Jimmer Fredette has impressed everyone with his staunch scoring skill and ability to stand like a pillar when the team needs him to. The former Chicago Bulls player is known for his ability to drop balls through hoops like Stephen Curry. In Miami’s most recent matchup, Fredette unlocked another Stephen Curry skill. USA Basketball 3×3 uploaded a clip of his next Curry-skill on its official X account, showcasing a jaw-dropping ankle-breaker. 

The tweet carried the caption, “Jimmer helped him audition for Dancing With The Stars.” The humorous jibe by USA Basketball aptly described the amazing ball-handling skills of Jimmer Fredette. The former Chicago Bulls player unleashed his inner Stephen Curry once again and displayed elegant and misleading foot and ball work. The starry ankle break was followed by a humiliating downtown splash by the basketball sensation. 

The shot broke the tie between Miami and opponents Vienna and earned his team a 17-15 lead. This wasn’t the first time Vienna faced difficulties from the US baller. In fact, Fredette cost Vienna a back-to-back title win with a stellar MVP performance last month.
