Question Derek Fisher, HOF any chance?

The obvious answer is he won't. Have enjoyed his game over the years. But I think he will probably miss out.

Kobe Bryant called Fisher “The heart and soul of our team, I went through years where I didn’t have him, I had point guards who were nowhere near his caliber in leadership and shot-making ability and toughness.”

His career is winding down, do you think he has any shot to get in the HOF?

Great career and all around great guy, but he shouldn't even be on the ballot.

No way, no how. The Hall of Fame is for the ELITE and greatest players in the sport. As much as he is a nice guy & all that, he is not one of the greatest players to suit up.

yes easily , I garuantee it.

If we are going by what Fisher did on the court then we are talking about one of the most clutch shooters in the NBA going back atleast 25 years. No one I have ever seen has made more important shots in do or die situations. He is litterally responsible for the Lakers Championship over the Magic 2 seasons ago. There are so many clutch shots hes made its insane " .04" wins them the series vs. the Spurs wich is legendary.

Not to mention he is the President of the NBA Players Union. He is one of the most popular and respected players in the league. Bank it.

Robert Horry was not even a starter, he was a 6th man.

Steve Kerr came off the bench and played around 15-20 minutes a game in his prime.

Ron Harper played on a wooden leg the last 10 years of his carreer or else he may have been thought of with the all time greats.

Derek Fisher was the STARTING point guard on 5 championship teams. Most clutch ever.
