Anze Macek, the kinesiologist who has been working with Doncic for the past two years, gave some insight about the regime change the Slovenian wunderkind took this offseason. “Shortly after the end of the season, he contacted me and said that he wanted to start fitness training immediately. Together with Goran Dragic, they worked for three weeks,” Macek said to SportKlub Slovenija. “The national team action followed. When he went on vacation, he asked me for a work plan.”

ā€œHe remains active,ā€ he said. ā€œI am in …

“He remains active,” he said. “I am in contact with him almost on a daily basis. He keeps his shape. He will improve everything during the national team practices where he will prepare with maximum effort.” The comments about his body have no real impact on Luka, Macek says. On the contrary, they drive him forward, the Slovenian team fitness coach is certain.

ā€œLuka is a global star. In plain sight. …

“Luka is a global star. In plain sight. People follow him every step of the way, as far as possible. Therefore, evil tongues also appear very quickly. Maybe they are trying to get to him by commenting on each photo. But that’s really not a good way,” Macek explained. “He always has an answer. This only further motivates him and drives him forward.”

Goran Dragic to play for Slovenia in EuroBasket

Dragic, Slovenia look to reclaim the EuroBasket trophy after winning in 2017.

And while he is eager to win big, he compared the quest of two-time European champion Greece to win big with the way theĀ BucksĀ got their NBA title. ā€œJudging from yesterdayā€™s practice, we are not yet ready for a medal, but we have our chancesā€, said Giannis while talking to the media on the media day of the Greek national team.Ā  ā€œIt doesnā€™t matter what the world expects, itā€™s what the team expects. In all the competitions Iā€™ve been to with Greece, we didnā€™t even reach the quarterfinals. Weā€™re not ready for medals or cups. We need to create chemistry and the right atmosphere. Letā€™s go and do our best. I have realistic goals, I need to get better. We have three weeks to bond. I will adapt to what the national team needs from me and not the opposite. Our coach (Dimitris Itoudis) is doing an amazing job and we have to do the best we canā€.
