Derek FISHER BEST PG IN NBA

[newjerseydevils]

Like all Phil Jackson teams they have good players who know their part in helping the team win. Fisher fits in well and does a good job however he is no where close to the top PG.

Your joking right? The guy hasnt been able to hit a 3 pointer in 3 years.

The Machine..do you remember Once he started going with calling himself that it was all over for him. When he was at his best Kobe once said he had one of the best stokes around. Wonder what happened?

In the nba ohhh hell no..

He hasn't played much this season, so it's hard to say where he's at.

I'd rather have him shooting threes than Artest.

He isnt the same player anymore. He is just brought on to the court to give guys like artest a breather and irritate opponents by rubbing into there jerseys. Artest was doing pretty good from 3 point land in Utah. The whole twitter thing got him going and Phil pushed his buttons.

[yuperz]

fukcyou cant really call him BEST PG, more like very physical and good 3pt shooter!!!..IF kobe Bryant had Jason kidd, NAsh and deron will, KOBE would have had many spectacular ALley hoops and stuff....

The thing is fisher can pass...too but.....i havent seen many alley oops..but i know lakers is trianlge offence but alleyopps r doable...plus

remmeber Jkidd n carter CoMBo....flyin.....anyway, also, sometimez...when d-fisher drives in to lay in..it's so awcakrd...he doesnt have good touches,,so the ball always bounce off the rip or board so hard....altho he does get fouled cuz he's so slow to drive in..he dribles little high..too....overal...fisher is just a bettter than decent player but..he's not the BEST PG..man

[Laki]

Artest is much better defensive player than Fisher... and he's more athletic.

[ngates815]

fisher is the worst starting PG in the league, dont get all worked up about this obviously

Mike Bibby.

[mihaita666]

my vote goes to Steve Nash

[investor]

Born and raised in LA and can't root for any other team besides the lakers. Go lakers!! But even here in LA we all know that he is not the best pg in the league. Would way rather have Deron Williams or Chris Paul or i hate to say it, but even Rondo. Also, i'd love to see Westbrook come to LA. I think he'd be able to penetrate the ball perfectly for kobe.

And steve Nash doesn't have enough Defense to come play with the lakers. He's going to get exposed against em.

[yisman]

if we're talking best PG, gimme Chris Paul or Deron Williams.

Then would come Nash (but he's 36 and doesn't play good defense), Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo.

Tony Parker, Tyreke Evans, Russell Westbrook, Brandon Jennings...

For the Lakers or most teams, I wouldn't want Nash right now. I don't think he'd be an elite PG in most systems.

[ThisGuy]

Tyreke isn't really a pg, he played the same role Wade did as a rookie

[zigomanisinsider]

fisher show why he is the best pg in nba

[HoulihansTX]

He is clutch.

No argument there

[Robber]

[Goat Milk]

[dwaechte]

What a dumb thread.

[Goat Milk]

how that boston bet coming in game 3 goat milk

i called LA winning game 3 dumb fukk

[QuantumLeap]

He reminds me of Robert Horry. Plays diff in the playoffs. But i still hate Fisher! LOL

Can you believe some people have been talking about Robert Horry being in the Hall of Fame??? I'm thinking to myself "can you be serious??"

The Fresh Prince has the rings but it's been mostly as a supporting player who made a couple clutch shots. He really hasn't been stellar over the regular season.

Derek Fisher and the Dallas Mavericks are parting ways after just nine games.
The team announced Saturday they have waived the veteran point guard.
There's a catch, though: It was actually by Fisher's request that he was waived. According to an ESPN report, Fisher put the request in a few days ago, but agreed to play on until the team could find another point guard to replace him. But he strained his right patellar tendon against the 76ers Tuesday which has him out for at least a week.
Fisher released a statement Saturday explaining the decision:
"In Tuesday's game against Philadelphia, I suffered an injury to my patellar tendon. The recovery time will be approximately two weeks. With this news and the difficulty I have been having being away from my family, I have asked the organization to waive me so I can return home.
"Mark Cuban has been extremely supportive and has granted me this request. I cannot say enough good things about this organization. From Mark, to Coach Carlisle, to the players on the Mavericks' team, I sincerely thank them for the opportunity.
"I have made decisions in the past, leaving money and opportunity on the table, and I will need to do that again. My family is my priority and that is where I choose to be. I won't close the possibility that I will play again, however for now my family and being close to them remains the priority."
Fisher, 38, signed with the Mavs Nov. 29 and surprisingly became their starting point guard over Darren Collison and Rodrigue Beaubois. In nine games he averaged 8.6 points and 3.6 assists in 25 minutes per game.
According to ESPN.com, the Mavs are planning to call up Chris Douglas-Roberts to fill Fisher's vacated roster spot.
The Mavs are expected to be very active on the trade market to find a point guard, as they're obviously not pleased with Collison, Beaubois or Dominique Jones. The fact Fisher was immediately made a starter when he signed should really tell it all.
The question is why Fisher asked out. Is it because he gave it one more go and is ready to hang 'em up? Or was it because he was quickly realizing the Mavs weren't going to be in the title discussion -- or maybe even playoff discussion -- after slipping to 12-15?
By his statement, it almost seems retirement is on his mind. Fisher's future is certainly up in the air. Even if he wants another shot, question is, does anyone want him?
