DallasHoopsJournal.com<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s quicker and more explosive. He\u2019s getting by people more easily. I think he\u2019s on a mission, man.\u201d<\/p>\nThe scout think that Doncic\u2019s mission is to win the league MVP award this coming season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s going to win MVP and the scoring title next season,\u201d the scout said. \u201cHe wants to get revenge on Dallas for basically fat-shaming him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old has reportedly dropped significant weight after adopting a gluten-free, low-sugar diet and intermittent fasting plan, according to Men\u2019s Health.<\/p>\n
The approach is designed to cut inflammation and improve recovery, and the results are certainly showing.<\/p>\n
Doncic finished with 19 points and five assists in just 24 minutes against Germany, but the buzz was more about his improved speed and conditioning.<\/p>\n
The timing couldn\u2019t be better for the Lakers, who traded for him in February after Mavericks GM Nico Harrison\u2019s reported concerns over his diet, weight, work ethic, and conditioning.<\/p>\n
Now, the focus has shifted. Doncic signed a three-year, $165 million extension with Los Angeles on August 2 and is set on delivering a championship. He still managed 30.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 5.8 assists in last year\u2019s playoffs while being, by his own admission, out of shape.<\/p>\n
If those were his numbers before the transformation, Lakers fans may be in for something special when the new season tips off.<\/p>\n
