    Jimmer Fredette was named MVP of the D-League All-Star Game with 35 points.

    Fredette is still trying to get back to the NBA.

    "You're always hopeful," said Fredette. "Everybody in this league, that's what their dream is. They want to get back or into the NBA, or further their career. That's what this league is for, and I'm no different."

    Fredette is averaging 22.6 points and 4.8 assists per game for the Westchester Knicks.

    I won employee of the month twice in the past 12 months. Was the first ever repeat winner.

    Nobody cares about me or Jimmer.

    I bet you're quite the proud mother today--congratulations! Make sure you tell ol' Jimmer that I said, "Good game!"

    No, Bayless was Employee of the Month where he worked. Bayless can toast a mean hot cross(over) bun.

    Yeah, I just looked. Bayless was never in the dleague. So, that comment makes 0 sense.

    A lottery team that needs 3-point shooting like the Lakers or Philly should take a flyer. I think he could be used as JJ Reddick type player, run off a screens and only look to bomb 3s. Hope he's been working on his D though.

    Tim Frazier, Elliot Williams and Malik Hairston (former Duck) all won D league mvps...Tim warms our bench, EWill is playing in Greece and Hairston never got a job in the league other than a couple of 10 day call ups. All 3 are better than Jimmer Fredette

    Wow, Ewill just had some 10 dayers this year... I'm surprised he can't stick in the league.

    I'd say Jimmer is better than Frazier and Hairston... And I really do not like Jimmer at all.

    Steve Kerr eats steak for dinner, Jimmer eats whatever he finds in the dumpster behind Applebee's.

    Where's the poor man's MJ playing these days?

    We got the poor man's Kobe so we need the poor man's Shaq.

    I thought that was Oliver Miller but apparently it is some AND1 guy by the name of Troy Jackson, who is the brother of Mark Jackson. I wonder if there was a 3rd Jackson brother and if this Troy guy ate him.

    Edit: I just saw that this guy is also deceased so that was in poor taste. RIP big man.
