LOS ANGELES (AP) -Except for his purple and gold uniform, Derek Fisher would fit right in with the Boston Celtics.
After all, he’s old.
So is Kobe Bryant, when it comes to basketball years. Both are in their early to-mid 30s, just like the core of Boston’s roster.
Hold off on those old-timers’ day games, though. There are still NBA finals ones to be played.
This series, which the Lakers led 1-0 going into Game 2 on Sunday night, is proving that it’s possible to become better with age.
Bryant, the MVP of last year’s finals, is playing some of the best basketball of his career, finer than when the Lakers won three straight titles from 2000-02.
Fisher remembers chasing around Allen Iverson in the finals during the second of those championship series.
