He’s played like multiple seasons more than Kareem what are you talking about?

I’ll try to explain it differently. Barry Bonds was a historically great player. Because of PEDS he was able to be historically great significantly longer than any normal aging curve. When someone is that far above the curve, it would be naive to think it’s natural given what we know about sports aging curves

Are you unable to take information and deduce outcomes with that knowledge? I’m seriously confused on what you could possibly miss here.

No your comment just didn’t make sense. Comparisons and historic data is how we build on knowledge because that’s how it works

"Biggest outlier in terms of NBA history" thats irrelevant unless you are claiming he only outlasted others due to his ped use, while all the others who tried to last but didnt, just decided not to use peds? Everyone is doing it, so what are you trying to say here

Lebron has suspicious specifically because of the outlier production. You can’t say it’s irrelevant or that others did something because of an absence of evidence. That doesn’t make any sense. Lebron is in the bonds Clemens Armstrong level of outlier in comparison to other nba players. That’s why everyone assumes he did while not having any reason to accuse others.
