Woodland Hills, Ca (I-Newswire) January 4, 2012 - Teen prodigy and basketball sensation, Jimmer Fredette, made his NBA debut on Dec 26th for Sacramento Kings. He has gained quite a lot of national attention during his high school and college days. He shot to fame as a basketball player, representing his team Brigham Young University.
