I remember when he was with the Lakers and they were trying to say he was 300lbs at one point in his career. He had to be at least 350-375. The numbers they put out are rarely accurate. Even the height numbers aren't reliable.
There is no fucking way shaq is 325 lbs right now. He is 350-360 minimum. And the number of injuries just this year can give you a clue as to what kind of shape he is actually in.

Yes, some teams do purposely mislabel height and weight, I am aware of that oh great Yoda of the NBA. That is not the case since Shaq has been in Miami. Pat Riley has always rode him about his weight and body fat percentage, and those aren't numbers that were pulled out of the outdated Miami Heat press guide. Those were the official numbers in the physical he took with the Phoenix Suns, and they coincide with the numbers Pat Riley often released to the Miami Herald and Sun-Sentinel. If you think Shaq is 350-360 right now you obviously haven't taken a look at him lately, as he is the slimmest he has ever been with Miami...
