The Los Angeles Lakers finally got a glimpse of Luka Doncic’s talents.

The former Dallas Mavericks star just had his best game as a Laker after a somewhat slow start to his tenure in Southern California.

He was more aggressive and more involved in the flow of the game.

With that in mind, former Golden State Warriors GM Bob Myers shared what he’s heard about Doncic from within the Lakers organization.

Talking on ESPN, he claimed that the Mavericks thought Doncic didn’t work hard, but that hasn’t been the case since he arrived in the City of Angels:

“A lot of the conversation out of Dallas when he got moved was he didn’t work hard. That’s not what I’m hearing from talking to them. He’s putting all the work in,” he said.

Doncic’s eating and workout habits and work ethic have been doubted multiple times in the past.

That’s why fans and analysts believe he can benefit strongly from his new partnership with LeBron James, who famously spends $1 million a year on his body and has always made sure to stay in top shape.

Doncic is just 25 years old; he hasn’t even entered his physical prime yet.

He has more than enough time to develop strong habits and stay atop of his game for years to come, and if that happens, the rest of the league will be in a lot of trouble.

The Lakers surely hope that Doncic becomes the face of the franchise for the post-LeBron James era.

He needs to say healthy for that to be the case, and one could think of fewer better mentors for that than LeBron.

The Mavs might end up regretting this move sooner than expected.
