What is a Jimmer?!

The past couple of weeks, BYU shooting guard Jimmer Fredette has emerged as one of college basketballs top scorers. The first time I heard of Jimmer, I asked myself "what the hell is a Jimmer?" Well for those who don't know what a Jimmer is, a Jimmer is a 6'2 guard who gets buckets!!! Leading the nation in scoring at 27.4 pts a game. He is best known for his incredible shooting range. His game reminds me somewhat of Stephen Curry who is currently playing for the Golden State Warriors. When Curry was playing for Davidson, he averaged 28.9 pts his final season. According to analysts over at ESPN, they don't see Fredette having a lot of success in the NBA. The same things that they were saying about Curry, they are saying about Fredette as well. "No defense, cant run the point, won't handle the pressure of the NBA..." Hopefully Jimmer Fredette will prove all the nay-sayers wrong just like Stephen Curry is currently trying to do.

The Warm up...

Welcome, welcome! This is my first post "The Warm Up" because I just want to warm you all up for the greatness that this blog site will drop. This blog is for all my fellow basketball fanatics out there. If you have love for the game whether its from the professional, collegiate, or high school level, this blog will definitely be of interest to you. Let me first start off by saying Old Dominion University Basketball what up! We taking the tournament this year (probably not). Everybody knows its that one player or team that doesn't get the shine or recognition that they deserve. It may be because they are not on the national spot light or they are being overlooked by other players. This blog is made for those people and teams. Gettingbucketz.blogspot.com will highlight the careers of various athletes all around the nation. And on that note, the 757 produce some of best athletes by the way, but we'll get into that in another post. So be on the lookout for the latest news and buzz at the professional, collegiate, and high school levels.
