Jimmer Fedette's pre-NBA draft workouts, urban tightrope walking in Paris, and stinking out the subtitutes bench are featured among the world's most-watched sports videos for the week ending June 24.

NBA draft fever propelled college basketball sensation Jimmer Fedette's road tour diary to third on YouTube, behind a goalkeeper's 90-yard goal and Roberto Carlos's Russian encounter.

CSKA Moscow popped up on Japan's Nicovideo as well, as Keisuke Honda scored one in the 3-0 win.

The Skyliners tightrope team took on two towers with a view over Paris, reaching number 2 spot on the France-based Dailymotion, while the Mexican bench was extra-warm and found first on China's Tudou.
