Re: How much do you think Karl Malone weighed?
If Lebron is 250 then late 90s Malone is probably 300.
Malone was significantly bigger than Lebron. Malone was closer to Shaq than to Lebron in weight imo.

Re: How much do you think Karl Malone weighed?
I wanna say LeBron was measured at 254 during the 2004 Olympics. And there was a reporter who covered the Cavs who claimed to be in the facility When he weighed in at 273 at his biggest. A 20 Pound swing for somebody his height isn’t that noticeable. Regular people can be seven or 8 pounds different just depending on how hydrated they are. So I can accept LeBron was once about 270 and that late career Karl was about that size or a little bigger.
They all look lot more muscular next to traditionally lanky basketball players than when they stand next to other people who work out though. When was wrestling he didn’t look particularly musclebound. He just looked long as hell.
they carry a lot of weight just off the height.

Lebron has thicker legs than Malone and legs make up most of your weight.

Yeah legs and core are most of your weight, but people just look at biceps because that’s what you can see. A lot of basketball players are toothpicks with arms attached.

Lebrons shoulders are also extremely impressive. He has super hero deltoids.

You just have to use common sense here.
Karl Malone could guard centers and would no doubt be a center today, Lebron has struggled to guard power forwards like David West and gets ragdolled by a proper center like Jokic.

There's no way MVP Malone wasn't like 270-280.
There's 6'2 slobs in the UFC that weigh 270. And we know muscle weighs more than fat.
I could believe the fast, more fastbreak/transition oriented Malone of the late 80's being closer to 260 or so.
LeBron's a weird one. He's definitely bigger than the average wing in his prime, but 40 pounds heavier? However Miami LeBron in the middle of the stint was visibly bigger than Tim Duncan in the 13 finals. Humongous size for a SF.

He'd play some center but the 4 would still be the best spot for him

Oakley somewhat insinuated Malone was juiced, after Barkley insinuated Oakley was juiced.
I think it's in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFpE0M0hWJE
