Tonight's featured contest marks the return of a legend back to New York. You guessed it: Jimmermania invades NYC!!Jimmer Fredette, a native of Glens Falls (a small town about two-and-a-half hours north of New York City) is New York State's 6th all-time leading scorer in high school basketball history. The sharpshooting guard is averaging 8.2 points per game in his rookie campaign, impressive numbers for the humble baller from Upstate.
Tonight predicts to be an undoubtedly emotional affair for both Jimmer and Knick fans, as one of their own returns home. The BYU alum will serve as the main topic of conversation around the water cooler in offices everywhere this afternoon. His story will also be the primary focus of the MSG coverage. In other words, expect to hear his name early and often!
In his first foray home as a professional, Fredette looks to avenge a December loss to the Knicks in which the New Yorker shot 2-10 from the field. With the entire city locked in on Jimmer's story, expect the savior to write another epic chapter in his ever-growing narrative.
One Game We Won't Watch Tonight: Milwaukee Bucks vs. New Orleans Hornets
The Hornets are pretty bad this season, but at least Chris Kaman is back. If New Orleans turn their season around, somehow make the playoffs, and Kaman continues to put up his recent numbers, then you have to include the German in MVP discussions.
