One more girl on the top of the Billboard
One more girl jumping in with the big boys
One more year and I'm still a no one
Waiting for my day in the sun
Chorus:
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?
You filled me with Great Expectations
just to hide me in your basement
Did you get from me what you wanted...huh?
Did you lose my telephone number?
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?
Just ask yourself, ";Am I neglecting someone?";
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
oh well...
Hello, it's me - the girl you had to have
Number twelve - remember me?

Can you tell me
Why have I come?
Why am I in Chicago?
I just wanted to kiss the bride,
I didn't think I would be seeing you
Chorus:
And I had to laugh
You were shaking my hand
as if we'd never met and I
had to cry
'Cause the tears were too wet
and my eyes were too full
knowing I was forgettable
Did it ever hit you to call - no
phones in your Chicago?
There's nothing that I need to convey, just
maybe a small ";hello"; from LA
And I had to laugh
You were searching your head
for the right thing to say and I
had to cry
'Cause the tears were too wet
and my eyes were too full
knowing I was forgettable
I can recall every face that I have ever kissed
How did I fall on your ";Miss Miscellaneous"; list?
And I had to cry
There was no other way to express all my joy,
and I
had to laugh
When I thought of my fate
it was all I could do
Knowing I had escaped
from you
From the album: True North, Released 11.14.2000

Welcome to Simi Cal-i-for-ni-a
Welcome to the home of the biggest fake
I didn't tell him what I meant to say
There will be time for the
truth another day
Chorus:
In Simi California
a liar sleeps tonight
In Simi I can't see how I can sleep
inside a creep like me
Honesty somehow was replaced with fear
Easier just to tell him
what he wants to hear
In Simi California
A liar sleeps tonight
In Simi I can't see how I can sleep
Inside a creep like me
If he could read my mind my love
is gone
In Simi California
a liar sleeps tonight
In Simi I can't see how I can sleep inside
California
a liar sleeps tonight
In Simi I can't see how I can sleep
inside a creep like me

I learned to fly
So you
You ran to find the gun
To shoot me down
Before
I got too high
'Cause you could not stand
To stand alone in the long line
For your wild ride - it requires
Two lost souls per seat
At least five foot five
Chorus:
--And I don't wanna' go
for a ride
Down to Miseryland
Trapped with you
By my side
Down in Miseryland
Up in the air you wave
Two tickets for my
utter amusement
You possess
an express pass to unhappiness
that makes you feel alive?
And I don't have a place any more
Down in Miseryland
Trapped with you forever more
Is not what I have planned
So take a seat
By yourself
And wait to fall a hundred stories
Better hold on tight
Hands in--side the ride
And don't for get to breathe
-And I don't wanna' go
for a ride
Down to Miseryland
Trapped with you
By my side
Down in misery
have a place any more
Down in misery
Down in Miseryland
I learned to fly
But you are still shooting the sky
Still shooting
From the album: True North, Released 11.14.2000

You came up, once again
Seems you're the topic of
every single conversation
I was the one, once again
making apologies, all in your defence
Just give her time.
Chorus:
It's all right if you fall
You are human after all
But it hurts when you land
On my life I'm not your
Jesus Christ
You show up when you need
Make no apologies
lay your world upon my shoulders
Hey, what a friend you have in me
You give me all your sin
take my soul and go
time after time
It's all right if you fall
You are human after all
But it hurts when you land
On my life I'm not your
Jesus Christ
Save yourself
Save yourself
Forsake me
It's all right if you fall
You are human after all
But it hurts when you land
On my life I'm not your
Jesus Christ
From the album: One, Released 4.99
You know, I only shake when
- ever you stand right
over me like a
hungry buzzard above my head
Are you hoping I'm really dead, well...
Better shut your mouth
Hold you belly tight
I'm not serving you
anymore
Chorus:
Every time you come to me
you always have your hand out
And every time you give to me
it's never something I, I, oh I ever need
You say - I never show you my gratitude - well
Thank you so much for
nothing I ever wanted
How did you know?
You must never listen
My what a lovely rope
looks the perfect size
But don't ya' think that it makes me look
too young to die?
Every time you come to me
there's always one condition
And every time you come to me
you always want me to, to bleed, bleed, bleed
Your generosity kills me
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
And every time you give to me
it's never one single thing I
could ever want or need
I don't need - I don't need
I don't want
What you say you're just giving away
'cause I know nothing's ever
free
From the album: True North, Released 11.14.2000

Do you always have to tell him everything
On your mind?
You know that too much honesty can be
So unkind
Chorus:
And every time you throw him to the floor
Why are you surprised to see he's breakable?
You always try to find what's holding him
Away from you
But do you ever see your anger standing there
Right between you?
And every time you throw him to the wall
Why are you surprised to see he's breakable?
Tell the world that he's breaking your heart
Go tell the world nothing's ever your fault
Go tell them all
And every time you throw him to the floor
Why are you surprised to see he's breakable?
And every time you push him to the wall
Why are you surprised to see he's breakable?
From the album: True North, Released 11.14.2000
Interscope Records/Farmclub.com
If this ever gets to you
will you know it's from me?
Or would you think it was a joke
throw it back to the sea
Chorus:
Or do you, do you know
everything I'm feeling
Do you know
No one could love you more
My true north
If this ever gets to you
Will you please forgive me
I was the one who let you down
It's too late for ";sorry";
Or do you, do you know
everything I'm feeling
Do you know
No one could love you more
My true north
If I told you then
- I'd made it clear
would you still be here?
Or do you, do you know
everything I'm feeling
Do you know
No one could love you more
My true north
From the album: True North, Released 11.14.2000
Interscope Records/Farmclub.com
I listened to you from your pedestal
- telling us all how your world was full of shit
Why couldn't you bow and say ";Thank you all";
to everyone who made you what you are
It sent my heart, hurt, crashing down
'Cause these are my dreams you're bashing
Chorus:
You're living the life
Can't you see you are living the life?
You're living the life that I only dream
The kingdom you own - does it drag you down?
I'll gladly relieve you of your big shiny crown
You say it's so frustrating now
I can't believe you're faking
Living the life
Seems to me you are living the life
You're living a wonderful, wonderful life...
Tell me would you really rather be a
nobody nobody knows?
Oh no?
Living the life
Seems to me you are living the life
You're living a wonderful, wonderful life...
'Cause this is the way that I fill my heart
From the album: True North, Released 11.14.2000
Interscope Records/Farmclub.com
Sell my soul - I'll sell my soul I've
nothing left to lose
Hurt myself - I'll hurt myself cover
my face with tattoos all of
painted tears - one for each year that
only could have been
Anything I can do to keep you
underneath my skin
Chorus:
Over and over I tell myself
If there's no you there's nobody else and I'd
rather be lonely - I'd rather die
six hundred sixty-six times
By myself - I'm not myself I can't
be without you
An empty shell - my former self is out
looking to find you
Over and over I tell myself
If there's no you there's nobody else and I'd
rather be lonely - I'd rather die
six hundred sixty-six times
From the album: True North, Released 11.14.2000

";Don't fly into the sun
- your wings will melt and you'll come down";
I say you never know until you try
away I go to the sun
I'm waving to the ground
I'll see you later
Chorus:
I will go - I will try
anything one time and I
never say never - why should I?
I will try - and I will go
anywhere - never say
Never say never ask why
Who knows tomorrow may never come
I can't conceive the day
I fear the unknown - not me
I dream
of open windows
And if you never fly your wings are useless
Chorus:
I will go - I will try
anything one time and I
never say never - why should I?
I will try - and I will go
anywhere - never say
Never say never ask why
From the album: True North, Released 11.14.2000

'Til my body is dust
'til my soul is no more
I will love you, love you
'Til the sun starts to cry
and the moon turns to rust
I will love you, love you
Chorus:
But I need to know - will you stay for all
time...forever and a day
Then I'll give my heart 'til the end of all
time...forever and a day
Chorus
'Til the storms fill my eyes
and we touch the last time
I will love you, love you...
From the album: True North, Released 11.14.2000
Interscope Records/Farmclub.com
You can take me away from my sorrow
but you can't take away my scars
I stand in the middle of the highway
playing chicken with the cars
It's not that I'm destructive I
just want to feel your pain
Chorus:
If there was any way I could have known
I would trip and fall away from you
If there was anything I could have done
to stay in love with you - with you
I wish I could say to you what you are to me
but I know it would make you sad
You are too good to be my lover
but you've been the greatest dad
I ever had
You made my life so lovely I
just had to mess it up
If there was any way I could have known
I would always need to be alone
If there was anything I could have done
to stay in love with you
with you
If I knew I'd do it twice just to make sure that
I did it right
If there was any way I could have known
I would always need to be alone
If there was anything I could have done
to stay in love with you
with you
From the mp3 DAM cd: Minus One, Released 12.99
Sittin' on the front porch
Wasting our abundant time
Hoping for a friendly face
To pass and smile
We would even wave
To folks we didn't recognize
Nothin' wrong with being friendly
Things have changed
Chorus:
'Cause I'm remembering a time
When it was alright to smile
When our hearts were never told
To live in constant fear
The days of innocence have gone
Did they tip-toe out the door?
Only thing I know is
I don't talk to strangers anymore
Staring at my feet I
Can't afford to catch your eye
Giving you the wrong impression
'Cause I know danger hides
deep behind the kindest smile
always question its intention
When did I change?
'Cause I'm remembering a time
When it was alright to smile
When our hearts were never told
To live in constant fear
The days of innocence have gone
Did they tip-toe out the door?
Only thing I know is
I don't talk to strangers anymore
From the mp3 DAM cd: Minus One, Released 12.99
He wants to
I want too much
He says he's taking his time
When I hold him
And he holds back
It hurts me that I don't mind
Chorus:
He has only so much
He can give up for me
And I have only so much
And that's not enough but
Everything is good
Everything is fine for now
La da da la da la da da
She don't cry
I don't cry
The past won't let us let go
When she holds me
And I hold back
If she minds I'll never know
I have only so much
I can give up for her
And she gives only so much
And that's not enough but
Everything's good
Everything's fine
For now
For now
We have only so much
We can give up for love
And we give only so much
And that's not enough but
Everything is good
Everything is fine
For now
From the mp3 DAM cd: Minus One, Released 12.99
Danny says he sees the sky right through the ceiling
When we're lying close together on the floor
Says it comes right down and leaves him with this feeling
Always begging him to ask for something
More from life ~ more from love
More
Chorus:
He's got a dream of Paradise
The perfect scheme for Paradise
And I won't give up on him now
Ahhhh Ahh
Danny says he always knows what I am thinking
All he has to do is listen to my mind
Says it cries all night whenever I am sleeping
Always begging me to ask for something
More from life ~ more from love
More
He's got a dream of Paradise
The perfect scheme for Paradise
And I won't give up on him now
Ahhhh Ahh
From the mp3 DAM cd: Minus One, Released 12.99
Never knew why he would fall victim to five-dollar highs
Bending his stories, inventing new lies - telling of cancers
One way to avoid questions and answers
Chorus
And Karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
The most likely one to achieve
Such a high
And Karl is missing tonight
What can I say to his poor father
He calls every day - looking for clues
There's no ";Gingerbread Man"; for him to follow
The candy man's come and taken his son
And Karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
His face in the dirt
And his friends by his side
And Karl is missing tonight
Maybe I'm the one that's wrong - I misunderstood
You just wanna die young to come back And feel good
But is it worth the exchange? Does it keep you from harm?
The last time I saw you ~ you clutched my arm and you wept
Like a child
And Karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
He's learned how to leave without saying goodbye
And Karl is missing tonight
And Karl is out of my life. Out of my life.
From the mp3 DAM cd: Minus One, Released 12.99
Praying for silence inside your head
Now it's too quiet for thinking
Turning the lights on to fill every room
You wanted them empty
For dancing, dreaming
Did you find what you wanted
Is it all like you dreamed
Are you happier now, Miss Kathleen?
From the album: True North, Released 11.14.2000
Interscope Records/Farmclub.com
I woke up and Mary was still gone
Thought if I stopped hurting she would come back
To me
Walk right through the door and say, ";Ahhh huhhhh!
I was only joking - didn't you look silly crying!";
But I wake up and Mary is still gone
I looked at the clock and it was
Still
Lying on the floor exactly where I threw it
Both hands smashed against its silver face
My feeble attempt to stop
Time but time goes on
And I wake up and Mary is still gone
Chorus:
Mary was it necessary
To leave before the party
I know it's selfish to say
You always brought the cake now
What will I eat with all these tears?
I looked at the list and saw her name
Kick myself, she never got an invitation
Kid myself, I'm sure somehow she knew
My stupid attempt to find
Some way to move on
But I wake up and Mary is still gone
Mary is still gone
From the mp3 DAM cd: Minus One, Released 12.99
Are you a messenger asleep in my mind?
Are you a voice that I've left silent inside
Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?
I used to talk to you, I'd look to the sky
Search the moon, I'd ask the stars for a sign
Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?
Do you know this woman who shares your name?
Time has changed her face.
Can you see me now?
'cause I still need to believe
You're watching over me now - over me
Have you travelled to places unknown?
Is there a road that you can tell me to follow?
Tell me how I can see you once again
Do you know this woman who carries your name in her heart?
Time has changed her face..
Can you see me now?
'cause I still need to believe
You're watching over me now - over me
I could never find the words to tell you
My heart's always found it hard to say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Tell me
oh tell me
Are you watching me?
I need you now
Can you see me here can you tell me, can you?
You're watching over me
Over me now
From the mp3 DAM cd: Minus One, Released 12.99
At the edge of the world is a big tin wall
Put it there when I was a child
Trying to define - explain - infinity
Chorus
At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world love is dangerous
Nowhere to turn - front, side, back, around
Nowhere to fall but into the arms of infinity
At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world
Understand what you can not see
Won't you please take a picture for me?
Alone on the edge I am wandering
Trying to see over the side
Tell me, will I see you there
Dangling and reaching your hand to me?
At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world
At the edge of the world

Derek Lamar Fisher (born August 9, 1974) is an American professional basketball point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the National Basketball Association (NBA). His NBA career has spanned more than 15 years, during which he won five NBA Championships with the Los Angeles Lakers. He currently serves as the president of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA).[1]
Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Fisher started out his basketball career at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Selected with the twenty-fourth pick by the Lakers in the 1996 NBA Draft, Fisher spent his first eight seasons with the franchise. During that time, he played a role in the Lakers' "three-peat", and was the third-leading scorer on the team behind Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. After his success with Los Angeles, Fisher signed with the Golden State Warriors, but was later traded to the Utah Jazz, where he helped lead the team to the Western Conference Finals. Due to his daughter's health, he asked to be released from his contract and rejoined the Lakers in 2007.[2] In 2010, he won his fifth NBA Championship with the Lakers. Only he and Kobe Bryant have played in all five of the Lakers' most recent championships. The Lakers, in 2012, traded Fisher to the Houston Rockets, who bought out his contract and waived him. He was subsequently claimed by the Thunder.
As of 2011, Fisher had played in 209 career playoff games, the fourth highest total in NBA history.[3] He ranks second all time in NBA Finals three-pointers made (43), behind former teammate Robert Horry. He has the highest three-point field goal percentage in NBA Finals history (42.6%). The NBA listed his "0.4 Shot" as the 18th-greatest playoff moment of all time.[4]

Early life[link]
Fisher attended the Parkview Arts and Science Magnet High School in Little Rock, where he was a letterman in basketball.
He went on to attend the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) for four years, with a major in communications. Fisher concluded his collegiate career at Arkansas-Little Rock second on the school’s all-time lists in points (1,393), assists (472) and steals (189). He averaged 12.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists over 112 games and led the team in assists and steals every year. Fisher also set a school record for free throws made in a career (399) and ranked third among all-time UALR leaders in three-point field goals made (125). As a senior, he earned Sunbelt Conference Player of the Year honors after averaging 14.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game.[5][6]
In 2005, Fisher pledged $700,000 to UALR towards the construction of its Jack Stephens Center auxiliary gym, since named in his honor, and the establishment of the Fisher Fellows Life Skills program, a mentoring series for UALR student-athletes.[7]
NBA career[link]
Los Angeles Lakers (1996–2004)[link]
Fisher was selected 24th overall in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers, and spent his first eight seasons with them.[5]
He made his NBA debut in an early season game against the Phoenix Suns, tallying 12 points and five assists. Over the course of his rookie season, Fisher appeared in 80 games, averaging 3.9 points, 1.5 assists and 1.2 rebounds. He was selected to the Schick Rookie Game during the All-Star Weekend in Cleveland and had 16 points and six assists.
Due to a stress fracture in his right foot, Fisher missed 62 games out of the 2000–01 season. By 2002–03, Fisher had firmly established himself as the Lakers' primary point guard, starting in all 82 games. But after the team was eliminated in the Western Conference Semifinals by the eventual champion Spurs that spring, followed by the signing of veteran point guard Gary Payton in the summer, Fisher was demoted back to the bench for the 2003–04 season.
The 0.4 shot[link]
One of Fisher's finest playoff moments came in Game 5 (May 13, 2004) of the 2004 Western Conference Semifinals between the Lakers and the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. The series was tied at 2, and Game 5 was a closely contested affair. With 11 seconds remaining, Kobe Bryant hit a jump shot to put the Lakers up 72–71. Tim Duncan then made a fadeaway 18-footer over Shaquille O'Neal to give the Spurs a 73–72 lead with 0.4 seconds on the clock.
To devise strategies, three consecutive time-outs were called: the first by the Lakers, the second by San Antonio to set up the defense, and the last by the Lakers to re-set up the offense. When the game resumed, Gary Payton inbounded the ball to Fisher, who managed to catch, turn, and shoot the game-winning basket all in 0.4 seconds. Fisher sprinted off the court, as he later admitted he was uncertain he beat the buzzer and wanted to exit before the play could be reviewed. The Spurs immediately filed a dispute regarding the shot and after reviewing video footage of the play, the referees concluded that the ball indeed left Fisher's hands before the clock expired. The "0.4" shot counted and the Lakers won the game 74–73.[8]
The Lakers closed out the Spurs in Game 6. They proceeded to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves to clinch the Western Conference championship, but were upset in the NBA Finals by the Detroit Pistons 4 games to 1.
Golden State Warriors (2004–2006)[link]
On July 16, 2004, Fisher signed with the Golden State Warriors as a free agent. Fisher's two-season term with Golden State proved to be somewhat of a disappointment. While he was a reliable spot-up shooter, Fisher saw limited openings without a star player such as Bryant or O'Neal to command a double-team. The team as a whole continued to struggle mightily and languished near the bottom of the Western Conference standings.
Speedy Claxton started more games than Fisher in 2004–05 season, and then newly-acquired point guard Baron Davis was a starter the following season. In the 2005–06 season, Fisher averaged 13.3 points a game, the highest season scoring average of his career.
Utah Jazz (2006–2007)[link]
Fisher was acquired by the Utah Jazz on July 12, 2006 in a trade that sent Keith McLeod, Andre Owens, and Devin Brown to the Golden State Warriors. He appeared in all 82 games of the 2006–07 season, averaging 10.1 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.01 steals while scoring in double figures 40 times.
In November 2006, Fisher was voted President of the National Basketball Players Association, succeeding Antonio Davis. Fisher had previously served as vice president.[9] He has also been the color commentator for the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA since July 1, 2008.
2007 Playoffs[link]
Several days before the Western Conference Semifinals between the Jazz and the Golden State Warriors began, Fisher stated that one of his four children was ill, avoiding going into further detail other than to say he needed to be with his family and his playing status was uncertain.
Fisher had asked head coach Jerry Sloan to leave him on the active list for Game 2, but could not guarantee he would make it in time to play. But with permission from their doctors, he and his family flew from New York after his daughter's surgery and landed in Salt Lake City with the game in progress. When they landed, Fisher found out starting point guard Deron Williams was in foul trouble and his backup Dee Brown had been injured. The Jazz had been using Andrei Kirilenko as a point guard and desperately needed Fisher. Given a police escort, Fisher arrived at the arena, suited up, and was given a standing ovation as he walked onto the floor. Not even given a chance to sit down, Fisher was put in the game in the middle of the third quarter. Late in the fourth, Fisher made a key defensive stop on Baron Davis that helped send the game into overtime. In the closing minutes, the Jazz held a three-point lead when Deron Williams found an open Fisher for a three-pointer that sealed the victory.[10] After the game, a tearful Fisher was interviewed, where he revealed the situation involving his then-11-month-old daughter, Tatum. She had been diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a degenerative and rare form of eye cancer, which required an emergency three-hour surgery and chemotherapy at a New York hospital.[11]
The Jazz eventually defeated the Warriors 4 games to 1, but fell to the eventual champion San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals in five games. Fisher's dramatic Game 2 entrance and performance against the Warriors was nominated for Best Moment in the 2007 ESPY Awards.
On July 2, 2007, Fisher asked the Jazz to release him from his contract so he could relocate to a team and city that would have the "right combination" of specialists that could help fight his daughter's retinoblastoma.[12][13] The Jazz honored his request.[13][14]
Second run with Lakers (2007–2012)[link]
After much speculation, on July 19, 2007, Fisher officially rejoined the Los Angeles Lakers by signing a three-year contract worth roughly $14 million.[13][14] He had given up roughly $8 million over three years, as he was due about $22 million over the next three years in his prior contract with the Jazz. Jazz owner Larry Miller noted that "[i]t did look funny" that Fisher signed with the Lakers, but he did not believe Fisher or Lakers owner Jerry Buss would do anything underhanded.[15] Jazz fans have taunted him, suspecting that he simply wanted to return to the Lakers.[16]
When the 2007–08 season began, Fisher resumed his role as the Lakers' starting point guard. He contributed a solid season, shooting 40% from the three point range and 88% from the free throw line, the highest percentage of his career. He made a controversial defensive play in Game 4 of the Lakers-Spurs Western Conference Finals, when late in the game Fisher jumped into Brent Barry's path without a foul called, causing Barry to miss a potential game winning shot. The Lakers eventually ousted the Spurs 4–1, but lost the NBA Finals to Boston.
Throughout the 2009 NBA Playoffs, Fisher faced criticism about his age and lackluster defensive performances against younger, quicker opposing point guards. However, Fisher helped the Lakers win Game 4 over the Orlando Magic in the 2009 NBA Finals, hitting a three pointer over Jameer Nelson with 4.6 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime, and a tie-breaking three pointer with 31.3 seconds remaining in overtime to help send the Lakers to a 3–1 series lead and soon after, the franchise's 15th NBA title. Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times described these shots by stating, "After his two jaw-flooring three-pointers led the Lakers to a 99–91 overtime victory against the Orlando Magic in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, you'll now officially be seeing him forever."[17] Fisher's 11.0 points per game, 50% shooting average, and 44% three-point percentage over the course of the Finals were an improvement over his regular season numbers and a departure from his post-season struggles to that point. He had shot 23.5% from behind the three point line and 35.6% from the field in the three prior playoff series. This was Fisher's fourth NBA championship.
On September 8, 2009, Fisher released a book, Character Driven: Life, Lessons, and Basketball.[18] He is credited as the author of the book with Gary Brozek contributing. On February 3, 2010, Fisher made the 1,000th 3-pointer of his career against the Charlotte Bobcats.[19] On February 10, 2010, Fisher played his 1,000th career game against his former team, the Utah Jazz, beating Kobe Bryant to the milestone by one game.[20] On February 23, 2010, Fisher made the 9,000th point of his NBA career against the Memphis Grizzlies.
On June 8, 2010, in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, Fisher played a pivotal role down the stretch to help the Lakers take a 2–1 series lead. In the 4th quarter, he scored 11 of his 16 points, including a 3-point-play lay-up that helped the Lakers wrap up a 91–84 road victory.[21] In Game 7, the Lakers came all the way back from a 13-point 3rd-quarter deficit when Fisher hit a critical 3-pointer to tie the game with 6:11 remaining. The Lakers ultimately defeated the Celtics 83–79, and Fisher went on to win his fifth NBA championship.
After his fifth Championship win, Fisher became a free agent, fielding offers from several teams, including the Miami Heat. However, on July 12, 2010, he agreed to a three-year, $10.5 million deal with a player option in the third year to continue with the Lakers. Though their contract offer was not the most lucrative, Fisher considered it "the most valuable" option.[22][23]
On March 15, 2012, Fisher and a 2012 first round draft pick were traded to the Houston Rockets for Jordan Hill.[24] Three days later, media sources began reporting that Fisher's contract would most likely be bought out by the Rockets, making him eligible to sign with any team other than the Lakers.[25] On March 19, 2012, Fisher was officially waived by the Rockets, without appearing in a game.[26]
Oklahoma City Thunder (2012–present)[link]
On March 21, 2012, after clearing the waivers at 6 pm Eastern time, Fisher signed a contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the remainder of the 2011-2012 season.[27] The Thunder organization called a pre-game press conference prior to its 7pm game to formally announce the signing of Fisher.[28] He chose jersey number 37, his age at the time because all his old numbers were taken. Fisher made his Thunder debut on the very same night against the Los Angeles Clippers, scoring 5 points.

Phil Jackson said that Fisher was "definitely the spokesman for [the Lakers] as far as leadership goes."[29]
In a 2011 poll of NBA players by Sports Illustrated, Fisher received the fourth most votes, six percent, for being the best flopper in the game. "Fish takes the contact. He does draw and sell offensive fouls," Jackson said. "We're happy he does what he does."[30]

Players union[link]
Fisher was a player representative for the NBPA before becoming a member of the union's executive committee. He was elected the union's president in 2006. He supported the NBA's referees during their lockout in 2009. During the 2011 NBA lockout, Fisher took a more active role than his predecessors, and he shared the lead with Billy Hunter, the union's full-time executive director.[31] Jason Whitlock of Foxsports.com wrote that Fisher was privately working with Stern on a deal to accept a lower percentage of revenues for the players and that Hunter confronted Fisher about the issue.[32] In a letter to the players, Fisher called the reports questioning his loyalty "absurd" and demanded "a retraction for the libelous and defamatory stories" through his attorneys.[33][34] Hunter said his "relationship with Derek is very good. There was no confrontation."[34][35]
Personal[link]
Fisher is the younger brother of former NBA player Duane Washington,[36] who is ten years Fisher's senior.
In 2009, Fisher had a temporary restraining order placed on a 40-year-old female stalker, Symone Fisher, who had been victimising him since 2001.[37] She had insisted she and Derek Fisher were married, and had even changed her surname to match his.[38] He had the order extended by three years, expiring in May, 2012.[38]
In 2010, it was initially reported on an Oklahoma City radio station that Fisher was involved in an altercation at an Oklahoma City Waffle House. While he admitted he was a police witness to a fight that broke out between two customers at a Waffle House in Oklahoma City during a visit with the Lakers after a regular season game in 2009, Fisher denied having been a participant in the latest allegation, which he labeled as false.[39]

Warwick Ashley Davis (born 3 February 1970)[1] is an English actor. He is most notable for playing the title characters in Willow and the Leprechaun film series, as well as for his roles in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and the Harry Potter films. More recently, Davis starred as himself in sitcom Life's Too Short, written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Because of his dwarfism, Davis stands 3 ft 6 in (1.07 m) tall.[2]
Contents |
Early life[link]
Warwick Davis was born in Epsom, Surrey, to an insurance broker and his wife.[3] Davis also has a younger sister. He was educated at Chinthurst School and later the City of London Freemen's School. When Davis was 11, his grandmother heard a radio advert calling for people who were 4 ft. tall or shorter to be in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.[4] To Davis, who was a fan of the Star Wars films, it was a dream come true.
On the set of Return of the Jedi, Mark Hamill bought Davis every single Star Wars figure he did not have.[2]
Career[link]
He was originally cast as an extra Ewok, but when Kenny Baker, who was originally going to be Wicket, fell ill, George Lucas picked Warwick to be the new Wicket after seeing how he carried himself as an Ewok.[3] Davis based his Ewok movements on his dog, who would tilt his head from side to side whenever he saw something strange. During production on the film, Davis made a short mockumentary film about his experience as Wicket, titled Return of the Ewok, made with help from Return of the Jedi's first assistant director, David Tomblin. The unreleased film was a fictional look at his decision to become an actor and act in the film and his transformation into Wicket the Ewok. Davis reprised his role in the ABC made-for-TV films Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.
In 1987, Davis was called to Elstree Studios in London to meet with Ron Howard and George Lucas to discuss a new film project called Willow, which was written with Davis specifically in mind. Willow was his first opportunity to act with his face visible. He co-starred with Val Kilmer in the film, which received a Royal Premiere before the Prince and Princess of Wales. He then moved to television to be in the BBC Television adaptation of the classic The Chronicles of Narnia, specifically in Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (as Reepicheep), and The Silver Chair (as Glimfeather) and an episode of Zorro filmed in Madrid.
In 1993, he played the villainous Irish goblin in Leprechaun. He then returned to the Star Wars universe, playing three roles in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace: Weazel, a gambler sitting next to Watto at the Podrace; Wald, who was Anakin's Rodian buddy; and Yoda in scenes where Yoda was walking.
Davis played the role of Professor Filius Flitwick in the Harry Potter films.[5] Davis played a white-moustached Flitwick in the first two films, and then a black-haired unnamed chorus conductor (presumably Flitwick but not credited as such) for the third installment of the series. In the fourth film, Flitwick is younger looking, with short, brown hair and a trimmed moustache. In addition to playing Flitwick, Davis played the role of the goblin Griphook in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, despite the role being played previously by fellow dwarf actor Verne Troyer.
In 2004, Davis played the character "Plates" in the indie film "Skinned Deep", directed by Special Effects artist Gabriel Bartalos.[6]
In 2006, Davis appeared, alongside fellow Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, in an episode of BBC's comedy series Extras as a satirical version of himself.
Davis starred in the film version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, as the "body" of Marvin the Paranoid Android (the voice was provided by Alan Rickman). In December 2006, Davis starred in the pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarves at the Opera House, Manchester, and again in 2007-08 at the New Wimbledon Theatre.
Davis appeared in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, in which he played Nikabrik the Dwarf, adding to his previous involvement in TV adaptations of the Chronicles of Narnia series. He also appeared as a contestant on the 2007 series of Children in Need reality show Celebrity Scissorhands.
Davis starred as himself in Life's Too Short, written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who also starred.[7]
Other[link]
In addition to his acting career, Davis is the co-founder, with fellow dwarf actor Peter Burroughs, of a talent agency (Willow Management, founded in 1995) that specialises in representing actors under five feet tall. As of 2004, his agency also began representing actors over seven feet tall who had also suffered from being confined to "niche" roles. Over 40 members of Willow Management were cast as goblins in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.
In April 2010 Davis published his autobiography, Size Matters Not: The Extraordinary Life and Career of Warwick Davis, with a foreword by George Lucas.[8]
Personal life[link]
Unlike most dwarfs (70%) who have a condition called achondroplasia, Davis' dwarfism is caused by an extremely rare genetic condition called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SED). He has said the only real drawback to being small was the associated health problems. Of his own dwarfism, Davis has said "As you get older, you can suffer from painful hips, and our joints wear a lot quicker than for people of average height".
Davis is married and has two children, who live in Yaxley near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. His wife, Samantha (b. 1971) has achondroplasia, whilst his children Annabel (b. 1997) and Harrison (b. 2003) also have SED.[9] Samantha is the daughter of his business partner Peter Burroughs, and the sister of actress Hayley Burroughs.
Warwick Davis stated in interviews that Willow and Leprechaun are his favourite characters that he's played in his career.[citation needed]

Carrie Frances Fisher (born October 21, 1956) is an American actress, novelist, screenwriter, and performance artist. She is best known for her portrayal of Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy, her bestselling novel Postcards from the Edge and screenplay for a film of the same name, and her autobiographical one-woman play, Wishful Drinking.
Contents |
Early life[link]
Fisher was born in Beverly Hills, California, the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds. Her father was Jewish, the son of immigrants from Russia, and her mother was Protestant.[1][2][3] Her younger brother is producer and actor Todd Fisher, and her half-sisters are actresses Joely Fisher and Tricia Leigh Fisher. Joely and Tricia's mother is the singer/actress Connie Stevens.
When Carrie Fisher was two, her parents divorced after her father left Debbie for her best friend, actress Elizabeth Taylor, the widow of Eddie's best friend Mike Todd. The following year, her mother married shoe store chain owner Harry Karl, who secretly spent her life savings. It was assumed from an early age that Carrie would go into the family show business, and she began appearing with her mother in Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of 12. She attended Beverly Hills High School, but she left to join her mother on the road. She appeared as a debutante and singer in the hit Broadway revival Irene (1973), starring her mother.
Career[link]
1970s[link]
In 1973, Fisher enrolled at London's Central School of Speech and Drama, which she attended for 18 months. She made her film debut in the Columbia comedy Shampoo (1975) starring Warren Beatty, Julie Christie and Goldie Hawn, with Lee Grant and Jack Warden. In 1977, Fisher starred as Princess Leia in George Lucas' science fiction film Star Wars (later retitled Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope) opposite Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford, a part she sarcastically claims to have obtained by sleeping "with some nerd."[4] At the time she thought the script for Star Wars was fantastic but didn't expect that many people would agree with her and although her fellow actors weren't close they bonded after the commercial success of the film.[5] The huge success of Star Wars made her internationally famous and the character of Princess Leia became a merchandising triumph; there were small plastic action figures of the Princess in toy stores across the United States. She appeared as Princess Leia in the 1978 made-for-TV film, The Star Wars Holiday Special.
In May 1978, she appeared alongside John Ritter in the ABC-TV film Leave Yesterday Behind as a horse trainer who helps Ritter's character after an accident leaves him a paraplegic. At this time, Fisher appeared with Laurence Olivier and Joanne Woodward in the anthology series Laurence Olivier Presents in a television version of the William Inge play Come Back, Little Sheba.
In November 1978, Fisher was the guest host for Saturday Night Live with musical guests The Blues Brothers and special guest Don Novello as Father Guido Sarducci. Dressed in a gold bikini, she reprised her Princess Leia character from Star Wars in "Beach Blanket Bimbo from Outer Space", a parody sketch of 1960s beach party films. Bill Murray and Gilda Radner imitated the Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello characters. John Belushi played biker Eric Von Zipper, and Dan Aykroyd, with whom Fisher was romantically involved, portrayed Vincent Price.
Fisher appeared in the music video for Ringo Starr's cover of "You're Sixteen" as the love interest in 1978 on his TV special of that year.[6][7]
1980s[link]
Fisher later appeared in The Blues Brothers film as Joliet Jake's vengeful ex-lover, listed in the credits as "Mystery Woman". She appeared on Broadway in Censored Scenes from King Kong in 1980. That year, she appeared again as Princess Leia in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. She made her third and final appearance as Leia in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, for which she became a sex symbol due to her appearance wearing a golden metal bikini (the slave girl outfit which almost immediately rose to pop culture icon status). She is one of the few actors or actresses to star in films with both John and James Belushi, later appearing with the latter in the film The Man with One Red Shoe. She also was a replacement in the Broadway production of Agnes of God (1982). She appeared in the Woody Allen film Hannah and her Sisters in 1986.
In 1987, Fisher published her first novel, Postcards from the Edge. The book was semi-autobiographical in the sense that she fictionalized and satirized real life events such as her drug addiction of the late 1970s.[8] It became a bestseller, and she received the Los Angeles Pen Award for Best First Novel. Also during 1987, she was in the Australian film The Time Guardian. In 1989, Fisher played a major supporting role in When Harry Met Sally, and in the same year, she appeared opposite Tom Hanks as his wife in The 'Burbs.
1990s[link]
In 1990, Columbia Pictures released a film version of Postcards from the Edge, adapted for the screen by Fisher and starring Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine, and Dennis Quaid. Fisher appeared in the fantasy comedy film Drop Dead Fred in 1991, and played a therapist in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997). During the 1990s, Fisher also published the novels Surrender the Pink (1991) and Delusions of Grandma (1993).
2000s[link]

In the film Scream 3 (2000), Fisher played an actress mistaken for Carrie Fisher. Director's commentary on the Scream 3 DVD suggests that the sequence was in fact penned by Fisher herself.
In 2001, Fisher played a nun in the Kevin Smith comedy Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The title spoofs The Empire Strikes Back and the film, which includes Mark Hamill, satirizes many Hollywood movies, including the Star Wars series.
She also co-wrote the TV comedy film These Old Broads (2001), of which she was also co-executive producer. It starred her mother, Debbie Reynolds, as well as Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Collins and Shirley MacLaine. In this, Taylor's character, an agent, explains to Reynolds' character, an actress, that she was in an alcoholic blackout when she married the actress's husband, "Freddy".
Besides acting and writing original works, Fisher was one of the top script doctors in Hollywood, working on the screenplays of other writers.[9][10] She has done uncredited polishes on movies starting with The Wedding Singer and Sister Act,[9] and was hired by the creator of Star Wars, George Lucas, to polish scripts for his 1992 TV series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.[9] Her expertise in this area was why she was chosen as one of the interviewers for the screenwriting documentary Dreams on Spec in 2007. However, during an interview in 2004 she said that she no longer does much script doctoring.[10]
Fisher also voices Peter Griffin's boss Angela on the animated sitcom Family Guy and appeared in a book of photographs titled Hollywood Moms (2001) for which she wrote the introduction. Fisher published a sequel to Postcards, The Best Awful There Is in 2004. In August 2006, Fisher appeared prominently in the audience of the Comedy Central's Roast of William Shatner.
Fisher wrote and performed in her one-woman play Wishful Drinking at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles from November 7, 2006, to January 14, 2007.[11] Her show played at the Berkeley Repertory Theater through April 2008,[12] followed by performances in San Jose, California in July 2008, Hartford Stage in August 2008[13] before moving on to the Arena Stage in Washington, DC in September 2008[14] and Boston[15] in October 2008. Fisher published her autobiographical book, called Wishful Drinking based on her successful play in December 2008 and embarked on a media tour. On April 2, 2009, Fisher returned to the stage with her play at the Seattle Repertory Theatre with performances through May 9, 2009.[16] On October 4, 2009, Wishful Drinking then opened on Broadway in New York at Studio 54 and played an extended run until January 17, 2010.[17][18] In December 2009, Fisher's bestselling memoir Wishful Drinking earned her a nomination for a 2009 Grammy Award in the Best Spoken Word Album category.[19]
In 2007, she was a full-time judge on FOX's filmmaking-competition reality television series On the Lot.
Fisher joined Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne on Saturday evenings for The Essentials with informative and entertaining conversation on Hollywood's best films. She guest-starred in the episode titled "Sex and Another City" from season 3 of Sex and the City with Sarah Jessica Parker. This episode also featured Vince Vaughn, Hugh Hefner and Sam Seder in guest roles. On October 25, 2007, Fisher guest-starred as Rosemary Howard on the second season episode of 30 Rock called "Rosemary's Baby", for which she received an Emmy Award[20] nomination. Her last line in the show was a spoof from Star Wars: "Help me Liz Lemon, You're my only hope!". On April 28, 2008, she was a guest on Deal or No Deal. In 2008, she also had a cameo as a doctor in the Star Wars related comedy Fanboys.
Fisher's Wishful Drinking aired as a feature-length documentary on HBO.[21]
Fisher appeared on the seventh season of Entourage in the summer of 2010.[21]
Personal life[link]
Fisher was briefly engaged to the actor and comedian Dan Aykroyd, who proposed on the set of their film The Blues Brothers in 1980. She has stated: "We had rings, we got blood tests, the whole shot. But then I got back together with Paul Simon."[22]
Fisher dated musician Paul Simon from 1977 until 1983, then was married to him from August 1983 to July 1984, and they dated again for a time after their divorce. During their marriage, she appeared in Simon's music video for the song "Rene and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog after the War".
Subsequently, she had a relationship with Creative Artists Agency principal and casting agent Bryan Lourd. They had one child together, Billie Catherine Lourd (born July 17, 1992). The couple's relationship ended when Lourd left to be in a homosexual relationship. Though Fisher has described Lourd as her second husband in interviews, according to a 2004 profile of the actress and writer, she and Lourd were never legally married.[23]
Fisher also had a close relationship with James Blunt. While working on his album Back to Bedlam in 2003, Blunt spent much of his time at Fisher's residence. Vanity Fair's George Wayne wanted Fisher to explain if their relationship was sexual. Fisher dismissed the suggestion: "Absolutely not, but I did become his therapist. He was a soldier. This boy has seen awful stuff. Every time James hears fireworks or anything like that, his heart beats faster, and he gets 'fight or flight'. You know, he comes from a long line of soldiers dating back to the 10th century. He would tell me these horrible stories. He was a captain, a reconnaissance soldier. I became James’s therapist. So it would have been unethical to sleep with my patient."[24]
On February 26, 2005, R. Gregory "Greg" Stevens, a lobbyist and advisor for the Republican Party, was found dead in Fisher's California home due to an overdose of OxyContin compounded by obstructive sleep apnea.[25] In an interview, Fisher claimed that Stevens' ghost haunted her mansion. Fisher was unsettled by this: "I was a nut for a year," she explained, "and in that year I took drugs again."[26]
Fisher has described herself as an "enthusiastic agnostic who would be happy to be shown that there is a God."[27] She was raised Protestant,[1] but often attends Jewish services, the faith of her father, with Orthodox friends.[28] She was a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, Inc. Television ads airing in late January 2011.[29]
Bipolar disorder and drug problems[link]
Fisher has publicly discussed her problems with drugs, her struggle with bipolar disorder, and her overcoming an addiction to prescription medication, most notably on ABC's 20/20 and The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive with Stephen Fry for the BBC. She discussed her 2008 memoir Wishful Drinking and various topics in it with Matt Lauer on NBC's Today on December 10, 2008 and also revealed that she wishes she had turned down the role of Princess Leia.[30] This interview was followed by a similar appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on December 12, 2008, where she discussed her electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatments.[31] She has said that she receives ECT every six weeks to "blow apart the cement" in her brain.[32]
While in Sydney, Australia, Fisher revealed in another interview that she had a cocaine addiction during filming of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and also survived an overdose. "Slowly, I realized I was doing a bit more drugs than other people and losing my choice in the matter" she said in an interview.[33][34]
