Luka Doncic has gone from being criticized for his fitness and conditioning to making the cover of Men’s Health magazine’s summer edition.

Lakers guard Luka Doncic unveiled a new, shocking look Monday. Then shared what drove him to develop a new physique.

When the Lakers traded for Luka Dončić in the wee hours of Feb. 2, the immediate thought was that it was a fake report. After a few minutes and confirmation, reality set in, and the next immediate question that swirled in the wake of perhaps the most shocking trade in NBA history was why would the Dallas Mavericks trade Dončić?

Fresh off a quick postseason exit, Luka ​​Dončić wasted no time getting ready for his first full year as a Laker.

Luka Dončić's physical transformation was a process in the works even before the Dallas Mavericks decided to trade him to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Doncic apparently took all the mocking and criticism about his weight personally. How much the 26-year-old Slovenian weighed when he was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Lakers back in early February was a hotly debated issue on nearly every sports talk show.

Luka Doncic is exercising and dieting like crazy this summer for the Los Angeles Lakers. That's because he sees visions of $369 million flashing before his eyes.
