The Definition Of A Man
Tell me this guy doesn't deserve Father Of The Year:
The Utah Jazz agreed to release guard Derek Fisher from his contract Monday so he can concentrate on finding the best care for his 11-month-old daughter, who has cancer in her left eye.
This guy is making a fortune playing basketball and he's giving it all up to care for his stricken daughter. Granted he's probably got enough coin in the bank to live comfortably for the rest of his natural life, but it says something when a man like this steps up and says "my baby comes first". There aren't many men like him around anymore.
We can only hope that his daughter's cancer goes into remission. Kudos to the Utah Jazz as well for doing the right thing and allowing him to do this. They could have easily said "fuck you" and made him play out his contract and they would be looked upon as cruel, but they did have the right to do it.
