A little more from Tuesday's first round of Lakers exit interviews:

Derek Fisher's role as respected veteran leader was underlined by his appearance at Wednesday's press conference to announce plans for Wednesday's parade (and how it would be funded), reprising his call of Sunday for responsible celebration of the Lakers' championship.
A little later, he met the media after his exit interview with Phil Jackson and Mitch Kupchak, and made the somewhat surprising admission that his fourth championship, and first in seven years "feels like No. 1 to me, to be honest.
"I know this is, crazy to say, my fourth championship," he said, "but it really feels like No. 1 because of how much has happened since 2002. ...
I know the excitement I was feeling. Some of the interviews and things that I've seen, stuff on camera, I could see it in my own face, that I was just happy and excited. So it's like I've never been through this before, even though I have."
He was also asked if he had put his two crucial 3-point shots in Game 4 in perspective. He said no, but noted that an L.A. Times story ranking the top five shots in L.A. Lakers playoff history (thanks to a tie, there were actually six shots involved) had quite an impact.
"The first time I looked at it," he said, "I just saw it, and then I looked at it again and said out loud, 'I'm on here twice.' ...
"Thinking about my life and what I've been through -- not necessarily my daughter" -- who has had to battle eye cancer -- "and that, but just being born and raised in Little Rock, and to be sitting here now and have had all the experiences I've had on and off the court, it's not typical, it's not what I would have expected of myself.
"To be on that list twice, with this organization, I don't know if there's anything I can say that really justifies it or makes sense of it or whatever. I think if I try to make sense of it, it just might go away."
Someone asked if he might be pointing that article out to Kobe Bryant.
"I need a puppet, right?" Fisher responded, laughing, referring to ads featuring puppet versions of Bryant and LeBron James that ran throughout the playoffs.
Like father, like son: Luke Walton joined a unique club with his first NBA championship. He and his father Bill became just the third father-son set to win NBA titles, joining Matt Goukas Sr. (1947 Philadelphia Warriors) and Matt Goukas Jr. (1967 Philadelphia 76ers) and Rick Barry (1975 Golden State Warriors) and Brent Barry (2005 and 2007 San Antonio Spurs).
"I haven't really sat down and thought about it," said Walton. "But it's pretty awesome that it's that rare, to do it in the sport that I love playing so much."
Someone joked that it put pressure on him to have kids, and take a shot at becoming part of the first three-generation title group. This drew a huge laugh.
"That's good," he said. "I'll have kids someday: 'One of you better do it, or we're going to have problems.' "
Walton's father, who won titles in Portland and Boston, has been more or less home-bound after back surgery, but the younger Walton said he'd heard from his dad earlier Tuesday.
"I was on a radio show, and they said they had a special guest," he said. "... All of a sudden, they're like, 'It's your dad.' He started talking. No one asked him a question.
"They introduced him as a special guest, and he went on for over eight minutes about the greatness of the Lakers and Dr. Buss and Mitch Kupchak and Phil and winning a championship.
"He's doing a lot better, I think. The last couple times I talked to him, he wasn't as excited. So I don't know if it's his back feeling better or his son winning a championship, but something's making him feel a lot better."
More to come: Exit interviews will resume Thursday (with a group including Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom) and wrap up Friday with press conferences by Phil Jackson and Mitch Kupchak. Check here and in The Star for coverage of those days.
