Why doesn’t the NBA Media talk about Luka Doncic falling out of shape during this Nba season?

[Morethan1]

He played in FIBA this past summer and was looking tone to start the season, I've been watching the Mavs more since the Kyrie trade and Luka looks Doey/flabby as fukk now. I'm definitely not trying to make this a race thing, but I listen to nba podcasts all day while working and it's never mentioned

FIBA 2022

Luka 1-30-23

 

[mastermind]

Ben Taylor on Thinking Basketball podcast talks about it, but most of the nba media don’t actually watch the nba.

 

[UpAndComing]

Because the CAC Analytic nerds that dominate the media are more concerned with.... "Bu bu bu but what about his PER and XYZ and RETQAISPA"

 

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

Don't get a chance to watch a ton of Mavs games...but I saw him against the Lakers a few weeks ago.


Dude is horrendously out of shape. He's in far worse shape than Harden ever was and James got cracked on relentlessly for how bad his body was.


Folks leave Luka alone though...I wonder why.

 

[T-K-G]

Am i missing something? Luka always looked chubby IMO, Harden did not. Going from an in shape 6th man to a flabby superstar is gonna draw scrutiny.


If Jokic came into the league looking like Giannis, THEN morphed into his current Dr Robotnik form people woulda shat on him too, same shyt

Cause he is balling and not always injured.

luka dont really care about NBA

he will get in shape playin for his xountry tho

he knows regardless more than likely will have the richest contract on NBA history

 

[IGSaint12]

Probably because he's still playing amazingly well. People don't have a reason to critique unless you're looking for a reason.

 

[Software]

Because his diet is probably shyt

Nobody cares since he isn't getting injured and he's winning/putting up crazy numbers

 

[ExodusNirvana]

When his numbers decline it will be a talking point, the same way it is for most athletes

his weight is an advantage .

his style of play benefits from it ..

people have no idea how taxing an nba game @ his usage rate is..

he may look "fat" but his cardio is still @ELITE nba level

imo

 

[Dorian Breh]

Cause he is balling and not always injured.

 

[Lord Beasley]

y'all coming at luka like he that guy in NO that missed an entire season and a half

 

[En Sabah Nur]

Is Luka being chubby affecting his ability to run up and down the floor and perform at an elite level? I don't recall him being winded or anything beyond what is normal for other players

So is he really out of shape, or just not as sexy built as you would like him to be?

 

[Collateral]

He eats like an American Cac during the regular season that’s why. Look at the definition in his arms during the summer no homo. There’s no reason he shouldn’t look like that all year long. Mark Cuban and Jason Kidd are afraid to hold Luka accountable.
