Luka Doncic played in Goran Dragic’s Farewell Match in “Night of the Dragon” The event took place yesterday and was a real success. It was the perfect opportunity to say goodbye to a player who contributed so much to the development of European players who followed in his footsteps.
The team Doncic captained had some incredible talent, including reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, but they managed to lose the exhibition game. I think Doncic wanted it that way so his long-time friend could walk away with a win.
Doncic is being critical online for a reason other than winning. Basketball fans were quick to point out that the Dallas Mavericks superstar guard looks out of shape.
It’s not fair to say Doncic is overweight during the offseason. He was doing something good by participating in a charity event, and basketball players often let their bodies get away from them a little bit during the offseason. They run around so much during the year that it’s easy for them to get back into shape.
Fans need to leave him alone and let him enjoy his time off. He just played in the NBA Finals and there is no doubt he will be ready for the regular season.
The Dallas Mavericks made some solid moves this offseason and are one of the teams to beat; this could be the year Doncic finally turns the corner and wins not only the MVP Award but also his first NBA title if all goes as planned.
