"It's obvious some of our players are doping. So how are some guys getting older-yet thinner and fitter? How are they recovering from injuries so fast?" I think it would take an outstanding amount of naivety to believe there's not PED and Steroid use in NBA basketball. The incentive right now in the NBA is too great. They're handing out 10million dollar contracts, $15million contracts to guys 7th on the bench, 8th on the bench. NBA basketball is flushed with money. When that's the case, players are dying, willing to cheat to be a part of it. You can guarantee it, and it has nothing to do with basketball. Any sport, any game in life for that matter, with that much money involved, people will be willing to cheat to get there. Show me a sport, and I'll show you a dirty sport. There are different types of forms of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Yes, some of them accelerate your body's ability to build muscle by artificially increasing your body's natural testosterone levels. These are classified as anabolic steroids. But in a separate class, there are also Peptides and Human Growth Hormones (HGH). For NBA basketball players who are growth hormone deficient, this allows them to put on more muscle faster, increase skeletal mass, reduce body fat percentage, give them higher energy levels, and increase their work capacity. In addition, some of the other benefits of HGH offset ageing and muscle degeneration, resulting in a long career. There are also EPOs. EPOs help NBA basketball players increase their aerobic capacity so they can continue to perform at a high level late in the season or during long stretches in a game. I'm not an expert in Pharmacology. I'm only scratching the surface here, but when people say steroids wouldn't help an NBA basketball player put a basketball into a hoop. It would negatively affect their ability to perform because they'd be carrying too much muscle. Based on what we've seen in players like Zion Williamson, Giannis Antetokounmpoand a handful of others, I have to disagree. 00:00 Trailer 00:54 Kobe's Legendary 666 Workout 02:32 Myth: Steroids Wouldn't Help Basketball Players 02:58 Anabolic Steroids Explained 03:11 Human Growth Hormone Explained 03:30 EPOs & Blood Doping Explained 04:21 Myth: Cheaters Would've Gotten Caught 04:42 The NBA's Drug Test Protocol 05:15 4 Ways NBA Players Can Pass Drug Tests While Taking Banned Substances 06:48 The Risks of Cheating in the NBA 07:15 Money is the Motivation 07:49 The Challenge of the NBA's Regular Season: Recovery 09:05 These Players Were Caught For Using PEDs & Steroids 10:11 The LeBron James Steroid Story 11:47 Derrick Rose's Perspective On PED & Steroid Use In The NBA 12:04 Does The NBA Have A PED & Steroid Problem?

Over the last couple of years, NBA legend Dwyane Wade has found himself at the center of a highly publicized controversy involving his ex-wife. At the heart of the matter is a serious accusation: that Wade has been exploiting their 15-year-old son, whom he now identifies as his daughter, for money and brand deals. The situation has sparked intense debate and discussion regarding Wade's responsibility as a parent and whether or not he should be affirming his child's so-called "gender identity" or gender dysphoria at such a young age.

... correction, you mean the first male to win an NCAA championship in a female category. Lia Thomas Wins the 2021 NCAA Women's Champion ... opportunities you wouldn't have had if you didn't pretend to be something you're not. ...The last thing we need to see is more men, let alone boys, playing dress-up and hijacking girls' and women's sports. Contrary to what the woke left wants everyone to believe, which is that Trans Athletes are being discriminated against and being banned from playing sports, primarily by people on the right- is entirely false. I want you to answer this question: out of 10 Americans, how many do you think want Transgender athletes to be banned from competing? This analysis was conducted by the Pew Research Center, which surveyed 10,000 random Americans across the country to find out how they thought or felt about Trans people. One of the statements was: Trans Athletes should play on teams that match the gender they were born with. The survey found that 6 in 10 favoured the idea. 2 in 10 were opposed to it- which we can assume were the woke progressives like Lia Thomas. And the other 2 picked neither favour nor oppose which is a bit of a grey area because it could mean that they think Trans Athletes shouldn't be able to compete at all or they simply don't have an opinion about it. But what this survey reveals is that the majority of Americans agree that trans athletes should be allowed to play sports, as long as it's against the gender they were assigned at birth. But going back to this bill, if it does get passed, what does this mean for high school girls and female college athletes? According to the US Department of Education, The Biden Administration wants to create a new rule that would stop elementary schools and high schools from creating a one-size-fits-all rule that bans transgender kids from participating in teams that align with their gender identity. Schools would still have the flexibility to create their own criteria to decide if a trans person is allowed to participate based on fairness and preventing sports-related injuries. But schools can't ban a trans person from participating in a sport based on their gender identity. There are already a number of states that have a rule against trans athletes competing against girls. But if this rule gets overturned, we are going to see a radical shift of boys breaking girls' records, winning their titles and taking their scholarships. All while the real girls will be forced to watch their hard work and opportunities get stolen from them. So what can girls do to defend their freedoms? Well, there are already a number of organizations, female activists and conservatives that are fighting to defend their freedoms against these so-called 'modern-day women'. On April 7th, Lia's ex-teammate Riley Gaines visited San Francisco State University to talk about her experience competing at the D1 level against a biological man. Some may think 'Well that isn't going to happen in my sport' which is just blissful ignorance. The reality is: no sport is safe. We've seen it happen already in track and field, swimming, tennis, and mixed martial arts, and it's just a matter of time before we see the first trans-WNBA player. Back in January, I posted a video discussing the unfair advantages of transgender athletes. One example I cited was the 1976 US Open, in which 25 out of 32 female competitors boycotted the event because a transgender athlete was allowed to compete against them. The Women's Tennis Association took action by requesting that the trans athlete take a DNA test to determine their eligibility to compete. However, the athlete refused to take the test, disqualifying them from the event. While this happened over half a century ago, this story still holds relevance today and offers a valuable case study for understanding how to combat this issue.

LeBron James has convinced the world he's 'more than an athlete' and positioned himself as a human rights activist, speaking out against racism and injustices. LeBron James: I would never shut up about things that are wrong. But now, people like Enes Kanter are calling him out. Enes Kanter: All the stuff that is happening in America- you're going to call yourself a freedom fighter- you're going to call yourself a 'more than an athlete', human rights activist. But when the things you talk about affect your money and business, you're going to shut up about it. And this leaves us all wondering: how will this affect LeBron's legacy? I'm just kidding. However, after doing a little digging, the truth is that LeBron is not the perfect role model the media portrays. Now, I'm all for social justice and creating change, but the problem with LeBron is he practices selective outrage. He'll carefully pick and choose which issues to speak out on as long as it paints him in a positive light. However, he decides to stay silent when finances are involved because he values money over morals. So I'm going to present you with the facts and let you decide: is LeBron a brave social justice hero like the mainstream media portrays him to be, or a hypocrite pretending to care about social issues to boost his popularity? My intention is not to try and "cancel" LeBron but to open a discussion that I believe is worth having in order to discern who our true heroes are.

The WNBA has been around since the late 90s, and it seems like the only time they're relevant is when a player gets thrown into a Russian prison, or the women are demanding a raise. As someone who's been a fan of the NBA since I was 8 years old, I've never really cared or noticed the WNBA- and I know many of you watching can relate. In high school, my friends would always poke fun at how bad the WNBA is- I didn't know anything about the WNBA then since it was never on TV. But I'll never forget the first time I was exposed to the league. ESPN was doing an interview with a WNBA player- her name's Brittney Griner- you may know her as the WNBA player that was trapped in Russia. Now Griner is 6'10". And the interviewer asks her to throw down a dunk because it's uncommon for females to be able to dunk on a 10-foot hoop. She goes up and misses her first attempt. At that point, I'm thinking, 'ok, everyone gets one.' Before trying her second attempt, she makes sure her laces are tied. and after that dramatic build-up, she misses again. At that moment, I'm thinking this has to be a skit- but nope. It's 100% real. Now don't get it twisted, she'd probably cook me 1 on 1, there's no doubt about that- but really? This is what the best women's basketball league in America has to offer? If you google WNBA dunks, you'll find a 2-minute compilation of every dunk that's happened in the last 26 years. Spoiler alert there's been less than 30, and only 8 players have been able to. If you google WNBA highlights, the top search results are 10 minutes of WNBA fails. But you know what? Anyone can stitch a bunch of lowlights together and make something look bad. Just look at what Shaq did to Javale McGee early on in his career. However, what truly convinced me that the WNBA is as bad as everyone says it is was this video that went viral this past summer. So, just to give you some context, some WNBA team won a chip and decided to throw a parade expecting their fans to show up. And nobody showed. Not a single soul. Despite the fact nobody cares about the league, the players aren't better or even as good as the NBA- even if they say they are. The women of the league keep coming up with more arguments about why they should be paid better. Why aren't they paid the same as the men? First and foremost, let's address the elephant in the room, why is there a wage gap? Statistically speaking, between the two leagues, there's a major difference in fan attendance and viewership. The WNBA had 379,000 people tune in to watch during the 21/22 season across 4 major American networks. Compared to the NBA, the NBA had 1.75M viewers that same season across the same networks. More viewers = more commercials which = more money. Last year, the WNBA generated $60M in revenue through tickets, merch, commercials and sponsorships. Whereas their counterpart generated $10B through the same means of sales. Finally, there's also a difference in the games played. Each team in the WNBA plays just 32 games a season, plus playoffs. And in the NBA, teams play 82 games plus the playoffs. Fewer games = less screen time. Less screen time = fewer commercials, and fewer commercials = less money. The more money the league generates, the more money it has to distribute among its players. That's why there's a wage gap. Despite people's assumption that the reason for the WNBA's lack of success is due to sexism- it couldn't be further from the truth. The WNBA is subsidized by the NBA because women wanted their own basketball league. And what happened? Barely any women show up to the games. Do you know what's even more ironic? More men watch the WNBA than women. So in this video, we are going to analyze and dismantle three of the best arguments that WNBA players have come up with on why they deserve to be paid more.

Do Trans Athletes have an unfair advantage? And should they be allowed to compete in women's sports? I know the very nature of this topic is controversial and this may come across to some people as quote un quote 'transphobic'. But I want to say that it is clear to me that gender dysphoria is a real medical condition and people who experience Gender Dysphoria should be treated with tolerance and compassion and not have to face discrimination and violence because of who they are. However, we're talking about competition and fairness in sport, so naturally, the question that comes to mind is: Do Trans Athletes have an unfair advantage and should they be allowed to compete against women? That is the question this video is going to answer. For those of you who don't quite understand the concept of transgender, we're talking about biological males transitioning into females through the use of hormone blockers and surgery, and competing against biological women. Sex segregation is how competitive sport has recognized the performance advantages elite male athletes have over elite female athletes. In 1998, Serena and Venus Williams claimed they could beat any man outside of the top 200 in a singles match. One man accepted the challenge, world ranked #203, Karsten Braasch. How to... beat both Williams sisters in one afternoon | Sport | The Observer According to journalists, Braasch's training regiment 'centred around beer and cigarettes'. Sister Act Falls in Battle of Sexes Despite all that, Karsten still came out victorious over both sisters. When Braasch was interviewed after the match, he told the reporter 'he had finished a round of golf and 2 beers earlier that day and it didn't matter if the sisters played someone outside the top 300 or above, they didn't stand a chance'. Serena Williams *I wouldn't want to compete against men* Now that observation and statement may come across as 'sexist'. However, data proves that high school boys athletes can outperform female Olympic athletes. And yes, that wasn't a mistake. I said high school boys athletes. 10.49 is the Women's World Record for the fastest time in the 100 meters. 4 individual male high schoolers between the ages of 15 and 18 beat that record. If the idea to separate men from women in sports made sense 50 years ago when former US President Richard Nixon passed title IX, how did we get to the point where elite male athletes are now allowed to identify as 'women' and compete against elite female athletes and how is this supposed to be progress for women globally?
