NBA guards Fisher, Maggette to grace E for All expo

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Derek Fisher and Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Corey Maggette will grace the inaugural E for All Expo on October 19, 2007 to play some one-on-one off the court. The two NBA stars are also big gaming fans, and they’ll show off their skills at one of the industry’s newest shindigs.

The game they’ll be playing hasn’t been disclosed yet, but to spice things up, pro gamer Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel will join them and take part in the action himself. Wendel is considered as one of the very best cyber-athletes in the planet today.

“Getting to compete against Corey and Fatal1ty at E for All is an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” said Fisher. “Playing video games has always been a cool way for me to hone my competitive skills off the court. I have fun when I play, but I still play to win. I can’t wait to test my skills out against these guys!”

E for All is one of the few game expos that are open to the public. It is viewed as a spiritual successor to E3’s old identity which has seen a drastic change with restrictions this year. E for All has been able to bring some major video game companies to its fold and is all set to rock starting October 18 until October 24.

Fisher and Maggette are both known for their distinct styles of play on the court. Maggette is among the better swingmen in the league with his good mix of ball handling and shooting. Fisher, on the other hand, is a stalwart of the Lakers’ three-peat, providing more firepower to the Shaquille O’Neal-Kobe Bryant tandem in the earlier part of the decade.
