    Why D-Wade? He definitely got bigger, but not 'steroid' bigger. Some weight lifting and facial hair can go a long way. ;)


    The guy I think may have had some influence is:

    But I could be wrong. Genetics are a huge factor in muscle tone/mass.

    I know Wades and James jawline get bigger and bigger every year. If they both turned into their versions of the Incredible Hulk next season I wouldn't be shocked. I believe they do not do roids but if they did I would think they probably share the same stuff.

    Are you serious? Every college player puts on weight after his rookie year in the NBA. Even MJ looked scrawny. Kobe did too. Tracy was EXTREMELY skinny... and so on and so on. LeBron is questionable and so is Dwight.

    Dwight Howard would be my #1 suspect. Wade is such a complete freak I can understand the suspicion.

    I am sure it is but you have a lot of odd people caught for them

    I mean Don McLean was caught for PEDs

    I always thought some of the HS kids (lebron, Dwight) may have used something they were big coming out of high school no doubt but they got huge really quickly even if they had proper diets and workout regiments hard to see them get so big so fast. i doubt they use them anymore of course but in the first 1-3 years in the league i wouldnt put it past them.


    i wish the nba tested more strictly they are more concerned about weed than peds it seems

    Howard and James always had great frames, I wouldn't suspect them of needing any PED's unless they were recovering from a major injury (which neither has faced). My main suspects would be fringe big men, ala Joel Anthony, and very hyper guys like Joakim Noah.

    Dwight Howard looks like an action figure with oversized arms that are falling off.

    I would actually guess more fringe guys who are near the end of the rotation are using than stars. Never really thought about it before though.

    I remember Barkley had a great quote about Don Mclean at the time. In retrospect, IIRC, the knock on McLean coming out of college was that he was too weak to play the 4 and too slow to play the 3, so I don't find it surprising at all that he'd turn to steroids.

    Funny D-Rose mentions that. If I were to guess I'd include him in the list up at the top.

    Howard is extremely proportional, you're obviously intimidated by beautiful black people and are using this as an opportunity to rail against them.

    Noah is my first official guess. It's either PED's or Cocaine. Or maybe cocaine is a PED. >.<

    Only person that I was pretty sure that did steroids was Carlos Boozer because of his acne.
