On Wednesday's episode of the "Club 520 Podcast," Teague and his co-hosts talked about which version of James was the best. The former Atlanta Hawks star chose Miami's version, while claiming James used steroids.

"Miami Heat Bron, he was on steroids bro," Teague said. "He had to sit out, he was on steroids for real. Like, legit was on steroids, allegedly.
"But he had to sit out... Y'all don't remember that though? He got everybody -- They started testing for HGH and he had to sit out. He said his back was hurting and he sat out for 3 weeks then came back skinny."

However, James never missed three weeks of action during his time with the Heat. His longest streak of missed games was during the 2012-13 NBA season, when he missed three consecutive games from March 31 to April 5.

Additionally, the league started testing for HGH during the 2015-16 season, which was James's second season with Cleveland after returning from the Heat.
