Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the world today, and most people would call him a top-10 player in the league. During the 2020-21 season, Luka Doncic averaged 27.7 PPG, 8.0 RPG, and 8.6 APG, while leading the Mavericks to the 5th seed in the Western Conference.
There's no questioning Luka Doncic's talent and production, and there is potential that he will eventually become even better than what he is now. However, there have been some NBA fans who have criticized Luka Doncic in the past over his weight, and some people have suggested that he should get in better shape.
There will always be people who critique you no matter what you do. But it looks as though those haters won't have the "conditioning" talking point about Luka Doncic this season.
A recent photo of Luka Doncic looking jacked was posted by the Dallas Mavericks Twitter account, and it definitely looks as though Doncic is taking his conditioning seriously. Basketball Twitter page Hoop Central made a post featuring the photo, and NBA Fans reacted to it. Some people have claimed that he looks the same, while some expressed excitement at Luka Doncic's improvement in fitness.
The better shape an athlete is in the more likely it is that they will perform better, and it'll certainly be exciting to see Luka Doncic this season. He already is a high-level offensive player, but improved conditioning could mean that he makes another jump. The Dallas Mavericks will certainly hope for some improvement from the young superstar. He's already a problem for defenses, and he could potentially become even more of an issue in 2021-22.
It remains to be seen how the Dallas Mavericks will do this upcoming season, but it seems as though things could be looking up in Dallas after the most recent coaching switch. Luka Doncic looks ready for the season to start, and Dallas Mavericks fans are likely counting down the days before they get to watch him once again.
