See but that's the thing, it doesn't just help you hit the ball harder. It increases your bat speed, which allows you to not only hit for power but also for percentage. And for pitchers I don't even need to explain what enhanced power/recovery can do. I can't think of one correlating benefit that could apply to the actual skill of basketball. Yeah it could help but nowhere near the same level. It's not going to give a guy like KD better range on his jumpshot, a quicker release or more handle. Remember when everyone thought KD wouldn't be able to compete at an elite level because he was so thin? Yeah, how'd that work out? Lol. Furthermore, recovery is way more of an issue in baseball than it is in basketball. Not recovery from injury but day to day recovery. Not even two weeks ago Kevin McHale, a Hall of Famer, scoffed at the idea of fatigue being a worthwhile issue. So like I said, basketball is not baseball.

A changing of the guard as the Kings/Pacers are voted over a Lakers/Cavs game........
Lakers lost their last game by 36, Cavaliers lost their last game by 44

For lack of a better word it is flat out dumb to say peds can't help a hooper. If that's the case neither do supplements, or exercise, or practice. Stuff like adderall would likely improve your jumper since it improves concentration

i'm glad people with NBA TV are getting to see how little help DMC gets from the rest of his team. Which is why his teams poor record should not be counted against him when talking about him as the best Center or making a case for him as an All-Star

Random ish, but I watched Bill and Jalen's podcast where Jalen predicted that MJ would come back and play one game at the age of 50…Just for fun, if he did come back and played one game today, how many points do you think he'll score?

No one said it wouldn't help. The argument is that it wouldn't help in ways comparable to baseball. Like I said earlier, it's not taking Toney Douglas to the top the way it did Melky Cabrera.

I don't think that's the argument. I think PEDs could have a very strong impact in basketball in a different way.

4 on 1-9 shooting

the person he's guarding would get a career high
And for every Melky Cabrera and Roger Clemens, there's a Jack Cust and Kent Mercker. So let's just not use the MLB players who got "better" because of steroids.
I'm not getting into that though all I need is for Chester to come in here and dump on baseball. I'm sure Osh is working up a post

I don't get what that means. If you play basketball then yea peds aren't gonna help your bat speed. It's the difference between toney Douglas being in the nba or shanghai and bonds being the goat or honorable mention.Lol. Expound

Peds/supplements aren't specific to a certain skill. It enhances everything you do as far as training and thus everything you do on the court. Being able to lift even just an extra 20 pounds is the difference between finishing or not finishing thru contact, having a faster first step, higher vertical...I mean everything bro

So Roy Hibbert is the best defensive big man in the league right? Because he is getting straight cooked by DMC

Yikes. 31/12 for DMC through 3 quarters.
He is severely outplaying Hibbert. SAC just needs someone else to shake loose, which will be tough against the league's best defense.
