Think about how people praise Davis for his athleticism and the fluidity of his movements at 6'10 with a 7'5 wing span. It's weird that Durant is taller and able to play the style of ball he does. :confusedshrug:

You can't go by this. I'm not saying Durant is or isn't taller, but you can't go by shoulder height. I personally know this. For one Durant has his arms folded. So naturally his shoulders will be higher anyway.

Secondly, when I was in 9th grade in science class we measured everyone. I was the tallest person in the class, the second tallest person in the glass stood right next to me and his shoulders were higher than mine, but I was taller. Reason? I had a longer next and head them him.

It's funny though, in elementary school I was nicknamed Giraffe.

1 picture isn't enough to tell how tall they are especially when i can't see their feet. i need more davis / durant picture. we should get that more after the olympics

i will buy 6ft 9 1/2 KD. i do believe he has grown up to 1/2 inch. but i don't buy durant being full 6ft 10. there just isn't enough photographic evidence yet.

The notion that every photo with Durant appearing definitively taller than players measured at 6-10 w/shoes is somehow captured in a manner that makes his height deceptive, or that I'm not taking the laws of depth perception into account is asinine and ridiculous. Durant has grown an inch since he was 18, is that so implausible?

One may be talking in the others ear but the only one who is changing his head angle is Dirk. And even with changing his head angle he is still taller. Not to mention the fact that Durant is in the forefront on both pictures.

You only get to take so many shots in a game, and the majority of them should be taken by Kobe, Durant, Lebron, Melo, etc. Everyone else has to contribute in other ways, and there aren't a lot of perimeter players who can contribute more without scoring than Iguodala.

Oh... MASH has talked about the Thunder a lot so think he's a fan? Also Joyner has brought this crap up enough times. Obviously Durant is a bit taller than 6'9 he got drafted at.... but 6'10 is more accurate than 7 feet tall and if he is 6'10 that's still tall as FU** for a SF let alone with his quickness, athleticism etc. If you add 1-2 inches it doesn't become any more or less impressive IMO.

Because Howard, Bosh, Rose, and Wade are hurt. Who else would you rather have? It's not like he a first choice or plan A guy. In fact, he was closer to a plan E or F guy since it took four other players being injured to get him and Harden on the team.

Durant isn't 7 feet in any way, not even in shoes. Duncan was a measured legit 6'11" without shoes when he was drafted, and Durant definitely isn't as tall as Duncan.

You have Durant's measurement of 6'9" without shoes from when he was just 3 months shy of his 19th birthday. You're usually pretty much done growing by then, I'm not sure about guys who are freakishly tall to begin with like Durant, but it doesn't seem like NBA players grow much after they're drafted.

Durant himself said prior to the 2010-2011 season that he was 6'9 1/2" without shoes and 6'11" with shoes. I'd take his word for it, and he was definitely grown by then at 22 years old.

So that, along with the official measurement seems a lot more reliable than pictures which vary depending on posture and angles.

It explains why some insist he's 6'11" since a lot of NBA players seem to be listed around their height in shoes.

Nah, plenty don't. Duncan used to, but now he's listed at his real height of 6'11" since about '04 or '05. Shortly after Robinson retired.

There's plenty if you look at draftexpress such as Shaq, Durant, Garnett, Wade, Grant Hill, Ray Allen, Vince Carter and Alonzo Mourning to name a few that are listed at their real heights. I'm convinced Gasol and Bynum are both taller than the 7'0" they're listed at as well. Pierce and Bosh were others until their listings oddly got boosted in the last few years.

The one I've never understood is John Starks saying he's 6'2" when he's listed 6'5". What kind of listing is that? Platform shoes?

i said that because you can't just determine who's taller with 1 picture.

i've studied hundreds of barkley pics/videos just for fun. depends on era, barkley's footwear is anywhere from 1 inch to 1 3/4 inch lift. his air maxes in 90's were pretty thick.

i never say so and so is 6ft 8 or 6ft 9. i never give a definite number because we will never know.

most likely durant is anywhere from 6ft 9 to 6ft 9 1/2. we will never know. one thing is certain is that he is over 6ft 9 since he was measured at 6ft 9

BTW, I think Dirk might be a little taller than 7'0. He's noticeably taller than Pau Gasol who is a legit 7 footer.

I don't get Thunder fans obsession with this though. IMO when you inflate a players height it actually works against them. If we are going to say he's a legit 7 footer then we can ask why he's not rebounding more than 7 per game etc. Let him stay at his true height of 6'10 ish and leave it alone.

So Durant is 7 feet but cannot post up 6'2'' dudes? LOL

WTF is with the height obsession on this board??:confusedshrug:

I couldnt care less if Durant is 6'11" or 7 feet tall... Why does it bother some of you that much? I agree, Durant couldnt post up against a SG so whats the difference how tall he is. He plays out on the perimeter...

Um .. most thunder fans dont even care. Apart from this instance, most of the times its fans from other teams posting it.

I, as a thunder fan, dont even care. The topic is over-talked and pretty meaningless.

Wow, 6 PAGES!

This is just a topic about Durant being taller than Unibrow?

Obviously there are no facts here, because you can't argue against facts, and we have 6 pages of arguing here.

I don't know if KD is taller, but damn Davis' strength potential dwarfs his. Look at those broad shoulders. He's gonna fill out his frame pretty well, something that Durant won't be able to do.

KD is 6'10" and change in shoes. He isn't a 7-footer no matter how you look at it.

Now cut the crap. :coleman:

Paul Gasol is actually listed at 7'0.5" in Europe. Bosh said that he's a legit 6'11" (7'0.25" in shoes).
