hm. love was measured at 6ft 7 3/4. durant was 6ft 9. is this mean love grew? maybe it's a footwear and bad posture?

one thing is certain. no way bron is full 6ft 8. from this pic and many other pics i've seen. bron seems like he is still 6ft 7 1/4. but i can buy 6ft 7 1/2.

LeBron isn't 6-8 in shoes. He's proably 6-8 in this pictures and Durant is probably 6-10+ as well probably more to towards 6-11 while Love is at 6-10.

kevin durant - 6ft 9
lebron james - 6ft 7 1/4

http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/

only thing that looks little odd is Kevin Love. he might have a footwear help or maybe he is trying to look taller. he wanted to be listed at 6ft 10, and there are dudes who always want to look taller in pics. it's a psychological thing. i have a friend who is 6ft 4, but he wears lift to look like he is 6ft 5. for some strange reason, he wanted people to think he is 6ft 5.

Growth plates close at 22, this measurement was when he was 19.

You really think there's less than 2 inches between Durant and LeBron in the picture? :oldlol: That's at least 2.5-3.5 inches. Plus Durant doesn't even have his head extended, it's dropped to the side. That's an extra half inch at least.

He's 6'11".

[Linspired]

LeBron isn't 6-8 in shoes. He's proably 6-8 in this pictures and Durant is probably 6-10+ as well probably more to towards 6-11 while Love is at 6-10.


there is no such thing as a height with shoes in my world. it's ridiculous because everybody wears different shoes. size 16 bron 9's would give bron 1 3/4 inch of lift. but he is wearing the new lunar hyperdunk 2012

http://solecollector.com/media/u/images/lebron-james-nike-lunar-hyperdunk-usa.jpg

and most likely it won't be 1 3/4 inch because it doesn't have air max in it.

Derrick williams is measured at 6ft 7 1/4 just like bron. don't tell me PLAYERS GROW crap because this was last year.

I think kevin love is the guy who wants to appear taller. why would he want to be listed at 6ft 10? i think this olympic picture is a proof. DUDE IS INSECURE.



and pictures like these aren't 100% reliable. it's close but not 100%. posture, footwear, angle and etc can make these big dudes lose an inch or gain an inch.

You do realize that you can make your biceps look bigger when you fold your arms?

LeBron has like 50 pounds on Kobe, there's no way his arms are smaller.

[pauk]

KD is noticeably taller than 6'10 Kevin Love

The guy is AT LEAST 6'11....

[madmax]

Love being 6'8 and pretending to be 6'10 is the biggest measurement joke in NBA...no wonder 6'9 Durant has all these silly "legit 7 footer" threads, when half of the guys in the league lie and exaggerate their true height...

[Heat1011]

Yep KD is taller than LeBron? What's ur point? LeBron's still better

[NauruDude]

Why doesn't Iggy get to be on the picture just because he the worstest player on the team?

Here is a much better camera angle, i added a perfect horizontal line aswell at the top of Durants head:

not sure what you are trying to say. Durant looks like he is about 1/2 inch taller than Blake. Melo is measured at 6ft 6 1/4. he looks it next to 6ft 8 1/2 Blake.

Bron looks about 6ft 7 ish in this picture. maybe it's because his stance is wider.

kevin love looks tall here about 6ft 8 1/2. but he has hair and durant's head is tilted a little.

and i only see 2 inch difference between durant and bron in this pic. maybe 2 1/2 inch at most. but definitely not 3 inch. trust me. i know this. i do this for my hobby.

[Linspired]

my conclusion

1. bron isn't full 6ft 8.
2. kevin love is insecure about his height.
3. kobe looks like snoop
4. harden doesn't belong here.

Amare said he is 6'10, and that he grew an inch.

Who to believe him, person lookin at a photo comparing heights using listed heights (that are/arent accurate). Stalemate.

Unless teams start doing official measurements and leaking to the public we'll always argue and study friggin photos to determine who is taller.

1. bron isn't full 6ft 8.
2. kevin love is insecure about his height.
3. kobe looks like snoop
4. harden doesn't belong here.
1. LeBron is more than 6'8.5 but less than 6'9
2. Kevin is 6'9, not 6'10

Their correct measurements "Pre-Draft measurements"...

http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/

Tyson Chandler - 6'11.5" barefoot - that means max 7'1" in shoes
Kevin Durant - 6'9" barefoot - that means in between 6'10-6'11 in shoes
Blake Griffin - 6'8.5" barefoot - that means max 6'10" in shoes
Kevin Love - 6'7.75" barefoot - that means max 6'9" in shoes
Lebron James - 6'7.25" barefoot - that means max 6'9" in shoes
Carmelo Anthony - 6'6.25" barefoot - that means max 6'8" in shoes
(unless they wear high heels lol)

@Linspired... Dirk Nowitzki was listed 2.09 m barefoot in Europe before he came to the NBA.... that is exactly 6'10.25" - 6'11-7'0 in shoes sounds correct

My point again, Durant is the 2nd tallest guy in this team

[pegasus]

KD is noticeably taller than 6'10 Kevin Love
He has a short neck. Had it been a normal-length neck, he would have been a legit 7-footer.

nba DO MEASURE PLAYERS. i don't believe it's 100% accurate, but it's pretty close.
http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/

bron said he is 6ft 9 270lb. dwight howard said he is 6ft 11 saying 'i'm too tall!!' players can believe whatever they want.

i know some dudes in ymca think they are 6ft 5. they are barely taller than me and i'm 6ft 2.

[Linspired]

1. LeBron is more than 6'8.5 but less than 6'9

[Linspired]

I think it's pretty safe to say that Durant is the tallest player on the US squad, sans Chandler.

it's also officially true. he is 1/2 inch taller than blake and supposedly 1 1/4 inch taller than Love.

I have no doubt Love is wearing a shoe with ridiculous lift or maybe he is lifting his foot a little. no way 6ft 7 3/4 dude wants to be listed at 6ft 10 without being insecure about his height.

[Linspired]

He has a short neck. Had it been a normal-length neck, he would have been a legit 7-footer.
