Sure, the Lakers have Shaq and Kobe, and Malone, but for the past couple of years, I've been telling everybody who would listen that Derek Fisher, on any other team, would be THE star player. Fisher had a few things going against him, first he is a team-player. He passes, which isn't something you always see the guys in gold do. Second, he isn't huge, flashy, or thuggish, which doesn't help him escape the shadow of Shaq, Kobe, or Fox. But he can sink 'em downtown like nobodies business!

Maybe NOW people will listen to me. Maybe Fisher's at-the-buzzer shot, which Marv Albert called "one of the greatest shots in franchise history," will get him some very well deserved recognition.
