Technical question to NBA rules experts.

I didn't either. I guess Americans just build muscle more easily. It's probably because we're just better than Argentines.

yeah right,that's why you guys in SA need TWO Argentinians to save the day for you all.

I Saw the guy once in Orlando and watched some Magics games in his roockie year, and his arms were more tham half the size they're right now.

my arms three years ago are more than half what they are now. and i'll bet that my arms now are more than half what they'll be in three years.

[ArgSpursFan.]

my arms three years ago are more than half what they are now. and i'll bet that my arms now are more than half what they'll be in three years.

And I bet your brain we'll be half the size it is NOW, if you keep smoking whatever that is called.

Since the human growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland, I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised that Dwight Howard has developed, since his growth was predicted by just about everyone. The whole argument for picking him over Okafor before the draft was that he was going to grow into his frame and become a monster. Surprise.

Anyone can grow,that's for sure. And there are people whose body's can actually develope more muscles and frame tham others, but, what I'm talking about is the unnormal way and how fast.

But the abnormal way you are suggesting is a replication of what naturally occurs in the bodies of people Dwight Howard's age. If he were putting on this kind of mass at 35 like Roger Clemens, I'd understand the question. His body is secreting that hormone naturally; there's no reason to supplement it. What's the measuring stick? The only thing holding someone back from gaining muscle mass at that age is usually their frame and their metabolism. When Shawn Bradley was that age they couldn't put any pounds on him because his body burned up all the calories they fed him. I don't know that HGH would have helped him. Regardless, it's a far cry from Howard. Everybody knew Bradley was going to be pretty skinny no matter what, and anybody that looked at Howard when he was 17 knew he was going to fill out because his frame was so big.

Howard is NOT on any drugs, plain and simple.

i hope they let you graduate one day.

see, if my arms are the same size today as they were three years ago, then they are more than half the size that they were three years ago
