LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -Amid a purple-and-gold party at her charming, spacious home, Derek Fisher’s mother surrounds herself with distractions. She’ll stop to sweep the kitchen floor, talk with friends for a bit – and occasionally, she’ll just vanish from sight entirely.
Anything to take her eyes off that television screen, where Annette Fisher’s son is playing for another NBA championship.
This is Derek Fisher’s seventh appearance in the finals, and he’s won four titles – but the Los Angeles point guard’s mother is still an endearing bundle of nerves. When there’s no game on, however, Annette Fisher has plenty to keep her busy. Whether she’s working on a project for her church or supporting the mothers of other NBA players, she’s earned about as much acclaim in Little Rock as her famous son.
