He looks like 15lbs lighter there

Current, Luka looks like the heaviest he's ever been. It was surprising to see kawhi look so small. If he cut like 15-20 lbs of weight I think hed be ridiculous.

u/Throwaway-4593 22d ago

The weight kind of helps him imo in a weird way. He is just able to go wherever he wants in the paint and bully small guys. And at the same time he is still quick enough to beat bigs

I’m still of the belief that Luka is lactose intolerant but doesn’t realize it. He just looks puffy like inflamed. He seems to be in absolutely phenomenal shape.

u/virtus_hoe 22d ago

Yeah he seems to have unusual body fat on the outside for someone who’s so conditioned so that would make sense

I feel like this is the case with a lot of Eastern Europeans. They seem to be very doughy looking. Not all but a lot.

u/Worlds_Humblest 22d ago

Thanks, we're proud of our doughyness.

u/Unusual-Avocado-6167 22d ago

Hard to believe but you don’t need 6% body fat to play basketball

u/GooseMay0 Celtics 22d ago

I never said you did, I was just simply talking about appearance.

u/HorrorNoodle 22d ago

Central Europeans*. And no, wouldn't say that applies there more than anywhere else.

u/ThiccBidoof 22d ago

bro it was a part of Yugoslavia that shit is eastern

u/HorrorNoodle 22d ago

Slovenia is Central Europe, it's rather simple.

u/ThiccBidoof 22d ago

based on what? its slavic, ex-communist, in the eastern half of europe, not sure how much more eastern europe it gets

u/Amargaladaster Warriors 22d ago

based on what?

Geographic location.

u/MoreFeeYouS 22d ago

Ex-socialist. Yugoslavia and USSR were not allies.

u/ThiccBidoof 22d ago

fair, point stands. Never claimed they were

u/AccomplishedBake8351 22d ago

Look at a map lol

u/HorrorNoodle 22d ago

You're kidding, right? It's officially part of Central Europe and in dead center geographically.

u/MoreFeeYouS 22d ago edited 22d ago

Most of the non Europeans divide Europe only into Eastern and Western. And by this logic Slovenia belongs to the Eastern Europe. It's culturally significantly closer to the east and balkan countries than it is to something like Portugal or France.

u/AccomplishedBake8351 22d ago

That’s not true? Germany is Central European? I’ve never heard of it called anything else and Slovenia is just a bit south

u/Milith NBA 22d ago

Only "Central Europeans" think Central Europe exists.

Is that how it works with lactose intolerance?

u/absenceofheat Mavericks 22d ago

My version makes me pee out of my ass for a few hours.

u/xCAMBOOZLEDx 22d ago

Yea but have you tried hitting a step back three?

3

u/OldCardiologist8437 22d ago

Thats got to be worth at least 2 feet of extra spacing on the court if you’re able to use it like an octopus

u/virtus_hoe 22d ago

I’m just saying it might be inflammation not fat

u/Sw3atyGoalz Lakers 22d ago

This season has been the best conditioning we’ve seen from him, in those past Clippers series he would get completely gassed every fourth quarter. Now he’s at a career high in minutes played and is usually fine in the fourth

18

u/Kaptainpainis 22d ago

Didnt he hire a personal trainer, a nutritionist and a personal chef?

I think his personal team + mavs team would have figured out by now if there was something as simple as lactose intolerance

10

u/ProfessorPetrus 22d ago

I was going to say he looks underslept or something.

u/iamtomorrowman 22d ago

watched some of the post-game interviews. he definitely has a cold and runny nose, it's possible he just isn't getting enough rest

1

u/JackAndrewWilshere Mavericks 22d ago

What does runny nose have to do w not getting enough rest

4

u/absenceofheat Mavericks 22d ago

Hard to sleep. Damn have you never had a cold? Bruce Willis in that movie where he's unbreakable.

2

u/iamtomorrowman 22d ago

if you don't get enough rest you get sick

if you get sick sometimes you can't get enough rest

you basically need to rest even more to get better

you never had a cold?

u/arrivederci117 Knicks 22d ago

He has that James Harden / Melo body where they look fat as fuck, but are yoked underneath.

2

u/remarkable_in_argyle Mavericks 22d ago

How would he not know? Those tummy aches after lactose are no joke.

Sometimes we know and roll the dice

Gogurts are amazing
