Alright, let’s talk about this fella, LeBron James. You know, the basketball player? Folks always wanna know how big he is, like it’s the most important thing. Well, I’ll tell ya what I heard.
They say he’s 6 foot 9 inches tall. That’s a whole lotta man, lemme tell ya. Back in my day, ain’t nobody was that tall, ‘cept maybe the giant at the county fair. But this LeBron, he’s a giant on the basketball court, that’s for sure.
Now, some folks say he ain’t exactly 6’9″, more like 6’8″ and a half. But you know how these things go, they round it up, make him sound even bigger. Like when the butcher gives you a little extra meat on the bone, only in reverse. Anyway, 6’9″ is what they say, and that’s what we’ll stick with.
And what about his weight? That’s another thing people are always yapping about. Well, it ain’t easy being that tall and strong, gotta have some meat on your bones. They say he’s around 250 pounds. That’s a heavy fella, ain’t it? But he needs that weight, you know, to push and shove and get those points. Basketball ain’t no sissy game, gotta be strong to play.
- Height: 6 foot 9 inches (or maybe 6’8 1/2″, but who’s countin’?)
- Weight: About 250 pounds (that’s a lot of muscle, I tell ya!)
He wasn’t always this big, though. I heard tell he was a skinny little thing when he was young. Like, 6 foot 2 inches when he was just a freshman in high school. Can you imagine? A beanpole! But then he grew, and grew, and grew, like a weed in the springtime. By the time he was a grown man, bam! He was this giant basketball player everyone talks about.
And boy, can he play! I don’t watch much basketball myself, all that runnin’ and jumpin’ makes me tired just lookin’ at it. But even I know LeBron James is somethin’ special. They say he scores a lot of points, gets lots of rebounds, and passes the ball real good. Sounds like he knows what he’s doin’ out there.
I saw a game on the TV once, when my grandson was visitin’. LeBron was runnin’ up and down that court like a young buck. Scorin’ left and right, passin’ the ball like it was nothin’. And them other fellas, they couldn’t hardly keep up with him. He’s like a force of nature, that LeBron.
So, yeah, 6’9″ and 250 pounds. That’s a big man. But it ain’t just the size, you know? It’s the heart, the hustle, the determination. That’s what makes a fella a real player. And from what I hear, LeBron’s got all that and more. He’s been playin’ for a long time, too. Years and years, still goin’ strong. That’s somethin’ to admire, ain’t it?
He plays for the Los Angeles Lakers now, I think. Used to play somewhere else, but I can’t keep track of all them teams. Too many names, too many places. But wherever he plays, he’s the one folks are watchin’. He’s the star, the big man, the one they all look up to, both literally and figuratively, ha!
So, there you have it. LeBron James’ height and weight, straight from the horse’s mouth, well, sort of. I ain’t measured him myself, but I’ve heard enough to know he’s a big ‘un. And a darn good basketball player, too. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about basketball has made me hungry!
