Oklahoman’s Darnell Mayberry on Derek Fisher, Lakers-Thunder

Among the highlights of my conversation with the Oklahoman’s Darnell Mayberry on the Lakers-Thunder game:

--What he makes of the NBPA executive committee asking for Derek Fisher’s resignation as president.

--How Mayberry measures Fisher’s shooting struggles and locker-room presence with Oklahoma City.

--Why the Thunder would beat the Lakers in the playoffs.

--How Serge Ibaka and Thabo Sefolosha try to make Kobe Bryant work for his shots.

--Why Mayberry is picking LeBron James over Kevin Durant for MVP and James Harden for sixth man of the year.

--Mayberry explains to what degree the Thunder values being seeded No. 1.

You can follow Mayberry’s work on the Oklahoman’s website and on Twitter.
