PureDWTS Season 25 Cast Rumor: NBA Champion Derek Fisher To Dance?
Apparently,five-time NBA champion and former Knick’s coach, Derek Fisher, is following Sharna Burgess at her instagram. Could this be her partner for the new season on Dancing With The Stars? If true, my hubby will be happy. Let us know what you think. Thanks to Corinne for the heads up.
I’d love to see D Fish! I’m here for it!
Yikes- honestly not thrilled about this one, although I’ll keep an open mind. He has had a lot of person problems recently (major DUI, huge fight with former teammate, just got fired) but what actually worries me is he is known to have a HUGE ego and like to blame other people for his issues- not a great combo for DWTS. Some of his interviews are just insane.
DWTS has a way of making me root for problematic stars, though, so hopefully I’m wrong. He was a great athlete, is still in awesome shape, and it would be nice to see Sharna with an older contestant again.
I had a feeling Sharna’s partner might be him when it came out it was an NBA guy. It’s not an awful choice per say but with his background and his most recent DUI crash.. he could be problematic. I feel bad for Sharna getting two possible assholes in a row like this, but hopefully he’s different than I think/have heard he is. I know last fall I went in hating Ryan and thinking he was awful but by the time he was eliminated he had grown on me. Now whether that was his goofy personality or Cheryl or a combo I don’t know. I’ll keep an open mind, but it would really suck for Sharna to have to deal with two ego centric athletes back to back.
No clue who he wasn’t so I had to look him up and let’s just say that his career amazes me. Love this possibility
Not the type of partner she usually gets. Maybe this will be a good thing for her, won’t make her so anxious to win. She seems at her best when she’s relaxed and not feeling the need to win that mirror ball.
I don’t believe he is known for being an a-hole or having a big ego. He kept the peace between Kobe and Shaq when they won 3 championships, then he took time off after that when his daughter was ill. He then returned to the Lakers and they won 2 more championships. Him not being a great NBA coach and being fired isn’t a big thing imo. As far as the DUI he got after a single car accident, he’s acknowledged the mistake and took full responsibility for it. I don’t think he is an awful pick for Sharna and I say that as someone who is a fan of hers. Look at all the issues Andy Dick brought to the table and he was likable on the show. He’s still in shape, and if he works hard and can connect with the audience who knows what can happen. He has a nice smile as an added bonus.

Derek Fisher is a great guy. He seems like a really chill and laid back dude who I personally think would be a great fit for Sharna. His work ethic is insane as any NBA fan would know, and I think that that will crossover onto the show. Yeah the guy has made some mistakes, but you can’t judge him for them. I think this is a pairing that will surprise a lot of people.
