He is not only the face of the Lakers, but he is becoming the face of the NBA!
He has gotten slimmer, made uncharacteristic multiple media appearances, and in fact has noticeably become more eloquent and charismatic during interviews. He has been accommodative for interviews in Dallas, but wasn’t an interesting subject since he was always mumbling and giving simple, short responses. He was always nice and respectful, but you can also sense that he was also not interested to do an interview too.
I think he now embraces the reality that he needs to be a superstar off-court, not just on-court, and have a global brand similar to Lebron and Steph.

It is just that Dallas wasn’t getting this media exposure and when Luka arrived in the NBA, his English wasn’t this great

LA is stupid , this man can’t play no defense at all. To win championships you have to be able to stop the other team. This is a big no for me.
