Ever since I watched the ESPN's documentary, 9.79*, I think almost all athletes have been and will continue to use steroids. I think LeBron does use steroids. Just like the majority of players in the NBA.
Probably not 'roids, but I'm sure he (and 80% of NBAers) are on something that will be banned in the next few years.
When I heard the NBA wasn't doing similar testing to the MLB I was shocked. But it is what it is. I do believe he uses steroids. I also believe at least 4 guys per team are using it.
Could be taking testosterone boosters. Those are legal in Pro sports as long as your body stays under a certain amount of testosterone, this is easy to do because exercise depletes testosterone stores. I would imagine it to be similar to boxing where the guys fast for a few days to drop weight to fall into a weight class and then get right back up in a day or two. With the trainers and dietitians these guys have I could see them manipulating hormones that well.
So a few of you guys have said you think there's a better case of Wade doing roids than LeBron. Just curious what makes you think that, aside from Wade's huge jaw that is apparently a cause from steroid use?
he was 6-7 240 lbs with 6.7% body fat in high school. like someone said unless he was on roids during high school then his body has a natural progression from teenager to grown man with years of weight training and nba workouts.
Its not even about size. Its about recovery. Explosion. Performance. I have no issue with any NBA player doing anything that isn't tested for. That's on the NBA.
The NBA should secretly make it mandatory for all players to take steroids if they want to play in the league. How much fun would that be? Everyone would go into these roid rages after bad calls.

Some of you need to familiarize yourself with weight training. Lebron and DH's muscularity are both illusions, but different ones. Dwight's body is a stick. He's got large deltoids because he's in love with training them, since they make him look bigger, and that's actually what has caused his back issues. (He's worn a compression shirt that helps keep his shoulders back). His legs are puny for a center. So, it's like a skinny man who has a beer belly that sticks out through his shirt. It'll make him look fat, when he's actually not. Lebron, on the other hand, looks bigger than he is because he works out his full body, so every thing has solid muscle size, but as you can see in the picture, he's not excessively muscular. Some guys work out their biceps to death with heavy weight and their arms will still look smaller than someone who uses less weight, but works out their biceps, shoulders, and triceps.
