Fisher officially returns to Lakers
Basketball Betting Lines
07/14/2010 -
El Segundo, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Lakers have re-signed free
agent guard Derek Fisher, the club announced Wednesday.
Per team policy, no details of the deal were released. However, according to a
report in Monday's Los Angeles Times, Fisher has agreed to a three-year deal
to remain with the team he helped to the last two NBA titles.
Fisher, who turns 36-years old in August, was reportedly being wooed by Pat
Riley and the new-look Heat after LeBron James and Chris Bosh signed contracts
with the team last week.
But Fisher will stay in LA, where he has spent 11 of his 14 NBA seasons,
including the last three. Fisher was also with the Lakers for their three-
peat from 2000-2002.
"At the end of the day, there's one person I could not turn away from. Kobe
Bryant asked me to stay but supported whatever decision I made. He and I have
played together for 11 seasons, came into the league together as kids, and has
been loyal to me even when others had doubts," Fisher said in a statement. "I
have decided to continue with Kobe, continue with our teammates and the fans
of Los Angeles...Let the hunt for six begin."
Despite averaging only 7.5 points and 2.5 assists during the 2009-10 regular
season, Fisher contributed 10.3 points and 2.8 assists on the championship run
this past season.
For his career, the Arkansas-Little Rock product has logged 9.0 points and 3.2
assists in 1,028 regular-season games, which included stints in Golden State
(2004-06) and Utah (2006-07).

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
