Luka Doncic new physique has gone viral, especially after new photos showed the Los Angeles Lakers superstar absolutely shredded after his stunning weight loss. The 26-year-old had words for his former team the Dallas Mavericks after his stunning Men’s Health magazine cover shoot.

The 26-year-old Doncic was traded to the Lakers from the Mavericks on February 2 in a three-team deal that shook up the entire league. Doncic was paired up with LeBron James, but the Lakers failed to make it out of the first round and Doncic looked absolutely gassed.

Much has been made of Doncic’s offseason partying ways and how it was likely a factor in Mavs GM Nico Harrison pulling the trigger on a trade. There was this viral scene where he had his beer taken away after the team advanced to the NBA Finals.

When asked about his new jarring photos and about his former team, Doncic responded, “They probably saw it. Now I don’t have to worry about that.”

The Mavericks are clearly just somebody Doncic used to know now.

Luka was listed at 230 pounds last season and still averaged 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game.

The rest of the league should be terrified.
