Bridges, is not a good defender, he doesn't box out and has a history of off court problems. I strongly suspect he is juicing and that has something to do with the anger problems. Not the guy you want on a big contract.
Lol. Where is this suspicion of juicing coming from? Curious.
I just think a lot of guys are likely doing it, maybe like 10% of the league or so. A lot of those players probably started in high school or college.
This is from an article from 2019, but has some interesting quotes:
Current Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose and former Denver Nuggets coach George Karl have speculated otherwise. In 2011, in an ESPN The Magazine story, Rose was asked to rate PED use in the NBA on a scale of 1-10. “Seven,” he said. “It’s huge, and I think we need a level playing field, where nobody has that advantage over the next person.” He later reneged, saying, “I do not recall making the statement nor do I recall the question being asked. If that was my response to any question, I clearly misunderstood what was asked of me.”

Similar playstyle to Bridges with the jumping out the gym ect. Of course once you land that big contract might as well back off the PED's because the only way to not get paid is to get suspended.
When we talk about juicing we are really talking about taking testosterone. Problem is if you start taking it from an external source your body stops making it. This is why the testicles shrink, you don't need them to make testosterone anymore because you get it from somewhere else. The body shuts down production of testosterone in the testicles through a negative feedback loop.
So a lot of people that have low testosterone, have low testosterone because they used to take anabolic steroids.
What is the side effect of to much testosterone? It is angry outbursts, assault, stuff like that. We have a history of multiple angry outbursts, including throwing the mouthpiece at the little girl or whatever, the thing with his wife, and the other thing with his wife with the pool balls.
How many incidents do you think there are that we don't know about? I bet it is more than one.
