Luka Dončić can learn a lot from how LeBron James rests during games

Luka Donu010diu0107 has carried an immense workload up until now in his NBA career. He played an average of 36 minutes per game this season, and has often had the sole responsibility for the Dallas Mavericks offense, having to score 30, 40 and even 50 points to secure wins.

This seems unsustainable, and it is. Luka Donu010diu0107 came into this season in great shape, but ended up getting injured, in part because of the workload.

But there is another player in the NBA who often plays more minutes (he averages 38 minutes), is older and is known to carry his team - and who has perfected his diet, physicality and habits to play longer and more efficiently than most.
