He never had a strong team around him in Philly and was horribly mistreated by Billy King's front office. Keeping in mind he took a team of nobodies to the NBA finals, I think it's a bit disrespectful to assume that a lack of height would have garnered significantly more accolades. The man is a top 30 in league scoring, and top 50 in assists in NBA history. Lebron isn’t standing straight in this one belowįrost said on I highly doubt an additional boost in height would have impacted his accolades. I also say I don’t know when because Melo could’ve grown a fraction since he was drafted being I saw him in 2016. bogans and I are the same height in person so if he’s less than those measurements it’s prob a solid 6’4” but no less. I don’t know what time of day the measurements were held in 2003 when Lebron and Melo were drafted, but in 20 Keith Bogans measured 6’4.5 and 6’4.25 respectively. I’m not even sure that he dips under 6’6” to be honest. That could probably cover 6’5 7/8” if he measured 6’6.25 in the morning or after laying around, but that’s it. Next to Melo, he doesn’t look but half inch taller at times. But I could see Lebron being below 6’7” as well. Even slightly over 7’ could mean that he’s slightly under if the measurement occurred in the morning. Shaq supposedly measured slightly over 7’0” barefoot and then saw that he measured slightly “almost 7’1” in shoes. I’ve seen ambiguity in the supposed measurements. Shaq could still be a hair under 7’ at a low if he measured just over 7’ of course depending on what time of the day. 5” I could definitely buy as that’s how they normally look together. He slimmed down to around 260 give or take after leaving Miami.Ĭanson said on I doubt Shaq has 6” on Lebron or more. He was more like 265-270 range with Miami and his last few years before leaving Cleveland the first time. I think Lebron got uncomfortable with people talking about his weight so much because he was 245 pre-draft when he was A LOT thinner. 240 is way too low for his weight, though. But considering many think NBA heights are close to legit, it's not surprising some thought he actually was that tall. I heard the 6'9" figure for Lebron for a while after he claimed it, but it's too high even for a shoe height, unless he borrowed Spencer Hawes' shoes. At his size, he could probably measure higher than that range out of bed and a bit below it at his absolute low. My theory is the latter was early while the former was more noonish give or take or midday. As for Shaq's measurements, I've never heard of a shoe measurement, but some sources seem to put him at the 7'0"-7'0.25" range, but he's also supposed to have measured around 7'0.75". As I said, I think Shaq is 7'0"-7'0.5" range so he might have had his orthotics in. ![]() Lebron comes up to the lower part of Shaq's nose here too: Click Here Taken together, Shaq genuinely does look 6" taller. Lebron is actually slightly closer to the camera in the full pic I posted and Shaq is standing loose in that. Rising - 174 cm said on That still looks about 6" to me in that back to back photo: Click Here I may even be counting some hair, but Shaq's eye level would have to be at least 5" from the top of his head and Lebron is well below that. He'll probably stay healthy after his retirement, but even still, he'll probably jump up to 280 without the daily grind of competing to be the best in the world at a sport. I bet he's been 260-270 the majority of his career. ![]() Which is why he never looks small no matter who he's standing next to. (Zion's ppl should be calling LeBron's ppl yesterday for tips on this) If anything, he probably avoids anything that'll unnecessarily add weight(stress) to his joints. I suspect LeBron has a muscular body type but doesn't have the type of heavier muscles you'd get from weight training. Both vases look full but one would be heavier and you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking. It's like if you had identical vases, and one was filled with water and the other was filled with lead. Simply because muscle weighs more than fat and people can look muscular and not actually have dense muscles. To all the folks debating LeBrons weight, it really is impossible to know how much someone weighs off a photo.
