In this league, Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic’s play is among the most impressive at this point of the season. Entering the All-Star break, he is averaging 35.4 points, 9.8 assists, and 10.3 rebounds in his last ten games. Also included is his 51-point performance against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has been scoring great numbers for the team consistently.

Mark Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks team, added some comments regarding Luka’s performance in the current situation. The billionaire shares the brutal truth about Luka’s excessive weight gain and his motivational journey.

It all started when Luka received heavy criticism regarding his weight. He admitted his situation during the Olympics, which led to the impression that he relaxed a bit too much during this period. In the report, it was noted that he entered the program for the second consecutive year with 260 pounds of weight.

Luka Doncic’s weight loss journey was discussed by Mark Cuban

In his radio appearance on “The Morning Musers“, Cuban discussed Luka’s journey from the start of the season to now. According to him, Luka is getting motivation from the criticism he faced at the beginning of this season. This is resulting in the performance he is showing at this point.

“I think he was humbled a little bit,“ Cuban said. “He didn’t like being called out for his weight and other things and it finally clicked that there’s a level of discipline that’s required.”

“All athletes at his level go through it at some stage where things are just easy and you’re always used to being the best. You’re always used to getting all the accolades, and then when something doesn’t go according to what you expected it makes you reconsider.”
