[@ethandong1313]

Looks like his old BYU days

[@Shimmoda]

Good times

[@许景晨]

The Muscle Biker but the leagues are such different cba is not a professional game its terrible

[@Shimmoda]

He's still making incredible shots it's not like he's open the whole time. I see guys in different leagues miss open shots all the time

[@chadwi12]

Nobody will ever know how bad these refs were cheating to help that other team. In any normal setting this performance would've walked away with that game. He was doing everything on that basketball court and all they kept doing was putting the other team at the line to get them points with the clock stopped

[@xiaoouyang3904]

tell you what his shot to put the game into OT is an and-one for sure. I mean the guy guarding him literally jumped into him while he took that shot, if this was in the NBA the ref would be all over that shit.

[@CrimsonHeart3]

With high shooting % which is what is most impressive - i'm watching the nba all star game and they don't play defense so everyone gets open shots from 3 - and they yet they miss them. Jimmer is great at hitting them with defense or without - consistency is an elite skill - tons of guys in the nba miss shots similar to the ones jimmer takes in cba. The floaters - mid ranges - spin shots - step backs - contested drives - contested 3s - those are tough shots no matter what league. They take skill - but of course people don't focus on what other players can't do - it's mostly always about making jimmer seem like he's worse than every active nba player. Btw - the clutch fts - he did that on the nba too. Even when he didn't play in the nba - the coaches would bring him off the bench COLD not having played - to sink the game winning free throws. And he did several times. Not to mention the amazing contested game tying 3 and other clutch shots.

[@dm9146]

Misael V. well said!

[@Martial-dl3fb]

if u ain't black u ain't playing in the NBA 😂

[@user-st8yq8vv3g]

Misael V. Misael the reason teams dont want fridette is he holds the ball to much and he looks to score and not team play when his on the court he makes his team bad yeah he can score but just look at this game 70+ points and they still lose that just show how much he handles the ball

[@sanhawk6554]

+Savíory do you logic? He's using all star game as his premise for defense in order to prove lack of defense.

[@user-st8yq8vv3g]

San Hawk are u dumb? what he meant was. The game was an allstar game so there was no defense at all and the players have open shots but miss them. that is his point players missing open shot when jimmer make contested and open shot efficiently. do u logic? lol

[@4slyce]

the jimmer will always live within our bball hearts... always and forever

[@henryhu3161]

I've watched the two OTs, and tbh, if the refs were fair to both teams, Jimmer would get a win and hit more goals. Refs suck. They ruined a great game

[@augustuschang594]

同意，那场球的裁判真的是恶心到无节操！

[@zrollins]

Jimmer was so amazing at BYU. Great to see him tearing it up in China ala Stephon Marbury. Love the fan reactions.

[@splitscreencomedy2974]

JIMMER RANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@miles4153]

Thanks for the upload.

[@globalbasketball9190]

jeeze, this man is a god of 3 pointer

[@klay1955]

"25-49 shooting" Dude has the cee lo green light

[@Ryan-rv5em]

How the hell he not in the NBA

[@tom11zz884]

He can't play defense and is too slow.

[@thecanadianbroshow]

Harden doesn't play D...in the hunt for MVP

[@Xceptinq]

Paul Bale harden does play defense you clearly don't watch the NBA lmao

[@bonkersdonkers7381]

steph curry is a terrible defender.

[@bonkersdonkers7381]

He's white. That's it.

[@matthewgeorge7911]

Such a baller. Getting one of those jerseys would be sick

[@jcole653]

Jimmer is just to strong for these dudes. Straight up American. I love it.

[@henryjr27]

This guy can play, their is a lot of guys in the NBA that don't have that skill yet.

[@DeAdLiNebg]

I do believe he is playing way more calm and free than if he was in the NBA. US media can be way too harsh on players which can affect them psychologically.

[@AlphaDwg]

he's playing against garbage competition. nothing else.

[@brownhippy]

damn that sequence at the end of the 1ST OT was exhilierating

[@MikeLoveThyself]

Only in the CBA you would see jimmer finishing around the rim lol hopefully he finds his way back to the league one day

[@wochaoainigejiba1211]

How the hell do people still fall for these videos and think players like these belong in the NBA.

[@Vosovogalsyncope]

we would have loved this in Sacramento

[@adriellr]

Good to see jimmer doing good

[@chadwi12]

real quick to all you hating on fredette..... saying he's a bust and received a fair ample shot in the league... i have a question... in college, when he was given his own team much like damian lillard and kawai leonard were given theirs.... do u know what his record was vs those two....leonard last years runner up in the mvp voting, and three years ago the finals mvp for what he did defensively to lebron james... he scratched one win.... jimmer tallied 5... five and 1 vs the nba's def stopper.. lol guess he didn't have the same success trying to tame fredette that he did the king lol..... as for the nbas rookie of the year, he wasn't as successful as leonard lol... he was 0 and 4 vs fredette... but i know... he sucks... plays no dee... lol even tho he was top five in the d league in steals... the reason he wasn't given a shot was plan as day.. no one wanted the job of trying to five teammates to play with him and let him do what he needs to do to be effective.... what a shame... same thing came close to happening to curry... luckily the franchise that drafted him decided to believe in him....

[@XBebopo]

Yeah...no. Jimmer's simply too unathletic to make it in the NBA. Curry's game works because he's much faster, has an even quicker release, and has much better ball handling skills.

[@imamusicfan5927]

Whoa, who is this guy? He could play the NBA!

[@jdewaal5434]

LOL, dude, where were you in 2011? He was the unanimous NCAA player of the year!

[@flavorousg1196]

if he ever gets back in NBA, i will buy his jersey no question ask

[@skeebz77]

Don't laugh, but I always thought he was Dwyane Wade without the athleticism. He's very crafty, has great body control, and can score in a variety of ways. Should be in the NBA, he would fit in well with the Cavs or the Pelicans.

[@iiM_KOBE]

I'll quote some of the Great younger Lil Wayne here ... "I got a Choppa and a Trimmer , SHOOTING LIKE JIMMER" 😂

[@TWINTOWERS4123]

6:35 OT buzzer beater

[@bqa2451]

Love this! Jimmerwatch request. Please make these videos to music video and I ll be forever greatful. 1: Jimmer the great white shark. ( highlights of this year) 2. D league dominance. I love seeing these fans go nuts. First of the year he had empty seats. Now they are still empty.... but only because they are standing up and yelling their freaking heads off. Jimo Jimo!!

[@paucarvalho7369]

A lot of people here are saying he should still be in the NBA. WTF did you smoked? Of course he plays that good because he's playing against less talented players.

[@masterofdisguise1112]

I think he can make it in the NBA if he was like a six man coming off the bench

[@Jboneabs3445]

he's like a Jayson Williams & Michael Jordan style combined

[@anthonybugg255]

he needs to be in the NBA. will trade him for Rubio

[@SensitiveHomie310]

His dominance in China reminds me a little of the white mamba. Let's not get carried away, Jimmer is good but he isn't a god like scal was.

[@daabbot]

wish my knicks gave him a shot. dude can score the basketball. i thought thats what the league wants now a days. guards who can fill it up.

[@learnteach2learn729]

If this guy is really good then the Utah Jazz should draft him to prove a point.

[@amaxlite]

Looks like he's clowning them but they struggled to keep the lead...

[@KimMinho789]

1:27 how did they not call it???

[@TheNray69]

Wow! 8:00

[@kingwrister]

OOOO that three to tie the game tho, too good lebron can't even do that

[@jayworthen2000]

Shimmer went to my favorite college so I know that he is not in the nab because he takes a lot of bad shots.

[@ABE23456]

Isn't the 3 point line further away in the NBA?

[@Christusolus]

Jimmer should go to Golden State.

[@maximusmax1063]

Basically the chineas david thompson

[@kiddholiday6872]

why is he not in the leaugue again

[@salempond]

Look who he's playing against. Not a single player in that league is nba talent or else they'd be in the NBA right now...including Jimmer. For a guy who gets triple teamed every possession, you'd think he'd have more than 3 assists.... Just saying.

[@JohnnyT3n]

just using the standard talking points to keep the man down..... did you watch those highlights...?

[@salempond]

JohnnyT3n The guy is good at what he does, nobody denies that. I'm happy he gets to play in a league that lets him shoot a million shots like his BYU days. But 70 points in China does not translate to 70 points NBA. And let's be serious, these defenders look like guys playing pickup ball.

[@Coopsoldman]

Really? 70 points in china doesn't mean 70 points in the NBA? I'm so glad you clarified that... Just out of curiosity who is putting up 70 points in any league? I think the point is the guy is obviously good enough to help any NBA team. A lot of Players have used the CBA to get back into the NBA and they weren't putting up numbers like this....

[@JohnnyT3n]

More talking points... 70 points in this league I think was a top 5 all-time performance...... Jimmer can score, but it is true coaches have to let him do his thing, NBA coaches simply aren't willing to let Jimmer dominate an offense like this. I actually love Jimmer, but if I were a head coach I would either bench him like everyone has, or I would basically put my future in his hands and hope he adapts and learns enough to carry the franchise. The reason he isn't in the NBA is simply because no coach has been willing to let their career rise and fall with Jimmer because Jimmer has to dominate the ball to be who he is on the court.

[@Coopsoldman]

JohnnyT3n Never really though guy of it that way

[@CharifRocka]

This is like watchin the NBA except in an alternative universe. Very bizarre. 🙃

[@cjinl2428]

People asking why he's not in the NBA either don't watch basketball or have no concept of logic. He can score 73 in China. He can average 30 points in college. He can win all-star mvp in the D-League. He can't do anything close to that in the NBA. Why? He's too small (6'2 for a shooting guard), he can't play defense, his athleticism doesn't make up for his size, etc. The point is he can't do it in the NBA against REAL competition. Scoring 73 in a CBA literally means nothing.

[@ckthedreamchaser3483]

cJinL no he because no teams would give him minutes

[@richatlarge462]

It means some serious money.

[@cfdmedicambo68relf7]

Bulls Should Pick Him Up

[@kastuul]

His team lost, okay? It means the D isn't that good. A PG who had 3 assists in a game with 2OT is hard to find a NBA team to fit in. Yao Ming is too generous to give him the green light to take so many shots.

[@6bDorotea]

You in trouble now son! Lebron about to snatch u jimmy boy!

[@mcfuckinanotheraccount808]

That travel at 1:23 tho lol 4 steps but looked like 20

[@MattiaHuang]

And there were so many occasions where he did not get the call.. Should be an 80-ish game if not for the refs

[@FantasyCouch]

Thanks for posting this! Glad to see the homie Jimmer ballin' in China!

[@kyleelliott7131]

It takes away the natural grip. Oh yeah I feel like these are gonna make me a lot better

[@tommyglodo4495]

I've been subbed to Jimmer watch for a while now and I'm so glad we got highlights of this. Thanks Jimmer watch for letting me watch my favorite player all season

[@shuyu9171]

I don't like the refs. They manipulated the game.

[@JaymeLawman]

100% Fixed

[@JJ-te3yf]

Jayme Lawman i see you，老罗

[@seanlee481]

People tend to ask why no franchise in the NBA wants Jimmer, but the truth is he's a very one-dimensional player. Just look, not only at how slow he is, but also at the fact that he plays very little defense. Not to mention his entire offense consists of only two shots: running floater and the 3. Yeah he's a scoring machine in China (and I do love watching him ball out) but he honestly has no place in the NBA.

[@mad85123]

what's most impressive to me are his free throws. He's almost automatic. And 25/49????? That's impressive no matter what league you are in

[@tomi-rk6xx]

nothing impressive about that. The guy took 50 shots, against a league where no one has heard of defense

[@BrokeMalone]

woahhhh 50% shooting soo gooodddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

[@P4PKing]

50% is good.Lol

[@vanmaralit333]

lol your comment is misleading, he is 25/49 IN the field not freethrow... he was perfect in the FT

[@mad85123]

Van Maralit yes... That is why I said he is automatic in the FT he's 90%. but a 50%+ FG is impressive

[@MrDJS444]

I like Jimmer, and 73 points is absolutely huge, but only 3 assists playing pretty much the entirety of a 2OT game which ended in a loss...? The reason he isn't in the NBA is because he is a one-man show who doesn't make his teammates better and is weak on D. But I have to hand it to him -- he can sure shoot the 3 and score.

[@gogeglesuck]

I have watched almost all of Fredette's games for the past five years. He was simply abused in Sacdemento by Two hapless coaches who obviously had personal issues with Fredette. They lied repeatedly about getting Fredette more playing time on their sorry team . Despite the fact that Fredette had some of the best per minute stats in the NBA he sat and sat and sat..ay one point in mid season he was leading the NBA Guards in Points per minute !! . SCORES and scores of times Fredette would come off of the bench and light it up..Scoring 10, 12 15 points in a quarter or less only to be benched for the rest of the game .Video tape doesn't lie Fredette is not just a Great 3pT shooter , he is a scoring FREAK. He can do it from anywhere on the court . He drives to the hoop as easily as he did in college, is an Excellent passer and facilitator and he Creates his own shot as well as anyone in the game watch this video of Fredette toying with NBA defenders ..10 mins of Fredette scorching NBA defenders: For those who say he isn't quick enough ..That is Just pure Ignorance ..He is Quicker thann ALL of the below NBA All Star Guards : Lane agility Drill : Jimmer Fredette 10.42 Derrick Rose 11.69 John Wall 10.83 Russell Westbrook 10.98 Jrue Holliday 10.64 Watch these two videos..: and see Fredette EMBARRASS all NBA defenders...No one can guard him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2GuiWSprJ6Cbs0 Driving Highlights kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZy7XopphpmaaqM Creating his own shot

[@costumeninja1914]

thank you for presenting straight up FACTS

[@TremainHayhoe]

Biggest mistake (out of thousands) for the Kings was not giving Jimmer enough playing time, and letting him go. Dude is an All-Star.

[@thecanadianbroshow]

If you don't understand Basketball, or even care about the sport...maybe you hate the sport, maybe you don't like the referees, politics, the media perception...or your a lazy ass sports junkie whom thinks they know it all? It's all good...we as #hoopsters...#hoopjunkie...#ballers...#canadianhoopjunkie...if I was a GM in the NBA...that dude would be on my team, and lock him up as long as possible, for a little as possible...look at some of the current NBA salaries for borderline, overrated, overpaid talent...whom have all of the same problems that Jimmer doesn't...one...no one plays D in the NBA, with it's current rules regarding no-hand-checking, thus the NBA dominated by the 3 game...transition, and small-ball...whom cares if Jimmer can't stop anyone!!!! Dude can flat out shoot the rock, scoring machine...whom is going to stop Jimmer from scoring is the really good question? No one...cause Jimmer does what 85% of the NBA can't do...shoot da rock...plus...huge plus in the current NBA...nice guy, family guy, friendly, kind, sincere, incredibly fundamentally sound, great teammate, has tremendous passion, disipline, work-ethic...man...lol! Go Jimmer! Live your dreams!

[@whatitsworth2124]

The video quality hurts my brain. Jimmer is honestly the greatest free throw shooter of all time. 13/13?!? That's insane with all that pressure.

[@JohnnyT3n]

What is his average for the year in China? This year alone he has hit soooo many huge free throws, even in situations where he hasn't missed all night and his brain is saying I am going to miss one soon aren't I....

[@jdewaal5434]

he shot above 92%

[@aggelos7475]

Currently in Europe he is 96% where the pressure is not even close to comparable with China and he is always on the court in the last seconds where fouls are made for free throws and he puts all of them in

[@Deadman1817]

Jimmer is scoring at will

[@MichaelAnthonyMital]

Jimmer mania is back!

[@HiImRawr]

He's not in the NBA because he isn't good enough.

[@alanbecerra4282]

I still say "jimmer!" When I pull up .. Lol honestly he had range before curry had curry range ..

[@BenDover-ty7dh]

JIMMER RANGE

[@BubsArcadeFighters]

He should be in the NBA!!! Brooklyn Nets sign him to a ten day!!! In the right system he would fit in!! GSW should at least for ticket sales!! :D #JIMMER2NBA

[@jeruhcho]

LMAO on 1:27 Jimmer traveled

[@chadwi12]

I'm watching the sec playoff game right now, and i have never seen anything so unprofessional in all my life.... they just took 30 min to decide if that was a two or three at the buzzer........ 30 min i kid u not

[@davidrobertson4010]

If he would adjust his game he would be better suited for the nba

[@ChewieCR]

At 6'2" and with a "leaning in" jump shot, won't work in the NBA

[@ayanedjagbre7469]

it's late but isaiah worked in the nba with a leaning in jump shot before the injury

[@JLummin]

if he does this consistently, an NBA return could happen. I think the warriors need to grab him. He was like Curry in college, and looks like he can still contribute, and the warriors need guys off the bench

[@edsoncharlotin8755]

If Jimmer was black he'd be in the NBA that's a fact. But he's also just a black hole ball hog who won't pass and won't play D lol.

[@AlphaDwg]

you are a special kind of stupid. Jimmer can't play in the NBA. FACT. He's had 5 tries and failed. If he would play he could play. Jeremy Lin still collecting a check why can't he? You jimmer idiots are trolls

[@EnsignHoops]

While I understand that you are just voicing your opinion and you have the right to do so, I would appreciate if you stopped spreading negativity and trying to argue with anyone that has a different opinion than your own. If you find yourself disagreeing with the majority of people that comment on my videos, please stop watching them unless you can keep your opinion to yourself.

[@uropy]

No one wants to play with a teammate like this.

[@gregs3173]

The Nets finished the season 11-51 last year. They signed Jeremy Lin to a 3 year/36 million deal. They could use Jimmer as a solid backup and pay him the league minimum. He's probably take the deal just to get out of China.

[@WorldBFree-lw6wo]

YEAH, BABY, YEAH! GO JIMMER! Home slice is lighting it up for Team Fredette in 'The Basketball Tournament' airing on ESPN. :D

[@khkartc]

I don't remember who it was, back in the mid-70s, who said he wasn't interested in any league in which Ernie DiGregorio "wasn't good enough" to play. I feel the same way about Jimmer Fredette, who's as good a shooter as anyone in the NBA now, including Steph Curry. Defense doesn't now, and never has, meant anything in the NSA, so this "D" talk is just a smokescreen for "anti-short white guy" bias.

[@mikeruck2888]

Im a fan of Jimmer but yall make him look bad by talking about the all star game. He wouldnt even make the all star game probably for a couple years. His subpar athleticism will hurt him at first, but like other subpar athletes in the NBA he'd figure it out. He'd be a great starting knock down shooter in the NBA but he's like AI, he'll never settle for a secondary role. This is his way of saying he can score enough to make up for any lack defensively, like other players currently in the NBA. They need to give him a good role in the NBA in order for him to get used to playing against that athleticism so he can overcome it. But it may never happen. Smh. I was hoping the Cavs picked him up 😂😂😂 That's an automatic door 😂😂

[@obranch2948]

People keep asking why Jimmers bum ass isn't in the NBA as if they didn't watch him play in the NBA. Nerves Bro! Btw these Chinese leagues are like city leagues Mccollums brother dropped close to 100 pts a year ago. Its levels yall

[@jackhuang5546]

Jimmer will not be able to do this in The NBA level. Not bashing him but it's the cold hard truth, CBA defense is nowhere close to NBA defense. I highly doubt he can do that with a Russell Westbrook on him or a chris Paul. Props to Jimmer tho. Probably the best player in China

[@retiredtidepodeater3339]

¿Que? Not even close. He'll be fortunate enough to average in the double figures.

[@idahoandude3284]

I can't believe this guy can't make an NBA roster. I know his defense is subpar, but so was the defense of guys like Steve Nash and even Kyle korver. then there's the flip side with guys like Tony Allen or DeAndre Jordan who have next to nothing for offensive skills and specialize at defense. I can't believe he couldn't get minutes, at least as a 3 point specialist

[@UceMecca]

NBA never gave him a chance. Look at his college games where he scored over Kawahi Leonard multiple times. He made Kawahi look like an elementary kid.

[@Princeofpicks]

He had steph curry range before steph curry

[@ib3scope]

Payam Mo Nope, Steph was doing this long before Jimmer, objectively. Watch his highschool and Davidson days.

[@griedd]

Contrition in high school curry wasn’t able to shoot from far .😂 one of the reasons why he didn’t do the greatest in high school was because he didn’t have enough strength to shoot from deep range . You obviously don’t know what you are talking about.

[@MacDaddy50]

The problem with Jimmer being 6'2 was not being a pure point guard. That's how the NBA looked at him. He can score but his college coach should have prepared him to be point cause of height.

[@MrDestiny54321]

Some of you butt hurt fans saying he ain't in the NBA because he is white are hilarious. My dude Jeremy Lin Asian and is the starting PG of the Nets. It's not the color of your skin it's if you can play basketball.

[@ShakenBake444]

put this man in the Fuckin league. it actually pisses me off how no team gave him the amount of time to see him develop and become great. I mean look at jimmer, he's averaging 50 fuckin points in Asia. I'll even start a petition called "let jimmer play"

[@AIRMASTER77]

Like OKC could not use him. Comments about he's not good enough to be in the NBA, BS! He can hit 3's plain and simple. He would get so many open 3's it would be insane.

[@Braselton21]

Kings & Pelicans ruined his NBA career. He should have played for a team like GSW where he'd play SG instead of PG and he would have the license to shoot 3s

[@lukelucas9448]

the only reason he is not in Nba is his name is not marketable. he can play in the NBA we all seen it. there excuse is defense but nobody plays defence in nba . he deserves it but won't get it. he just needs to stay in cba he looks like he is having fun and he making money doing it. he was curry before curry came. if jimmer would of had a dad that played in nba he would be where curry at

[@IveBeenChris]

I'm Asian and I have to admit Chinese people don't play D....... Ferdette come back in the NBA, he'll get lock down hard.

[@sdn40]

I see a player that isn't good enough for the NBA dominating against what looks like Division II type college talent playing high school level defense. And they lost.

[@GegiZ]

Andre Roberson is in NBA and jimmer isn't. wtf? and don't tell me that he is a good defender. defeender or not, he plays on shooting guard meaning, he must be able to shoot. that is simple.

[@simonmacek9009]

Guys this is a joke righ. Tell me you are all kiding i watched minute and a half and he did traveling like 2-3 times this guy is a garbage. My sister is the same she can shoot but she can't tap the ball.

[@thyslop1737]

This is China. Big deal. In the NBA he would not even be worthy to ride the bench.

[@richatlarge462]

Only because of slow defense. You can't take any old NBA player and have them make the kind of shots we saw in this video, whether they're playing in China or at the local gym.

[@thyslop1737]

Rich at Large Nice excuse. Can't start in the NBA, not even worthy to ride the bench.

[@iammr71]

i scored 71 points in Peru in only 40 min 20/28 from the field 12/17 from 3pt line 23/24 fts instagram @iammr71

[@drewcole4704]

I️m confused. They were down by 3 with 20 seconds to go in the first OT. Hit 2 3s. And it’s tied. How are they not up 3?

[@RecruitsChannel]

Jimmer wouldn't do sht in the nba, he trying so hard, taking half the shots the whole team takes, still the gm wont care

[@jayp48998]

It sucks to be his teammate cuz you will never touch the ball. And let's be true, the level of competition in China makes him great.
