    Derek Fisher - What a Man!

    How many of the overpaid prima donas in the NBA would do something like this:

    I have admired Derek Fisher since he played at UALR, he was always a tough competitor and a class act. The NBA and professional sports in general need more like him.

    I would like an explanation for why he signed with the Lakers. If it's easier to care for his daughter from LA then great, but it makes me wonder when he asked to be released from his contract and then signs with the Yankees of the NBA.

    He only negotiated with teams in areas that had treatment centers that could help his daughter. Memphis was one.

    What really sucks is the fact that Paul is losing a great mentor. I work with Paul's aunt and she said that Derek was a great influence in how Paul carries himself. He will be missed.

    I thought that might be the case, but I'd never heard it.

    He played for the Lakers before, too. Not to mention, the Lakers blow now. Without Kobe, they would be terrible. With him, they are mediocre.

    I tell you what, I would get on myspace a lot more, if my new computer with Vista wouldnt shut the computer down every time i get on it. I have lowered the security level, so it isnt as bad as it used to be, but the computer will just shut down if you get on web sites like that.
