PERSON: Jimmer Fredette

Arguably the most talented college point guard in America, Jimmer Fredette has created a new breed of fan. Likened to idol-worship, the fervor that BYU fans share for their beloved Jimmer has swept basketball fans across the nation. And when provoked, they can get a little nasty: click here to see the fans' reactions to a woman who wrote a letter complaining about Jimmer's fame.

But even without his fans, Mr. Fredette has been excelling at the thing he does best. Averaging 25+ points per game, Jimmer has more than once made up more than 50% of his team's final score. Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder has boldly declared Jimmer Fredette as the "best scorer in the world" at any level. But it's his combination of talent and humility that really sets him apart from other players. A team player, Fredette is quick to acknowledge his fellow ballers in every interview.

He's amazing. There's not much more to be said.
