quote:
I really hate Derek Fisher. I know I say this every game, but I can't stand that guy.
Couldn't agree more. And check out the opening of his bio on his official website.
IT IS RARE THAT AN ATHLETE'S HUMANITY is a credit to the game he plays, to his teammates and his adversaries, to his loved ones and his fans.
All too often, our role models in sports are a far cry from the players and people we want them to be.
But Derek Fisher embodies everything one desires in a role model. He is revered by his peers, so much so they voted him to the highest representative position a player can hold within their league. He is a leader, a floor general who can quietly bring even the most combustible personalities together in harmony, the glue that not only can help hold a championship caliber club together, but help it realize its potential.
