The NBA season just ended a few weeks ago and hype around the next season is already building up. This mainly happened after Lakers star Luka Dončić went through a drastic physical change and appeared on the front page of Men’s Health.
Seeing his dedication, many believe that Dončić is going to dominate the upcoming season and Colin Cowherd agrees. He feels that the Lakers forward is going to be the best
“Luca was not in good shape. He was puffy. He was injured in camp to begin with, with Dallas pre-trade. I think Luca is going to have his best year as a pro. I think Luca is going to average about 31 a game.” Cowherd boldly predicted.
“I think he’s in impeccable shape,” he continued. “And I think you’re going to see a real separation on most nights with Luca and LeBron. I think Luca is going to play like the best player in the league next year.”

“The Lakers, more than any organization in the history of North American sports, the Lakers always have a great face of the franchise,” Cowherd said. “Luka’s clearly the number one. LeBron’s clearly the number two, and he knows it.”
