Magic Johnson Reacts to Luka Doncic’s Shocking Physical Transformation

Luka Doncic's Dramatic Transformation: "He's Showing It" - Magic Johnson

A New Era for the Laker Star

Luka Doncic, despite his undeniable talent and ability to win when it matters most, has often faced criticism about his physical conditioning.

This past season, as he joined the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster mid-season trade from the Dallas Mavericks, the scrutiny reached new heights. However, Doncic seems to have taken the critiques personally, undergoing a dramatic body transformation this offseason that has become one of the biggest storylines in basketball.

Extreme Measures for Championship Glory

His regimen includes two-a-day workouts, 16-hour fasts, an impressive 250 grams of protein per day, and a strict gluten-free, low-sugar diet. This commitment landed him on the cover of "Men's Health," where he detailed his new approach.

Even Lakers legend Magic Johnson took notice, reacting to Doncic's new physique with praise.

"I love how Luka is showing his Laker teammates how serious he is about winning a championship in Los Angeles by transforming his body!"

Johnson later clarified: “What I meant to say was: I love what I’m seeing from @luka7doncic right now. When a guy comes to LA and totally transforms his body, you know he’s not just talking about winning—he’s showing it. That’s how you set the tone in the locker room and let your teammates know it’s time to chase a championship together!”

A Long-Term Future in Purple and Gold?

Doncic's dedication extends beyond training as he returns to the United States before joining the Slovenian national team for EuroBasket 2025. With optimism growing that he will sign a long-term extension with the Lakers, Doncic appears poised to become the face of the franchise for years to come.
