On the eve of the 2010 NBA Finals, relive one of the most memorable shots of Derek Fisher’s career.
Earlier during the current playoffs, Derek sat down for a series of exclusive interviews for his web site, DerekFisher2.com. In one of them — the one featured today — he recounts the game-winning shot he hit on May 13, 2004.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the play, or even if you are, this was the scene. It was Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals, and the Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs were tied at two games apiece. San Antonio, courtesy of Tim Duncan, had just gone ahead 73-72, leaving four-tenths of a second on the buzzer.
The rest is history at its most stunning and unbelievable.
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of No. 2’s account of .4 is how alive the moment feels to him as he recounts it, breaking down every moment in a way that no one has ever heard before until now.
I can definitely recall .4 shot just as if it was yesterday! Just remembering about it brings a big smile on my face =D I love Derek Fisher. Thanks to him, I got involved & understood the fundementals of Basketball which I know LOVE LOVE very much. Derek Fisher is the man & forever he will. He never lets me down, I never stop Believing in him. (:
