Hundreds of Fans Went to Sacramento International Airport to Greet Jimmer Fredette

All, Fans, NBA, Video Jason McIntyre June 27th. 2011, 4:56pm

Really, Sacramento? Yeah, I’m impressed.

As if that wasn’t enough, fans turned out again for an “official” welcome party at Arden Mall. Make sure to listen for the roar Fredette gets – it’s double what Tyler Honeycutt (UCLA) and Isaiah Thomas (Washington) receive.

Poor Marcus Thornton, John Salmons and Paul Westphal. You know Tyreke Evans is going to be on the floor, because he’s their best player. Those other two guards? Good luck. The Maloofs want to appea$e their fanbase and get people to the areana … and that’s going to mean minutes for Jimmer. Not garbage time, either.

I’m may be in the minority, but I like Jimmer in Cow Town. I think he’ll be a good fit for that team.

If were from Glens Falls, I’d be happy to be in Sacramento as well. Glens Falls is a heaping pile of fail.

Arnold wasn’t living in Sacramento. He commuted from SoCal and stayed in a hotel in Sactown

Sacramento has a small downtown, the A’s AAA baseball team (Raley Field is actually really nice) and is surrounded by vast nothingness and farm towns.

A ballstopper and subpar passer playing next to a PG who won’t distribute and a low-post player who wants the ball every possession?

I have never been to Sacramento but I do know it is about three freeway exits in the wasteland that is Northern California.

I was thinking more simplistically … Like a guy who can hit open J’s when Evans draws the defense in on a dive to the basket and Cousins gets double-teamed down on the block … I’m giving Jimmer the benefit of the doubt that he can change it up a little in the NBA … He’s all BYU had.

It was destiny for Jimmer to play with someone with the last name ‘Cousins’. He truly does heart Ronald:

Does Cousins know how to pass out of a double-team? If he can run with the guys, he’ll hit the shots… it’s getting those shots.

Would have loved to see Jimmer on a good team… I can see him thriving on any playoff team, but not as much on a dysfunctional team that will be out for itself.

Sacramento had shanty towns, real shanty towns on the outskirts when I was on an Amtrak train through there. It looked like I Am Legend.

At least Sacramento has the river, which occasionally gets a lost whale, and the governor’s mansion, which, uh…used to house Ronald Reagan.
Bakersfield has Joey Porter and the carcass of a mini-horse.

Bakersfield itself doesn’t, but most of the surrounding farm towns do. Bakersfield is home to such lovely people as Frank Gifford, Buck Owens, Korn, and Joey Porter.
