Jimmer Fredette recently announced his retirement from basketball and his new role as managing director of the USA Basketball men’s 3×3 national team. In an interview, he reflected on his decision to retire after realizing he no longer enjoyed the daily grind of training, especially following an injury during the Paris Olympics. Fredette also discussed potential changes to Olympic 3×3 rules, including allowing player substitutions for injuries and the possibility of U.S. Olympic Trials to showcase players, while expressing a preference for maintaining the integrity of homegrown 3×3 competitors.
