This is from another messageboard, I cant find the exact article but heres some quotes
"The first thing that hit me about him is the guy is huge," says assistant Olympic coach Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs. "I was shocked. He's thick and he's tall. He's just so much bigger than I thought he was."
Listed in the USA Basketball media guide at 6-8, 240, James looks about 2 inches taller and 10 pounds heavier and has a nearly perfect basketball build.

"He really understands the game," Popovich adds. "Some guys get it and some guys don't. This guy knows what's going on — spatial relationships on the court, where the ball should go, what's going on, what position to be in on the court to make a steal. He really understands how to play the game."
James is so good, in fact, that he doesn't even have a position.
"I just want him to play," says head coach Larry Brown. "He already knows how to run every position."
Apparently Lebron has grown to 6'10 and 250 Lbs.
He is going to be the greatest ever, simple..and im a Bulls fan. Theres no way a highschooler can come in anad average 21/6/6 and lead a scrub line up from 17 wins or whatever to 2 games out of the playoffs... he is unbelievable, its crazy because hes going to be just about the most perfect player, 6'10 PG/SG/SF with a huge body, amazing athleticism, hes shown he can shoot, he can defend, he can pass he can do everything...IMAGINE 5 YEARS DOWN THE TRACK.
Im scared just writing this, good luck to whoever tries to guard him this season.
