Confirmation bias running rampant here.

- LeBron takes PEDs and therefore Bronny takes PEDs
- PEDs cause cardiac arrest sometimes therefore PEDs caused Bronnys cardiac arrest.
- Report saying it was congenital is covering for PEDs since they wouldn't tell anyone.

Each one of these is a leap confirming the next leap. To feel confident of knowing what happened is not the best reflection on ones judgment.

So, we’re just supposed to believe what we’re told on the surface and never question things? If that is the case then Barry Bonds never took roids either.

Questioning is encouraged.

No one has the answer to whether Bonds took roids either, but I’m confident that he did.

At the end of the day, nobody knows the details, so discarding opinions is just as bad as stating unknown possibilities as fact.

Exactly, people take it way too personally when they don’t agree with something that no one knows the true answer to.

Except you’re not “questioning”. You are stating with complete certainty in every post that he’s on PEDs.

I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

What is the reality here that some don't seem to comprehend is that the overwhelming probability is that Bronny had some congenital heart issue that caused this.


Who could have seen it coming?

Lol, suuuure it's all congenital. You did read that press statement came from someone in Bron's camp right?

Is this a question?

PED testing in the NBA is a joke. Everyone knows this. You think the league wants Bron to get outed for testing positive for roids? Also, these guys have drug manufacturers that can change the tiniest molecules of a PED to make it undetectable by the silly little tests the NBA does.


Welp, there it is. Conspiracy theory confirmed. As long as your cards are on the table.


Lol, are you being paid by Adam Silver? This is pretty much agreed upon by most people who know the league.

“Questioning”?

But you're not "questioning" are you. You are stating without any hesitation that he is on PED's. So...


So we have to have proof in order to make a statement about something? You must think OJ didn’t murder his wife either.

More questions from Sherlock J…

How much did Lance Armstrong weigh?


His main thing was blood doping, and as far as I know he didn't have a heart attack. Even among guys who take MASSIVE amounts of PED's for pro bodybuilding the vast majority don't have heart attacks like this, and none that I can recall at age 19.

To claim Bronny was taking PED's simply because he had a heart issue is way too speculative, especially since there is just nothing else there to hang your hat on.


That’s because most 19 year olders don’t have the access to the crazy types of experimental PEDs that Bronny was taking. To think that he’s 100% clean when his dad spends millions per year in his body is a joke.


This is a question. Oh wait, nope, not a question.

Apparently the J stands for Joe "I'm just asking questions" Rogan over here, except without even the actual facade of asking questions.

I hope Big J comes back when he actually wants to ask a question.

Alright lets get this back on topic. I have no issue with people bringing up the heart issue when talking about Bronny, obviously that is going to get talked about. But I feel like everyone has said their piece when it comes to the causes on it, an official statement has been given, I dont really care if you accept that or not, really makes no difference to me.

But ya time to get this back on track.
