LeBron Sparks Doncic’s Transformation…
Luka Doncic has often faced criticism for his conditioning, but the Los Angeles Lakers’ new addition looks ready to flip the script. After a long offseason, unlike your grandma’s knitting projects, which never really end, Doncic emerged in top form, aligning with Coach JJ Redick’s call for championship readiness. Joining EuroBasket allowed the 26-year-old to maintain his conditioning as training camp approached. Assistant coach Greg St. Jean, fresh from international play with Doncic, believes LeBron James played a role in Luka’s transformation. “Iron sharpens iron,” quipped St. Jean, comparing being around great players to being a chef in a kitchen full of master cooks. He’s certain the mutual admiration between LeBron and Luka is pushing each to reach new levels.
Witnessing LeBron’s dedication, up at 5 a.m. like a caffeinated rooster, Doncic is motivated to follow suit and stay injury-free come the next season. LeBron’s routine has sustained him through 22 seasons, and his continue-to-play intensity inspires many. Doncic, already setting historical benchmarks as Slovenia’s leading scorer at just 26, hopes his new physique will keep the doubters quiet as the Lakers prepare for a healthy postseason run. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and maybe a protein shake in honor of this dynamic duo’s upcoming season!
