He says it was an OTC vitamin supplement, and that he plans on appealing the suspension. They said that the NBA and NBAPA has over 100 banned substances that are common in legal vitmains, supplements, etc.
I agree with Michael, Lewis is too finesse to be assumed of steroids. Now if it were Dwight Howard, Ben Wallace, or even Ron Artest with that temper (and he is kinda buff, for an NBA player) then I could see the suspicion.

Why Not??? in this world money talks. baseball players leave their teams and sign lucrative deals to play with the Yankees. NY loves Lebron anyway, remember the game at MSG, a couple of nights after Kobe where James got 54 the crowd cheered him and gave him the MVP chant.
NY can give him way more than Cleveland, it all depends on what the Cavs do this year. them getting Shaq isnt gonna help. he cant even play a full year.
lebron is gonna get a crazy contract from NY next year, one that he cant pass up on. it will be more than what the highest paid player has now. (Who is that actually Garnett)???
they won't be able to afford him.
the salary cap is falling, not growing.
they still have eddy curry and jared jeffries' bloated contracts.
they still have david lee and nate robinson who rightfully want pay increases.
that italian fuck they drafted (instead of eric gordon... or brook lopez... or the kansas boys), jordan hill, and toney douglas won't look like potential elite players after 2010, even after d'antoni-stat inflation.
and, oh yeah, ny doesn't have a 2010 draft pick so they can't tank this year to make a run at john wall or anything.
there's no way they can pay lebron what he deserves while also maintaining a roster of teammates he thinks he can win a ring with. why the fuck would he leave a great cavs squad to spend his prime on a team rebuilding? he and larry hughes aren't fucking each other or anything.

I'm with Roaches here, no way he goes to NY. The baseball comparison doesn't hold up either, because it really isn't a "money talks" kind of deal. Cleveland will offer the maximum amount regardless, so it's not like NY can outbid. They'll have to lure Lebron with complimentary players, which won't happen. Lebron will stay with the Cav's if he has any sensibility, because they offer him the best chance to win. Why the hell would he want to rebuild again with NY, when Cleveland seems to be putting decent players around him, and getting him even closer to a championship.
Much, much, much more media outlets and marketing in NY.
All the players' money isn't made on their contracts. In fact, they can easily make much more money through endorsements and such than they ever could in a contract. Didn't Nike give LeBron like 90 mill before he ever touched an NBA basketball?
LeBron is unhappy with the management in Cleveland.
In other Non-Bron related news...
-----Q Rich has been traded for the fourth time this offseason, lmao.
-----Powe would have rather stayed with Boston than go to Cleveland.

Hahahaha, Baron Davis / Don Nelson sex tape on the way? Man, that sucks for Baron, I really like the guy. He is obviously ashamed of whatever videos or images they may have of him. It's coming out sometime, TMZ or some shit will leak it.
It really is sad that a career such as Iverson's may be wasted due to his attitude and such, I think he deserves a chance. But I'm biased. Very illustrious career and more heart than anyone to ever touch a basketball.

Four times, Killu.
And yes, I believe Iverson had more heart than Jordan or Kobe. He played through so many injuries, literally sacrificed nearly every inch of his body to play the game. Generously listed at 6 feet tall and still told to guard Kobe, crossed Jordan, played his heart out, left it all on the floor. He had passion.
Kobe and Jordan have the physical attributes that helped them win, 6'6", 6'8" long athletic bodies and the ability to jump over the backboard.
If Iverson had been eight inches taller, he would have dominated either of them. I said it.
