he's on the usa 3x3 team now

CBA fan here. I can attest that Jimmer was a KILLER in CBA.

[@Reefer-Rampage69]

How does one watch the CBA if not living in China Id like to watch

@@typical_chest8315 What about it? I see that he’s probably Chinese I still wanted to know an answer

[@typical_chest8315]

If he was in China he prop would not speak English guys

[@christoforos0609]

I was very happy when my team, Panathinaikos, signed him in 2019. He was able to score from literally anywhere. Our coach Rick Pitino did not appreciate his defense weaknesses, so he spent some time on the bench too. The 2019-2020 was cut short due to the pandemic. Jimmer could have made a bigger impact had things gone differently (no covid etc). Be well man!

[@coopsaf]

I could definitely see him playing on the 3x3 Olympic team. That would be awesome!

[@samuelqueen2708]

he's on the 3x3 usa team right now

[@future_teknokrat7585]

What kills most great college scorers at the pro level is size (bulk) and lack of defense. If you are a defensive liability, then you must be able to get a bucket and create your own shot.

[@arthurman6129]

It’s interesting how JJ Barea was able to have a long and productive NBA career but Jimmer wasn’t about to stick at all

[@wraynephew6838]

JJ Barea was in a better situation. The mavs were a championship caliber team. The kings were an awful team when Jimmer was drafted.

[@burchidoaol3621]

Barea defend like his life depends, that's the difference between them

[@tyler-hp7oq]

Barea was like the heart and soul of the Mavs. It's like Haslem in Miami. Haslem hasn't played in years, but Miami still pays him lol.

[@affliction2k02]

@@tyler-hp7oqif jimmer went to a different team than the kings maybe it would be different

[@adamdavis5383]

@@wraynephew6838 He was in Minnesota too, actually. It was the same with Draymond Green; he would be nothing if he was drafted by the Kings or Pistons like Jimmer. I feel if Bennett didn’t have the pressure of being the number one pick, he would have lasted longer and missed like 19-21 straight buckets. They could have gotten Victor Oladipo or drafted Giannis, but no one knew he would be great; he just got super strong. He was a skinny Chet Holmgrem coming in.

[@fightingfortruth9806]

The Kings were the absolute worst place Jimmer could have gone to. The franchise was in complete disarray when he arrived and they never used him correctly.

[@LeBeautiful]

I remmeber Jimmer had the CLOUT Of Curry/Klay when he made it..CBA made him a demon

[@Kaijuus]

It just shows how bad the CBA league is when a person like Jimmer can have multiple 70 points a game.

[@JayDay32]

You say that but these are athletes in the top 3% of the world. That’s pretty dang good.

[@kingjro2]

I saw him at TBT. Dude was not exactly BYU Jimmer.

[@andrewfilmsdrums]

You said his junior year was his “First ever March madness game.” Wrong. Jimmer played in March madness all 4 years of college.

[@DAAR53]

Jimmer-maina was something else

[@colegreenberg9082]

Great video!

[@PaeboMondia]

His Mormon Jesus had other plans for Jimmer.

[@Ramza2004]

01:58 “across the globe”? Dude no one cares about NCAA college basketball outside of the US. I live in a NBA diehard country. Probably the biggest outside of the US. And I’d say only less than 1% of NBA fans out here care about NCAA college basketball. We only look up who are the top players from NCAA once the NBA draft is coming up. I actually only learned about Fredette during the draft itself. I’m surprised at how Americans think non-Americans obsess about everything that happens in the US. We don’t. I came upon the same observation about the NFL. From comments on social media during Super Bowl, I realize that Americans think that American Football is so huge all over the world. It’s not.

[@l3frrb142]

Y’all beat them in the championship game wym?

[@Exileonbackroad]

It's hard to take a guy named Jimmer seriously.

[@FRANCISCOARZATE-z2r]

The nba did not give him the same chance they gave other players especially given that the nba is a run and gun league....he would have flourished!

[@lizzylagoon]

he cant get over 10 points in the nba, he averages 30+ in the cba, and averages 14 in greece but the cba isn’t easy?

[@Im__Andy-f6x]

CBA competition is still hard but is a tier below NBA

[@lizzylagoon]

@@Im__Andy-f6x clearly a few tiers below

[@banben3508]

You guys are aware that playing time and role enable players to score/ not score. He never got much playing time in NBA. That said, he definitely has weak defense

[@tyler-hp7oq]

Dude gets a couple minutes in the NBA. He plays the whole time in the CBA. If you're not a starter or roleplayer it's kind of hard to stay in the NBA. You only get a couple minutes to prove yourself and if you can't do that you're done.

[@rodneysalazar2755]

I like your videos; but, not you dragging out every last word of each sentence.

[@mccrank1986]

so true!

[@dawidklucz849]

What a wonderful ending of his magnificent basketball story will be gold medal for USA in Paris!!!! IN Jimmer we trust

[@manuelayala926]

Maybe it was too much pressure for him… in college he was a big fish in a small pond.. In the nba pretty much 95% of the other pg’s are already way better than him… He wasn’t used to that… then going over seas the competition wasnt as skillful. Thus he was able to destroy them with ease.

[@tyler-hp7oq]

He just had a lower ceiling than other players. Players who he spanked in college ended up becoming way better in the long run. He pretty much peaked in college.

[@yura50597]

So can somebody explain college stats to me? Like 16 points per game in college is like X ppg in the NBA. What is the X?

[@swatteamAA]

That’s like averaging 22

[@Forwhut]

16 pts per game is probably like 6 points per game in the NBA

[@tanepoe4714]

​@@Forwhut huh? 😆

[@Forwhut]

@@tanepoe4714 that’s the equivalent to PPG in the NBA . If you averaging 16 points in college that’ll prolly be like you averaging a cool 6 or 8 points in the league

Maybe jimmer has integrity and didn't go along with the script,it's for entertainment purposes only,he had to do what gambling books told him to,match fixing isn't illegal in the USA,the leagues have the right to have a pre determined conclusion if it benefits the league and or advertisers

He most definitely could play in the league I think he could shoot with the best in the league. He's just short and white

[@kilocasanova6838]

Being short an white means nothing, John Stockton is proof of that. Hes the all time NBA leader in steals and assist. Jimmer was a shooter, but his D was weak and he couldnt control the floor from PG.

[@theman9048]

He couldn't that's why he ain't in the league

[@tjordan2757]

Lol nah he just couldn't keep up with the big boys

[@tgo007]

It's his defense. I would hire him as a role player catch and shoot 3 pointers but the problem is his defense is so bad that it's not worth it. He's tiny and slow. Not a bad 3 point shooter.

[@SoggySlopster]

@@tgo007 you literally just described Luka whos even worse on defense ☠️
