LeBron's height

[bdm860]

In spring, 2003 at age 18 LeBron measured (as Roy pointed out) 6'8 in shoes, with a 7'0.25" wingspan and an 8'10.25" standing reach, and he weighed 245 pounds.

In an interview this year (as LarBrd33 pointed out) LeBron said that he was now 6'9, 260 pounds.

To put that in perspective, Karl Malone was only 6'9, 250 pounds.

That's just bananas.

Of course if you ask Shaq, he'll tell you he's only 300, and Antoine will probably tell you right now that he's in the best shape of his life.  So you got to take what the players say with a grain of salt.

Then again... this is Lebron we're talking about/ I would believe any height/weight I heard about him.

Bottom line, he is the best athlete in the league with respect to the 5 major categories: size, speed, quickness, strength, and body control. He's the ultimate basketball package, with above average/good skills.

I'm curious, what is the age when you stop growing?

This question has so much potential for abusive and hilarious answers that I don't know where to start

Lebron is probably 6'9. Howard is listed taller than he really is. I think Howard is about 6'9 and a half.

LeBron would be like 7'4" if they straightened his legs out.
