Nice piece on Jimmer Fredette in the New York Times that includes material from and about Talor Battle. Excerpt:
Battle recalled hitting the winning shot that day after Fredette fouled out, and it started a friendly rivalry and strong friendship. If Fredette saw that Battle scored 40, he wanted 41. If Battle saw that Fredette’s Glens Falls High School team won by 15, he wanted his Bishop Maginn High School team to win by 16. Hart said that within the tight-knit Albany basketball circles, Battle and Fredette became the area’s version of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Local folks would argue for hours over who was better.
“I think it raised both of our games to the next level,” Fredette said. “It made us what we are today.”
