Jimmer Fredette grew up in a working-class family in a working-class town, and it is hard to avoid the conclusion that the work ethic that surrounded him turned out to be an essential part of his basketball dominance. Jimmer's dad, Al, explained, "Myself and my wife and other people, every day we had to work. Our neighbors, the community, the area, we had to work and work hard and Jimmer understood that."
The quote comes from a brilliant article at Philly.com, titled "Jimmer Fredette's unlikely path to becoming a star," written by a reporter familiar with Fredette's home town of Glen Falls, New York.
