I predicted when athletes start to realize, that everything I put into this temple [body] affects how I perform, now all of a sudden you start to look at life; you start to look at your diet differently.

“Now Luka, is gonna be training. You see videos of him actually training now. So, based on that – do not be surprised if he balls the way he balled last year, in the playoffs in particular.”
