Regardless of how they feel about him, most NBA fans agree that Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks is one of the best players in the league.
The Slovenian wonder just had perhaps his best season as his team made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals.
They didn’t end up winning but the Mavs impressed last season and Doncic showed he has what it takes to go all the way.
The new-look Luka Doncic is causing waves on social media after being known to let himself loose in the summer.

Some people were concerned, however, because Doncic has a habit of letting himself go a bit in the summer.
Maybe it’s too many barbecues and beers but Doncic usually starts the regular season with a few extra pounds in his midsection.
Yet, that isn’t the case this year as Doncic has been repeatedly spotted looking fit and healthy and strong and ready for the new season.
The slimmer Doncic gets, the larger his chances at true NBA greatness.
Luka Looking Good
Doncic has a lot to prove next season.
Yes, he just had a great year with his Mavs but they need to do it all again in order to really prove their worth.
Luckily, Dallas has added some more talent to the roster, including JaVale McGee and Christian Wood.
Those two might be just what the Mavs have been missing: front-court superstars who can space the floor and play off of Donic.
Plus, if Doncic is in better shape than ever he won’t have to work off his summer weight as the season starts.
He will be playing at his peak from day one and that’s great news for the Mavericks – and bad news for the rest of the Western Conference.
