Steroids in the NBA

[QUOTE=TheGoatest;14485465]Yet for some reason you are accusing only LeBron, and not Durant, Curry, Jordan, Kobe, etc. I wonder why.

And your longevity-related argument is beyond idiotic considering that it has been scientifically proven that athletes who take steroids have an [I]increased[/I] risk of injury:

That's how you are understanding the message.

Not my fault you get hurt when it pertains to PEDron. :confusedshrug:

[QUOTE=hateraid;14485467]He doesn't have a clue on PEDs. Half the things out there athletes get busted for are low level bullshit that gets thrown out anyways. Athletes get tested. ESPECIALLY the current IOC in which all basketball players are subject to. IOC is unbias and does not care who you are.[/QUOTE]

You are proving my point actually.

Those getting busted are low level garbage.


And whos arguing they are not getting tested? Are you talking to yourself?
You keep arguing points I didn't make. Is that your style? :lol

[QUOTE=hateraid;14485463]Do you even know what saline solution is?

Look at this fool backed in a corner grabbing for straws. You're getting unravelled bud. Sit your ass down .[/QUOTE]

Just answer the question if youre so sure of yourself. Anything else is BS.

[QUOTE=Baller789;14485479]You said steroids. I said PEDS.

Are you retarded?[/QUOTE]

What are PEDs? You nitpicking here? Steroids are PEDs. Not all PEDs are steroids. Do you know the difference?
:lol
Lol, you are getting destroyed so you're grasping for anything

Ahh I get it. You're a Lebron hater. So of course you don't have any solid basis to your theories. Now you're just a babbling idiot.

[QUOTE][B]Did Bill Simmons Hint That LeBron James Took A Steroid Vacation?[/B]

Simmons met fan backlash when he floated the idea that LeBron wasn’t the “same player” early in the 2015 season. He responded as such:

“Like it was our fault that LeBron was playing below the rim for the first two months and the Cavs were a complete mess. I’m sorry for pointing that out everybody!”

After NBA beat writer Zach Lowe struggled to politely categorize LeBron’s two-week refresher vacation to Miami in January, Simmons pushed his stance once again:

Bill Simmons: Uh…I have a couple titles for that but I’m not gonna say.

Zach Lowe: I’m not going anywhere near where you’re going.

Bill Simmons: I’m not going anywhere either!

He later elaborated, saying:

[B]“LeBron James…looked like he was entering another phase of his career. He’s got a lot of miles on him. Looked different in how he was playing. Went away for two weeks, came back. He’s been lights out. [He] basically has been at 29 [points] a game, 6 [assists] and 6 [rebounds]. Fifty percent shooting. He looks like LeBron again.”[/B][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE][B]Here's the story behind the 2-week break that turned LeBron James' season around[/B]

Windhorst says that late in 2014, James had been moody and his body wasn't 100%. After suddenly deciding not to play in a game against the Hawks, the Cavs gave him take two weeks off to rest, from which he returned healthy and in a better mood, seemingly revitalized by some midseason trades.

[B]"[James] had sort of just like waved a bit of a white flag there. He just didn't feel like playing. He had never done that ever before. He had always just played through it. And so it was after that game, [the Cavaliers] said, 'Alright, take your two weeks off,' because he had reached a very low point."

Nobody is quite sure why James' two-week break turned around his season. He does seem healthier and more explosive.[/B] If it was just fatigue and simple aches that he was dealing with, then two weeks may have been enough to revitalize him.[/QUOTE]

[quote]Simmons: Naive To Think NBA Has No Players On PEDs

During a podcast on Monday, ESPN NBA analyst Bill Simmons suggested that the lessons from baseball's performance enhancing drug problems of the past two decades need to be studied by those involved in basketball.

"The retroactive thing is really funny to me," said Simmons. "It does seem like there is this weird residual guilt, especially with the writers: 'We didn't know. I should have known. How did we not know?'

"Why aren't we asking that now with the other sports? What about basketball? Go on YouTube and watch a basketball game from 1977 and see what the guys look like. You really think there are no PED guys in the NBA right now? You've got to be kidding me.

"It's just funny to me. If we end up repeating this whole cycle with the NBA. Everybody is going to be like, 'How did we not know?' It's the same thing we were going through with baseball in the late nineties."
