Luka Doncic went back to his first professional home this weekend and showed the basketball world that he’s on a mission to win his first ever NBA championship.
Going into his 8th season in the best basketball league in the world, the Los Angeles Lakers guard has the opportunity to earn his first Larry O’Brien Trophy alongside one of the best players of all times in LeBron James.
Luka Doncic looks in incredible shape as he makes a special visit to Real Madrid
The Showtime Lakers made an early exit during the 2025 NBA playoffs after getting beat by an inspired Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, eliminating the Los Angeles team in five games. Luka had a hard time defending opponents, with some analysts saying that he needed to get in better physical shape.
Luka Doncic looks in incredible shape
Game Recap: Liberty @ Fever (5/24/25)
Real Madrid had a VIP spectator in their match against Coviran Granada in the penultimate round of the Regular League. Luka Doncic, a legend with the team, watched the game in the front row of the Movistar Arena alongside club president, Florentino Pérez.
The Slovenian superstar received a standing ovation from the fans before the start of the game. Perez gave Doncic a pair of jerseys as a souvenir: one with his surname and the other with his daughter’s name. But what impressed basketball fans around the world was the fact that Luka looked in great shape.
And social media users had some comments about Luka Doncic’s physical condition. “You can tell how much his face has slimmed down. He going crazy this year,” an X user wrote. “He just eliminated foods that cause inflammation. Inflammation could make him look twice as big without actual weight,” somebody else added. “Not the first time he’s been in his best shape in the offseason,” another person added.
“Luka Magic” wants to pull a major trick
Luka Doncic, nicknamed “Luka Magic“, stands as a prime example of the reservoir of talent Europe has often contributed to the NBA. Transcending geographical boundaries, his journey from the heart of Slovenia to the grand stage of American basketball has made him one of Europe’s premier NBA exports.
Born on Slovenia, Luka started basketball under the mentorship of his father, Sasa Doncic, a former professional basketball player and coach. He quickly gained national fame, dominating youth leagues in Slovenia, and piqued the interest of European powerhouse Real Madrid.
At 15, the young phenom was already training with the first team and made his professional debut at 16, becoming the youngest debutant in Real Madrid’s illustrious history. During his five-year tenure in Spain, Doncic helped Real Madrid win three league titles, two Copas del Rey, the Euroleague championship, and the prestigious Intercontinental Cup.

Patnáctá výhra v Paříži v řadě! Nebojácná Tereza zvládla taneček přes francouzské peklo
Paříž (od našeho zpravodaje) - Město zaslíbené. V součtu s loňským juniorským grandslamem, kde ovládla singl i debl, vyhrála tenistka Sparty na antukových kurtech French Open v Paříži celkem 15 utkání v řadě! Letos do sbírky přidala tři kvalifikační zápasy a navrch ubojovanou první rundu.„Hustý. To se mi líbí. Asi je osud, že jsem v Paříži loni vyhrála juniorky a letos je to můj první dospělý grandslam. To je takové hezké,“ hlásila vítězka, které ale při zápase moc do zpěvu nebylo.„Byla jsem trošku mimo. Celý zápas jsem cítila, že mě divně bolí břicho. I koučovi prý bylo hrozně. Jen tátovi ne, ten prý byl v klidu. Hrát v takovém prostředí nebylo vůbec příjemné. Hodně na hlavu i na nervy, takže mi z toho asi pracoval i žaludek.“Jak už říkal dvojnásobný vítěz French Open Jan Kodeš: „Nastoupit ve Francii proti domácím hráčům je vždycky veliké utrpení.“ Valentová se ale držela statečně, nešťastný scénář si odmítala připustit, […]
Rousek končí v zámoří a míří do Evropy
Šestadvacetiletý Rousek po odchodu do USA ze Sparty odehrál v NHL sedmnáct zápasů, většinou působil v AHL ve farmářském Rochesteru. V minulé sezoně byl Rousek třetím nejproduktivnějším hráčem týmu, v 79 zápasech včetně play off nasbíral 50 bodů včetně devíti gólů. V NHL má ze 17 startů bilanci 1+3.Ve švédském klubu z Jönköpingu podepsal smlouvu na dva roky. „Švédská liga má vysokou úroveň a vím, že Jönköping je hokejem poblázněné město. Bude to zábava a velká výzva,“ řekl. V celku HV 71 v minulé sezoně působil jiný český útočník Radan Lenc, ale rozhodl se vrátit do Liberce.
