Even more than a decade removed from the height of his fame as a college basketball star, Jimmer Fredette is among the latter. On a recent picture-perfect day in Marseille, France, Fredette decided to walk the one mile to his team’s practice ahead of the FIBA 3x3 World Tour, a sport that was added to the Olympics in 2020.
Looking back, Fredette calls his NBA career “very up and down” but says he has no regrets about how it unfolded. “I did all I could with what I had at that point,” he said. “Maybe I wish that I was a little bit more confident going into some of those games. But it was understandable of me just trying to figure it out.
