LeBron James, 274 pounds?!?

[Liqourish]

^That gif illustrates just why Lebron James is the greatest NBA athlete of all time sans Shaq.

Please, a number of guys can do that. Amir Johnson did it in highschool but from behind the free throw line, not a foot inside it like Lebron did.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn61mR6C0ko It's the last dunk on the video, check where he steps before he goes up.

I'm not saying Lebron isn't a freak of nature or couldn't be 274lbs, but dunking from the free throw line doesn't make anyone the greatest of all time.

He could easily do it from behind the line though. Amir in the video has to extend his arm and gets it in just on the edge of the rim, Jordan did the same thing. Lebron didnt extend at all was well inside the basket(the rim is big enough to fit 2 basketballs)

[MAQ]

lebron's wider than you and he's 9 inches taller...

if you were 245 in that pic...i can see lebron being 274...

Give or take a few pounds I was around 240-245. LeBron is not a bodybuilder, he's a basketball player. Trust me, he's not wider than me

no, he is wider than you

i dont mean his muscles are bigger...i mean his frame is wider than yours...

your upper body is huge, but from the pic you posted it seems as if your waste is a 26 lol

lebron's waste doesnt slim down...

[prekazi]

Clash of the Titans: LeBron vs DieselCeltic LOL!

[infinite11285]

I believe it. He's at 5% body fat and btw, muscle is much heavier than fat so it's feasible. For the past couple of years we've heard these type of reports from multiple sources now, all of these people can't be lying. Besides, why would the Cavs lie about his weight? Isn't the consensus around the league heavier = slower?

[J-Mezzy]

Lebron himself said it was a rumor. It is not true. Either some of the weight for other players is mistaken or his is. I'll go with his. I am with DieselCeltic here. I have been around some body builders back when I was younger(not me). No way this guy is 274. No way.

[Baller 24]

Damn, so 5% body fat, runs a 4-4, has a reported 44 inch vertical, 7'0 wingspan, and I thought all of that was impressive for a player shorter than Dwight, weighing just as much as him (260-265), but if you add 10 LBS to make him 274 LBS...then I'm just wowed.

Didn't see that previous post. Then I wonder if it's true that LeBron is truely 6' 9". He himself said he has grown to 6'9" last year but his listed height hasn't changed since he came into the league.

Whatever you say

[Nothingface]

What's not to believe? Well, that he can do some of the things he does at that weight for one thing...

I believe that is his weight. I weigh 270 lbs myself, but most people guess 220 or less. Lebron has strong legs and is thicker through the middle than someone like Dwight Howard.

And like Eddie Curry is less than 350 lbs... Yeah right!

[J-Mezzy]

Lebron is quickly becoming today's Wilt. In 30 years, people will say he could kiss the top of the back board and bone a chick from across the street.

Lebron the legendary man.

I love Lebron's game. He is the best in the game, but come on. The worshiping has to be controlled

This is the second report that said the same thing - Jon Barry reported the same last week. The report was 274 with 5% body fat.

btw: LeBron had an in game foul line dunk tonight (foot just over the foul line).

Oh he is a freak, no doubt about that...but 274? come on.

This is a list of guys Lebron is easily heavier than according to reports:

Karl Malone: 6-9 256 pounds

Dwight Howard 6-11 265 pounds

Andrew Bynum 7'0 275 pounds

Greg Oden 7'0 270 pounds is the last report

Lebron is not bigger than he was last year. He looks the same to me. Again, I don't see how he could possibly be 274 pounds and as big or bigger than the mentioned above.

Sorry, I don't see it. He could be thick boned, but did his bones get thicker along with his muscles? I don't see the size difference from last year

While I don't think it's true, you have to take notice that some people have condensed muscles. There are people who may weigh the same or more than people who may have muscles that may appear to be more bulging.

But yeah I'd probably guess he's closer to 265 which is still amazing for a guy who can move like that

Come on, tell me when he does that in real game...after 40 minutes of NBA basketball. And LeBron had insane reserve on that dunk, he would have EASILY dunk it even BEHIND the free throw line..

I am a fitness coordinator and a fitness specialist, current bodybuilder. I work for Sports Club LA and hold multiple personal training certificates. No way on this EARTH is LeBron James 274lbs. Even though he is what 6'9, his frame and bone structure doesn't allow him to be at %5 bodyfat with his 6'9 frame. Media is trying to boost him that's all. All WWE wrestlers get the same attention. I know Dave Batista personally. He even told me WWE's cameras add more weight to his frame and in real life he is 280lbs, while WWE bills him at 315lbs. You're gonna tell me LeBron James is bigger than Batista. Take a look at Brock Lesnar in UFC. 285LBS but in UFC they say he's actually 265lbs. Is LeBron bigger than Brock Lesnar now ?? And also, LeBron is not 5% bodyfat. Most IFBB Professional Bodybuilders are btw 2% and 5% bf...are you going to tell me LeBron is bigger than Jay Cutler or Ronnie Coleman ROFL....media is so funny these days.

I'd love to see how much LeBron can squat, deadlift and bench press. Anyone knows what is workout regimen is ?

And here's a picture of me at 6', 245lbs 11% bodyfat - Trust me I do know what I'm talking about

and

You are not taking into account height or wing span. Brock Lesnar is a midget compared to Lebron James. Lebron doesn't have to have as bulging muscles as Brock Lesnar to weigh as much as him. Same for Batista.

[ropjhk]

Either way, Lebron is built like the strongest power forwards, has the speed of the quickest wing players and has the skills of the most skill point guards.

It's the perfect body for a basketball player.

Come on. Bron is 6'9" 274. Batista is 6'6" 290. That's three inches right there and an inch makes a world of difference. Brock Lesnar is 6'3" 265. That's a six inch difference. Jay Cutler is 5'9" 274 in season and 310 off season. That's a foot right there. Ronnie Coleman is 5'11" 292 in season and 330 off season. That's 10 inches. You got to take height into consideration when comparing how big a person is. Do you really think
King James

is bigger than

or

[RalphWiggum]

He's probably about 260 pounds naturally and 274 with all the ink.

Hey Diesel, I find it odd that you claim to be 6 ft and you weight 245 with a bf of 11%.
You know why casue Im 6.1 and in this pic I weight 227 with a bf of 10% so Im sort of surprised that who ever the person is in the picture should be well around 260+. Cause the person in the pic is pretty huge and I do work out as you can see and let just say I do work out with certain peps in the bodybuilding industry and I know that the guy in the pic isnt 245.

[cowboys4life]

WOW its not fat
