Has NBA improved its PED problem at all?

I find it hilarious that so many people are questioning Chris Paul for reaching the Finals at age 36 but they never question Tom Brady for winning super bowls almost every year in his 40's.

Chris Paul, for once, has a really good young team around him and gets good rest during these games too. He's not bowling people over with his athleticism either.

This.

There’s absolutely no reason to suspect a shrimp like Chris Paul of using PED. Medical/scientific advancements have made mid-30s the new early-30s, and early 40s the new late 30s (plus luck/genetics/discipline/not being allowed to hit QBs like the old days with regards to TB12). That simple. Plus, the Suns have a great backup PG, CP3 is not the least bit overworked, and I bet he treats his body like a temple now more than ever (he wants to continue being paid well with his salary and endorsements such as State Farm).

LeBron is another question, of course…I know plenty of guys in their late 30s who look like CP3, but not like LeBron so much…

I would agree tb probably has been doing some grey area stuff. But I would also point out the league changed the rules to much without being able to hit a quarterback high, low or possibly anywhere it is a different position than it used to be. I think Marino would have played till 40 under the current rules. I could be wrong on this but nfl ped testing has seemed to suspend some reasonable high level players (not superstar but some good players). Best player to get suspended from nba was Rachard Lewis
