Derrick Rose says PED's a big problem in NBA
In the May 16th issue of ESPN the Magazine, Derrick Rose was asked:
"On a scale of 1 to 10, how big of an issue is illegal enhancing in the NBA?"
Derrick Rose: " Seven. It's huge and I think we need a level playing field where nobody has that advantage over the next person."

I think he was more saying that PED's themselves are a problem, rather than PED use in the NBA is problem. I could be wrong though.

If Dirk is on steroids, then he is doing it wrong.

Re: Derrick Rose says PED's a big problem in NBA
I could see it. Look at some of these big maf's. LeBron, Dwight, Lamar Odom, etc. Some of these guys are huge, and LeBron is to big to be real imo.
Re: Derrick Rose says PED's a big problem in NBA
We all thought it was hilarious how Rashard Lewis had used steroids too, and yet he completely fell off after he stopped using.

Some people are just built that way. I doubt any of the three you mention do 'roids. I do think LeBron and probably Dwight take creatine, though. That would explain the appearance of gaining/losing weight.
And if anyone's taking 'roids, it's Wade. I remember thinking "what the hell" when I saw him bulked up during the Olympic games. But again, it could just be a product of having special genes, world class trainers, etc.

Not sure how much steroids can help a basketball player. you can't enhance cardio by using them. Stretch is great but can throw your shot off. Being bulky doesn't exaclt give a person shooting touch, just look at lebron
Makes me think he does take roids.

They would help tremendously. They help with explosion. They improve your recovery. If the negatives weren't so devastating I'm sure more people would use them.
LeBron's an interesting case. He's clearly a step or two slower this season. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about steroids to determine whether that could be attributed to steroid use or not.
