LeBron Motivates Luka’s Offseason Transformation…
Luka Doncic has been hounded by critics about his fitness for so long, he’s practically the poster boy for donut sales. But with a chapter opening at the Los Angeles Lakers, Luka decided to trade those doughnuts for dumbbells. This offseason, he’s looking more motivated than a cat watching a laser pointer. Even head coach JJ Redick put the pedal to the metal, driving the idea of championship shape home, which Doncic seems to have embraced like a bear hug. And with EuroBasket keeping him hopping along like a showtime bunny, Assistant coach Greg St. Jean swears that it was LeBron James who morphed Doncic’s regimen from potato chips to push-ups.
As Luka stood shoulder-to-shoulder with LeBron, it was like walking with the human version of an alarm clock. LeBron wakes up at 5 a.m., and trust us, he probably thinks the sunrise works for him, not the other way around. This two-way inspiration has been like watching Thor hand his hammer to a young Avenger. The Lakers are buzzing with excitement for a strong season, hoping Doncic doesn’t tumble into injury all because he sneezed too hard. His transformation on the EuroBasket courts has him breaking records as Slovenia’s all-time top scorer, which is more predictable than cats refusing water. The Lakers need him spry as a fresh lawn in spring, ready to tackle the playoffs head-on.
