Luka Doncic's dream is to emulate what Pau Gasol did in his day. The Spaniard came to the Lakers and together with Kobe Bryant starred in an incredible era in which they won two rings. In addition, Pau, who was formed in Barcelona, Real Madrid's eternal rival, where Luka has been formed, managed to consecrate himself in the Lakers.

The two have many things in common. Both triumphed in Spain, albeit with two teams that are fierce rivals in the ACB. Pau was a child prodigy and won the U20 World Championship with the Spanish national team, while Doncic was already astonishing at the age of 15 with Real Madrid, with whom he won the European Championship both as a junior and later playing with the first team.
