“He Needs to Lose Weight”: NBA Fans Rip Apart Luka Doncic for “Stress Eating” as Jalen Brunson Videos Resurfaces

At an individual level, the Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic has been having the best season in his career. However, as things stand now, Doncic’s incredible feats have not contributed much to the Dallas side. In the West, the Mavericks are currently the 11th seed and they are waiting for some miracle to render them a play-in spot. The 4x- NBA All-Star has been facing flak for his defensive shortcomings and even for his fitness. Now, the fans also did not show any mercy to the Mavericks icon as fans came across an old video with Jalen Brunson.

It has only been days since former Boston Celtics center Kendrick Perkins vehemently called out Luka Doncic’s fitness. Recently, an old video of Luka Doncic conversing with his former partner-in-crime Brunson has resurfaced on the internet, prompting the NBA fans to taunt the Mavericks star for gaining weight.

The NBA World is growing skeptical of Luka Doncic

A few days back, Kendrick Perkins shook the hoops community by launching a tirade against Luka Doncic. Big Perk questioned Doncic’s leadership, body language, and defensive efforts. Adding insult to injury, the NBA veteran pointed out that the Mavericks centerpiece is physically unfit. However, the fans rushed to the Slovenian’s defense.

After leading the Mavs to the Western Conference Finals last season, a lot was expected from the team this year as well. With the addition of eight-time All-Star Kyrie Irving, those expectations rose. However, their performances have worsened as they now find themselves in an unwanted position heading into the postseason. Doncic has made a lot of fans in his young career so far, but his real test will start now.

After watching the video of Doncic with former teammate Brunson, the hoops community could not help but mock the 4x- NBA All-Star for his weight gain.

Having fun at Doncic’s cost

In an attempt to reminisce about the good old days, a Mavericks fan account tweeted the video featuring Doncic and JB. Fans, however, seem to have noticed Doncic’s weight gain only. A fan reshared the tweet and wrote, “Dude Luka is so fat now wtf.”?

“He needs to lose weight in the off-season and like a significant amount, kinda sad,”?another fan said.

Fans even went to the extent of saying that the Mavericks star has been stress-eating. “I think Luka started stress eating after we lost Brunson,”?a fan said.

“My boy been stress eating after losing every game, eventually it adds up,” another fan replied, taunting Luka Doncic’s fitness and the Mavericks’ lackluster campaign in one go.

Despite Luka Doncic’s stunning performances and the addition of Kyrie Irving to the side, the Mavericks seem to have fallen into a bottomless pit. Now, the throwback video has prompted the fans to not only belittle the 4x- NBA All-Star’s fitness but also highlight his shortcomings.

Fans could not help but use their creativity in a bizarre way.

Despite gaining weight, Luka Doncic has been putting in some great numbers. However, to silence the outcries, the European will have to up his defensive efforts and ensure that his contributions prove beneficial to the Dallas franchise.
