Doncic: I have no specific external factors to lose weight. Sometimes athletes need to relax.

Today, Lakers defender Doncic accepted an exclusive interview with Complex.

Speaking of his offseason weight loss attempt, Doncic said: "I just tried something new, and like I said, I made a plan with my team. So we were just trying something new. The hardest part, I don't know what to say. There are a little challenges in all aspects, but at the end of the day, I love basketball, so I want to play basketball."

In this interview, when asked what made him better, Doncic made it clear that the noise from the outside, including those about "Hooked Doncic" had not affected him.

"Just to be the best self, there is no specific outside factor. Obviously, athletes also need to relax sometimes. You can't just work every day," Doncic said.
