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.
