Derek Fisher or Robert Horry: Who's No. 1?

#2 Derek Fisher - Los Angeles Lakers

Dallas Mavericks v Los Angeles Lakers - Game One
Derek Fisher (L) won five NBA Championships alongside Kobe Bryant

Derek Fisher won all of his five NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers (2000, 01, 02, 09, 10) but his exceptional role-playing career even had appreciable stints with the Utah Jazz, the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Fisher has played the most Playoff games in NBA history - 259, a majority obviously with the Lakers. Over the years, he's multiple clutch shots for the Lakers during the long Playoff runs including the 0.4 shot against the Spurs in 2003 and two HUGE three's against the Orlando Magic in Game 4 of the 2009 Finals.

He could have had his jersey retired but the level of talent in the franchise's history is way too rich for the Lakers to even think about raising Fisher's jersey.
