Derek Fisher returned to Staples Center Thursday night for the first time as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Fish of course was a part of 5 Laker Championships, drafted to the team in 1996 along with Kobe. He was traded to the Rockets for Jordan Hill, waived and signed with the Thunder two weeks ago.
The Lakers put together a tribute video which was shown last night. Fish also received a standing ovation.
