Luka Doncic
Luka Doncic and Dallas Mavericks had a great 2022 season. They made it to the Conference finals after nearly a decade of wait, and that too with some of their important players out injured. The team reached new heights and looked better equipped than in previous seasons. For Doncic it was a praiseworthy performance and a certain superstar in making. He was slammed by the media for not being able to get out of the first round of the playoffs. And he proved every doubter wrong, with just one major upgrade still due in 2022 – getting in “shape” for NBA.
NBA stars do have a particular body type, where excess body fats or bulky body affect their game. We have seen Miami Heat giving huge emphasis on the body fat factor, while every athlete on the court also works hard to remain in shape for the fast-paced sport. Doncic was earlier criticized for his “bit bulky” body, which might have limited him to reach his potential.

The Texas franchise had been around for nearly 4 decades now and won 2 conference championships, converting 1 in the Championship back in 2011. For their high enthusiast fan base and Owner Mark Cuban, that’s not enough. Perfectly right on their part though, as every team’s final goal is to win Championship, probably in every season they contest in. Last year was a great run for the Mavs, who were dark horses in the West, and still managed to reach conference finals defeating some strong teams in the process.

Doncic led Dallas throughout the post-season, taking down the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns in previous rounds. But they eventually lost to the eventual champions, the Golden State Warriors in 5 games, highlighting the lack of depth in their roster. But it was still a great season of progress for Dallas.
And as the team gets ready to prepare for next year, Doncic is already making waves all over social media. After great European games, Doncic is going viral because of his body, and in a good way of course.
In the past, many have said that he needs to lose weight to compete in the NBA at a higher level. Well, based on a recent picture that a fan posted with Doncic, it looks like he may have found a way to lose weight during the NBA offseason.
In a recent interview with European outlet SportKlub, Slovenian national team strength and conditioning coach Anze Macek said that Doncic has been taking his physical health extremely seriously this offseason.
Macek said, “Shortly after the end of the season, [Luka] contacted me and said that he wanted to start conditioning immediately. Together with Goran Dragić, they worked for three weeks. The national team action followed.”
He further added, “When he went on vacation, he asked me for a work plan. He remains active. I’m in contact with him almost on a daily basis. He keeps his shape. He will upgrade everything in the national team trainings, where he will prepare for maximum efforts.”
While it definitely is a commendable feat to shed weight in a short period of time, the Mavs fans would be very pleased with his commitments. The post of Skinny Luka was plastered all over Twitter, and lots of NBA fans took the time to give their thoughts on the image.
