Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks is currently looking good.
Videos and photos of him in the offseason have shown a slimmed-down Doncic who is in the gym and seemingly ready to burst into the new season.
Kendrick Perkins touched upon Doncic’s physique on ESPN, saying, “I definitely love skinny Luka.”
Perkins then suggested that Doncic model himself after reigning Finals MVP Nikola Jokic.
Jokic has always shown an ability to stay disciplined – and in shape – all season long.
“When you look at him and you look at how he was disciplined throughout the whole course of the season, that’s what Luka has to do,” Perkins said.
Doncic is one of the best NBA players alive right now.
However, some people criticize him because of his conditioning and the way he treats his body.
There have been times when he started the season looking a little soft around the midsection.
He is currently on a quest for redemption, hoping to pull the Mavericks up out of the bad spot they were in when last season ended.
For that to happen, he will need to be in the best shape of his life from the first game of the season to the last.
Jokic, who naturally isn’t the skinniest player around, does whatever he must be in tip-top shape for the duration of the year.
He is a great combination of physical and mental determination and discipline.
If Doncic wants success that is like Jokic’s, he will have to follow in his footsteps, according to Perkins.
Doncic is doing the right things this summer and that has fans very excited.
Will that carry over into the regular season?
