Derek Fisher is well-known for his incredible buzzer beater against the Spurs in the 2004 playoffs, but that wasn’t the only thing that defined his Lakers career.

Second only to Kobe Bryant, Fisher holds the second spot on the team’s list for most attempted three-pointers. Bryant tops the list with well over 5,000 shots, while Fisher got 2,255 off from beyond the arc.

Additionally, he’s also second to Bryant on successful three-point shots. Out of those 2,255 attempts, Fisher 846.

Now a television analyst, Fisher’s career after retiring as a player was interesting, to say the least.

A small stint in New York as the head coach of the Knicks turned sour, but it was a good way for him to find a better job fit.
