THE NBA Finals Thread - Lakers vs. Celtics
#162
I hate Boston fans more than anyone - but C Money, get a hold of yourself. You're delusional man.
Fisher is a key component to Kobe - because lets face it, he hasn't had a SOLID/consistent passer/shooter other than him.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that Fisher is one of the most clutch players in NBA history... There are a handful of guys, recently in the past decade, that would come to my mind before Fisher...
Horry - Billups - Hamilton - REGGIE (faggot) - Nash - Ginobili... I personally always thought that 'sheed was one of the most underrated/clutch players (though he's a bit older now... I'm talking in his prime years) - Mike Bibby was a great clutch player for a while as well.....
Fisher is a great player, but there are a LOT of players who could do the same or better job if they were playing along Kobe...

Are you serious Liquid? Fischer is known for his clutch shooting and how he steps his game up on the road... The fact that u added Billups,Hamilton and even stated the word BIBBY pretty much ends your entire argument.. Clutch isn't just scoring 30, clutch is draining game winning shots...
a couple quotes for you
“A lot of times we were the only two there, so we ended up playing full court 1-on-1 basketball and we were almost fighting, literally, just because we were both competitive,” Bryant said. “From that point forward I just gained so much respect for him because of his competitiveness and his ability to hit big shots.”
"He missed eight of nine attempts in a Game 2 loss to Denver in the conference finals, and yet when the Lakers needed a tying 3-pointer in the closing seconds of that game, Phil Jackson called the play for Fisher".
“He’s done this since I’ve been here — hit big shots — and he doesn’t listen to any of that stuff. We don’t listen to that stuff. He just hits big shots all the time.”

Do youtube search for "clutch fisher shots." The list is long and impressive. Aside from Kobe, there are no too many players in the league that have as many clutch shots in playoff games. Just sayin'

Now, Fisher wasn't playing incredibly well during the regular season... but during the playoffs is when having a veteran who knows the triangle and has Kobe's utmost respect pays off a million times over. He and Kobe basically grew up on the Lakers together, they are like brothers, and Kobe wouldn't have it any other way.
C, don't worry about the rep comment. I'm guessing the person who rep'd liquid was a grimy leprechaun fan trying to start sh*t within the Lakers brotherhood.
GO LAKERS!!!
