Jimmer Fredette hasn’t played a game in Shanghai yet, but it sounds like his cult following already is going global.

Fredette’s career with the Shanghai Sharks began with a 3-point barrage and cold-blooded free throws Friday, showing his usual flare and in-the-gym range when he led the Chinese Baseball Association team to a tournament championship in Singapore.

Playing in the six-team Merlion Cup before their regular season opens, the Sharks stole the championship, 78-77, from the Philippines-based Mighty Sports thanks to some Fredette magic, the CBA’s answer to Steph Curry already rearing his head.

The Knicks’ ill-fated flier (and low point?) poured in 43 points (or 41? The box score is tough to come by), including a fourth-quarter onslaught that vaulted the Sharks from 14 points down to Merlion Cup champs in the title game.

Down two in the closing seconds, Fredette forced up a patented 3-point prayer and was hit on the release, a ref’s whistle screeching and the horn sounding with no time left. So Fredette calmly stepped to the line, and hit one, two, all three freebies to clinch the title game and send his teammates into hysteria.

Fredette’s not the only recognizable Shark, with former UConn point guard and New Jersey native A.J. Price on his side.

Next up for Fredette, before the Chinese league begins, is a trip back to the States, and perhaps another audition for a league that he can intrigue, but can’t infiltrate. The Sharks are headed to Houston for an exhibition against the Rockets on Sunday.

Fredette has had stints with the Kings, Bulls, Pelicans and Knicks, but has mostly just solidified himself as a D-League superstar since being drafted 10th overall in 2011. The 27-year-old Glens Falls, NY native has been criticized for his foot speed and defense, leading him to take the long-traveled route back to the NBA, signing with the Sharks in August.
