If he’s caught doping, he would be pretty Jebron Lames.
I used to be a huge NBA/basketball fan. Played a ton growing up and watched as many games as possible, and some college. Most, if not all NBA starters are on some sort of juice. Just look closely at these insane body transformations from their rookie to sophomore year. It's definitely not natural (and the "well they have NBA trainers" argument goes out the window).
There's some freaks of nature like LeBron and say, Zion Williamson who are naturally beefy and have high endurance. But at age 40... Nah.
Even during the Last Dance you see it. They talk about how Detroit was pushing Michael around too much, so he had to get in the gym and beef up so he could take a beating. Look close at Rodman, Scottie, even Ron Harper and they all became bodybuilders overnight.
As someone pointed out, there's no regulations or rules in the NBA and there won't be testing anytime soon because their ratings suck. It's one of the reasons I can't watch the game I love anyone, and combined with the style of play ... It's just meh now.
There is no legitimate drug testing in the NBA. ...The only two Olympic sports that don't have to abide by WADA rules are NHL and NBA players.
Count on HGH, Testosterone, some form of anabolics, probably microdosing EPO or other red blood cell boosting product and probably a slew of gray area recovery and boosting products. Plus IV administered cocktails for hydration, recovery and nutrition. Plus the usual workout regimine with top trainers, daily massage, pt, ice baths, heat training, needling, lasering, etc.
Absolute certainty.
There’s no freak athletes like James, Deion Sanders? They all have to be roided?
You mean Bo? epo would be really nice for an nba player. they test for roids in the nba, on a schedule with a 6 month warning, so gotta be really on top of it 🤪
while i understand lebron may very well be on some sort of TRT and because it's doctor prescribed the league looks the other way. honestly, i think this is the most probably thing.
however
freaks do exist among us, some mental, some physical, some spiritual, etc.
at 45 years of age i can tell you i am in better shape from a geometrical perspective than i've been in my life. point being, if one is passionate, persistent and has the resources to commit to making themselves better athletically, at least half of the equation can be improved almost indefinitely
half of the equation referring to strength on one side and grace being the other half that combine to form the basis of power and athleticism as a whole
i think lebron has consistently worked to make himself not just stronger but also better with his movement patterns not to mention his mental ability to see the floor/game faster than almost any of his competitors
i really do think lebron is a freak, evidenced by the fact he could hold his own with nba players in pickup games when he was just 16
it's like quincy wilson being 40 and still running 43s or maybe 42s at that point if the event progresses. does me mean he's on drugs? no, he's always been a freak. is he on drugs? i wouldn't bet against it.

You are awesome, hi I’m 45. congrats on that. LBJ would be jealous
I really don’t know, but damn there are some cynical b@stards around here. You act as if it is completely impossible for a man his age to be any good. How stupid. Don’t you know that LeBron James is basically one of a kind? He was great as boy, great as a young player, and he’s great now. Do you see a pattern here? Yes, I knew you did! LeBron James is an extremely unusual person. So yes, it is completely possible that a man his age can still be good at something. Maybe not possible for you, but as we have already reviewed, you are not LeBron James.
C'mon man, what are you some kind of naive guy that he's doing it natty in his older age & at the tail end of career?
UFC Middleweight fighter-turned ESPN MMA analyst Charl Sonnen says LeBron is on PEDs including EPO:
I don't believe LeBron ever has publicly defended himself against these allegations. I know he hasn't entertained any lawsuit for defamation of character against Sonnen.
What are you serious? A retired MMA fighter accused LeBron. We’ll hot damn that changes everything don’t it? I do not care if some random guy busts out with accusations. Do they evidence? Connections to shady labs or “consultants”? If not Mr. MMA can be quiet
Did you watch the video that I linked where Sonnen gives an interview? He says he & LeBron get's his EPO & other PEDs from the same supplier that he got his fear from.
Also, former founder of Balco Labs, Victor Conte, whose Labs manufactured undetectable anabolic steroid compounds that were sold to elite & pro-athletes, says LeBron uses PEDs:
Victor Conte, the founder of the infamous and now-defunct sports nutrition center BALCO, joined Fearless with Jason Whitlock to discuss the controversial recent comments made by former NBA superstar Kevin Garnett in which Gar...

Does anybody else think LeBron James may have been hand picked by God to achieve impossible things. He’s like Usain Bolt destined for greatness? And here’s why the steroids are a fallacy. If everyone was taking steroids wouldn’t they achieve the other worldliness of the chosen one LeBron James? God had great things in store for him like Usain Bolt. There’s superhuman among us and those two are it. Lebron is the athletic version of Jesus Christ.
LeBron HGH (ab)use is one of the NBA's worst kept insider secrets. He has juiced as much as he can get away with knowing the league won't dare test him due to his status as the face of the league, and everyone's under orders to keep their mouth shut about it. His scoring record is as legit as Barry Bonds' records.

Thinking he could be....but wouldn't steroids over a long period do damage and shorten his career?

True, it ruined so many baseball careers. Imagine if Bonds had been able to stay healthy, dude could have hit 700 homers!

It depends on what kind of anabolic steroids an athlete takes, dosages used, injectable vs oral, anabolic vs androgenic properties, etc. Not all steroids are created equal. Orals can be liver toxic - particularly with large dosages or long-term use. Injectables are generally safer. Some orals have low androgenic properties that results in less side-effects.
I was a bodybuilder back in the Golden era (1970s/80s). The top bodybuilders back then (Arnold, Ferrigno, Zane, Waller, etc) were generally using a few compounds - one or two orals & one or two injectables at moderate to low doses (nothing like what the mass monsters take today). Most of those Golden era guys lived long & healthy lives. Arnold is healthy & works out everyday in his late 70s. Both Waller, Ferrigno & Zane are living healthy lives well inti their 80s.
