Luka Doncic Discussion: Lean Mean Slovenian Machine

sorry but he just looks skinny and weak.

I need to see rippling and bulging muscles. If he doesn't look like Corey Magette, I won't even think he's trying.

 

GM Magic would be proud

 

i read that, but i'm wondering if what he meant was that it's higher now than it was the past few years, not higher than 42 inches. and tbh, we've never seen a functional 40" very from doncic. doesn't pat connaughton have some huge vert or something? some guys just don't/can't use it in game scenarios. relatedly...

i know i'm in the minority, but i'm ok if luka never dunks again. keep those legs near the ground. he's an all-time great on offense without posterizing anyone, and i don't want extra wear and tear to prove points to the haterz. james harden's fat a** has played like 15 years without ever being in great shape partially because he basically never jumps, lol. i think that's part of why SGA stays healthier than some, too, and why edwards worries me a bit (though he might be an mj type freak who can stay healthy while just killing his knees at all times).

i know you're joking, but i wonder if he looks a bit skinny in part just because you don't see him standing next to other nba players. he's just thicker-bodied than your typical nba player. when he gets on the court this summer, i think he'll look noticeably slimmer but still thicker than most guys. which is good. his size is a positive attribute in his game. in the article they talk about it a bit--that because of some of that bulk he's just really hard to move. it's why you see the nba defenders get really flustered with him. they try to get physical in ways that work with basically anybody else, and it does nothing.

 

Yeah I don’t mean a large quantity of dunks rather the fire a team up / embarrass some opponent he’s pissed at “statement” type when he’s got clear landing space. Doesn’t even need to jump all that high in the first place at 6’8”. Understand your point completely.

 

If these pics are real (no touch up in PS), damn, he did hell of a job. Can't wait to see him embarass fools out there.

 

but does he have abs?

or just one ab?

 

Abs are like feelings.

I only have one.

 

Abs are overrated, just saying

 

They lied about his vertical. He still looks amazing though.


They added this:

And changed the original story to:

 

Luka getting some first-step burst back would be massive. If you combine him looking closer to what he looked like in 2020/2021 athletically with the growth in his game since then...he's the 2nd best guy in the league at worst.

 

Six pack baby!

 

Most elite athletes have them though and that's all tied to your core. Right?

 

Core???? We don't need no steenking cores mang!!!!
