NBA legend Bill Walton weighed in on Jimmer Fredette recently. He told Slam Online:
“My favorite player and my favorite story in college basketball this year is Jimmer Fredette, who I just think is fantastic. He’s a combination of Pete Maravich, Larry Bird, Danny Ainge and JJ Barea. Just exemplifies everything you look for in a player. And what makes it so much fun for me is he’s a little, skinny, scrawny guy, which is what I used to be. ... Our world has become one of power, of size, of strength, with nothing but the winners of the genetic lottery. And there’s little Jimmer Fredette, out there just torching them all."
Last I checked, Bill Walton was 6'11", so it's funny that he identifies with the "little guy." But it's no surprise that he's a Jimmer fan -- every NBA legend on record lately seems to cheering for BYU's #32.
