As part of the Los Angeles Lakers press conference at Media Day, the new addition to the team, Juan Toscano, spoke about his arrival and his expectations for this season, including winning his second championship ring and leave the name of Mexico on high.
For Toscano, the key will be the figures that will be representing the Lakers, although he assured that he will not decree that the season will be theirs.
“I already know what it’s like to win an NBA championship and that’s why I wanted to be on a team that has the capabilities and potential to win a title that I think this team has, I’m not sitting here saying that we are going to win the championship. What I am saying is that when you have players like Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and LeBron James, you have the opportunity to compete“, commented Toscano.
But the most outstanding thing that he left in the press conference was when he dedicated himself to talking about how he hopes to represent Mexican culture and leave the name of the Tricolor high.
“I want to thank them, I know that in Los Angeles, the fans are different, here I am going to play hard, I am going to represent Mexico at the top and I am going to represent my people and my country. with great pride“, Toscano concluded.
The forward arrives at the Angelina badge after spending three seasons with the Golden State Warriors, making his debut in the season 2019-2020 until being champion in recent months.
