May Bronny James rating a bucket in opposition to his father, LeBron? Kevin Garnett definitely doesn’t assume so.
However whereas discussing the subject with bestie Paul Pierce on an episode of KG Licensed, the Corridor of Famer didn’t cite age, dimension, or expertise as to why he believes that. As a substitute, KG prompt that LeBron is utilizing steroids.
“His dad on that BALCO, he on that new juice,” Garnett stated.
Whereas it was seemingly a throwaway line, this isn’t the primary time the dialog surrounding James and PEDs has come up. However it’s uncommon for it to return on this specific discussion board.

LeBron James has by no means failed a drug take a look at throughout his 21-year NBA profession, however final yr, documents were discovered linking The King’s associates to the Biogenesis scandal.
In case you forgot, Biogenesis was a wellness clinic in Miami, Florida, run by a cocaine-addicted Anthony Bosch, who was supplying athletes — primarily baseball gamers — with performance-enhancing medicine.
Nevertheless, after ESPN’s report on the Biogenesis investigation — LeBron himself was cleared by the DEA — solely Deadspin and the DailyMail reported on James’ identify showing within the docs.
There might not be something there, and different shops seemingly haven’t requested the Lakers’ star about it.

Anytime your identify or these of shut associates/pals/members of the family are linked to one thing like PEDs it at all times appears dangerous.
Peyton Manning had his time within the highlight regarding PEDs when he was named in an Al Jazeera investigative report in 2015 that claimed he’d allegedly received Human Growth Hormone (HGH) from an anti-aging clinic in Indianapolis. Manning would later deny the allegations.
