I'll be damn if the sports fan in me would Google head and jawline and comparing.

That's not a sports fan, that's a fucking dude that's mad that he can't do what they do.

Justin Smith coming back in Teo weeks from the same injury is suspects to me.

Fuck it, let them niggas line up and play.

Nah, his shit wasn't completely torn, and he's also not playing as well as he played before the injury.

Ray Lewis somehow came back from this injury and is better than ever.....

if you watch the game he really ain't balling.

He's getting a lot of tackles well past the LOS.

Yea, I was exaggerating heavy when I said better than ever haha, but I mean he's playing incredibly well for a nigga that tore his triceps in October.

I notice when he makes a tackle he try and uses his right arm less as he possibly can.

Interesting combination of words there.

Fuck all this "I was picked last for kickball, so I'm going to make the athletic kids suffer" bitter kid shit.

Fact: Take all the steroids, clear, deer antler extract you want, if you don't work like an animal, there are no results. Trying to make it seem like dudes miraculously heal or get strong from an injection is retarded. You have to work regardless.

Fact: Gatorade, coffee, sugar, etc. All of them enhance performance. I can run further on three cups of all of those than I can on just water just like most athletes, but every sport I see a Gatorade bottle or cooler. Word? I can sip some PEDs on court, but God forbid I take a steroid for inflammation after a weight session.

Like all drug issues in this country, problems would be solved by simply legalizing them.

Create a threshold for type and amount of PEDs for all players that is UPDATED at the end of every season to include breakthroughs in the field of study. If a player is found using drugs outside of the mandated ones for anything other than recovery and/or in greater quantity than league max while active, ban him on the first fuck up for being a greedy prick. At least then the field of play is knowingly equal.

And here's food for thought: What if the losers were on PEDs too? Everybody likes to point out the guys who are uber successful as cheaters, but what if the losers were doped up too? Steroids don't account for natural talent and genetics. If you're outworking me by a factor of five without steroids and we both juice up, you're still going to out perform me.

 
he's absolutely right & im glad this article was written. either we care or we dont. Obviously media member care more but they drive conversation. I applaud Simmons for owning his faults. He was starting to get annoying trying to develop his National persona.

No one wants to talk about PEDs in the NBA. No one. We will just act like they dont exist, dont matter and "wouldnt be effective"

I also find it hilariously hypocritical of any fan or media member who tries to link Marquez to Steroids & testing against Pacquaio but did no such thing & turned a blind eye to Manny & hid behind "Floyds scared" as a cop out from the real issue. Simmons wasnt one, but still.

Even tho quite a few people have been suspended over PEDs including OJ Mayo,Rashard Lewis, and Chris Birdman

Andersen who was banned for serveral seasons over Performance enhancing drugs.
