Dream Team 4: Golden State Warriors

[The Process God]

Thanks.


This is pedantic, but id argue the body fat percentages used, not that it really matters. What you are saying is correct.

Theres also variance in limb length.

But ultimately yes, the formula plus consideration for lbm is your answer. Shaq vs lebron adjusted for height isnt the entire answer. His 190 will look different than lebrons. Easily

Eta: i weigh 200. Fix your stuff. Loljk

I remember hearing body fat percentages for LeBron and Shaq before from somewhere, and I thought you had listed yourself at 180, 11%, 5'11".

Hard to see shaqs bf, doubt theres many shirtless pics of when he was slimmer.

My weight years ago was 180.

Lbj wasnt 265 entering the league which is whats being discussed

Shaq had very low body fat percentage for his size. Dude was IN crazy shape in his dominant stretch.

Hence my TL;DR comment. But my formula should be a sufficient dick measurer. Have at it.

i doubt anyone is following, but I just didnt want people to misunderstand what you were writing and looking at the conclusion rather than the methodology.

depends on which version of shaq we're talking about. his weight ranged from 270 to 370.

Im not very good at analyzing bf% by shoulder and arm striations, best way is to look at abs.

on a normal person, i'd say this is about 20%, maybe higher. Itd be so high you wouldnt focus on it until you lost weight (if you were bodybuilding for example). But theres more to disentangle, because someone with a large amount of muscle mass but also a large amount of bodyfat is going to look like they have a soft midsection, and their bodyfat percentage could very well be at 15%. Same when considering bone mass of a large individual

10% bodyfat could be necessary to see abdominal muscles on an individual with low lean mass. 100 pound guy would have 10 lbs of muscle, which first and primarily manifests in the midsection. A 7 foot tall man with 100 lbs of lean body mass weighing in at 300lbs could be 10% bodyfat, and abs may not be apparent. thats 30lbs of fat, again, that first manifests in the midsection.

the man in my avatar looks huge, right? well, he's only 155 here, iirc, and around 5'10. If you put a shirt on him, he'd be swimming in it.

Look at lebron in a shirt or streetclothes. He doesn't look huge. He does in a jersey, surrounded by a bunch of lean nba players (which is practically all of them).


1. unintimidating lebron.

2. genuinely fing big lebron.

3. a litte bigger than a normal person lebron.

Klay Thompson's interviews are just ridiculous. Always making some airhead comments. Dude must smoke some good shit:

If you start around 1:50... starts talking about how the Spurs have changed... Kawhi the leader, LMA, Pau, "Parker" (as if he's not injured), "I think Patty Mills is still on the team..."

This is after he says he watched the 2nd of half of the last Spurs game. As if he did not notice Mills out there?

What's LeBron supplements?

What's LeBron supplements?

Arm chairing is irresponsible - psychological diagnosis to hypothesis of ones supplements. Ive seen incredible gains out of ppl without gear. Massive. Lebron has outlier genetics. People go bald.

Hi Realcavsfans posters! I'm Mary Lou Retton, America's sweetheart and winner of multiple gold medals in women's gymnastics! But I'm not smiling because of that! I'm smiling because Realcavsfans poster Dave just proved, using MATH, that I'm built just as big as Lebron James and Shaquille O'Neal! Yes, l'il ol me, at 4'9" and 95 pounds, is bigger than almost everybody who ever played in the NBA! But you know who I'm NOT built bigger than? Realcavsfans poster DAVE, that's who! He's the biggest guy ever, if you know what I mean! Tee hee!

Hi Realcavsfans posters! It's me, Isaiah Thomas! Hey, I know we've had our differences in the past. To be honest, you guys have said some pretty mean, nasty things about me and my game. But right now I'm coming by to thank you, because you've helped me feel a lot more confident about my chances if I make it through to the next round. I was pretty nervous thinking about playing Lebron James, everybody says the dude is built like a tank. But now that Realcavsfans poster DAVE has proved, using math, that I'm actually BIGGER than Lebron James I feel a lot better! Actually I'm built bigger and stronger than anyone in the Cavs lineup, except for that Kay Felder dude, the biggest guy on the Cavs roster according to DAVE'S math formulas. But we all know Kay won't even get off the bench!

David. Post a pic of your physique. I'll tell you if you are bigger than Bron.

Also, it's much harder to bulk the taller you are. You can't adjust his height and weight to how much a 5'9 Lebron would weigh..

Lebron has a huge shoulder width, you can't tell me that you are as wide as him, that's ridiculous.

..no. Thats exactly not what im saying. Lxwxh adjusts for that bud. Think about that.Stay with me here.

No offense but i really dont trust your opinion as an expert 1. Because of your reasoning thus far and 2. I am just ad capable of determining "who is bigger than who".

Do you always shitpost when you realize you're wrong?

Is this huge?

Who looks bigger, genius?

Thanks for providing the picture tha effectively killed your own argument.

Tag me if you actually want a response next time. I understand if you dont

Don't care that much about it and i'm not that great at math so have at it.

As far as LeBron's weight goes, his legs are freaking huge, like tree trunks. He's just built different than your normal NBA player.
