Greg St. Jean on Luka’s Conditioning…
One hot topic in the NBA universe is the incredible physical metamorphosis of the Los Angeles Lakers’ very own Luka Doncic. He’s been sweating buckets this summer, shedding more weight than a Labrador in July. Doncic will showcase his new form at FIBA EuroBasket 2025, where he’ll attempt to make Slovenia proud with a medal win. Joining him in this quest is none other than Lakers assistant coach Greg St. Jean, who seems to know Luka’s routine like a chef knows his recipes. Even with all those intense drills, St. Jean says Luka’s fitness is still “a work in progress.”
St. Jean highlights that there’s a giant gulf between being gym-fit and basketball-ready, a divide bigger than the Grand Canyon! Luka’s new physique is impressive, but matching the court demands requires that extra edge, one he’s refining daily. With renewed vigor, he impressed everyone in Slovenia’s latest game following a knee hitch scare, proving there’s no stopping his evolution. With his eyes on dominating EuroBasket first and later taking charge in the Lakers’ season, Luka’s journey to peak basketball condition is set to be an epic adventure.
