Derek Fisher Will Be Successful At Whatever He’s Involved With

Great article forwarded by Dave McKenzie, Founder/CEO of TailorBet, a sports related technology start-up.

I don’t know who said it originally, but I’m pretty sure it was the late Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead - aim not only to be the best at what you do, but the only one capable of doing what you do - or something along those lines.

Derek Fisher channels his inner Jerry Garcia in the following killer quote…

Q: OK, back to the interview. Sorry, I’d always wanted to ask you about that. Does it hurt you at the trade deadline when you constantly hear whispers about the Lakers needing to upgrade at point guard? Or like now, when there is so much talk about free agents the Lakers could sign?

A: Nah, because I don’t really get overly concerned with who can come in and do what I do better than me or replace me. You could try something different, but you cannot go out and find what I do, period. Regardless of what you try or who you try to get, it won’t be the same. It might look different. It might even look better, depending on the packaging. But it won’t be what I do.

FISHHHHHHHHHHHER!!
