Derek Fisher: An Appreciation for Former Laker’s Career

In 13 seasons with the Lakers, Derek Fisher’s stats are as follows: 915 games, 592 starts, 7.9 points per game. He shot just over 40 percent from the field and 37.5 percent on three-pointers. He averaged 2.9 assists per game. He never went to an All-Star game, except for his appearance in the 1996 Rookie Challenge.

These are the only numbers that matter in those 13 seasons: Seven NBA Finals appearances. Five NBA titles. 0.4 seconds. The uncountable number of Lakers fans who’ll remember his character and leadership as much as his clutch moments.
