Among the challenges in Derek Fisher's life these days is finding a balance between making shots and calling them.
The veteran Los Angeles Lakers point guard is also the president of the National Basketball Players Association, a position assuming much greater visibility this year, with the collective bargaining between the union and NBA up for renewal.
The challenge in playing and serving as president, Fisher said, is "in the form of making sure I'm managing my days effectively -- and doing the things I need to do so I'm not overwhelmed in my free time. Because free time is extremely important to balance during the season because the season is so long."
