“Dude Luka is so fat now” – NBA fans SHOCKED at stark difference in Mavericks star’s physique one year apart

Luka Doncic recently mentioned that he misses Jalen Brunson, which got fans digging videos of younger Luka and noticing a huge difference in his weight. Doncic is seen in a slim athletic build back in 2019 with Brunson. However, with a grown beard and a more bulky muscle look, he looks much fatter, claim NBA Fans. “He needs to lose weight in the off-season and like a significant amount, kinda sad,” said one fan on Twitter, as the Maverick is likely to miss the playoffs either way.

Doncic has developed a more muscly physique after getting a taste of the playoffs in 2021 and losing in the first round to the Los Angeles Clippers. Some fans feel Luka has gone from skinny to a healthy weight, but most fans feel Doncic is stress-eating away at the Maverick’s losses. Dallas is currently the 11th seed and is about to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2020.

The Dallas Mavericks have plummeted under Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving this season, causing fans to look at Luka with more scrutiny. Fans are ready to admit he is having a historic season, but some feel his weight is a more significant issue.

One fan likened his condition to Zion Williamson by saying – “Bro took diet tips from Zion.” Williamson famously put on weight when he broke his foot, and Luka also had a lengthy injury recently.

Luka Doncic’s party lifestyle could be a contributor to his weight, but it is barely affecting his performance

Doncic is already earning 37 million dollars a year at a young age, and one fan feels that might be the issue. Luka is known to be a partygoer as he has been seen with hookahs at parties and earned the nickname ‘Hookah Doncic.’ Luka developed a chubby figure throughout his career, and fans did not seem to notice it, but as they look back, the difference is apparent.

Doncic, however, despite the criticism of his health, has been firing on all guns since returning from injury. He is averaging 29 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists in his last nine games despite the Mavericks not even winning one-third of these games. Dallas has slipped due to their inability to close out games, and Luka has been at fault there too. Although his clutch plays this season, Doncic has had embarrassing moments in crunch time.

Here are some of the best fan reactions that flooded social media after pictures of his initial days with the Mavs surfaced.

However, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks have no time to dwell on what social media thinks of him. They are down to an 8% chance to make the NBA playoffs compared to 96% back in February. The Mavericks need Luka to deliver in crunch time and put them on his back as he has done before. He can surely quieten down some talk about himself by taking the Mavericks to the playoffs.
