Derek Fisher looks to rebound as new coach of Sparks

“That’s a good question,” he said with a smile. “I’m not going to tell everybody what we’ll be doing before we see us.”

“We probably will not in the truest, most authentic form of it in terms of the way Tex Winter innovated the offense and the way I played in it for Phil Jackson,” Fisher said.

At the Friday news conference introducing him as the new coach of the Sparks, Fisher was the same person who won the admiration of Los Angeles when he was a championship-winning point guard with the Lakers. Perhaps diminished in stature by his association with the New York Knicks, but still the same person.
