A great story. This fella apparently knows what’s important.

Thank you for sharing.

And may God bless Mr. Fisher, his daughter and family.

Not your average NBA personality. He sounds to me like the kinda guy sports books and movies are made about.

My best to him and his family.

Wouldn’t 21 million dollars buy a remarkable breakthrough in treatment for the disease?

Fisher is not only the antidote to the Allen Iverson’s of the world through his concern for his daughter but also that he did not dress like a thug-punk prior to the NBA’s dress code policy. He also smiles in his photos rather than the mug/thug shot evidenced by any photo of Rasheed Wallace.

I don't follow the NBA much, but every time I saw Fisher on TV, he always came off as quiet classy guy. There is no question that he is.

He obviously has his priorities straight and, I would bet, that this decision will yield much greater dividends than any amount of $$$ he would have earned with the Jazz (the Jazz management should also be commended for releasing him from the contract, BTW). Everyone can learn a lesson from this example.
