Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the NBA. He is still only 23 years old and a trip to the Western Conference Finals in the recently concluded season seems to indicate he will only want more. Doncic is currently busy preparing for the EuroBasket with the Slovenian national team which will be held this September.

A photo posted by a fan on Twitter shows Doncic bulked up. The young superstar is likely on a trajectory toward greatness. He has seemingly unlimited talent and can hurt any opposition in a variety of ways. His work and dedication to his body will indicate how great he can be. While he was instrumental in helping the Dallas Mavericks reach the conference finals, the Golden State Warriors were able to nullify him well to come away with a 4-1 series win.

Watching him working out while most of the players are on vacation will probably make most of his opponents worried. Stephen Curry outplayed the Slovenian international in the conference finals. While the Warriors are arguably a much better team than the Mavericks, Doncic has proved he can carry them to great heights without much help.

Luka Doncic is already a superstar

Luka Doncic came to the league with a huge reputation after his heroics with the Real Madrid Baloncesto in Spain. He won the Rookie of the Year award in 2018. Doncic has been an All-Star in three of his four years in the league. He has also been named to the All-NBA First Team three times already. That is undoubtedly a huge accomplishment in a league full of superstar guards.

A bulked-up Doncic would probably scare the league and fellow young guards such as Ja Morant and Devin Booker. It seems like they will meet each other often over the next few years at the top of the Western Conference.
