It seems that everyone is talking about Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers.
A few days ago, Men’s Health released an issue with new photos of Doncic, and the Lakers star was looking in shape and very ready for the new season.
He has clearly spent a lot of time working on his body, and it shows.
Since then, people have discussed what this change means for Doncic in 2025-26.
Speaking on his show, Nick Wright stated that this development is great news for the Lakers and bad news for the rest of the league.
“Luka in non-tip top physical condition was already well on his way to being one of the greatest players… Luka like this should be the early favorite for league MVP,” Wright said.

There is no doubt that Doncic looks in terrific shape.
This comes after months of rumors about why the Dallas Mavericks said goodbye to him.
Reportedly, Dallas GM Nico Harrison wasn’t happy with the way that Doncic treats his body and feels he doesn’t put enough emphasis on being slim and healthy.
Doncic obviously heard those complaints about him and took them seriously.
If Doncic stays in this condition, it’ll help with his speed, stamina, and overall health in the new season.
He has already been a superstar in so many ways, but he could reach another level.
However, it’s important to note that we have been here before, and there have been previous offseasons when it looked like Doncic was taking care of his body in new ways, only for him to slip back into bad habits and slowly revert to his old ways.
Yet, it seems like something has clicked in Doncic, and he really wants to stay in this condition for the foreseeable future.
If he does, will the MVP trophy be his?
