Kobe's definitely using PEDs.

There's not a question in my mind

What makes you think that? becuase he performed in the clutch? How does PED's help Kobe sink clutch shots? A shot is a shot, it's 50/50 regardless of weather your on PED's or not. Kobe's athleticism is defenintly going down hill, he barely gets the hang time he use to get.

I do belive theres PED's being used in the league. I belive Lebron is using PEDs. Not because im a kobe fan boy or anything like that. I just notice the size of his head now and compare his head size to when he was a rookie. Pretty sure no amount of muscle mass or aging makes your head size increase that much.

Senatore_M84 · Mar 11, 2013

Kobe at 34 is more athletic and playing more minutes than he has last 4 years

It doesn't add up.

It's not the shots. He's as hit or miss as always. He makes some. He misses some. But the ease at which he can penetrate. Something he hasn't been able to do for years doesn't make sense

Senatore_M84 · Mar 11, 2013

@lebron

He might be
But keep in mind he was 18 as a rookie. Durant had grown like 3 inches since his rookie year. Put on 20 lbs. completely reasonable to think Lebron can put on size and grow between 18 and 21

Much more reasonable than a guy at 34 playing much much younger.

Eitherway Kobe's playing some of his best ball. That's undeniable.

Yeah, i guess until the NBA fixes the loopholes in it's drug testing, all we can really do is speculate.

On another note, RIP Brandon Knight. Lol :lol:

i liked how he was covering his face when he was on the ground haha

I think that the nastiest dunk I ever seen.

Madridista · Mar 11, 2013

Its silly how much the Clippers are celebrating dunks. Its great but its still just another basket. at every dunk the bench starts jumping like idiots and you have the dunker usually Blake or Deandre walking on the floor like he just conquered Russia. stupid imo. I love a dunk as anyone out there (probably more) but I hate how its the meaning of the game for the Clippers.

look at Chris Paul, hes like stfu and make the damn freethrow, dumbass.

he knows whats up.

Madridista · Mar 11, 2013

btw Kobe is not more athletic than before. Hes slower and doesnt jump as high. But his technique is just perfect. and this new role of ball handler is really working for him, he gets screens, drives and dishes out. Or he posts up and takes out the defender with his moves/shooting. Its not too physically demanding what he does. Hes just a legendary, incredible player.

justhope · Mar 11, 2013

37 ppg, 56 fg%, 43 3p%, 7apg, for the last 8 games. ALL THAT AT 34 YEARS!!

and supposedly he s not top3 sg in nba, not top 10 players in the nba

i guess it;s true, haters gone hate

First off. It's 8 games. Lets look at entire year...

Second off he's playing like a top 5 player this year. He hasn't previous couple years.

as hes older hes becoming more intelligent and perfecting his techniques/skill. Now hes in his prime, from technical and mental aspect.

debateable if he's more intelligent than he was in 2010 or 2011

what's not debateable, some of dunks he's had this year he hasnt been able to do in about 3 years, the minutes he plays, the speed he plays at... all out of norm.

considering NBA has a joke testing policy, and considering how competitive he is, it's VERY plausible he's using

it's very plausible jordan did

it's very plausible, lebron is, etc.

I have zero faith that these guys aren't using HGH or something

Senatore is madristas fav poster

Senatore_M84 · Mar 11, 2013

a 7 footer should NOT have handles like this. Ridiculous

justhope · Mar 11, 2013

hmm, Mr. Bryant, Mr. Clutch, Mr. Legend, greatest laker ever? one of the greatest ever?!?

some could say that

well he must be doping then

Kobe couldn't dunk/penetrate the same way two years ago? Not true.

btw, when I said intelligence, I mean experience/maturity.

durant's 24

be naive all you want, i guarantee if nba did HGH testing and actual deep style-olympics level doping checks half the league would be popped.

what's the old expression "If you aint cheatin, you aint trying"

Senatore_M84 · Mar 11, 2013

I'm not a huge fan fo Adrian Woj, but i completely agree here-

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--b...-to-stop-deandre-jordan-s-dunk-174058736.html

OK Deandre did murder him. DeAndre is also a 7ft, 280 lb center. Brandon Knight is a 6ft3 pg.

I still think Barnes dunk on bigger pekovic was better. Perhaps Kobe on the Nets. Any myriad of Blake Griffin dunks, but even then.... i mean if you wanna discuss dunk of year, it's not really that big a deal when a monster guy finishes over a much smaller guy

or you know, dope capital of world.... usa.

wherever you have massive clinics with billions invested in research, this stuff gets created. Sad thing is, stuff like 'the clear' have excellent uses to normal people w/ aging issues. But you know, on sports, it's different.

naivety with doping in sport...

Senatore_M84 · Mar 11, 2013

still no sport in us tests for HGH

not even NFL.

so maybe certain steroids are banned but scientists are always ahead of curve

Senatore_M84 · Mar 11, 2013

This is a great gif :lol:

We play best basketball .. period .. madrista can refute as much as she wants

Westbrook is an animal .. leonard is slower but he has a brain

Ashish · Mar 12, 2013

Holyshit this Tiago "Sparkles" Splitter is beasting ..

Senatore_M84 · Mar 12, 2013

Hell of a game from pops boys.

I know durants trying to be unselfish but if okc ate gonna go back to finals he has to be more assertive

Senatore_M84 · Mar 12, 2013

If Durant wanted to he could get 25 free throw attempts a game and average 40+

Senatore_M84 · Mar 12, 2013

Big game v Knicks now.

We've been slumping. We don't right it soon we drop to 8. Ugh

Steph hits his first 3. Steph loves playing the Knicks
