Did Kendrick Perkins returning so quickly from injury raise any red flags for anyone?

I always thought steroid guys had strong muscles because steroids allow you to work harder and recover more but their tendons were always weak as they did not benefit from them and I've heard that steroid can weaken the tendons.   I don't know if this would apply to Perk but he has ripped some tendons but let's let the chips fall.  Although, I posted I'd like to see LeBron get nailed, they all deserve their due process.

Usually their are signs of this stuff other than hulking muscles look at the wrestlers they have jutting chins and prominent brows, baldness also can indicate it sometimes.  Testerone can do the baldness, LeBron went bald really early who knows.   If Stern can ride out dirty biased refs he can probably ride this out as well.   Most dishonest commisoner I have seen in my life.

How about MWP`s miracle recovery at the back end of last season? Got to wonder how that happened

Hello Dwight Coward! Hello Lebron!
These guys are blessed with the best frames in the game, so I would be surprised.  Lebron has looked similar since he was a teenager, and Howard isn't that big except for his freakishly wide shoulders that make him look like a monster.  Guys like Darrell Arthur, Corey Maggette, and Eric Bledsoe have more muscle packed on their frames.

Whole lot of rather disappointing outlooks in here.  Seriously, have some dignity and accept the success of other's, and stop being so jealous.

Wishing, or hoping, a player on another team is found out to be "on the juice" is just disgraceful.

TP for this, a lot of sad and petty sports fans.

Ahhh yeah pretty sure this is a major problem in the NBA that has clearly been ignored.

It will suck to hear whenever some truths come out over the next decade.

Yeah, everyone knew cocaine was effecting the league from the mid 70's until the late 80's but except for a few cases that came out because the players were coke fiends, most names didn't come out until a decade later or more.

The world is different now, though, I would expect that once the dam breaks we will learn a whole lot in a hurry. It's just too hard to keep secrets, and any restraint the media used to exercise to protect celebs'/athletes' reputations is just totally gone.

I was wondering the other day about how someone like Babe Ruth would be viewed today. We'll never see that kind of mythical aura around someone again, I would wager.

We saw it with Jordan. Still do.

I'd classify him as from the "old days." The Ruth example might not have made it clear but I was really thinking about how things have changed in the last 5-10 years.
