In case you missed it, there was an endearing moment between Luka Doncic and Paul George at the end of Game 7 of the Mavs-Clippers first-round series. The pair exchanged pleasantries on the court after what was a truly epic battle between their respective teams. Oddly enough, however, Doncic appeared to have rejected Paul George's offer for a customary jersey swap. Luka did accept George's jersey, but he did not remove his jersey off his back to hand it over to the Clippers star.
In a hilarious theory posted by @pardonmytake on TikTok, Luka's perceived snub on PG supposedly had a lot to do with the physique of the Mavs superstar:
@pardonmytake Big time “T-Shirt on at the pool” vibes from Luka here #NBA #Playoffs #Mavs #Clippers #Luka #PaulGeorge
Luka Doncic isn't exactly the fittest NBA player out there, and this theory actually makes a lot of sense. The 22-year-old stud may have been feeling a bit self-conscious about his physique and did not want to bust it out in front of the millions of fans who were going to set eyes on the clip. Apparently, Doncic did not have an undershirt on as well.
It will actually be interesting to see if this is one particular facet of his game that he starts working on. As it is, Doncic is already one of the best players in the NBA. It's hard not to wonder what type of impact–if any–it would have on his game if the Mavs star decided to shed off some of his baby fat. Then again, could you really imagine a muscular Luka Doncic?
