you have dismissed the steroid issue in the nba far too lightly. steroids help to recover quickly from injuries, and i would be shocked if nba players haven’t used steroids short term to speed recovery on many occasions.
the other steroid issue is height, which you can’t teach, but you can increase, in men up to about age 23, with human growth hormone, tweaked or untweaked. ‘growth spurts’ in basketball players between 18 and 22 are not unheard of, and there are lots of 6’8″ players who wouldn’t be in the league if they were 6’4″.

For a guy who was traded to the Heat as an afterthought, I’m happy with how he’s pitched in.

I watched Butler last night and he looked to have a bigger ass and seems slower then usual. Dunno tho…

Remember Bibby back in the Kings years? One year he comes back with noticeable larger arms, pure muscle but his shot was never the same after bulking up.

Seeing as Rondo has no J that seems irrelevant, but with his game it makes a lot of sense bulking up.

Basketball players need core strength, not big arms. Players like Steve Nash are revolutionary with their workouts and his game (and his jump shot) speaks for it self i guess.

then again, there are players like kobe. remeber when few years ago he bulked up, put some nice muscle weight on him, so he could play more of a small forward. he was bit slower. then next year he lost weight and he’s back at his rubber man shape. ofcourse hes slower now, but that comes with age. i think that problem with players who put alot of muscle weight in offseason is that they do too much of weight lifting without some stretching or what ever, to keep their bodys flexible.

Don’t trust it. Q is trying to get that last contract. And I wouldn’t brag about how great he’s been seeing as how he keeps getting his ass lit up by nearly everyone he’s guarding. I think Deng even gave to him…in the post no less.

Q-Rich is one of the most disappointing dudes to ever come out of Chicago. Pisses me off too. He used to bang in the post and played smothering Defense. Then he went to Phx and lost his f^king mind. Starting shooting 3′s like he was a sharpshooter. But never managed to shoot a good percentage. Miami needs another threat, and he could be that threat, but it may take too much work for him to do, so he prefers to sit on the perimeter shooting 3′s.

@3,

That’s not the REAL Tyrone. Because the REAL Tyrone always lets you know at the end of each post that:

True Thugs never lie
The Real Tyrone

or some shit like that. Disappointing too, cause I wanted so bad to believe that this was a real person, but knowing its some lame, kinda makes it racist.
