St. Jean Talks Luka’s Conditioning Progress…
In a fascinating twist of the offseason, Luka Doncic, the Los Angeles Lakers’ new superstar, is looking significantly slimmer — like he’s been on a diet of celery and cloud fluff. But before the new Lakers season kicks off, Doncic’s hitting the court in FIBA EuroBasket 2025, leading Slovenia like some kind of basketball wizard on a quest for a shiny medal. His sidekick, Lakers assistant coach Greg St. Jean, who’s part of Slovenia’s coaching gang, thinks Doncic’s new fitness is still cooking. It’s like saying a gourmet meal isn’t ready just because the potatoes haven’t escaped the oven yet.
According to St. Jean, being in shape isn’t the same as being in ‘basketball shape,’ which sounds like something only a mystical court goblin could decipher. After taking a break from touching a basketball for a month, Doncic’s now ready to unpack his new fitness on the court. He’s already exploded back with a dazzling display against Great Britain, dropping 28 points with rebounds and assists like confetti at a parade. With the Lakers season approaching, Doncic’s fitness and charm will only continue to soar to infinity and beyond!
