NBA Rumor: Luka Doncic Conditioning
6 rumors in this storyline

Dallas Mavericks governor Mark Cuban credited Luka Doncic’s recent dominance, in part, to the 22-year-old superstar’s reaction to criticism regarding his conditioning early in the season. “I think he was humbled a little bit,” Cuban said Tuesday during an appearance on 1310 The Ticket in Dallas. “I think 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 level, where things are just easy and you’re always used to being the best and you’re always used to getting all the accolades. Then when something doesn’t go according to expected, it makes you reconsider.”
