It's interesting how Jazz fans were painted as over zealous dicks for questioning Derek the family man fisher... I guess infidelity/divorce/more lying and using family excuses to get out of places/dating ex teammates ex wives and possibly hitting on his own players girl friends (rumored on the inter webs) has finally revealed what those attractive front row girls always knew.
What's wrong with dating ex teammates ex wives, assuming (a) he's not married (b) said ex wife is not married to said ex teammate?
This experience does give us a bit of a peek under the rug, Fisher, who liked to portray himself as the dutiful family man, wasn't quite the family man he made himself out to be. Doesn't mean, though, that he's not a dutiful father.
I've long believed Fisher is a lying, opportunistic weasel. I'm surprised he didn't lie to get out of coaching the Knicks, playing the devoted family man card, to get to a job for a contending team that he wanted more. That was certainly his MO.
