LeBron James apparently carries more than his weight in the NBA playoffs.
During an Eastern Conference Finals appearance with the Heat, LeBron reportedly gained 7 pounds during a game, according to ESPN.
LeBron's Heat teammates swear they couldn't believe what they saw on the scale — LeBron allegedly went from 271 pounds up to 278.
Normally in a game that involves constantly running around and sweating, some could lose weight. This apparently wasn't the case for LeBron.

The NBA superstar shrugged when asked about the incident, calling it "weird as hell," ESPN reported.
Aside from being arguably the best player in the NBA for years, the 33-year-old also made a name for himself through his ability to remain healthy.
Since entering the NBA in 2003, LeBron has never played fewer than 60 games in a season. In 2015, back problems threatened to derail the superstar, but he was able to fix his back thanks to work with a specialist.
