Luka Doncic has been letting loose this offseason.
On Saturday night, Goran Dragic played his farewell basketball game in Slovenia with Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, and other NBA ballers in attendance.
Before the game, fans noticed that Luka had gained some weight during the offseason and looked more like Jokic.

Despite Luka looking like a giant, the Lakers are reportedly making a push to make him the face of the franchise after LeBron James retires.

“I’ve reported on this podcast and on The Ringer how they have their sights set for Luka [Dončić] in the future,” The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor said Friday during The Mismatch (0:50 mark). “We’ll see if that works out. Dallas just made a Finals, Dallas is looking better than ever with their supporting cast. That may not work out, but the Lakers by not trading their future picks clearly are still thinking long-term at this point. They’re not going all in like you might expect many teams to do with James.”
