I wish Melo did Deer Antler

great, lets start passing them out to every knick player, if any of them can get close to 1/10 of lebron james good.. i will personally pay for all their steroid shots...

is weed performance enhancing? Bet more NBA dudes are on that then the juice. Getting juiced for a rec league? Really? I thought pitching on 5 ibuprofen was pushing it. Dude, you only get one life
Taking adrafanil before a rec league game is not juicing, it's harmless and it adds more fun to the game. We won 57-56 on Monday,

haha, don't tell that to my friend nate.. when we were young he was a beast after he hit that blunt.. I mean a beast!!!!
I am going to throw out there that if its in the NFL, MLB, Olympics, Golf, Cycling etc then it is no doubt in the NBA, NHL, Tennis and every sport where $$$ are on the line.
I have thought for a long time that Lebron and others are using something. It's not just genetics and better nutrition unless you count HGH and steroids as vitamins.
The only reason why I could believe LeBron is using and/or used steroids, is because there has never, ever, ever been a basketball player with his size, speed, athletic ability, strength etc, etc. Never once have we seen this type of combo. Never. Not Jordan. Not Magic. Not Kareem. Not anyone. Ever. Does it means he's clutch during the 4th? Does it mean he's the greatest of all shooters? No. But we've never seen this type of athletic freak of nature. Why is he the only one?

i agree that the possibility is very high, would also like to add D12 as well
i do think that he had stopped taking it sometimes not too long ago while he was in Orlando and up to his days now as a Laker
If you look at his body, even last year, he just wasn't the same player and that DOMINANT self with the rare size/strength/athleticism
it would not surprise me if Lebron used roids at a very young age and tricked the system like how Lance Armstrong was able to so as he admitted it with Oprah
it is funny how Lebron's picture was posted on the steroids article on rotoworld when they recently announced that drug use will be used in the NBA

I'm sure if he is, and I agree with you - it looks like its very possible - the NBA knows and will do whatever to cover it up.
As some have mentioned, I don't think it's a big deal. What I don't like is how the people who do it claim they don't and take all the credit as natural ability. I believe if it was open it would probably be better for sports.
I also watch a lot of tennis and the announcers are always talking about how the top men just keep pushing the envelope and improving so much that nobody can catch them. I also know Nadal who is a fantastic player in my opinion, was linked to a sports medicine group linked to steroids. Novak Djokovic had no stamina then cut out gluten and now he can do back to back 5 set marathons and barely sweat? Yeah right.
I would prefer it if everyone could be honest but its against the rules so people can't talk about it. Even if it wasn't against the rules, I think some of these guys egos are so big that they would still claim it was all natural talent and hard work. Genetics play a role but there is some serious tweaking going on.
But with all that said, if we're able to accuse LeBron, one can also accuse our very own Carmelo and/or Shumpert who returned much quicker/faster than Rose. Melo may not look like he's took and/or taken roids, but neither did Andy Pettitte. Roids can also increase your stamina, and Melo seems to out perform 95% of players on a nightly basis. And during the 4th quarter? Sometimes it looks as if he's performing during the 1st. So, it's really not fare to accuse LeBron as the poster child when in reality, the whole damn league could be juicing some form or another. Look at Ron Artest, classic example of roid rage from time to time. The NBA, like MLB, could end up becoming exposed within the near future and if one superstar is caught? It could taint the overall legacy of many. How do we know Jordan didn't juice? I mean, there is no player that's ever had the competitive drive as Jordan. From gambling, to trying to make a name for himself in BASEBALL! Wouldn't throw it past Jordan to look for a competitive advantage. At the end of the day, we may never know.

huh. Who knew
You can tell the guys on the weed, they're guys like melo,
no way jordan or lebron ever smoked weed, maybe they've done it a handful of times, but they're not stoners like a lot of other players
Yep, Weed isn't performance enhancing, hence why I've no idea why people "look down" on players who smoke during the offseason or anytime for that matter (game-time etc, if there was a problem it would be not being a proffesional by showing up high, not a "you're cheating" or "you're throwing your life away" problem).
Funny how people assume Melo's a stoner :D....not saying he isn't, just that it's funny when people look for any alternative reason as to why a person can be so positive :D (like for example Melo smiling even when he misses a shot or someone he guards knocks it down)
