Derek Fisher was brought to the Oklahoma City Thunder roster to help stabilize the back-up point guard position and bring veteran leadership to a very young team by NBA standards. GIven his tenure in the league and championship experience, Fisher was the ideal person to back Russell Westbrook, especially after a torn ACL sidelined Eric Maynor for the remainder of the season. But he's also been a positive member of the community, most recently by helping with the Rolling Thunder Book Bus.
Recently Fisher took some time to hang with the kids at Eastlake Elementary School in OKC with the Thunder's literacy program for children. According to the team's release, "This converted school bus travels to schools, community centers, museums, parks and other sites throughout the year to promote reading and literacy. Each student who visits the bus receives a free book to promote a love of reading. The book bus includes an inventory of at least 3,000 books for pre-school through fifth grade readers."
Fisher is averaging 4.9 points per game with the Thunder this season.
