Luka Doncic doesn’t look to be messing around.
The Los Angeles Lakers star has been turning heads this offseason for what he has been up to away from the court.

Doncic recently posted a video to Instagram of himself on a squat machine, loaded with 45-pound plates.
16 of them to be exact.
That would be 720lbs total.
And Doncic looked to be repping them with ease.
It’s a great sign for Doncic, the Lakers, and the entire purple and gold fanbase.
The 26-year-old looks to be taking his conditioning seriously for the first time in a while.
It was no secret that Doncic arrived in Los Angeles in February not in playing shape.
And it showed on the court, especially in the playoffs, when the Minnesota Timberwolves easily dispatched of Doncic, LeBron James and the Lakers in five games.
Doncic looked slow and lethargic the entire series, laboring up and down the court.
Doncic was not in shape last seasonGetty INSTAGRAM/@LUKADONCICDoncic looks to be taking his offseason conditioning very serious[/caption] X/@RMBaloncestoDoncic looks to have already got himself back into shape[/caption]He seems to be putting that narrative behind him.
It started before the most recent IG video, at the end of May, when Doncic attended a Real Madrid and looked noticeably thinner than he was when the Lakers season ended just weeks prior.
Of course it could all just be flattering angles and photos and videos taken at just the right time.
But why not believe Doncic listened to what head coach JJ Redick had to say when the Lakers were embarrassingly eliminated.
Redick not so subtly hinted that his star needed to get into shape this offseason.
“I’ll start with the offseason and the work that’s required in an offseason to be in championship shape and we have a ways to go as a roster,” Redick said at his end-of-the-season press conference.

“And certainly there were individuals that were in phenomenal shape. There’s certainly other ones that could have been in better shape.
“It’s where my mind goes immediately is we have to get in championship shape.”
Doncic looks well on his way to championship shape.
And that should have Lakers fans dreaming of the Larry O’Brien if their Slovenian supernova is able to keep the weight off.
After all, the sky is the limit when Doncic is in shape.
