Lebron's real weight
Most nba weights are underreported, so you have people believing that big 7footers are 250 or something like that, while that's just their rookie weights.
Lebron has always been reported at 6'8, which is pretty accurate, that's what he is at his tallest in the morning, before being switched at a ridicolous 6'9 (what happened was he was measured at 6'8.5 with shoes on and then rounded to 6'9) 250. Now there have always been speculations, with rumors about him being as big as 280-90 at this heaviest, many believe he was around 270 in his miami days, and people mostly believing he's in that 255-60 range. At times I can even hear as low as 240. Now, my thing is: in his football scouting report i guess from junior year he was described as 6'8, 232, 4.6 40 yard dash. At the draft, he was measured at 6'7.25, 245 pounds. You remember how skinny he was as a rookie compared to now. You can't say he has only 5-10 pounds on that, especially at his heaviest. I guess Lebron grew from like 245 to slightly less than 260 by 2008, got a lot bigger, like slightly less than 270 in 2009 and 2010. maybe lost a little bit of weight, and then by 2012-14, around 275. For example there's a report of him going from 278 to 271 after a basketball game with the heat. Then he lost a lot of weight when he went on that diet, probably upper 250s his first year in cleveland, and restarted gaining weight, by 2018 i guess he was again close to 270, and I'd guess he's been hovering betweeb a good 260s and 275 in his lakers days.
I know it sounds like a lot but if he was 233 as a junior and 245 at the draft, the man has gootten immensely bigger than that, and again multiple weights are underreported or just rookie weights so you can be mislead. That would be my best guess based on size, reports, and measurements that we have. Lebron doesn't have the biggest arms or torso but he has huge legs and shoulders.

Re: Lebron's real weight
You think being measured at 6' 8" in the morning is plausible but 6' 8.5" is impossible? Ok chief.
Also, something that might surprise people. I think when it comes to athleticism, agility, physical attributes and skill I rate LeBron only in the top 50.

Lebron is probably 6'8 or 6'8.25 right out of bed. 6'7.5 is probably is morning height, 6'7.25 afternoon/evening and probably 6'7 or slightly more at a low. blablabla whatever but this is right comparing him to other players.

Re: Lebron's real weight
I think 260 ish is a pretty reasonable estimate. I seriously doubt he is going to allow 270 at this point because his body would just explode from the extra weight. Its remarkable how these guys can keep their weight so low despite being so tall. The cutoff for ufc heavyweights is 265 for context.

Re: Lebron's real weight
He was actually under listed weight wise a few times in his career starting from day one.
He weighed 245 lbs in the pre-draft measurement but got listed at 240 lbs for his rookie year. A couple years later they listed him at 250 lbs and that's what they've listed him since essentially.
In Miami he apparently got up to 272 lbs as per some reports, then in his return to Cleveland he very visually cut down in weight but I can't recall any official reports on his weight.

Prime Dwight wasn't even that heavy and LeBron has never been bigger than Dwight. Y'all gotta stop believing this stuff.

Re: Lebron's real weight
What does he weigh after a big meal? Or after that big dump the morning after?

Re: Lebron's real weight
Thankfully a whole lot more than me...although a few months ago I was starting to get pretty pudgy, but a few months of not eating, and some ridiculous amounts of excercise have gotten me back down into the "Not too bad with a shirt on, but please don't take your shirt off" range.

He looked 265 at his peak. Dwight was mostly muscle with little body fat.
LeBron was probably 255 at his heaviest imo.
