Derek Fisher is My Hero

Derek Fisher arrived at the EnergySolutions Arena just in time for the Utah Jazz, playing stout defense and not missing a shot on his way to 5 points and 3 assists in nine minutes as the Jazz beat the Warriors in overtime, giving them a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Fisher's story is overwhelming to say the least, as his daughter has a rare form of eye cancer that required an emergency operation today (a cancerous tumor was found between the eye and brain of his infant daughter before Game 1 of this series). Re-read that sentence.

With his family, he flew from New York to Utah...just in time to enter the game with 3:18 remaining in the third quarter. He mentioned after the game that parents need to have their kids' eyes checked just after hitting the biggest shot of the game - a three pointer that put the Jazz up six points with 1:05 left in overtime.

HEART AND SOUL OF A CHAMPION.
