Derek Fisher on his well-known 0.4 shot vs. Spurs: ‘For a very long time it jogged my memory of a down 12 months, if that is smart as a result of we misplaced within the Finals to the Pistons, so I’m like ‘I don’t need to keep in mind 2004’, however you may’t escape the second. Yeah the play wasn’t design for me, and in the event you’re on a staff with Kobe and Shaq, the play shouldn’t be for you. I’m not mad about that in any respect both. So the play wasn’t designed for me, it was actually the gravitational pull that the 2 of these guys have by pulling gamers in the direction of them, like I simply sort of stood there and waited for the appropriate second to go to the open house and I at all times give Gary Payton a ton of credit score as a result of he was taking the ball out and most guys will drive it to the superstars in that state of affairs, as a result of they don’t need to be the one which have to clarify ‘why you tried to throw it to this dude versus attempt to throw it to Kobe or Shaq?!’ So I at all times give GP main love for making like what was the appropriate basketball determination, it ended up understanding however lots of dudes would have pressured that ball to to Kobe or Shaq.’
