Cuban was a guest on Sportsradio 96.7 The Ticket, on the show The Musers after the All-Star game where he discussed Luka Doncic and the star’s newfound discipline.
Cuban added that he has seen this from star athletes before, where a player suddenly has to consider making changes to their life. Especially when things don’t go according to what the player expects once they’re in the league.
Luka Doncic is averaging 35.4 points, 10.3 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game since the All-Star starters were announced. With 30/10/10 shooting splits, while shooting 43% from downtown on nearly 10 attempts per game. It is evident that he is on a mission this season and he took the All-Star starter snub personally.
He has dropped 12 double-doubles, seven triple-doubles, ten 30-point games, five 40-point games and one 51-point outing since returning from injury in January. The Dallas Mavericks are 18-6 in that span.
Mark Cuban suggests Luka Doncic knows what he is doing and the rest of the league should watch out
Mark Cuban is certain his talisman is on the right track. After a slow start to the season, Luka Doncic has picked up the pace and is showing extra dedication off the court. As mentioned above, he has had a lot of motivation of late to prove a lot of people wrong.
He is certainly heading towards being a Western Conference starter next season and is reportedly going to get in All-Star shape soon enough.
He has changed his training regimen, diet and lifestyle to accommodate for an intensive workout plan. Continuing on the 96.7 The Ticket radio show, Mark Cuban believes that once Doncic has everything figured out, he will be unstoppable.
The Dallas Mavericks are fifth in the Western Conference with a 35-24 record, ahead of the LA Lakers, LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets. They are 1.5 games behind the Utah Jazz and have a shot at entering the top four seeds down the stretch of the season.
Luka Doncic and the Mavericks take on the Jazz on the road for their first game after the mid-season break.
