FIBA 3×3 Basketball is raging in full glory as fans are witnessing one high-voltage performance after another. The ongoing iteration of the 3×3 format in Abu Dhabi recently witnessed another unbelievable play by a US star. The NBA dropout and the Team Miami powerhouse stole the show once again with an insane offensive execution.

Jimmer Fredette is a 34-year-old American basketball star who has been going full-throttle in every match for quite some time. A video uploaded on social media displayed his amazing match-winning play at the last minute. In fact, Fredette scored the final points off a spectacular offensive rebound.

Jimmer Fredette rules the 3×3 Basketball format once again

Jimmer Fredette has been cruising on infinite amounts of momentum at the moment. He has shown great skills ever since his debut back in 2022. However, things took a tangible turn after he led Team Miami to clinch America’s first world tour win in four years. With his foot on the gas ever since, the 3×3 basketball specialist recently wreaked havoc on San Juan as well.

San Juan and Team Miami dueled each other in a close contest where the tide could have shifted anywhere. However, it was Jimmer Fredette who clinched the final points of the match. USA Basketball 3×3 tweeted a video of his match-ending bucket with the caption, “PUTBACK FTW #3x3WTAbuDhabi | @jimmerfredette.” The video showcased Fredette grabbing an offensive rebound off teammate Kareem Maddox’s attempt and finishing with a spectacular bucket. The final bucket came with just 49 seconds remaining, with San Juan dangerously close to victory themselves. 

The 3×3 basketball specialist winged the last bucket when the score was 20-19. Antonio Ralat, the high scorer of San Juan, had a 3/5 hot hand from downtown in the match. However, Fredette secured an offensive rebound before Ralat could gain another possession and win the 3×3 basketball game. The nail-biting victory comes days after Fredette propelled USA to their second Pan American Games victory in Santiago.
