About LeBron James's height
The NBA lists LeBron James at 6 ft 9 in (206 cm). For much of his career he was listed at 6 ft 8 in, and the change came in October 2019, when the league began requiring teams to report precise player heights measured without shoes. That rule led to height adjustments for many players across the league.
