Lakers jersey history No. 2 — Derek Fisher
Through the 2024-25 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have had a total of 506 players suit up for them, going back to their days in Minneapolis. Some were forgettable, some were serviceable, some were good and a select few were flat-out legendary. As the Lakers approach their 80th season of existence (they were founded back in 1946 as the Detroit Gems in the National Basketball League), LeBron Wire is taking a look at each player who has worn their jersey, whether it has been a purple and gold one or the ones they donned back in the Midwest during their early years. It is time to take a look back at one of the more popular Lakers players of all time — Derek Fisher. Fisher came to the Lakers as a late first-round draft pick in 1996 after a modest four-year stint at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He didn't play much as a rookie, but afterward, he started to develop a reputation as a trustworthy role-playing point guard. He lacked footspeed and stood just 6-foot-1, had trouble converting layups in traffic and wasn't an outstanding passer or defender. But he got the job done as a solid floor general who served as a glue guy and hit key shots, especially in big games. Throughout the 2000s, he was a fixture on the Lakers during the Kobe Bryant era under coach Phil Jackson. Fisher helped them win three straight NBA championships to start the decade, mostly as a bench player. During the 2001 Western Conference finals, he went crazy by going 15-of-20 from 3-point range to help the team achieve a four-game sweep en route to a then-record 15-1 postseason mark. Overall, he made 51.5% of his 3-point attempts during that magical run through the 2001 NBA Playoffs. In Game 5 of the second round of the 2004 playoffs, the guard hit a buzzer-beating game-winning shot against the San Antonio Spurs with four-tenths of a second remaining when he received the inbound pass on the play. Fisher left the Lakers in the summer of 2004, but after two seasons with the Golden State Warriors and one with the Utah Jazz, he returned in 2007. He regained his old role as L.A. went to the NBA Finals three straight times from 2008 to 2010 while capturing back-to-back world championships in 2009 and 2010. His clutch heroics allowed the Lakers to claim Game 4 of the 2009 finals, and he helped steady the ship as they overcame a 13-point second-half deficit in Game 7 of the 2010 championship series against the Boston Celtics. Fisher was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2011-12 season, and he retired as a player in 2014. He ended his playing career with averages of 8.3 points and 3.0 assists a game. He quickly reunited with Jackson on the New York Knicks. Jackson had just become the Knicks' president, and he hired Fisher to be their coach. Fisher was fired after one season and change, and during that time, he had a record of 40-96. He would go on to serve three and a half seasons as the coach of the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks before becoming the coach at Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, Calif.

Frankie Montas sinks Mets in brutal loss to Giants with latest clunker that could jeopardize rotation spot
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free The Mets opened Sunday in first place in the NL East. You'd never know it. Not from the way they got another subpar outing from a starting pitcher, a no-show from the lineup or the boobirds that were out in full force during a 12-4 loss to the Giants at Citi Field. The Mets weren't in first by the end of the day, falling a half-game behind the Phillies after their 2-0 win over Tigers on Sunday night. It's all part of what's been a wildly inconsistent past few weeks for the Mets, who dropped three straight games around the All-Star break, rebounded with seven consecutive wins, only to then lose four straight. And after a solid win on Saturday, they still lost a series to the Giants — who raised the white flag by selling at the trade deadline and entered the series losers of six in a row — with Sunday's lopsided defeat. Frankie Montas helped throw this one away in his second consecutive clunker — and fourth poor showing in his past six starts. The right-hander gave up a season-high seven runs — all earned. CHECK OUT THE AND A day after Kodai Senga lasted just four innings, Montas failed to record an out in the fifth, as the Mets continue failing to get length out of their rotation. He struggled with his location — especially on an 0-1 four-seamer to Rafael Devers with two on and one out in the third. Devers belted it into the seats for a three-run shot on the pitch Carlos Mendoza said was in 'the nitro zone.' The manager also didn't guarantee Montas would make his next start. 'We just got done with the game,' Mendoza said of Montas' spot in the rotation. 'He's got to be better. He knows that.' Asked before the game if prospects Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean could be options to help the rotation, Mendoza said, 'I like what we have here and I like having names like that at the Triple-A level. We believe in the guys we have here. We know they're capable. They've shown it before and they will.' So far, Montas hasn't. 'I missed a couple spots,' Montas said. '[Including] the one to Devers. He put a good swing on it.' Montas also failed to get swings-and-misses, especially after the second inning. The Giants had already tied the game when Montas walked Heliot Ramos before Devers took him deep to give the Giants a 4-1 lead. It got worse in the fourth, with Montas giving up back-to-back singles with one out to put runners on the corners and then Pete Alonso was indecisive on a grounder to first before being late with his throw home. Casey Schmitt scored on the play. With two out, Ramos beat out a grounder to deep short to drive in another run for a 6-1 lead. Devers piled on with an RBI single. The offense, which put up a dozen runs — and got 10 RBIs from the top four hitters in the lineup — on Saturday, produced just a pair of runs against lefty Carson Whisenhunt in his second major league start. Francisco Lindor homered with one out in the bottom of the first, but the Mets didn't get another hit until Jeff McNeil opened the bottom of the fifth with a single. Alonso whiffed with two on to end the eighth before Ryne Stanek imploded and allowed five runs in the ninth before catcher Luis Torrens had to get the final out. Perhaps the only positive that came out of the loss was that the Mets were able to preserve their new-look bullpen, thanks to Austin Warren — just recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday — throwing four shutout innings in relief of Montas. Mark Vientos put it succinctly: 'I think we'll put this series behind us.'

Knicks villain Tyrese Haliburton booed at MetLife Stadium for WWE SummerSlam
New York and New Jersey wrestling fans seemed ready to lay the smackdown on Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, and the Pacers star was more than happy to play the heel during SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Haliburton, a noted wrestling aficionado, was in the building for the second night of the WWE event taking place in the Meadowlands, even though he's recovering from surgery that repaired a torn Achilles tendon. He has become a villain in the eyes of many New York sports fans due to the rivalry between the Knicks and Indiana, and he was greeted with that energy when he was shown on the video board inside MetLife Stadium. Advertisement And he gleefully lapped it up. 3 Tyrese Haliburton eats up the jeers from the MetLife crowd at SummerSlam. X @NBA_NewYork Haliburton rubbed his hands together and flashed a wide grin before the boos started, which he encouraged. Advertisement He waved his arms in a motion to encourage louder boos and could he heard saying, 'I love you too' as WWE broadcaster Michael Cole was explaining Haliburton's appearance at SummerSlam. 'Yes, Yes!' he continued. It wasn't the only time he was booed on Sunday. Advertisement A separate video showed Haliburton prior to the start of the event walking on the stadium floor toward his seat in a walking boot. Boos could be heard during that moment as well. 3 Tyrese Haliburton at SummerSlam. Advertisement Haliburton even got involved in the action later on during SummerSlam when Cody Rhodes and John Cena were duking it out for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Cena did his 'you can't see me' gesture toward Haliburton, who was sitting front row, and then took one of his crutches to use to attack Rhodes. Haliburton was one of the top players in the NBA and had helped the Pacers topple the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals earlier this year. 3 Tyrese Haliburton #0 of the Indiana Pacers goes up for shot as Josh Hart #3 of the New York Knicks defends during the fourth quarter. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post He solidified his spot as one of the most hated sports figures among area fans after he hit a game-tying shot in Game 1 and proceeded to mimic Reggie Miller's infamous choking gesture. The celebration was a bit premature since he thought he had hit a game-winning 3-pointer, but instead the play was ruled a two-point basket at the buzzer. Giants quarterback Russell Wilson was also in attendance at SummerSlam and booed Sunday.
