Luka Doncic's undeniable energy at EuroBasket proves NBA is in trouble

Luka Doncic had his first televised game of basketball since headlines flooded about his remarkable body transformation in Slovenia's tune-up match against Germany ahead of EuroBasket 2025. The version of Doncic that was on that court should have the Los Angeles Lakers watering at the mouth.

Not only was the patented brand of Luka magic on display with the production itself. So was the killer mentality that fans have grown to love over the years.

Doncic was firing from deep with comfort, hitting circus layups, diming up his teammates, and looking very fluid with a lot of his on-court motions.
