Geez . . . and where are all of those folks who, especially in the Oklahoma City series that started the playoffs, continually harped on Phil Jackson for playing Derek Fisher -- the guy that everyone (but Jackson and his teammates) apparently wanted to throw under the bus in order to give Shannon Brown and/or Jordan Farmar extended minutes in the backcourt?
He may not be the speediest guard in the NBA but he's a critical piece to the Lakers' hopes of winning another title.
And he's a viable reason why Kobe Bryant has a much, much stronger cast of players around him than does any other "superstar" in the NBA.
Could you ever imagine LeBron James going 10 of 29 from the field (as Bryant did Tuesday night) and Cleveland beating anyone in the playoffs, much less a team the caliber of Boston on the road?
That's why the Lakers are far and away the best "team" in the NBA.
Fish is also the #1 flopper/drawer of offensive fouls in the league.
