HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

So what's the working theory for Luka's weight gain and how to address it? 

Too many calories? Wrong kind of calories? Too much cerveza? Does Cuban need to hire a nutritionist?

Needs more workout time? More weight room time?

Is this something addressable during the season with 3-4 games per week?

I can tell you from experience it is better to not take in the calories rather than have to work them off later.

As long as he plays as he does, to me that's the only that matters. How he looks, I don't pay attention to. Last years MVP was also fat and also doesnt play with pace, but with skill. The extra strength has its advantages. This is the best Luka I have seen, and he can bully defenders much more now and needs constant double team in the post up situations. I hope people notice this. Luka anyway doesnt play with pace, and on purpose slows down plays. As does Jokic. The extra strength is better payed of than some extra increase in straight line pace. People call it fat, what I see is more strength.

If the team was converting open looks better, this would be easy his best season statistically, he would have 10+ average assists.
