Walt Williams
The Maryland product’s foray into music didn’t end with his memorable cameo in Hootie and the Blowfish’s breakthrough single “Only Wanna Be With You,” in which he laughs at the camera in close-ups and drives to the hoop in his black Kings practice threads.
Nearly a decade later, the forward dropped his own rap album – Insight of a Wizzard – the cover of which appears to have been created with MS Paint. The 20-track opus doesn’t have any readily-available videos online, but an Amazon reviewer definitively states it’s the “best album ever by a basketball player.”
Jimmer Fredette
Jimmer was once famously name-dropped in a Lil’ Wayne track, but No. 7 isn’t the established emcee in the Fredette family. That honor belongs to his brother, T.J., who penned “Amazing,” an inspirational ode to the 2011 National Player of the Year’s basketball journey, displaying an abundance of vintage clips and highlights of the BYU standout in the accompanying video.
At the peak of his collegiate stardom, the high-scoring guard was also the subject of Feel Good Music Coalition’s “Teach Me How to Jimmer” – a parody of Cali Swag District’s hit single “Teach Me How to Dougie” – which showcases dozens of fans donning Fredette jerseys and Cougars apparel in the video and includes some of the most incredible lyrics of all time.
Coast to coast, who loves him the most, huh?
Chuck Norris even has a Jimmer poster.
32, you’re my hero, yes, y’all heard me,
Superman sleeps in a (what?) Jimmer jersey.
Now what I’m about to say just might sound crazy,
Can you be the surrogate for my baby?
