    He's up there with Karla and Stockton as the players I most despise. Glad to hear him and Matt Barnes got into it. I hope Barnes punched him in the face a couple of times.

    Should have taken him to the ghetto, Chappelle style.

    Thanks for sharing the story.

    You should have told him I hope you don't mind but I have to pick up Matt Barnes on the way to our destination.

    Still a despicable human being. Should have asked about how he used his daughter's eye cancer as an excuse to help his career.

    I partially don't believe him. I believe the part where he thought we weren't going to win anything but that's it.

    Thanks for the story. Most NBA players are really nice guys. It's just that on the court, it's a competitive world where emotional highs get the best of them.

    Thanks...we aren't even supposed to ask for photos or autographs but I know this forum would want to see him as proof I was with him.

    always hated Fisher - I was glad he didn't play for us.

    Here is the Fisher-Scola incident for those who don't remember it - dude was a dirty punk

    Exactly.

    Fisher has always been skillful at PR and he apparently put OP in the spin machine.
    But empirical evidence has shown time and again that Derek Fisher was a dbag on the court and off. A hypocritical snake in the grass.

    Just think how contemptible a person has to be to get Rockets, Jazz, and Mavs fans to all agree in their disdain for you.
