You’ve got to love it when members of the media give Derek Fisher his due.
That was the case Tuesday when the Kamentzky Bros. of ESPNLosAngeles.com’s Land O’ Lakers blog posted the following video of No. 2 dunking on Allen Iverson.
As the K. Bros wrote:
Still, there were once days when Fish was something of a high (higher?) flier. Does he have any mementos? A photo in his wallet? "No," he said, "but I wish I did, becuase my step-son does not believe for one second that I used to regularly dunk on people, and I can’t find any footage, either."
Well, D-Fish, given how money you’ve been over the years for the Lakers, the city, and media types like myself, it only seems fair to help you out. Because not only is there footage, but ample footage. Start with this clip from the ’01 Finals. What’s The Answer? How ’bout Derek Fisher crushing A.I.?
Derek was talking about dunking in the context of teammate Shannon Brown, who will be participating in the dunk contest at the All-Star Game.
