Since when did LeBron grow to be 6'9?

[joyner82]

I've seen several posters making the claim that he is indeed 6'9 now. When the **** did this happen?

Here is a comparison of LeBron to Kevin Durant. Durant, who is listed at 6'9, is giving up about a half inch in shoes(he's wearing bowling shoes) but towers over LeBron by at least 2 inches. Let's stop with this LeBron is 6'9 garbage, it's quite ridiculous.

Just to help their argument.

[Ikill]

lebron was measured 6'7 1/4 without shoes and durant was measured to be 6'9 without shoes

[The_Yearning]

It doesn't matter how rich LBJ is, he always looks so dirty. Like take a shower brah.

[Pointguard]

In responding to Detroit or Washington's predicted rough house tactics for an upcoming series... I recall Lebron put out a PSA three years ago that he grew an inch and weghted 15 pounds heavier than his HS measurements. I believe the weight part and he played an inche or two taller in that series.

If he's 6'9 then Durant is 6'11 1/2 or 7' in shoes which isn't factual. He's 6'8.

Thats a ridicilous wide angle camera picture shot.... none the less, Durant IS taller than Lebron, but not that taller as that picture says.....
in that picture Durant looks more accurately at least 5 inches taller than Lebron.
If you believe that picture then Lebron is 6

[Slamman]

Ever thought that the angle may be a little skewed??

how the hell is the angle skewed? They're standing right next to each other

[praneel]

I think he meant the angle of the person taking the picture.

And I think LBJ is about 6'9" in shoes

He did admit he is that tall to someone in an interview, but who is to say he was telling the truth.

And KD is taller than Lamar Odom (legit 6'10"), when they stood next to each other during the Brasil game.

But I don't really care if he is 6'8" or 6'9"

Draft 2003 Measurements:

People do realize that you stop growing at age 21...not 17

God I hate threads like these. WHO GIVES A **** HOW TALL HE IS

[ShaqAttack3234]

Remember when T-Mac was in Orlando? People were saying he grew to 6'10", people always exaggerate, no big deal. What's truly incredible is Durant's wingspan of 7'5". Unheard of for a perimeter player. Oddly, Durant's height and wingspan were identical to Dwight Howard's at the pre-draft camp and he weighed 25 pounds less, it's amazing that Durant then started off playing SG and Dwight transformed into a power center.

Kevin Durant: http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/?page=&year=2007&source=All&sort2=DESC&draft=0&pos=0&sort=

Without shoes: 6' 9"
With shoes: 6' 10.25"

Its possible he could growed a bit to 6

[whatever666]

wasn't lebron 18 when he was measured because he was 19 in his rookie year

Yes but he didnt turn 18 yet, he was born December 30, 1984, thats only 1 single day from being a 1985.

Point is you dont stop growing at 17 or 18 or 19 or 20... by majority humans stop growing at 21 somewhere.

[HisJoeness]

I just go with whatever Reggie Miller says his height is at that moment it's usually somewhere in the 7'2" - 8'1" range. :confusedshrug:

I'm turning 20 next month, still growing.

[HisJoeness]

Have you not heard Reggie Miller call a Cavs game before? He's always exaggerating his height and weight. Check that, he's always exaggerating something. It's ridiculous.

[For_Three]

Off topic but I wonder who won that bowling game? Probably Durant.

Here is what I think happened. Durant had to use the lightweight pink ball. Dwade dislocated his shoulder on the 7th frame, and Lebron was close and had to use his left arm because he hurt his elbow.


anyway...who cares about his exact height? He is shorter than Durant, fact. Let's just stay with that

[sixerfan82]

Durant looks hella pissed

Not to argue how tall anyone is, but lets get our terms straight. Human height is a measurement derived from the soles of the feet (or the ground upon which someone stands) to the top of their head. A "legit" 6'9" should mean 6'9", barefoot. I would believe that Lebron is a "legit" 6'8", and obviously taller than that in shoes. Dwight looks an inch-and-a-half to two inches taller.

ok Lebron was legit 6'7 at 18

[Fudge]

Who the **** cares? Go measure u and ur dads dick sizes if u love measuring so much.

[madmax]

are people still arguing about this stuff?:sleeping Lebron is clearly a LEGIT 6'8 barefeet, maybe even more. I'd say he's 204-205 cm height using more accurate FIBA measurement. He's probably a little more than 6'9 in his shoes - it's not that difficult to notice this when he's standing to other players arround this height. In any case, who cares? He's still an unstoppable freak of nature, who demolishes all the defenses.:confusedshrug:

[whatever666]

He is the exact height of Magic Johnson, Magic is listed usually at 6

Wow, is Lebron really that wide. He looks as wide, if not wider than Dwight.

Yea the guy is built like an OX.

[Jasper]

Durant is 7' - - -but is doing a KG and saying he is 6'9" so he can play SF.

Thus - Lebron is 6'7" but pic actually shows he is 6'8" 3/4

[Jasper]

Bob Mcadoo was like 6'10" (had arms )

But if you see Durant at the top of the key - he reminds me of McAdoo.

[New York Knicks]

Durant's probably 6'11 by now and LeBron probably IS 6'9. (both in-shoes obviously)

[G-train]

God I hate threads like these. WHO GIVES A **** HOW TALL HE IS

agreed, its a strange obsession

LOL, only one type of person finishes his sentence with 'ever' and they ain't straight.

Everytime I see D. Wade I immediately think back to my childhood, Batman the Animated series....

i cant tell u how much i agree :facepalm

[New York Knicks]

If there's any height that's misreported, it's Wade. In shoes. He's 6'5, not 6'4.

[Brunch@Five]

I stopped growing when I was 15. I've heard of others that still grew when they were 20.
People said this about Kevin Garnett when he came to the league, too, that he was 6'11 and still growing.
