Mavs Digest is a channel that breaks down all of the latest news, reports and rumours on the Dallas Mavericks. This includes coverage on players such as Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Derrick Lively, PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford, Jason Kidd, Mark Cuban and more!
Editors note: Marcel failed to mention that Dirk ALSO went thru a lot of scrutiny and criticism, just for different reasons.
Yeah, white European players all face the ‘soft’ stereotype to some degree but Luka gets the weight shaming too…it’s pure xenophobia and, in some cases, pure racism
Luka will never be skinny. And he doesnt have to. He needs his big'ol legs and butt to push gaurds and wings around. Of course he shouldnt be fat, thats clear. But even in his "biggest" days he was still ok looking. So 245 lbs is fine. BUT he needs to have the stamina to bring his best for a full season. That is and allways was the issue. Either he started slow and needed time to get his conditioning up, or he was pretty well conditioned and then lost it over the season. Not sure what the Mavs and Luka can do. But they have to find a way to keep him in peak condtion for an entire season, then the sky is the limit!
Did we forget he had knee and ankle problems? Normally to heal it, you are required to stay off of it. Leave the man and his weight alone. If he is not ready for the season, then we complain.
One thing I'll say about the post season injuries and weight is the weight had nothing to do with it. Westbrook and Dort were chop blocking his legs every other possession had more to do with those lower extremity issues than weight.
To many drama queens in USA. Its almost like competing who can dramatize more
Honestly the amount of unfair hate Luka is getting is almost comparable to Caitlin Clark. Like isn't it sad that arguably the best player in the NBA and the WNBA are being treated like this? 🤦♂️
Every great player was hated on or still is. Jokic, Giannis, Luka, curry(in the past before his 2015 mvp season to even now), LeBron or even harden in his prime for being too good at manipulating the rules. Notice something? They are either not American or just too good. Americans are just scared by losing the euro players, that’s why they are trying to desperately push ja(in the past), Tatum, shai(although he’s Canadian) or ant. In the end they are still getting smoked by said players. Give Luka the opportunities Tatum had and he would be two time champion already with one or two mvps
Bro if I was in the way of a 260 lbs man determined to put a ball in a hoop that I was in the way of I’d be less inclined to stay in the way.
I think Luka will be alright they always got sum bad to say on our boy
I'm so sick of hearing this. Stop it
I think Luka at best has the Linas Kleiza body type. If he can just get into that shape, he'll be GOAT imo.
food is not a problem, but alcohol is drunk in Slovenia is twice as much as in the whole world an average
the guy deserves a break for this offseason. He battled it out with all his injuries and still reached the finals.
so just imagine what he could without all those extra weight and if he wa more in shape
Luka needs to be healthy, not skinny deep in the playoffs. That is the key
Go to 8:15 to see the video
No problem for Nba
If it's about a good season?, no, it's not a problem
If on the other hand it's about winning the title?, yes it is a problem
Let's remind ourselves that the current champion is the bar, it's being set up super high
In order to beat that Mavs need Luka to be not just in his best shape so far but even better than he has been
Luka needs to drop some weight of course. His knees, ankles & hips will take its toll on his longevity. If he can stay healthy which is a big if, but credit to Luka he plays through pain & injuries. I think we just need to enjoy his talent now realizing he will not have the 15 or 20 year career we want him to. At current 6 years into his playing career IMO he might have 5 to 6 more years at elite playing level. Then he might squeeze 2 more years after that. If so then 8 more is near the max putting him retiring around 33 or 34 years old.
Luka needs to replace a lot of his fat with muscle which should also reduce his injuries and allow him to move better on the court
Luka is a beast regardlesss. I hope he gets on better shape bc I do think it’ll help with the refs. He argues when he’s tired.
There are plenty of nba players who are chubby but none get picked at more than jokic and luka. Rookie luka left ppl in the gulag, crossed up everyone luka has slowed down a bit since seeing no one could guard him on his worse day in nba
that's for sure. I remember some photos of Luka, Lowry and Harden in September (2021 I think). All three with round bellies and round happy faces, a truly entertaining sight! 😄 But yeah, if someone can do the job even with 20+ pounds, I see why he doesn't care that much to get into shape.
to say he has not missed significant time would be inaccurate. he misses an average of 13 games a season which should be a concern considering he has played through many injuries, as he ages it will only get worse. Luka tends to suffer a lot of leg injuries which if he is coming in out of shape every season are contributing to wear that he would not have if he simply maintained his body in the offseason.
True, I think it is important after an exhausting, brutal, and fiercely competitive final run, capped off by Olympic trials and rehab, I think we should let him heal for a bit. That's one big reason we picked up a couple other great scorers , and I look forward to seeing the Mavs torch the league this year. Championship is the next rung. Luka is looking forward to a long and exciting career. Cut the man a break!
Two of the top three players in the league for years have been larger guys-let them eat and enjoy life. 🤣🤣
It’s not Luca no more it’s Charles Barkley Junior so we can call him Charles Junior or Luca😊 Charles Junior
Luka relaxed too much, just like every summer... 🍧🍨🍩
But as long as he still deliver his beautiful assists, who cares ?? 😜
its a game that doesnt mean anything. i mean. watch him at the all-stars. he does basically the same thing.
They need to be careful wut they ask for ....... cause if he's doing all dis out of shape ......... imagine a in shape luka..........GOAT
No trust me he’s 100% eating Eastern European food and drinking beer. I should know.😂
People need to stop talking about this, it's so dumb.
This is so agitating
Luka is not a physically fast person so; on his drives he takes a lot of contact. Luka has to make his own decision as to how to best set himself up to be able to survive all that contract. If Luka put on thirty pounds of muscle and looked a lot more Lebron he would probably be criticized for being too big.
Can’t lose weight by “playing your way into shape”. 90% of being muscular & lean is diet. You can gage when Luka will play sluggishly, slowly & injury prone….when his face is round and his head is huge. Yup! Agreed. Eating American food is hampering his future greatness. (His demons; Sugars, fried fats, alcohol). Cant get away with this in the 21st century playing amongst the greatest athletes in the world. Despite his lifestyle hampering him, he’s still considered one on the best in the world, but he really could be so much better, which is mind blowing. He certainly trains hard and definitely isn’t lazy.
What did you family Mike from Baltimore I still watch the videos I still here they need to stop the s***Lucas okay he's going to do what he do and he's going to get the MVP this year with a championship the man average a damn triple-double this year and didn't get the MVP stop the b*******love your family have a blessed one and stay safe and brother if you can find out the jazzy get her diploma
Luka is fine, stop worring about his weight or hoping he'll look skinny, What we all need to worry about is him getting his Recovery Beer that's all, see what happened last season his beer was taken away then we lost.. SMH
He need to loose some weight, fire his last nutritioner and hire best one. Too much depends on it for the Mavs to win games.
Luka should not afford to miss a season with so many very good teammates, because the chance doesn't always come when we want it...
