponent inbound properly?
Now he's getting buckets on the Shanghai sharks.
Curry before curry no cap🤣
dude curry played in the 2008 tournament with jimmer
3:31 ref flexing
You're telling me Jimmer couldn't have had a career in the NBA comparable to JJ Reddick?? He was 2x the college player.
Still trying to figure out how his game didn’t translate to nba lol was born a few years too early
Couldn’t play defense at an NBA level and a lot of his moves weren’t very effective against NBA defenders.
The Kings ruined his career
How many teams did he go to after he played with the kings. Bulls, spurs, New York. He couldn’t stay on the floor because of his defense.
Nah. He’s just not cut out forNBA basketball. Just a step too slow compared to his completion, couldn’t get himself free without going off balance.
When the Spurs don’t want you, you have no chance
his ego ruined his career, look at his quotes about the game plan, that everone was idiot, that he needs to shoot ever ball to the team win, he was impossible to coach, and he wasn't that good to compesate his ego.
Jimmer Fredette is one of the reason why player should get payed he had to move to China because he does fit well in the NBA and now he is playing in Greece
Really wish he could’ve beat Florida his senior year man
I thought he was Curry before Curry men 😂
the NBA thing didn't work out for him...but sure he was fun to watch...
Choked against Florida in the sweet sixteen
Watching this I can still understand why people fell for the cheese
Does anybody know what he's up to these days?
Plays for panathainkos
Greek Basketball League
Young Dab-A-Roosa getting buckets overseas
Shanghai Sharks. Had 70 points in one game last week
Welcome to Red Star bro
9:53
The male Caitlin Clark
Can you imagine the NIL contract he would’ve signed. He would’ve got PAID in college
Wdym
The Mormon Megalodon!!!!
Where his career went wrong:
Getting drafted by the Kings.
One of the richest busts in nba history. 😂
Ok all jokes aside he was amazing in college just wish the kings didn’t draft him, could have possibly been a role player at the very least in the right team. In the end he left a legacy in China so it’s all good.
Shia Lebouf can ball!
your favorite hooper’s favorite hooper
Jimmer Was A BUCKET
This guy actually won player of the year over Kemba walker LOL
BYU could of went all the way this year
yes, they could HAVE done that
Morman white kid had to go play with the kings who had isiah Thomas Tyreke Evans and demarcus cousins not really a set up for success
IT was their back-up PG. Jimmer started and didn't produce.
Lol
Not sure why Jimmer didn't work out in the NBA. I don't see much difference in play between he and Steph 🤷
Would easily take a team of guys like him over a bunch of overhyped 5 stars.
An underwhelming player who thinks he knows more than the coaching staff? Good to see you love mediocrity.
@@retiredtidepodeater3339 prolly could have evolved into a better scorer if he had the right staff around him. Sacramento wasnt very kind to developing him.
Lol and you would lose
Cameron J how on earth was he underwhelming in college??
Robert Beal really? tell me genuis, how many five stars have been winning titles recently? the bulk of championship winning players these days aren’t 5 star players. you’ll catch on soon im sure.
Mark Zuckerburg can hoop?
Even in this, you can tell why he struggled in the NBA
80% of the highlight were 3s, half of it were bad shots(either contested or long 3s)
And his moves would not work on NBA players as an unathletic undersized PG
Moves that'll have trouble working on NBA defenders:
1:06 He reverts back to his right hand when he should've shoot with his left, it'll get block by NBA bigs or wings easily
1:19 I swear I watched Embiid blocks shots like this like thirty times
1:36 Same problem, going under with his right when he should've use his left hand
2:34 He didn't trap his defender completely, long-armed defenders like Thybulle or Boucher would punish him for it
There are too many to list it all
Curry got his game from Jimmer
G.I. Jake wait curry came before jimmer tho
Why didn't they like him??
Jimmer walked so curry could run
Too bad they couldn't find a role for him in the NBA. He can light it up overseas though, which he is currently doing. Hope he didn't spend all of his NBA cash
He didn’t have a great handle
yes he did. he may not have been that flashy, but his dribble moves were very effective, his hezi and crossover were almost unguardable, he got his shot off whenever he wanted because of his handle
One of the biggest bust in nba history
Made more money than you'll ever earn 🤷🏻♂️
@@JohnPaul-vs5zf you as well
@@ybwkel5836 at least Im not a hater.
