Jimmer went to BYU, so of course he is gonna get cheers. Nothing to do with religion. we don't need a basketball player to afirm our faith.
It's no different than fans who cheered Keith Van Horn. It happened. A great player plays at your favorite school, you like to see him do well in the pros.
Wow, are you lying or just stupid?
The crowd was CHANTING for Jimmer. If you're a Jazz fan you DO NOT chant for another teams player. Period. Sure, cheer during the lineup announcement. But every time he gets the ball and shoots? Give me a break. That was ridiculous.
