John Saunders on The Jimmer: http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebaske...immer-fredette

That was kind of awkwardly edited. Seemed like he was going to continue talking and the clip just ended.

Lakers radio color commentator, Mychal Thompson on Jimmer, from the Mason and Ireland show:

"I am exasperated with the idiots and the ignorance out there in our business..."

Former overall number one draft pick and current LA Lakers radio color commentator Mychal Thompson gets upset by criticisms of Jimmer Fredette's game.

Thompson tells the Mason and Ireland radio show in Los Angeles:

"Remember this happened to Kevin Love coming out of UCLA. Well, you know, he's this. He's that. Code words for, 'He's white and we don't think he can translate what he's doing in college to the NBA level and I am sick of it because it's the same thing or just as bad as people downplaying Cam Newton. The best player in college football. The best quarterback in college football and he's not going to be the number one pick for a team that is desperate for a quarterback? Go figure."

"I keep hearing that he's not athletic. I'm going, 'Are you kidding me?'"

"This guy dunks on people. No one goes around him off the dribble. He creates his own shot off the dribble. And he's not athletic? Code word for, 'He's white and we don't know if he can really play at the next level.'"

"What are these scouts not watching?

The radio hosts then try to compare his skills to Adam Morrison's (personal aside: that comparison is about as relevant as John Stockton vs. Adam Keefe.)

"Whatever scout says that, fire him on the spot. Are you kidding me? This kid reminds me, he's a version of Stephen Curry and Steve Nash and you're trying to tell me those skills don't translate to the NBA? Come on.

If GM's are stupid enough to let this kid fall in the 20's... the Lakers should jump, try to get what they can to move to get him."

Thompson's passion on the subject may derive from his own personal frustration with what he perceives to be prejudice:

"My son is biracial. I'm black. His mother is white. He's more his mother's color than I am and there's no doubt in my mind that he's suffering the same stereotype."

Klay Thompson is a junior shooting guard at Washington State.

This week's MWC POW should be called the "Karl Malone MVP Award"

What shit have did you eat, that any Lakers fan have did not eat?

Klay is a solid baller too, I will give him a standing clap when he is introduced Thursday night.

It's an homage to Karl Malone and his inability to put a coherent sentence together. It was also an attempt at telling you Lakers fans that Karl's MVP trophy was earned and not a default award. (Don't worry, even as a Jazz fan I can admit the fact that Kobe only has 1 MVP is a travesty beyond words.)

BTW, this is Jimmer's thread so sorry to get us off track.

Jimmer is Jimmerific!!

A denizen of Utefans posted this link to a blogger who reports Jimmer was less than humble following his SDSU performance. The blogger will surely face the fire of eternal damnation for his blasphemy.

The funny part is that it appears Cougarboarders arose as one to post a long list of repudiating comments. The best, however, came from President Monsen at the end. I assume members of the First Presidency take turns monitoring cyberspace to protect against slanders such as this. I'm pleased the prophet was on duty when this outrage was committed.

Our man johnnylingo also showed to defend Saint Jimmer. This act of courage and kindness should be noted by the EC board of appeals.

Jimmer at the Jazz game tonight trying to learn something from Raja Bell. So far, nothing.
