The player opposite Mike Bibby during those finals? One Derek Fisher. Starting from the final tally, Fisher guided the Laker to five NBA championships as a starting point guard, finished as the league’s all-time leader in playoff games played and holds the 18th greatest playoff moment in NBA history – as decided by the league itself – for hitting a buzzer beater with 0.4 second left in game 5 of the 2004 Western Conference Semifinals against the San Antonio Spurs.
