Wilt vs Shaq - Physical Comparison

[Malta]

I'm as big a Bron fan as they come but he is the most e-statted player of all time. I've heard Jeff Van Gundy say with a straight face that he thinks Bron is 6'9", 280-290.

LeBron is at most 240 lbs and I only give him that because his lower body is huge, pause. Look at his thigh in comparison to Wade and CP.

LeBron was 245lbs as a rookie, these guys are weighed at the combine and he's considerably bigger today than he was when he was 18.

You're looking at people that are essentially giants and trying to guess their weight based on pictures, if you saw Bron in person it's different than pics.

6"0/211 at the moment but I've been slacking lately. You?

6'4" 226. nikkas is about to go on the winter bulk though so it's chipmunk mode for the next 3 months. Finally ending my run as a natural.

You do realize that Adrian Peterson is listed at 220 because that's what he wants to be listed at, right? That's not how much that man actually weighs. After they weigh you in the team physical the team doctor's will ask you how much you want to weigh in the team guide. He weighed 220 when he came out of college and I doubt he still weighs the same weight after 8 years of working out to stay in the NFL. I imagine it's the same type of thing happening in the NBA because ain't no one alive gonna convince Lebron James is only 250 lbs. He's more like 280

Same with Chris Paul dude has been listed at 175 since he came out of Wake Forest knowing damn well he closer to 200 pounds.

I don't trust pre-draft measurement figures to be honest.

They regularly lists guys at 6 percent bodyfat and lower. Jared Sullinger was listed at 10percent, which is shredded with abs.

I'm just trying to let you know how it works when you reference the height and weight that's listed. I'm 6'4" 259 lbs and even professional trainers think I'm 220 at the most just by an eye test. Bron got 4 inches on me height wise and I know he's got more muscle mass than me at this point in life so I'm pretty comfortable saying he's a solid 280 at least, but we can agree to disagree

They're just doing body calipers for fat measurements and probably 1 or 2 sites at most, the weights are accurate because they routinely shyt on guys that are overweight (Renardo Sidney / Dexter Pitman) . The weights aren't for marketing purposes, the GMs take that into account....

He was allegedly 290 at the time, Kansas City Chiefs coach timed it - wanted him to play:

Later in his career Wilt was easily 300. In his prime going against Russell I'd give him 260- 275 and later going against Alcindor he was 280+ until retirement. In this pic for "Conan", Arnold was 235 (Google) and Andre the Giant was listed at 520 (Google), look at Wilt he's easily 300+.

FYI: Karl Malone was never listed as 270, it was always 256 to be exact.

In that specific picture Wilt's weight is actually known to be exactly 327lbs:

 

[RedBull]

Bron isn't 270-280 and I don't think he's ever been. I'd give him 250-260 the most, probably 240 right now. Look at Lebron close to player his height, he's not much bigger than them, he's not bulky, he has very broad shoulders. Put Lebron next to Karl Malone who was big and chiseled and Karl is bigger than him and more muscular. NOT BY A LOT.

Every year for the last 6 years I've had a goal physique. And every year for the last 6 years, once I hit that goal, I'm only satisfied for a few months before I decide I can be better. When does it end?

I love this shyt though.

 

[RedBull]

Bron was never over 260.

 

[Liquid]

Bron was never over 260.

I do think LeBron was right at 270 near the end of his run at Cleveland,

That South Beach diet got him slim. You know, no carbs yet still eating potatoes or whatever dumb shyt he said
