The NY Times has an insightful article into the situation with Derek Fisher and the condition of his 10-month old’s bout with retinoblastoma. From the article

“He really had three choices,” Abramson said. “Remove the eye, remove the eye or remove the eye.”

This will go down as one of the greatest, most memorable moments in Utah Jazz history. As Nellie said:

You’re talking about Willis Reed walking in

I sure wished I would have recorded that game, but alas my DVR was being used to record something else. I’d buy it in a second. I don’t think the Jazz have had quite the emotional game that occurred that night. The whole game could almost be made into a movie. From Deron Williams picking up two early fouls, to Dee Brown getting folded in half like the waiter in Men in Black, to using AK as the point guard. And then you have the hero’s entrance late in the game that came straight out of a basketball movie. Maybe he should have pinned a baby-blue cape to his back. I can’t think of anything that would give a a greater boost to a team and to the fans than that entrance. I can’t imagine what it was like for the fans there. Who knows how the game would have played out?

Here’s all the best to the Fisher family.
