Lebron's real weight

[Gibson22]

And you actually believe he was 272?

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

That's the thing. There is no way dwight was less than 270

How much did you think he weight?


He looked 265 at his peak. Dwight was mostly muscle with little body fat.

LeBron was probably 255 at his heaviest imo.

285 imho? But again, I can not believe the reports but the draft measurements are true and lebron was 245 there, and also the junior football scouting report at 233 I would be surprised if they would put a random 233 there. 2010 or 2013 lebron don't have 10 pounds on rookie lebron

He's only big height wise and he's only big body wise by how the NBA markets players. In reality, he's damn thin and not that built at all.

Thin is a stretch but yeah it's his shoulders that make him look bigger with a jersey on. But his lower body is big as hell. Lebron has big shoulders, pretty big arms, a pretty normal torso and big lower body.

Bro these basketball players. They are lean and athletic bodies. There is no way Dwight was moving like that at 285 pounds.lol

That's Embiid territory. Dwight just didn't have that kind of weight at any point in his career imo.

[SeattleJazzFan]

probably sitting at about 265

Yet people think this dude is 275 lol


That looks like a lean 240.

Spoken like someone who hasn't seen LeBron in person. Dude has tree trunks for legs.

Do me a favor and look up focal lengths in photography.

The OP is also wrong. He's measured at 6 9 without shoes. He was originally 6 8 before the NBA mandated you do measurements without shoes. I don't know how strictly that mandate is followed, but he actually gained an inch. It holds up when you see him standing next to Dwight and AD. Those guys aren't 7 footers, but closer to 6 9 and 6 10. LeBron was straight up Dwight's height.

OK so he has big legs...he is very tall and he has a big body structure. But beyond that, he's got almost no weight on his frame at all. Big legs, whatever. There is no way he weighs 265, 270, 275, and such weights that some posts are throwing around here.

Even at 6-8, or 6-9 or whatever exact height, he's clearly not that weight.

Honestly I have no concept of lbs above 200 since I'm a small person myself, so maybe the bigger people can chime in. But for context, Kevin Durant purportedly weighed 205 in his rookie year and now weighs 240. I find that too high myself, but sheer height adds to your weight with all the bone mass. Chet Holmgren was listed at 195 coming in. If we take that to be truth, I don't find it unreasonable that LeBron can weigh 260. He's been bulldozing the whole league around for 20 years and basically broke Chet on a regular fastbreak.

[JonFromVA]

I don't really see anything to doubt here. The general belief was that he did gain some height after entering the league as well as quite a bit of weight that's fluctuated.

[Bank Shot]

I'd buy something around 270 at his heaviest. He is enormous in person. I walked past him and Melo at the London Olympics and it is incredible how wide LeBron is. Melo is huge and LeBron made him look thin.

Yeah you don't get an appreciation of just how big these people are from photos or even on TV. You have to see them in person. A 10lb fluctuation for regular people would present very differently than on people with such huge frames. Bones contribute about 14% of body weight, and 6 9 is 15% taller than the average American man. Nearly a fifth of that height difference alone contributes to weight.

When I go to games I normally try to sit near the tunnel. He's taller than I expected. 6'9 at least.

Dwight said he was 275 lbs at his peak but he was all upper body, skinny legs/thighs.



LeBron carries a lot of weight in his legs




As I mentioned LeBron was weighed as 245 lbs at 18 in the draft, did he put on 20+ lbs or so into his Miami days very believable. He looks like he's been maintaining his weight in the 250s since entering his 30s which is smart.

[SNPA]

He isn’t 6’9’’. That’s dumb.

He floats between 250-275. When you’re that tall a five pound swing is nothing. It literally happens each day. One gallon of water is 8 pounds, sweating, eating drinking…he does not weigh a single amount. He weighs in a range.

He's not wrong, Lebron looks HUUUUGE in real life. in pics/video his arms look 'skinny' and don't them justice but he's very dense all around.

He has big shoulders which is known but he also has a wide back and huge legs. That's where most of his body weight comes from. Biceps are one of the smaller muscle groups on the body (and he has less need to develop them as he's a b ball player not a bodybuilder nor fighter). Quads/Hams/ glutes/calves being the biggest and heaviest and which he possess a large amount of for his height. So look at it like Bron is a large man everywhere but his arms/chest and his 260-270 figure makes more sense.

[Roy T]

Same as Trump.

BS. Lebron is not a freakish physical specimen like Donald.

Trump has the best genetics. It's true. He has great genes. The best genes. Believe me.

[JN61]

Same as Trump.

That man really said he was 6'3 215

Prime Terrell Owens body.

To be fair fat is less dense than muscle. So while he is lying he probably isn't lying a lot for a 5'11/6 feet old man. Also has less dense bones but that probably doesnt drop wright more than few hundred grams at most.

Muscle weight more than fat you're correct, but Trump has a lot of fat. He's definitely over 250 pounds.

I saw Raymond Felton at a gas station back in 2018. Dude was a tank in person. NBA players are much more bigger in person for sure.
