Attention people: Kevin Durant is 6'11

[joyner82]

Calling me out for saying this makes you look retarded because he is much taller than the 6'9 you're stating. Quit criticizing me for calling him 6'11 as he clearly is.


Rudy Gay is 6'8-6'9ish

Here is Durant leaning over in comparison with Gay

http://www.slamonline.com/online/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/kevin_durant_rudy_gay_large.jpg


What does Alvin Gentry say?

"He's almost a 7-foot guy. That's the bottom line."

"I don't think you care who you put on him. What you can't do is you can't duplicate what he is, and that's a 6-11 guy with length and speed and shooting ability and ball-handling skills and things like that," Gentry said. "The closest guy is probably George Gervin, and he wasn't anywhere close to being as athletic or big as Durant is."

Gentry recalled seeing Durant standing next to the Suns' 6-foot-10 center, Amare Stoudemire, during the All-Star game and noticed that Durant was actually taller. Combine that with Durant's wingspan and it's hard to find anyone who can get a hand in the way of his jump shot.




So please stfu and quit making yourself look stupid by attempting to call me out on this.

joyner is to Durant as PB is to Lebron.... Except far far worse. At least PB's threads are entertaining.

You're a LeBron tot. Of course you would side with the LeBron homer despite the fact he might be the dumbest poster not only on this board, but on the entire internet.

wtf is a "lebron tot"? Like a toddler?

[AJ2k8]

KD is clearly closer to the camera in that photo, obvious bias from OP

[JohnnySic]

Durant is a legit 6'9'' he just doesn't inflate his height the way many players do.

[Rake2204]

Earl Boykins is 5'5''.

Durant is 6'11, trust me.

[joyner82]

He's as tall if not taller than both Bosh and Howard, so I guess they're 6'9 too. Also LeBron is 6'7

[Rake2204]

Michael Jordan dwarfed opposing players because he was 7'2'' when he first came out of retirement.

[TennesseeFan]

I remember when Texas played Tennessee a couple of years ago, our C Wayne Chism is 6'10 and Durant was taller than him.

[Diesel J]

people say lebron is 6 foot 8/9 and Durant looks taller than lebron

[DuMa]

height isnt everything but wingspan goes a long away.... durant is king in that book.

[CeoTypeDoe619]

If you cant tell Durant is 6'11 you must be half blind

[ILLsmak]

6'10 maybe... hard to tell. But it's not his height... if you think it matters whether or not he is 6'9 or 6'11... it doesn't. It's the length of his body. He's got some arms.

He's a BEAST. All that talk about him getting stronger, I don't think he should put much weight on. Continue to lift, but stay gangly. Imagine Reggie but taller.

ok, he's 6'11''
now what?

[BigSmooth4]

I remember when Texas played Tennessee a couple of years ago, our C Wayne Chism is 6'10 and Durant was taller than him.


Chism aint 6'10. He is 6'8 or 6'9 at most.

[50inchvertical]

Chism aint 6'10. He is 6'8 or 6'9 at most.
Came to say the same thing. Chism is an NCAA 6'10, which means at the NBA combine he's going to measure out 6'8.5 in shoes at best.

[Lebron23Cavs]

Durant is 6'9 after met him before after a game. If he was 6'11 he would of towered over me even more.

[ShaqAttack3234]

:oldlol: Joyner, Gay was measured at 6'7", Stoudemire at 6'8 1/2" and Durant at 6'9", mystery solved.

Durant is not 6'11", Duncan is 6'11", Garnett is almost 7'0", Shaq is 7'1", ect. for reference. Durant is just 6'9" and they don't inflate his height like they do to most players. Mystery solved.

[SRZ66]

lebron doesnt weigh 270. hes honestly not that big

[ShaqAttack3234]

lebron doesnt weigh 270. hes honestly not that big

He was 245 at the pre-draft camp. Look at Lebron as a rookie and look at him now. He's atleast 260, maybe bigger.

[airchibundo507]

How about choosing a photo where Durant doesn't have a hat perched on top of his head?

[RoseCity07]

I remember wondering if Durant was 6-11 at team USA camp in summer. He and Oden were standing pretty close, and I was wondering why the hell Durant isn't blocking shots like Oden when he is just as tall with a similar wing span.

Like posters have said, he isn't 6-11. 6-10 in shoes.

May not seem like much of a difference, but that's the difference between Hedo and Dwight Howard. An inch or two can make a big difference.

maybe I am wrong though, he does seem to be 6-11, and shorter at other times because the way he plays. I've never seen a 6-11 player with handles and speed like that.

[Put Back Dunk]

You're all delusional. Kevin Durant is somewhere between 9' and 9'4'' as the picture below indicates;

Anyone who doesn't believe me smells like farts.

Adds up with their pre-draft measurements.

Oden is 6'11" w/o shoes, about 7' with and Durant is 2 inches shorter.

[gyu]

Durant is 6'10" in shoes check his pre-draft measurements:

and it's not like 1 inch makes a huge difference.

[Lakas Fan Yo]

He was measured officially at 6-9 without shoes and 6-10 with shoes. I fail to see how that makes him 6-11.

[ShaqAttack3234]

Joyner says he grew, so he must have grown! Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on Joyner's part. He's hoping Durant keeps growing so he can suck his dick while he's standing up.

[BarberSchool]

He's got a sick 7'4" wingspan...
...and he's taller than other players who claim the same height.
That makes the other players liars.
But that doesn't make Durant 6'11" afaik.

[Jasper]

Durant = garnet

Both are 7' , but statistically are under

KG <= center so there for he is a PF

KD <= powerforward so there for he is a SF


Both have skinny arms and can bench press 150 pounds.

Both jive and trash , but run when the fight breaks out.

:lol

Durant has never been in an altercation that I know of:wtf:

[beasted86]

Actually you are the moron, when his Draft express profile clearly states 6'10.25" with shoes on.

Of course he's taller than Rudy Gay.

Melo is 6'10" with two pairs of shoes on.

[wally_world]

You're a disgrace to all KD/Thunder fans

[SCdac]

I don't care what his official height is, having a 7'4 wingspan and a 9'2 standing reach for a human being is crazy. Durantula seems about right. His length allows him to play bigger than he is.

[MMKM]

I agree with the OP, Durant has to be taller than 6'9. I had a legit 6'8 basketball client who got a photo with Durant this summer. They were standing right next to each other in the photo and Durant looked like he was 4 inches taller. I remember thinking, wtf, Durant must be seven feet tall. I don't doubt he is 6'10 plus.
