Luka Doncic Speaks on the Criticism About His Conditioning Following the Mavs’ Decision to Trade Him: 'I’m Used to It'

“That’s fine,” Doncic shrugged off the criticism. “I’ve been questioned many, many times in my life. It’s just another motive to be more prepared for myself and just take another role.

“I’ve been questioned a lot, so I’m used to it. It’s a job, it’s a business and I’m just happy to be here. Play basketball, that’s all I want.”

Doncic has since put his past with the Mavs behind him. In his talk with Greenberg, he’s focused on playing for his new team moving forward. The adjustment? Los Angeles’ new star said that it’s getting better every day.

“Everyday it goes by, it’s better. Honestly, it feels like one month long process but everyday’s getting better for me.”

Doncic played for Dallas for almost seven seasons, averaging 28.1 points, 8.3  rebounds and 7.8 assists. Last season, he led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011. However, they lost to the Boston Celtics in five games.

Kenny Smith thinks Luka Doncic puts a mix to the Western Conference

One of the league’s best players is Luka Doncic. He alters the Western Conference’s dynamic with the current deal. Kenny Smith of TNT is among the pundits who think Doncic has changed the situation in the West.

“This guy changes the dynamic of the Western Conference. He’s that good, he is a savant in the game,” Smith said. “His ability to get to where he wants to score is unprecedented and there’s no one in the NBA other than Joker (Nikola Jokic) who can get to their spot regardless of what you’re thinking.

According to Marc Stein, the five-time All-Star is targeting to debut with the Lakers on Monday against the Utah Jazz. Fans are looking forward to how Doncic will perform with Los Angeles.
