My nick name for Derek Fisher is "Fishy Rim", a nod to a commercial that featured the ballcam view of Fisher's catch and shoot miracle with .04 seconds left on the clock to beat the Spurs. Fishy Rim!

Former Knicks coach Derek Fisher totaled a luxury SUV on a Los Angeles freeway this weekend, with girlfriend Gloria Govan in the passenger seat, leading to Fisher’s arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.

According to TMZ, the 2015 Cadillac Escalade was registered to Barnes, Govan’s infamous ex-husband, making it the latest chapter in this rowdy NBA love triangle.

The California Highway Patrol said the car was on Freeway 101 approaching the 405 interchange in Sherman Oaks early Sunday when it veered onto the paved shoulder, hit the raised concrete and metal barrier, flipped over and skidded toward the middle of the highway on its roof.

Fisher, 42, was arrested at the scene.

In a joint statement released hours after the harrowing accident, Fisher and Govan said they were “beyond grateful that we are both OK and no one else was involved.”

Govan, 32, was officially divorced from Barnes last December, more than a year after Barnes drove in a rage to Govan’s LA-area home — what’s with these three and cars? — to confront and rough up Fisher for dating her. Barnes and Govan have two children together.

Barnes now plays for the Golden State Warriors. He played six seconds in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night as the Warriors moved within one win of the title.
