Extra on this storyline
Q: So, clearly, I must ask about Luka Doncic. He already was an excellent participant, however he took a variety of steps this offseason by hiring trainers and a chef, watching his food plan and coaching. He’s gotten higher with technical fouls and the referees. What do you suppose obtained into him? Nico HARRISON: “Luka’s so smart. You know how smart he is by watching him play basketball. I think he just made up his mind that he wants to be the best version of himself. So he’s taken the necessary steps by having a body team and really dedicating himself to that. You’re seeing it on the floor. And then you add health to that. You add the combination of Kyrie playing at a high level. And being surrounded by great role players to add to what they do, and he’s happy to do. So I think that makes a great recipe for success.” -via Dallas Morning News / April 11, 2024
Dirk Nowitzki: The good thing is here that Mark doesn’t know anything about basketball so he doesn’t know what he’s watching so.. I’m kidding, I’m kidding, Mark’s my guy, yeah… Honestly, I mean, I got to say he’s spot on, I imply what Luka is doing from from not solely scoring himself, he’s main the league in scoring, however the passing, the all-around recreation, the rebounding, I believe final 12 months averaged a triple-double for a whole month, I imply the stuff that he’s doing, I used to be by no means able to doing it. Actually I used to be a scorer after which subsequent I used to be a scorer after which I might rating and the remaining was type of like I rebounded a bit I helped on protection a bit I used to be a horrible passer, the child has a method higher package deal than I ever had. -via YouTube / April 11, 2024
