I remember the 1996 NBA Draft vividly and the two things I remember most how loaded the '96 NBA Draft was, the Lakers and then Charlotte Hornets Draft day Trade involving Valde Divac for one Kobe Bryant now dba "Vino" aka the Black Mamba. Also the Lakers picking at #24 in the 1st round an unknown Point Guard out of University of Arkansas Little-Rock to many but not to then Lakers GM Jerry West dba Logo.

Derek Fishers from The 6-2 and 200 el bees worth of PG was a lock down defender from day one and had a high Basketball IQ. He fit right into system of playing with players like Shaq, Rick Fox, Robert Horry, and Brain Shaw, Kobe, and not to mention the Zen Master's Triangle Offense later one. To this day he and Kobe are the best of friends as they were draft mates as well as all five Chips the Lakers have received only Kobe and D-Fish along with Phil Jackson were there for all of them.

Now the Knicks make a splash hiring the former OKC Thunder PG right out of Uniform and for a whopping 5-years $25 million. J-Kidd did it for the Brooklyn Nets and now D-Fish will have at it in the pressure-cooking job of leading the Knicks. What would be the first order of Business for D-Fish is that Knicks current Roster as he and the Zen Master will decipher through what needs to stay and go and 'Melo Anthony Business. The Hiring of D-Fish all but sure locks down the Bully to remain playing Home Game sat World's Most Famous.

The first year of D-Fish leading the Knicks under the "Triangle Offense" shouldn't be a difficult one as the Knicks Players I think will love playing for a Coach they just played against in the 2013-14 season and has Five Chips.

Shots Fired at potential suitors for the "Bully of Jordan Brand" going nowhere but D-Fish's Main Man!
