Jimmer Fredette Scores 40 PPG In China..Why Isn’t He an NBA Player? 

Because there are only 6 things that prove he is not human. NBA requires 7.

How could Jimmer Fredette be looked at as the next Steph Curry at that time, when Steph Curry wasn't even considered the first Steph Curry yet?

This guy is literally living the 2K19 my career

He is basically Steph Curry with a ten foot vertical

When you're a Stephen Curry with 39inch vertical

because he isn’t steph curry with a 40 inch vertical

11:20 He starts saying reasons here

This man can make a potato sound like a 4 times MVP

Jimmer isn't leaving China. The fans love him and he's on a team where he can put up ridiculous numbers. Also, he's making good money. Not NBA money, but he's not poor by any means.

This story is almost like... 2k19?

Today comes at Europe at PANATHINAIKOS🇬🇷☘️

He dominated in College, The D-League & if you go by 36 minutes averages around 20 ppg. Dude can play, he didn’t get enough minutes in the NBA.

He's too overpowered so silver banned him

Lakers will pick him up as a replacement in the playoffs vs spurs. He will then be picked up by a NBA team in free agency and go on to be called AI

Who’s here after the suns signing??

Jimmers from my hometown and I played with him at the YMCA...it's insane how good he is...never played with anyone at that level

He played for the Kings, that's the problem.

Mike Korzembas Facecam will BREAK THE NBA

Pssssssss, lavar ball scores 100 points every minute and he isn’t even in the NBA

Jimmer signed with Panathinaikos in Greece. Now he'll have to face more serious Greek League and Euroleague defenses, so we can see how good he's become.

Also nobody though Jimmer was gonna be the next Curry. Curry only got popular in like 2013 when he scored like 10 threes against the Knicks and he players were only compared to Curry and called “ The Next Curry “ after the Warriors had won a championship.

Conspiracy Theory: Is Mike Korzemba secretly Jimmer Fredette?

For a minute Jared Sullinger was China’s leading scorer and rebounder despite being slow & outta shape to be in the NBA. Playing in China is not a great way to measure NBA talent, that’s where old retired, non prime NBA talent goes.

He's making more $$$ in China with salary and endorsement

2k19 Prelude intensifies

“ looked more like a golfer than a future nba lottery pick”

Who’s here after the suns got him?

That's the same conclusion I came to, that Fredette is one of those guys who can only be effective if the team is built around his offensive skillset. There was another guy named Walter Berry who was a lottery pick a generation earlier, played three seasons in the NBA and averaged about 14ppg, then spent 13 more years in Europe putting up video game stats. He never got another shot at the NBA because teams knew he wouldn't, and probably couldn't, play a secondary role.

Because that’s China and not the NBA...

"Its better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond"

As a San Diego state fan at that game I will,never forget what he did to us. He torched us and Kawahi. Hands down

I played baseball with him in Glen's falls NY.. I remember every single at bat he hit a home run if we pitched to him.. crazy athlete all around

When you realize Jimmer will be a HOFer because of China

“One of the most famous faces on the planet” Yeah Mike I don’t think anyone outside the US knew who jimmer was

THIS VIDEO WAS SO PERFECTLY TIMED AND RELEASED

Love this channel. Keep it up

Mike you do know Marbury is 41 years old now bro, he’s not the same player who was putting up 28ppg in the NBA not the CBA. 😂

A thought it was mike at the thumbnail at first glance

Mike, you took that unnamed assistant's quote as if it was fact, you wouldn't be a good legal judge!

Has anybody told you that you look like the young version of Jimmer Fredette Mike??

Jimmer lowkey looks like Korzemba in 20 years

Mike korzemba could be Julius Newman's agent and NBA teams would draft him first overall

I was at that game he did that against Arizona. One of the craziest sports experiences I've ever experienced. He dominated an entire team who was "elite"

Mike just want to tell you your doing a great job keep up the work

Michale Beasley averaged 40 ppg in China and got the MVP, too...

Marbury is like 41. mike are you smoking man used to get buckets in the nba unlike Jimmer

before watching the video just seeing the title I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU and damn he scored 40 against THE ROCKETS with his fckn team

I love your videos you are one of the things that makes me love basketball even more

I feel like Jimmer range should have done this video

Fun fact Mike korzemba is Jimmer fredette

I love watching the Korzemba's

Hey Mike I got a interesting What If that could have actually happened....and there are alot of Maverick fans that ask this...What If the Mavericks drafted Giannis Antetokounmpo in the 2013 draft? I am not sure if you know this but Dallas was going to take Giannis @ pick 13. However Mark Cuban overruled Donnie Nelson, head of the scouting Dept, and traded down to 18 for cap space to be able to sign Dwight Howard in FA. Edit: It would be a fairly quick What if for you given it only goes back 5 years, but it could have some profound effects...

Dominating in China is like me saying I dominated little kids in the play ground, sign me up NBA! Case in point: Stephon Marbury was clearly done in the NBA (too slow to drive, not accurate enough as a reliable shooter, lost his court vision to be effective passer, i.e., done), but he went to China and "dominated" for many years, and I think even won the MVP in China (playing well into his 40s). Yi Jianlian, who can't get off the bench playing for the Mavericks, is considered a "top 5 player" in China. Enough said.

Jimmer is China Jordan

Reminds me of Chauncey Billups. Lottery pick, called a bust by the end of his first season. Bounced around a few teams. Detroit saw something in him, he needed to prove something. Detroit built their offense around him and he became a legend.

He just signed a 4 year contract with the suns 😂

Wtf you compare him to 40yo Marbury? Marbury in prime would torch him.

Simple answer is that the gap is huge between Euroleague and CBA, let alone the NBA and CBA.

I just started looking into it but i want to see a deep dive into the difference between Jimmer and Klay Thompson. I think an organizations ability to draft the right players and utilize them properly is huge when it comes to a players career which is pretty obvious.

I can make this videos in 5 second and the video goes "BECAUSE HE IS NOT A TEAM PLAYER" end 😁

Mike why didn’t you put up that game he had against the Houston Rockets in the preseason. Where he scored 40 points... on 40 shots... 😂😂😂

Future Carmelo teammate

when mike korzemba popped up i thought it was jimmer himself lmao

I think what it ultimately came down to is Jimmer knowing that by going into the NBA he'd never be the same player he was in college. He values having the ball in his hands, getting playing time, and being dominant over getting paid more by sitting on the bench and getting like 10 minutes of play time in the NBA. He's a guy who truly loves basketball from my perspective. Call him selfish for calling the NBA teams stupid for not having him be the center of their franchise all you want but in reality one of the teams should've given him a fair shot just based on the fact that Jimmer knows what he brings to the table with his talent and mental toughness. His college resume is one of a kind and it was sad for me to see him lose his final game to Florida in the Sweet 16 cause he played a hell of a game that day.

Wait a minute this is the 2k19 story he is in china

my 11th grade history teacher(2016-17) is close with the fredettes and she said he deserves another chance in the nba. i said nah ill put 50 on him right now 😂😂😂 she was tight

this aged well he just got signed to the suns on a team option 2 year contract

Καλώς ήρθες στην μεγαλύτερη ομάδα της Ευρώπης☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘

Just put him on the cavs he’s gonna be shooting a lot

Why would you want to leave China??? They treat you like a King and you can score 40ppg

you help him get sign to the suns !!!!! lmaoo

He just dropped 70 again lmao 😂

Short answer: He can't play defense. Slightly longer answer: He couldn't defend a coffee table.

Jimmer really is playing in the prelude, with Stephon being Markus

He’s not finished the prelude for NBA 2K19 yet 😂😂

Shooting like jimmer jumping in that water boy you better be a swimmer

But is he a steph curry with a 40 inch vertical?

Wait wait back up. From the jump, NO ONE, NO ONE, except now mike, _EVER compared Jimmer to Wardell Curry, not even Wardell Sr, let alone, Wardell JR, aka Steph._ *Why would anyone be saying Jimmer could be the NEXT... 3rd year player who only played 30% of the season, never avg more than 2 made 3ptrs a game over 3 season, and his avg scoring has dropped from18 to 14ppg?* No one ever brought up Curry with Jimmer, no1 carried about Curry then either. _It was friggin Ellis's team still, I live Oakland, that was Ellis and Lee's team, why compare Jimmer to a #3 guy on a total TRASH team?_ Lets stop trying to compare, and def not pretend to compare ppl to outliers, No, Zion, nor anyone else will ever be the next LEBRON. And No one cared about Curry outside of the Bay area until 2013ish, no one compares a lottery nowadays to Jamal Murray or Thon Maker... thats the equivalent of jimmer drawing curry comparisons at the time. Lol GSW and Curry were so off the map, I used to get tix to the game, lower level, for $30-45. Sometimes 2 for 50 if it was the knicks or portland. Exact same ticket now costs $350. Just like the tickets steph blew up, but back then a curry comp would had honestly been INSULTING to the Jimmer

That Marbury comparison is not a fair comparison. Everybody from his NBA draft class and Allstar class are just about retired. Marbury in his prime would bury Fredette, it’s not even close in which one of them had the most successful NBA career.

This aged well...

I was JUST ASKING where Mike was 😂

is thon maker the next 7"3' steph curry with a 40 inch vert?

Where do you get your background music from for your videos?

Are you this Dude's agent or something ? Jimmer WAS in the NBA. He was TOO SLOW on defense, not athletic enough and simply a volume shooter. Great ! He is doing wonderfully in "China". What's wrong with that ? I averaged 45 ppg in my competitive Church league. Why am I not in the NBA, I get asked daily ? Because I would get cooked on that level - just like Jimmer. Good luck in China to Jimmer ! Fedette and Tebow should get together and tour the country ! LOL

There is quite a difference between China and the NBA

If I was Jimmer, I would never leave China. My basketball career would be spent there. If Jimmer ended up leaving China, he should only go to another country. He should not try to get back into the NBA. With the numbers which Jimmer is putting up in China, there would be no need to come back to the NBA. His NBA Numbers would be nowhere close to what his China Numbers have been. Personally, I wonder if Jimmer would be able to make it in the NBA. With his first attempt in the NBA, Jimmer failed. I just cannot imagine him succeeding a second time around. Therefore, there is no reason to mess up a good thing. Like I previously stated, if Jimmer ended up leaving China, he should go to another foreign country. In order to continue his professional basketball career, a move back to the United States would be an unwise decision.

Hi Mike ... just an update, Jimmer signed up for Panathinaikos (Athens,Greece) so we will get to see him in Euroleague

He's back! YAY! They only gave him 4 minutes his first game as a Sun. More PT please!

Jimmer is in the NBA and is 0 overall. One like is one higher overall. Can he get to 100 overall?

lakers should be getting jimmer. he is a good spot up shooter

I’m happy that he still found success though, even if it wasn’t in the NBA. He did really well for himself.

The font of the stats is odly satisfying

I honestly have no idea what to think after this video.

Were they saying things like "He's gonna be THE NEXT Steph curry?" I just find that hard to believe seeming as how Steph curry was not a big name at all when Jimmer was drafted. They were more likely to compare him to Ray allen or Larry Bird, not Steph.

“Next Steph Curry” at this time Steph wasnot hype at all, not even an all star team

8:58 u should’ve add “in China” there mikee

I could see him getting picked up by the Warriors tbh. I could see him putting up 10 ppg off the bench if he can make shots for the first time in his career.

Who else here because they pulled a pink diamond jimmer

He is still on the prelude😂😂

I watched this video when it came out but now In 2K he is legit in the nba
