    5x NBA Champion Derek Fisher Set To Retire From The Association

    http://www.hoopsworld.com/derek-fish...ing-to-retire/

    Derek Fisher is considering retirement, according to sources close to the situation.

    Sources say that the 38-year-old Fisher has asked the Dallas Mavericks to release him from his contract, which he signed last month. An official announcement is expected soon.

    After spending several weeks with the Mavericks, Fisher realized that he no longer wanted to live the NBA lifestyle. He didn’t want to put further wear and tear on his body or spend more time away from his family. When he suffered an injury to his patellar tendon that would have sidelined him for several weeks, that was the final straw.

    The five-time champion is satisfied with everything he has accomplished over the course of his 17-year career, according to sources. Fisher tweeted that he hasn’t ruled out a return to the NBA, but sources say he is seriously contemplating retirement.


    You will be sorely missed D-Fish! :cry:


    This is for you baby!:

    Thanks for all of your contributions DFish

    Five rounds went by in the 2000 draft... After 198 other players had been chosen, the Patriots drafted him in the sixth round.
    Owner Robert Kraft recalls the night he was leaving the old Foxboro Stadium when he saw "this skinny beanpole" carrying a pizza. "He comes up and says, 'Mr. Kraft, I'm Tom Brady.' I said, 'I know who you are, you're our sixth-round draft choice from Michigan.' "And he looked me right in the eye and he said, 'and I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.' "

    Being a lakers fan, I never liked him much as a player(production wise) but as a team leader and class act you couldn't ask for a better guy then fish. Congrats on a successful career #2!

    Me neither. He seemed like a nice locker room guy but was nothing more than a glorified role player on the court.
