LeBron James joined forces with Dwyane Wade when he took his talents to South Beach. The two were accompanied by Chris Bosh as well and they made a ‘Big Three’ in Miami that was dominant for years to come. The Heat’s front office did a great job adding players and veteran talent to surround these three players. One of which was veteran point guard Mike Bibby. Bibby had the opportunity to play with three All-Stars, something he wasn’t privy to before.

Recently, Bibby made an appearance on All The Smoke. He sat down with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson to talk about various things related to his 16-year-long NBA career. One of which was his experience playing with LBJ.
To that, Bibby said, “He’s like, superhuman. He probably weighed about…he was probably the heaviest guy on the team, running that fast and jumping that high. I needed some of that stuff, whatever it was.”
“He was the heaviest on the team and to be able to jump that high and run that fast, it was unseen.” And to put things in context, during his first year in Miami, LeBron James weighed 250 lbs.
