AP Report - LeBron James has grown

[Cry Havoc]

He is now 6'9" and 260 pounds, according to Marc Stein.

Insane.

"We're indeed going to bring this up again because it got so little coverage when he mentioned it and because we're hearing that it's 100-percent true: LeBron (yikes) says he's grown an inch and 20 pounds to 6-9, 260."

[Xylus]

That's pretty scary. And it doesn't look like he's lost any bit of his agility despite that extra poundage.

[bdictjames]

Its 1-inch.

Best 6'9 player ever?

[batboy]

If I'm the Pistons this scares the hell out of me. God knows Prince and Hamilton aren't getting any bigger.

[SpursDynasty]

Does this mean he'll win 1 more game in the Finals rather than getting swept?

[stretch]

It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile... winning's winning!

[JamStone]

Yes, he's 6-foot-9... and he'll consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse.

Why? LeBron hasn't grown this year. He just is finally publicly saying his true height and weight. He's been 6-9 and 260 for about 2-3 years now. With the way LeBron has been playing, the Pistons should have already been scared at how good LeBron is. Not based on his height and weight.

[Cry Havoc]

He certainly gave it to you last year without using any lube.

[Dex]

Maybe that will be the inch he needs to get a win in the Finals?

[Medvedenko]

Best 6'9 player for me is Magic...but Lebron is off the charts as well.

[TampaDude]

When he's on, LeBron is fucking unstoppable...he has a chance of spoiling the Celtics and Pistons ECF party...we'll see what happens in the playoffs...it should be interesting...

Lebron is better than any player on the Spurs. It just kills you, eh.

[SpursDynasty]

Lebron is better than any player on the Spurs. It just kills you, eh.

Yet he couldn't buy a win against them in the Finals.

LeBron is a joke, always has been. I've never taken him seriously from day 1 in the league.

America, eatin' my lunch from a single bowl in my parents basement, where I'm livin'. Happy Birthday, I'm forty-three.

Don't want to waste those precious calories...chewin'. Jesus come move my jaw for me, help me make this sloppy pile of food go DOWN.

WTH is all that supposed to mean. You keep typing it.

That I'm 43? Try 20 years younger, and I don't live with my parents. If that's what you're suggesting.

easy. The Pistons have shown they are able to stop Lebron whenever they want

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Lebron's a goddamn medical marvel.

[BonnerDynasty]

Evolution.



Witness.

[JamStone]

Who's more of a freak of nature?

LeBron James, Allen Iverson, or Dwight Howard?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I'd say they all have their strongpoints but I'd have to say Lebron is the most impressive.

AI averages 40 + minutes and still performs at a high level. I don't get it.

Dwight Howard reminds me of D. Rob. but pretty much has the hops that defies anatomy.

Lebron James is like a superhero. He seems so well-rounded athletically and physically. He should fight crime.

[JamStone]

I can't explain Allen Iverson for the life of me. He might be only 5-foot-10, has not slowed down hardly at all, and has the endurance of a cross country Olympian. It makes no sense whatsoever. He doesn't even look like he spends any time in the weight room. To me, he's more of a freak of nature than either LeBron or Dwight. And, LeBron and Dwight are unbelievable freaks of nature.

I remember when Larry Brown was in Philly and I think he was trying to get AI to work out and put some pounds of muscle on to absorb the beating he'd take. Then the first season after Larry left I think Iverson finally starting lifting over that off season. Not sure if he still does, but you could be right in saying Iverson doesn't get in the weight room at all.

I am always skeptical when it comes to NBA players heights. Nobody still seems to know how tall Duncan is. Some say he is about 7'0, i have also read he is more like 6'10 yet i see him next to Lebron and he has like 3 or 4 inches on him and he is supposed to be 6'9. I heard for years that Charles Barkley was about 6'4 yet my friend who is 6'5 met him and told me he was shorter than Barkley. :dizzy

has he grown some balls to make free throws late in games and not airball them like he did in finals last year

Lebron and Melo were both 6ft 6.25 at pre draft, but nba heights are listed with shoes and often rounded up. Lebron is probably 6ft 9 in his size 18 shoes, but about 6ft 7 barefoot, making him 3 inches shorter than a 6ft 10 Duncan. I remember Shaq saying in an interview that he was actually 6ft 11.75, and he has about a couple of inches on Duncan when they stand next to each other.

[KidCongo]

can he play in the post then please?

[Heath Ledger]

Little doe Bron Bron know the Pistons will be deploying the "Bron Bron" rules against him come playoff time. Every time he drives to the basket he is going to get knocked on hiss @ss. Theo Ratliff challenges him to come into the paint.

[TampaDude]

H.G.H!!

Jagerbombs!!! :lol

[Fillmoe]

roids

[batboy]

Who's going to run the offense? But yeah I bet he could, just like Magic. If his defense continues to develop he may be guarding centers against certain teams.
