All faithful Cougar fans knew it would only be a matter of time, and now the wait is over — BYU legend Jimmer Fredette is officially the best player in the NBA. (Technically.)

How is this possible you ask? Isn't it true that Jimmer barely gets off the bench for the lowly Sacramento Kings? How could the best player in the league be resigned to such a ghastly fate? Doesn't this strike you as a strange claim given the preponderance of evidence to the contrary?

These are all fair questions. But do you know who cares little for your doubt and skepticism? Mathematics. That's right, arithmetic — which we know is, by definition, never wrong — has unilaterally decreed that one James Taft Fredette is the best player in the NBA. (Kind of.)

Let me explain.

The Great Wall of Jimmer

Apologies, Post-Jimmerers. As you have undoubtedly noticed, the blog hasn't been active since before the WCC tournament. Part of that had to do with me growing increasingly despondent over what I was seeing on the court, and part of it had to be with me just being too lazy to stay up late writing recaps after games ended at 1:00 AM here in the Eastern time zone. In any case, it is what it is.

That being said, this is too good to not share: Somebody has apparently created Jimmer graffiti.
