What if all that Germany treatment s**t is directly tied to the Nazi experiments?

A lot of these cats will be going to Germany for whatever the hell they did there.

I don't think he's quite as athletic, but he's close. Spot on observations regarding the head fakes and stuff. The last couple of years, teams have been putting bigger defenders on him and he couldn't handle their combination of size/quickness. (guys like Batum/Josh Smith, for example) Now he's abusing them. Sure hope it's the Germany procedure and not PEDs. But in this era, unfortunately, whenever a guy does something like this there's gonna be questions, and rightfully so.

The Germany procedure IS PEDs that is pretty obvious.

Alex Conover ‏@alex_cono Mr. @rickyrubio9 's current steals total over the last 10 games (43) is the most prolific stretch by any player since Ron Artest in 2002.

How is taking blood from one part of your body, spinning it in a centrifuge, and injecting it into another part of your body to stimulate tissue growth "PED's"?

Seriously, the NBA is due for a MLB-like PED scandal. It's crazy how well so many players are playing deep into their 30s.

I think HGH is the thing in the NBA. Namely, I think lebron is on it or was on it. That's what caused that crazy growth on his chin that he had sliced off.

Why wasn't anyone questioning this when Jordan was playing 82 games, 37mpg, and averaging 20ppg at 40 years old??

Or

When he won his last championship, he was over 35, played every game and averaged 39mpg and averaged 29ppg??

Because then, even in baseball, the PED stuff was just a whisper.

PEDs didn't become a big deal until like 2003, mostly because of Bonds
