If someone knows how to win a championship, it's Derek Fisher.
Five-time NBA Champion in the Western Conference, also won championships with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Fisher was asked to comment what should Doncic do to reach the glory in Los Angeles, stressing out long-term habits:
"The responsibility is, it’s hard to describe. My shoes were never the size of Luka’s, in terms of really carrying the franchise into the next iteration and generation. I think the biggest thing is being a champion," Fisher started on ESPN LA.
"While Lakers fans and the organization are always going to go for it every season, for Luka and guys that look like they’re going to be here for multiple years, you still have to have the willingness to play the long game. Right?"
"You’re looking to win now, but your habits have to last for a decade," Fisher shortly concluded.
