Jazz Beat Writter Shows No Class

Derek Fisher is one of the most admired players in the NBA. He has earned respected in every NBA city he has played in by every player and by every coach. In fact, he was elected one of the presidents for the Players Association. With that being said, this article makes no sense at all.

I am simply confounded after reading the article. Apparently, even being a church owned paper does not give you class. The assumption that Derek Fisher joined the Lakers to screw over the Jazz is as ridiculous as it gets (up there with Agent 0 going to the Lakers.) Apparently, he conveniently forgot that the Utah Jazz made it the Western Conference Finals and the Lakers went out in the First Round and were in turmoil with the whole Kobe situation. Frankly, basketball wise, leaving Utah made no sense for Derek Fisher. He is making less money in L.A., and the Lakers, at the time, did not even look like a contender. So leave to this guy to compare him to Carlos Boozer, who is said to be more honorable, after stabbing a benevolent blind man in the back. Just wow.
