Four NBA titles, with a chance at a fifth, and two more Western Conference championships that were followed by losses in the finals. Sounds like the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher have had a pretty productive relationship since coming into the NBA together in 1996, winning four championships with the Los Angeles Lakers and forging a friendship that belied the differences in their personalities and their skills. A rugged and emotional point guard with a history of clutch performances, Fisher made five baskets in the fourth quarter on Tuesday night to lead the Lakers to a 91-84 victory over Boston in Game 3 of the NBA finals. Bryant led all scorers with 29 points, but it was Fisher’s 11 fourth-quarter points that clinched the win and gave the Lakers a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven championship series. His signature play this time wasn’t a long-distance heave—like the one he sank against San Antonio with 0.4 seconds left in 2004—or a series of jumpers like those that turned things around in Game 4 of the finals against Orlando last year.
Instead, Fisher helped seal the victory over Boston when he followed through on a breakaway layup before being flattened by three Celtics—including 300-pound Glen “Big Baby” Davis and 6-foot-11 Kevin Garnett. Fisher, who’s 6-1 and 210 pounds, converted the three-point play to turn it into a seven-point game. Fisher also delivered a pep talk in the break before the start of the fourth quarter, imploring his teammates to take advantage of their six-point lead and not fret about Boston’s comeback from a 17-point deficit. Fisher won three titles in eight years during the Lakers’ Shaq-and-Kobe era before signing with Golden State as a free agent in 2004. It was only then that Bryant realized what kind of friend and teammate he had.
