Steroids in the NBA

[plowking]

Corey Maggette is another guy who has some ridiculously huge arms.

Its pretty obvious Wade is juicing. No surprise there....

Wade isn't nearly as cut as a lot of players.

Don't be mad because he had one of the best individual seasons. It's not all about Lebron.

[ronnymac]

Anthony Mason and Maybe charles oakley were on it. heck half of the knicks squad was on it in those days.

NBA players do not use steroids. Lot's of them are ripped because they've been in great shape their whole lives, and they are put through routines designed specifically for them by professional trainers.

I'm sure that they all consume some type of supplements, but non would be considered steroids or banned substances.

He's a good ol country farmboy.

He spent his offseasons tossing around bails of hay.

^^ Is Allen thinking of going into bodybuilding or something?

Allen is very cut and has lean muscle, he is far from bulked up. He would be one of the last people I suspect of taking roids.

steroids dont automatically mean you get big. like someone else mentioned a lot of times they are used to help people recover faster since the only thing steroids actually do is help muscle rebuild faster so you can workout a lot more

^Not possible without 'roids.

And yet.....

LOL

People are posting up DH12 picture from when he was 17 years old.

This was when he was in HighSchool, probably never lifted weights (if he did he probably didnt know what the fukc he was doing) and never dieted or ate correctly.

Then he gets in the NBA, has a world class trainer with a word class weight room, has all the food he could ever want.

Obviously the guy is gonna be huge.


I seriously doubt more then 3% of the league uses steriods in the off-season.

I would say though, that during season, they are using some kind of supplement that may or may not be legal to help them recover faster

[BrentISballin]

You guys are crazy, just because guys are in shape and muscular they are on roids? Like the guy above me said, they basically live with world class trainers and eat whatever they want. Eating and lifting will bulk you up FAST

[GiveItToBurrito]

Wade is on it...he ain't fooling nobody...

Based solely on annectdotal evidence, I wouldn't be surprised. He came back from injuries a lot better than he's ever been, and he just seems way too strong and fast for someone of his size. At the same time, he might be just that good.

The thing that concerns me about the NBA and steroids is that it's the league that would be the most likely to cover it up. More so than with any other sport, the NBA's based on individual players and their personalities; it's the only major sport where you can see the players entire heads, and there seem to be more endorsement deals for NBA players than any other sport. Add in the fact that there are already a lot of theories that the league is closer to pro wrestling than the NFL, and it wouldn't be shocking to hear that the league was covering up or intentionally ignorant of players using steroids.

[Lakas Fan Yo]

Of course some NBA players are using steroids. Only the most naive people around would doubt that.

[inclinerator]

This could be because they build lean muscle. Alex Rodriguez has done this and so has many other athletes. I do agree with you that LeBron isn't muscle bound like someone like the likes of Ben Wallace. He's just overall better distributing his muscles form his legs to his shoulders, Wallace has a lot skinner legs than LeBron.

old picture on the abc pregame it showed lebron recently and he is way more ripped and bulkier
