    HGH does next to nothing for adding muscle. Anabolic steroids won't add 25lb of muscle in one summer. This all assuming the user isn't fresh out of a concentration camp to begin with. Nothing to see here.

    NBA players end the season 10-15 pounds lighter than they started. It's not unimaginable to see a skinny guy putting on 20 pounds of muscle with rest, diet and the fact he's finally 8 his mid 20's with metabolism slowing down. Too many assumptions

    Does weight and power really matter for a perimeter player? KD made waves predraft for being so weak he couldn't even do a benchpress, didn't stop him from becoming the 2nd best SF in the league since day 1.

    Not only that adding muscle if your frame can't support it just leads to injury more than anything else, since you now have muscle you try to go in hard and absorb contact every play, eventually your body breaks down and you get injured.

    It's possible it called a weight room, basketball, and an extreme diet... Hgh def helps to but it can be done without it...

    Adding muscle the right way does not equal injury.... Durant is a freak! Watch any Bball game all the pgs are going towards a Westbrook Paul Lowry build... Why be the tiny guy who bounces off people and gets hurt... 190 to 215 is perfect for a strong pg IMO...

    You can not add 25 lbs of muscle and stick to NBA restrictions. HGH on its own will not allow you to work your way to 25lbs in 4 months.

    This is an NBA player. It wouldn't even be the case that the guy is just killing it with a super lean diet, power lifting and HGH. Putting weight on that way neither gets you toned nor allows you to maintain the quickness of a basketball player. But even lifting that way you would struggle - especially someone like Jennings who has been skinny his whole life - to put on 4-5lbs per month of mostly muscle.

    Frankly it's absurd. The only way it's possible is if the guy was extremely low on water levels, added a significant amount of fat, spent all 4 months doing nothing but putting on muscle, sleeping well, eating scientifically well and neglecting his basketball skills. I can see him maybe hitting 20lbs and that's barely believable.

    It just doesn't happen, and it certainly can't happen in a way that's conducive to an NBA perimeter player's goals.

    You obviously haven't run a cycle, or been around anyone who has run one properly.
