Everyone knows the Lakers first round selection from the 1996 NBA Draft, rather the player who's rights they acquired from Charlotte via a draft night trade. That individual would be one Kobe Bean Bryant. Yet many people don't remember the Lakers 2ND, 1st round selection that night. Derek Fisher out of Arkansas Little Rock University. Bryant and Fisher would go on to win 5 NBA titles together. Fisher would make and take big shots during his 1st and 2nd stints with the Lakers. Fisher would play tough, while also being a leader and solid defender. Fisher and Bryant are like brothers. Now Fisher will be leaving Los Angeles as he once did when playing for Golden State and Utah. Thursday prior to the NBA trading deadline, the Lakers dealt the aging guard to Houston for young foward Jordan Hill. His leadership and resume in the Lakers uniform will not be forgotten. However with the addition of Ramon Sessions from Cleveland, Los Angelese clearly are moving in a different direction.
