Lebron's real weight

[Gibson22]

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.

Per that report: "Some Heat teammates saw the scale and attest to it in amazement. James himself just shrugs and calls it 'weird as hell.' The truly wild part is that it was from 271 pounds to 278 pounds, though James is much lighter these days."

The thing about LeBron and weight is that he has huge legs and thus why he can bounce off dudes so easily and jump so high. Also why he looked so skinny as a rookie but still weighed 240(which was a huge weight for a wing back then). I recall an interview he did for GQ that I read while in an airport in 2013 where he talked a lot about changing his body to suit the system there and how he gained weight and muscle. The number he gave for the heaviest he was playing at was 273 I believe. So ya I think he was at about 260-263 in 2009-2010, then gained 10lb in the 2011-2013 period, then started slimming down n 2014 back to about 260, then a bit more to about 250-255 since then. He's lost a lot of muscle in his upper body for sure.
