40 Points Dont Matter: Expert Urges Doncic to Improve Defensive Skills

The legendary American basketball player and now commentator, Robert Horry, has criticized one of the leaders of the Los Angeles Lakers, Luka Dončić.

«I don’t care about his weight. You need to take him to the gym and teach him how to play defense. That’s the issue because you can score 40 points, but if you give up 35 on the other end, those 40 points mean nothing,» Horry stated, as reported by DPShow.

Dončić joined the Lakers in a trade for Anthony Davis on February 2, 2025.

It’s worth noting that the Lakers may offer Dončić a contract extension, and rumors suggest it could be a four-year deal worth $229 million, which he can accept starting August 2nd.
