Will Derek Fisher ever get into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame?
No, but he deserves to be honored at a high level somewhere.
Derek Fisher was the consummate role player, an outspoken leader and the perfect floor general, which made up for a lack of natural ability. No other guard could have complimented Kobe Bryant better, and he was not just along for the ride in those five championships for the Lakers; he helped design the car.
Fish could shoot, made few mistakes, and was underrated on defense. We are not saying he should have been a multi-time All-Star, but super high-IQ players like Fisher are rare.
