Derek Fisher’s First Public Comments About His Fight With Matt Barnes After months of letting the speculation bubble, Derek Fisher is finally speaking via TheCauldron about the infamous fight he had with former teammate Matt Barnes over Gloria Govan… So let’s set the record straight on my personal life — specifically, my relationship with Gloria Govan and how it relates to Matt Barnes. First, I was stunned and disappointed by the way Gloria was treated in the media. After the much publicized (and unfortunate) situation went down in Los Angeles last year, story after story was published that portrayed her as a piece of property, instead of the strong, independent woman and mother she is; someone who is capable of making her own decisions. This is a human being we are talking about, not some pawn in a game. As far as Matt goes, to say that we had history before the incident would be an exaggeration. We played together for the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2010–11 season, and a couple months in the lockout-shortened 2011–12 season. That’s it. That’s the history. During that time, we were teammates, and never had any issues. We never had any real relationship off the court, either. Our kids didn’t hang out, our families didn’t interact. There were no birthday parties. There were no post-game dinners. We weren’t friends and we had no mutual friends.
