Re: Are you ready for the NBA to start HGH Testing?
I don't understand why the NBA would open this can of worms.

Re: Are you ready for the NBA to start HGH Testing?
Well I doubt considering how scrawny KD is that he uses anything,lol. I would also be very shocked if LBJ used PED's. Lebron just happened to be blessed by the good Lord with his body.
I dont see PED's to be much of a issue in the NBA, not saying there isnt any trying to gain a edge and cheat, but Basketball isnt like football, or baseball, where strength is huge for success. I know now days the PED's isnt all about building muscle, and their is stuff out there to help with hand eye cordination, and help heal quicker from injuries, so Im sure the NBA isnt 100% clean, but I would be extremely shocked if there was a huge problem like there was in baseball at 1 time, and the issue in football.
Considering how Stern did do things, and Adam Silver being basically taught everything he knows by Stern, if there were quite a few big names like Lebron, Kobe, KD, etc, I could see him try to quietely sweep it under the rug. Hopefully Silver ends up being a better Commissioner than Stern was, although Stern did add a lot of positives to the NBA, but I dont see him being much different than what Stern was unfortunately.Everyone who exalts themselves will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted- Luke14-11

Re: Are you ready for the NBA to start HGH Testing?
No doubt players have been using this stuff. I know I would if I needed to recover quickly. Playing 4-5 games a week and traveling is a lot to ask from the body especially careers that last more than a decade. Plus players are playing all summer internationally too, I dunno how these guys do it.

Re: Are you ready for the NBA to start HGH Testing?
Idk man. My fist couples years of college I went and played every single day for 4-5 hours.. Now I'm not at all trying to compare a pickup game to an NBA game but that's a lot more running, jumping, banging than just 35 minutes a night for 3 or so nights a week.
Especially considering all high tech equipment they have designed just for aiding in them recovering, professional chefs and trainers, hours of game prep and stretching, immediate icing and doctoring... All I had was a dorm bed, caf food, and ibuprofen lol.

Yeah but you were young with a lot less mileage. these nba players have been playing non stop since they were in middle school.

Re: Are you ready for the NBA to start HGH Testing?
Definitely, but I was by no means a professional athlete, with the type of training these guys have. I understand they have tons of mileage on them, but they are trained and prepped for it.
What does this matter though? I understand it's a much higher level but I don't understand how that matters in correlation to what I said in my post..
The NBA is obviously a higher lever than pick up games. But the playing field is leveled. Those guys are professionals playing against professionals, I was average playing against average. Sorta balances out no?

Re: Are you ready for the NBA to start HGH Testing?
I wonder what effect it will have on the league. Will guys get injured longer or look smaller?
I just think a good number players have been using in the last decade since it hasn't been tested. Especially those contract years where players have to press more that season.

Re: Are you ready for the NBA to start HGH Testing?
I don't know how I feel.... You know I never guessed a basketball player would benefit from this stuff. But I guess when you look guys at like LeBron. You have to wonder. I'd be really hurt if anyone gets caught.Hands Down....Man Down - 2k9 memories

Re: Are you ready for the NBA to start HGH Testing?
For the most part Lewis was a spot up shooter, even in his prime.. He may have been caught with stuff but I don't think it's what made his game, or his decline.
Still believe if HGH was being used by NBA players it would almost purely be used by those trying to return from injury.. It's has no real long term effects that aid in basketball related skills, just increases recovery time. HGH is not a steroid, it's not going to make you bigger, faster, stronger the way a steroid potentially can.. And from my knowledge of it, long term use can lead to a reverse effect.. Problems with muscle pains, joint pains and swelling, etc. Can't see these guys trying to cure muscle fatigue with something that may cause ankle and knee pain.

Re: Are you ready for the NBA to start HGH Testing?
Lewis took an over the counter steroid.. Basically a pro hormone which you can buy at GNC or any other supplement shop. And he supposedly only took it towards the end of one season with Orlando.
