Men's Health documented Luka Doncic's remarkable body transformation, providing in-depth details of his offseason training program.

Redick didn’t use any names, but it was widely interpreted as a message for Luka Doncic, whom the Dallas Mavericks traded to the Lakers at the deadline amid concerns about his conditioning.

Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison cited Doncic’s conditioning and defensive effort as key reasons behind the move, with the Lakers giving up a surprisingly modest haul for the Mavericks’ former franchise cornerstone.

While much of Doncic’s work this offseason can be credited to him wanting to silence the naysayers, it is also coming before he is expected to sign a monster contract extension with the Lakers. As confirmed by ESPN’s Bobby Marks, Doncic is in line for a four years and $229 million extension.

Nothing motivates the greats quite like the quest to prove someone wrong. When the Dallas Mavericks shocked the NBA by trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers, it was followed up by spin out of Dallas about GM Nico Harrison and the franchise’s concerns about Doncic’s lack of commitment to conditioning, taking care of his body and defense.

Doncic's fitness, along with who was to blame for his perceived lack of it, has been a major story since the blockbuster trade that sent him to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Inside the magazine, Doncic gave an exclusive interview to Andrew Heffernan and Ebenezer Samuel about the crazy offseason body transformation he's undergone over the last several months, in which he reveals how he's shed some serious pounds to get in arguably the best shape of his basketball career.
