It's been 2 weeks since Kevin Garnett said that Lebron James is on steroids / PEDs. And yet the biggest sports media outlets remain mouse quiet on the topic - despite having the perfect opportunity to do so once Lebron hit 40,000 points.

It's completely reasonable to question whether Lebron using performance enhancing drugs while he is achieving records and milestones no one else has and still playing at a high level in his 21st NBA season at age 39.
Here is the timestamped clip in question from the KG Certified edition of the All the Smoke podcast:
