Derek Fisher has accepted the job to become the Knicks new coach, effectively ending his playing career (allegedly). Spurs fans remember him for the infamous .4 shot and being a general pain in the butt over the years. But when he looks back on his career, will he have such fond memories of his playing days against the Spurs?
Fisher's teams (Lakers, Jazz and Okc) faced the Spurs 8 times in the playoffs over his 18 year career and lost 4 of those match ups (including 2 sweeps). Although he will surely relish some of those memories, he will go in to retirement knowing he lost his final game to the Spurs and was stopped from reaching the finals at least twice because of them.
Derek Fisher vs Spurs playoffs:
Lakers (1996-2004)
Swept by Spurs – 1998/1999 (Spurs Championship) L
Defeated Spurs – 2000-2001 (WCF) W
Lost to Spurs – 2002-2003 (WCSF) L
Beat Spurs (.4) – 2003-2004 (WCSF) W
Utah Jazz:
Swept by Spurs 2007 (WCF) L
Lakers (2007-2012)
Beat Spurs – 2007/2008 W
OkC: (2012):
Beat Spurs – 2012 (WCF) W
Lost to Spurs: 2014 (WCF) L
In short, F*CK YOU Derek Fisher, you Ring chasing, team hopping, family issue (excuse using), little troll !!
