A-Smith talks about Doncic s weight loss: It s a good thing, but what can really reflect changes is off-ball and defense

Recently, Lakers star Doncic became the cover character of Men's Health magazine. During the offseason, he successfully lost weight through training and diet. Famous vocalist Stephen A-Smith said on the show that offseason efforts cannot illustrate how they perform after the start of the season.

Host: Should the league be afraid of this "slimming version" Luca?

Stephen A-Smith: No, there is no need to be more scared than they are now.

I mean, this brother is a phenomenal offensive genius, and there is no doubt about it. However, it is two different things to do to get a good figure in the offseason and maintain this figure throughout the season, which we must continue to observe next.

This physical condition is obviously crucial, right? But does that mean you will run off the ball on the court instead of standing there waiting for the ball? Does this mean you will continue to put in more effort on the defensive end? This is where change can be truly reflected.

So, it is a good thing to see him prioritize his physical condition, because we know this has always been his fatal weakness. He is an amazing basketball player and a superstar in the league. But the key is, how will all this be reflected on the basketball court? It's not only about your figure, but also about the efforts you put in on the court. And this doesn't end in the offseason, the offseason is just the beginning.
