People who don’t watch the Bucks always forget how slow he actually looks.

Everyone does that. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry where players can make generational wealth. Anyone who thinks PED usage isn’t rife at the top levels of every major sport is naive as hell.

Yes. A Giannis-less Bucks gets destroyed. A LeBron-less 2017 Cavs also get destroyed.

Even when Giannis came back, his back hurt so much he wouldn’t sit down.

Playing and even watching film is different than watching the games.

“Did you watch game 6 and Brook clinch the finals?”

No, I was watching Paddington 2.

Same with Pele. I knew two things about soccer growing up in the 90s. Some guy got shot in Colombia after losing the world cup and Pele.

Everyone knew Pele.

“Totally random”, even my college football teams “random” drug tests got leaked to us before they happened.

And when you and your teammates are multi-milionaires you can afford the best designer drugs. New PEDs that avoid drug tests are created all the time, and even if the league wanted to catch dopers, it takes time to develop tests for the new drugs. And by then there will be a new one that avoids the test.

That’s what people said about baseball and cycling too. Leagues don’t want to catch players, and they will design their testing to avoid it until the government steps in and makes them.

Pretty much evwryone in professional/Olympic sports are doping. Hell, half the starters on my high school football team doped. They all went on to play D1(or high level JuCo before failing out). It was me and one other guy(a 6’4" 330lb OT) who made D1 without doping, and then another big chunk of my college teammates were on stuff.

There is a reason that when sports are forced to test stringently a huge number get caught. The two biggest examples are baseball and cycling. No one got caught in either until the government got involved and then pretty much all the top level athletes ended up getting caught.

“Timelines” only exist when you have an established superstar in his prime. Like the Bucks can’t trade Khris for a raw 19 year old, even if they are guaranteed to become an all star at 26, because by then it’s too late for Giannis.
