LeBron James is one of the most physically gifted athletes in history, officially listed at 6-foot-9 and weighing around 250 pounds. Ausar and Amen Thompson wanted to be like James so much that they wrote “69” on their bed growing up to try and become as tall as “The King.”

Speaking on “The Young Man and the Three” podcast, the Thompson twins opened up about their childhood. Their parents weren’t over six feet, so they had put the numbers “69” all over their bed to be 6-foot-9 like James.
“We wanted to be tall,” Ausar said. “My mom’s like 5’6″, my dad’s like 5’11”. So we wrote like ’69’ because that’s how tall we wanted to be. And looking back, it looks kinda weird.”
