    I wonder if he would have made that crucial 3 pointer late in game 5 against the Sixers if he wasn't on roids...

    DHEA isn't a controlled substance. You can just buy that shyte offa shelf at GNC. But yeah, he was looking leaner and more ripped for sure. These athletes need to get their supplements straight from their team trainer and have the stuff approved by team doctors (and lawyers) before taking them. $1.6M is alot to lose for a stupid mistake.

    Is that why he was so good in the Playoffs.

    I think it is safe to say that PED's or 'roids' are a constant for all sports from a high school to professional level. We are forgetting about all the shenanigans that go on in the off seasons.
  • Why did lewis do that ? Its going be a hard time for orlando mentally and in the season he is going to miss 10 days

    that's a silly comparison based off of photos..especially when you're talking about a hs athlete in comparison to now..a persons body develops when they age..also if you're in HS or even college playing ball it means nothing in comparison to the amt of personal training a person receives in the pros..look at Shaq, Lonzo, LeBron, Kobe anyone that started in the league young in comparison from a few years end. PHotos don't mean sht

      ...and they are all probably on something. How don't photos mean anything? They are a visual reference to use for comparison to see their growth over time. Dude, Grissom uses photos ALL the time on CSI. I just hated on DHoward because I don't like him.
