Well before he sparked scrutiny about his coaching and personal life, Derek Fisher cemented a strong reputation with the Lakers for making clutch shots and delivering key speeches.
So it only seems natural that Fisher will now give speeches as a Spectrum SportsNet studio analyst as he watches a young Lakers team try to perform under pressure. He plans to make 20 studio appearances for the 2016-17 season on Spectrum SportsNet’s #LakeShow and Access SportsNet’s pre-game and post-game shows. The stations’s news release also stated Fisher plans work as a an analyst for TNT’s NBA coverage.
The Knicks fired Fisher as head coach following a combined 40-96 record.
