After years of being criticized about his conditioning, Luka Doncic isn’t hiding anymore. The Lakers star has emerged this summer in peak form, and now he’s finally speaking up.

In a recent interview with Complex, Doncic was asked about the real motivation behind his drastic transformation. The five-time All-Star didn’t dodge, “I mean, just being the best that I can be,” Luka said. “You know, nothing specific from outside. You know, obviously, athletes need to relax.
