But we need him to be in amazing shape from beginning to end (not gain weight during the season). Giving up alcohol and drinking during the season imo is a must.
Completely agree with this.
Luka learning how to take care of himself could be the difference between (1) Luka being the best player in the league for a few years and getting a couple of shots at a title, or (2) Luka proving to be in the MJ, LeBron category, in the GOAT conversation because he dominated the league and won multiple championships over a good long run, on top.
Is it just me, or has Dirk seemed more assertive lately? Maybe Dirk can get him on a Dirk like regimen. Ultimately, though, Luka has to want to take care of himself, and the fact that he can be possibly the best player in the league while doing a mediocre job with his fitness might be a deterrent from doing what it takes to be an all-time great.
