Jimmer Fredette, a different kind of basketball globetrotter, continues to draw attention even far from the NBA. At age 34, the three-point shot master led the United States 3x3 team to a gold medal at the Pan American Games in Santiago on Monday and started setting his mind to the Paris Olympics. The few thousand locals watching the U.S. team play host Chile in the men's final were not too keen on “Jimmermania" at the start, but their hearts eventually softened for Fredette and his teammates.
