LeBron’s Influence on Doncic’s Fitness…
A major complaint about Luka Doncic has always been his fitness level. Now, as he prepares for the new season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Doncic is supercharged and ready to wipe out that critique. It seems he’s been spending more time in the gym than a squirrel hoarding acorns for winter. Thanks to a longer break, the Slovenian superstar is in top form. Participating in EuroBasket, the 26-year-old aims to stay fit as training camp approaches. Assistant coach Greg St. Jean thinks LeBron James has a hand in this transformation, as mentioned by Pijus Sapetka of BasketNews.
According to St. Jean, LeBron and Luka’s dynamic sparks motivation on both ends. It’s as if they each installed an invisible treadmill and are running a marathon towards greatness. LeBron’s routine of waking up at 5 a.m. to train surely sets a high bar — like jumping over a skyscraper in a single bound. And for Doncic, staying healthy is crucial tiptoeing into next season’s playoffs. At this rate, Doncic might just fly past Slovenia’s top scorer stats or even challenge the Lakers’ legendary conditioning drills before you can say “slam dunk!”
