Luka Dončić says he will do a jersey swap with Naji Marshall in the locker room after a win against the Dallas Mavericks: “I don’t want to show my body.”
Most relatable comment by an athlete ever.
no, that was Hali saying fuck ice
Lebron calling the president a bum.
Did he? Must’ve missed that. That’s awesome!
Yep LeBron said this in response to Trump saying The Warriors weren’t invited to the White House (even though they already rejected the tradition because of him) :
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!
LeGoodMan
based tyrese
I mean he didn’t actually tweet that though
I think that person knows that
Fuck ICE
He said that guy was murdered not fuck ice.
luka took a poop on the israeli anthem
He didn’t.
Unlike many Americans, Luka is not anti-semitic.
Pretty sure he said a dude was murdered. I know it doesn’t seem different but it is— important to hold murderers accountable. That should be the first step. I know political stuff comes first to a lot of people but energy wise we should be going after the murderers and starting there.
ICE and murderer are synonyms.
#uever wake up n the middle of da night and think about a girl u like or startin to like and sit at da edge of the bed n say damn i want her
-KD my GOAT
Smart decision, otherwise the weirdos would make 100s of posts about it
The number of grown men who log onto Reddit and angrily call Luka fat on a near daily basis is pretty wild when you think about it.
Has the Laker fandom been mad at his lovehandles?
No one else has much reason to be angry at Luka being Luka.
There’s a portion of the fanbase who’s already turned on Luka so they’re constantly bringing up his weight
I would bet about 80% of those people are not actually fans of your team
Let me guess, the gatekeeper fans that think Kobe is the only player ever allowed to don the jersey?
Mostly LeBron fans that blame everyone else for bad results.
The other fanbase
Meanwhile most of them are either fat themselves or unhealthily thin
They are not grown and they are not Men.
Same type of people were calling smaller players like 5’11 Chris Paul a midget for decades lol.
We called them “fat keyboard warriors”
Niko has 30 alt accounts
While they sit at home eatting cheetos
The wild part is that Reddit is where the normal (comparatively) people are.
The truly fucked up folks are on Twitter (X, the everything app)
The majority of comments on this post has restored my faith in humanity
That’s genuinely sad an NBA player has to do that, I remember a reporter asked Zion what he was gonna do for Thanksgiving and he wouldn’t give her an answer because he knew people would clown him, Some people are legit assholes
Tbh my assumption was that he wasn’t wearing anything underneath the jersey, so he’d be topless if he were to take it off. Usually players have some sort of compression vest/tee underneath, and Luka usually wears a tee version but is notably missing it here, so that’s where my mind jumped.
The NBA media is actually very toxic, but it’s not controversial because they are toxic towards foreigners, not American players.
This narrative is fucking ridiculous and I have no idea where it came from. The media will go after fucking anybody for anything because it generates clicks and thus money. They give zero fucks about the country the player is from, only their popularity / infamy. It just so happens that foreign players are popular now.
Do you think the media wasn’t toxic against KD? Miami Lebron? Lakers Russ? I swear to god people are just parroting this bullshit and have a memory comparable to that of a fucking goldfish.
Yeah especially considering the orignal comment specifically mentions Zion, an American player, being on the recieving end of a “toxic” reporter question.
But they blew right past that and completely ignored the actual comment to say they treat only foreign players badly. It would actually be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.
Yeah, especially towards foreigners like Zion Williamson!
Idk seems like jokic doesn’t get a ton of hate and players like Tatum do. You could be right I just feel like it seems pretty random the players that get dogpiled on sometimes
Tatum just got lucky. Zion is the poster child for body related hate, and KAT, Jimmy, etc are the go to for effort related hate. All of whom are American.
Replying to a comment about Zion Williamson by talking about how the media is only toxic to foreign players is hilarious
I think mainstream NBA media figured out toxicity sells, so they went in that direction. Now everyone is doing it.
Just look at the most popular NBA analysts. Shaq, Barkley, Stephen A, Perkins… always pointing out the negative things, blaming players, mocking them, creating drama…
You think the NBA media isn’t toxic towards Americans like LeBron? Lmfao
The NBA media is actually very toxic,
this sub will blame anyone but themselves. nothing the nba media says is ever worse than the comments you see here with hundreds of upvotes. absolutely nothing.
and the comments here do it about everyone, from superstars to role players to the media.
i never heard anyone in the nba media say that rachel nichols only got where she was by sleeping with players. never heard anyone in the nba media make n-word jokes about steve kerr’s son’s name.
but this sub will do it all, and then turn around and talk about how toxic the media are. fucking joke, can’t take this shit seriously.
Correct
I mean Luka was laughing about this. I’m pretty sure this was a tongue-in-cheek comment by him poking fun at Nico.
as sad as you think it is, $50m evens things out
what he was gonna do for Thanksgiving
Give thanks. Thanksgiving is for giving thanks
Zion is like the worst example you could use of “body-shaming” considering how much of an impact his terrible weight had on his career. Zion and his weight were quite literally his biggest downfall as a player and was no different to players getting called out on their efficiency stats.
Zion’s weight is arguably a top reason why he never really hit that peak everyone expected him to, he’s getting paid the big bucks and he consistently struggled to keep weight off during the off-season his entire career. He kinda deserved to be clowned considering he chose food over being a great NBA player. You pay the guy millions and he can’t choose to not each gravy at thanksgiving?
Luka on the other hand is a great NBA player even at his weight and it was a non-factor everytime people brought it up. His “poor conditioning” got him a scoring title and 6 all-stars. Zion has missed over 60% of his career games. Huge fucking difference
No Zion is not a bad example he shouldn’t be clowned because he was asked a question about Thanksgiving, See how fast you spun a narrative to help Luka and downplay Zion like he isn’t human with feelings? The assholes don’t give a fuck about all stars and all NBA because it surely doesn’t help Tatum, And what’s funny is Zion is at best condition and weight wise and still gets clowned which is ridiculous.
Makes sense
He doesn’t want to show his 8 pack abs in case Zion is watching this game, which would make Zion disappointed he can’t reach that physique
He can reach an 8 pack of strips tho
Maybe he doesn’t like his back tattoo anymore.
I get it, all the weird body shaming shit that went on with him I wouldn’t want to either
Or maybe he has a really bad tattoo.
Imagine if he’s rocking that Ed Norton tattoo from American History X
So no exposed nipple. Disappointing.
Pepperonis confirmed
Eraser nipples
This thread; body shaming is bad
Also this thread;
That’s for his NBA OF
Overwatch OF*
Luka doesn’t mix businesses
Patience
Losing weight doesn’t get rid of your body dysmorphia, speaking from experience. And in Luka’s case dozens of people will shame him, if they see a bad angle, calling him fat again.
Dozens? That’s precious.
It’s legitimately thousands, not even hundreds. It’s actually kinda crazy how much people criticize his body lol, like yeah he’s not as ripped as a lot of NBA players but still it’s not like he’s a blob of lard and not an athlete
I don’t get why it even matters. He’s the leading scorer in the league. Maybe other players need to gain some weight so they can score like Luka.
Understandable given the magnifying lens that’s on him about conditioning. Espn would have a months worth of articles from it
He’s just like me
Do you have 500 millions?
Hiding the 8 pack don’t wanna show off
“I hear Luka is shredded.”
Luka Doncheese
Luka be wearing shirts in the pool
“Doesn’t wanna get sunburned”
This got me dying
they’re bullying my pookie man
how’d he gain all that weight back so soon
I don’t think he ever really slimmed down just turned that fat he had into muscle he def was way fatter when he first got traded
Yup you can see muscle on him. He is just turning that fat to muscle.
Looks to me like he had some fat but through working out it turned to muscle
Every offseason people say Luka gets in the best shape of his life. Then by mid season people say he’s fat again.
I’d love to be as “fat” as this guy.
I’d love to be fat and still put up 30/10/10 a night lol
He looks fine to me but he’s also surround by super athletes so maybe by their standards he is out of shape.
Then he averages 34/9/9 again
Happens with Zion. Happened with Vladdy in baseball. Seems anyone that shouldnt have the weight on because it is their one job, always has people talking about how it is finally gone to start every year
Look at Patrick mahomes. Peak male physique
Its like Zion, I always see off season pics of him looking slim and then when the season starts its the usual Zion
Some of it is probably muscle because his 3pt shooting got affected.
tunnel-beers
Nico Harrison bots about to invade this thread
Understandable bro gets body shamed on the daily
Luka. Lights off. Shirt on. Socks on.
Eyes closed, dogs out.
Its business, its business tiiime
Because it’s Wednesday.
Honestly, this is because of all of you weirdos
Yeah like imagine if he had the online discourse would be insane
Sexy Luka don’t want to show off the goods.
The vibes with Luka and Dallas have been immaculate since Nico’s firing
Somewhere, Nico Harrison just slammed a drink into the table.
my stupid ass sounds read the title and wondered why luka would do a jersey swap with his own teammate then i realized.
i still am not used to this man as a laker
My body, my rules.
me_irl
He jus like me in the pool frfr
Couple hundred mill difference though
Honestly pretty sad. Ive always felt bad for players being blasted for their weight when they’re still in such a tiny top percentile of fitness. You cant tell me it doesnt effect them.
I get it
They should just do a shorts swap instead then
He’s too scared everyone will see the buzzer that lets him know if it’s a breaking ball will judge his new tattoo
nico: “i was damn right, that fat mf be havin issues i swear”
Bro scrolled through nbacirclejerk
He ain’t treating no one except his wife
Saying this in Dallas is crazy
No one in the comments accusing him of wearing a buzzer. interesting
Good for him
I wish he knew how hot he is 🧡
Stapled stomach.
lol, that shit eating grin
Plot twist: he’s saving his body for his OnlyFans.
Fat boy!!!! 😉
Nothing to do with insecurity. Luka got Yakuza tattoos lol
Coward smh
That’s so sad, Luka don’t be insecure you’re a skinny queen!
oh lardy
I was watching the game today and I honestly think he’s either put the weight back on, or didn’t really lose much to begin with. I could be wrong, but he looks exactly the same as he did last year to me.
If you saw the interview when he first got to LA he looks a good 15 pounds heavier there.
He looks better in anything you see where he’s not in a jersey tbh but no he def doesn’t look like he did last season lmao
He’s put some on since the beginning of this season but nothing crazy
Get your eyes checked.
Fraudka Bumcič knows he’s just a fat POS who can’t play defense and doesn’t do the little things because he’s obese. Sick of this scrub wish we still had Max goatie and Anthony day-to-goat on the squad along with Bronny that’s at least a 2-peat
