wait, there was an elimination game for usa today?
i need to stop missing these games. at least we won. 18 three-pointers and 30 assists on 41 FG’s. that’s pretty good. odom had 9 points and 8 rebounds. nice!
3 Heat can't stop the 3peat.
lol
Just because you throw someone a pass, and they score, it doesn't mean you made them a better player.

Paul Pierce vs. Pedro

Two role players on the Lakers who should have their jersey retired
B. Scott and Fisher. Dam! Fisher is just a beast during the last 5 mins of any Lakers game. Fans want to compare Horry to Fisher but Horry never took over a hudle and inspired his team the way that Fisher has.
"That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court. It also means no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. " Kobe on Shaq being a leader
the chances of fisher getting his number retired are close to zero
but, they will probably find some other way to honor him.
Adam Morrison has more rings than Lebron, Bosh, and Wade combined?
If they don't retire fisher's number
then that is basically taking a shit on these past two championships…
If, or should I say, when the Lakers win their first three-peat since 02, the organization should take a look at these championships and add them to Kobe AND Fisher’s legacy as leaders of the new Lake Show.
They brought back Los Angeles to the top of the NBA…
"Lebron joins teams with his friends; Kobe’s enemies join teams with him." -Gil Meriken
On other teams you may have a point
but on the Lakers it takes a truly legendary career to be put up there. Derek Fisher had a solid career and was a contributor to some great Laker teams, but is not a Hall of Fame player and more of a roll player. I think D-Fish will be remembered for his contributions, but Hall of Famers hang in the rafters of Staples Center.
Adam Morrison has more rings than Lebron, Bosh, and Wade combined?
Fisher will always be a HOF in Lakers' fans hearts.
its sad that it is a requirement but as far as him being deserving he definitely does.

" Kobe on Shaq being a leader
there are a ton of other deserving laker role players as well
who haven’t/won’t get their number retired.
3 Heat can't stop the 3peat.
you can say we wouldn't have won certain championships
had fish not been there, but we wouldn’t have gotten to the finals in 2002 without horry, and definitely wouldn’t have won 5 championships in the 1980’s without the help of cooper, scott, mcadoo, wilkes, etc.
3 Heat can't stop the 3peat.
i agree with you
those players you named should have their jerseys up in the rafters. just my opinion.

I agree but it is hard to define who does and doesn't deserve it.

how fast we change tunes
99% of us, myself included, were convinced that Fisher did nothing but hurt this team during. Then the playoffs arrive, then the championship. Now the conversations are about retiring his number.

She is way better looking. Maria does have a nice body though. You cant really see their faces when watching a tennis match. all you see is legs running around the court, lol.
