    WOW THE NBA DRUG POLICY IS A JOKE...

    OK I just watched the entire drug hearing for the NBA and I am shocked... Was this a joke? It's an honor system for veterans after training camp.... HAHAHAHA you can't be serious... And to top all of that Billy Hunter the player rep says he thinks there is no steroid use in the NBA.... David Stern came out looking good though by saying he wants more testing to show how clean his players are. Billy Hunter thank you for playing you have 5 days to clear out your office. I really hope this new policy passes with the possibility of making the 2 year ban maybe 2nd time around... This stuff is interesting though. Poor NBA got thrown under the bus and Billy Hunter was right there with it.

    Geez, some teams would lose most of their roster if they start doing this right.

      Billy Hunter could be held for purgery(SP) for saying that he believes there is no steroids in the NBA, which in my opinion was one of the dumbest things he could have possibly said. If there is any evidence that he knows about prior steroid use Congress can hold him on the charge and I wouldn't be surprised if they infact did that.

        I dont get why NBA players would need to take steroids?

          possibly makes you faster, stronger (good for rebounding) heal quicker from injuries... the upside for post players is high, for guards I think the upside would be a lot less but still present none the less.

              I highly doubt the NBA would have a high percentage of players testing postivie for steroids.

                Maybe for centers and power forwards but it wouldn't be good for everyone else.

                If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                  Yeah,I could see that. But I doubt they'd help much. You can either play basketball or you can't,plain and simple.

                    I don't think steroid use is that high in the NBA but i'm sure there's a sizable minority. I think the main problem with the NBA is recreational drugs like weed and coke.

                      I agree...it'd be scary if the NBA cracked down on all these, could get ugly

                        You guys are only looking at the "getting bigger and stronger" aspect of steroids. What about reducing the time it takes to recover from injuries? What about reducing the time it takes your body to recover from a tough 48 minute game?

                        Not every takes the 'roids to get bigger and stronger. There ARE other reasons for doing it...

                          Do a poll and I guaranty you that the majority of roid users take it to gain muscle mass.

                            Didnt Kobe Bryant put on a huge amt of muscle mass during an off-season?

                            Not saying he took steriods but muscle mass is useful for all positions on the bball court. More muscle means u can post up better, you have better control when people knock into you etc...

                              No, the majority take them to recover quickly from muscle fatigue and injury, and to gain general strength. The muscle mass is more of a byproduct for athletes.
