When Justin Timberlake, who is barely 6'0 himself, is almost dwarfing Steve Nash.

Nash is more like 5'11.

Starts at 0:26

He's clearly taller, regardless. Even with Nash stealing a couple of inches due to his hair.

Point is, he is nowhere near 6'3.

It quite possible the shoes JT has on could have a inch or two more on them then Nashs... It could also go the other way around. One may be sitting up straighter then the other at any given point as well (again could be advantage to either). The point is, this is a asinine way to judge someones height.

Did you watch the video? They were both were standing.

Nash is 5'11 barefoot... but he is supposed to be 6'3 with shoes?

We all saw how Kenny The Jet Smith dwarfed Timberlake...

Nash has been frauding for years. He stands toe to toe with The Answer.

So check this out OP. I looked up how tall Jay Leno is. 5'11".

It looks like Nash is a good 2-3 inches taller than Jay Leno when he shakes his hands.

Any other questions? Comments? Ban yourself?

They look like the same height to me. You must be taking into account Nash's pompadour... and even then its a major stretch. Not to mention as you get older you lost a bit of height in Leno. And yet, their the same height even with the camera angle in favor of Nash.

That's why if you watch the video, even LENO who is THERE mentions that Nash isn't even the tallest guy on the show... and looks to Timberlake who claims he is 6'1.

Watch the video. Then speak. Nash no where 6'1. Dude is 6'0 at best and that i being very generous.

Yep. Even as a rookie 17year old (and still growing), Kobe has a good 3+ inches on a much younger West. Kobe is probably 6'5 without shoes, while West is barely 6'2. In the latest pic, West is definitely wearing some funny shoes.

I'm going to say that Nash is a tall 6'1 barefoot. Who I'm curious about is Kevin Durant. It seems like a toss-up between 6'8-6'11.

On another note. Is it wrong if a man wears shoes that make me, I mean him 2/3 inches taller? I mean...women lie all the time. Make-up, breast implants, butt implants and other surgery.

Kevin Love is 6'7" 3/4" but he's wearing a height insoles inside his shoes to make him closer to his billed height.

U mean kevin durant?

Anyway we have figured this out years ago that the nba lies about players height.

Look at that new commercial for the nba xmas jerseys with dwade,westbrook,joe johnson,melo and dwight.westbrook dwarfs wade and melo and dwight the same height!

Dont believe me???

Go watch it!

I just subtract two inches from all NBA listed heights. You remove the shoes and inflation.

And I don't understand the purpose of this thread. To make his accomplishments more impressive?

:facepalm I have measurements for both players:

Kobe (height w/o shoes measured in his mid 20's)
6-4.75 w/o shoes with a 6-11 wingspan
176lb rookie, currently ~205lbs

West (As a Senior at WVU) - I just got his height info from an interview with an author of one of West's books
6-2.75 w/o shoes with a 6-9 wingspan
175lb rookie, 188lbs for his last 8 seasons

West has high shoulders and a large upper torso so along side people with the right angle he can appear bigger than his height alone would suggest. He himself claims he is "over 6-4" when asked about it in interviews but I'm guessing he's just saying that because he sees modern NBA players "listed" at 6-4 walking around at his height and he assumes he must be just as tall. 6-4 is probably what West would be listed at today - 2 inches less than Kobe's 6-6 list height. Which happens to be their actual difference in height.

I've never seen footage of him dunk - and there was a commercial on tv a few years ago where he was supposed to be trying to dunk but couldn't - even though a tv commercial is just for entertainment I'm guessing it is based on truth that he actually can't dunk

As people age and especially if they gain a significant amount of weight they can shrink in their overall height.

Shaq at the end of his career is on record in interviews that he is 6-11.5 w/o shoes. He measured 7-0.88" w/o shoes as a rookie. Wilt measured 7-1.06" w/o shoes as a rookie and a few years after he retired he was measured at 7-0.5" w/o shoes. I have no reason to believe any of those measurements are not accurate. Both had gained 50+ lbs and aged 15+ years and had knee surgery. Barkley is an honest guy, brutally honest at times in an entertaining way but he is always a genuinely honest guy, in interview with Chick Hearn on youtube he specifies he is about 6-4 and 3/4 w/o shoes when Chick questions his 6-6 list height. which lines up quite well with his 6-4 and 5/8ths measurement for 1992. If you've seen Chuck Recently, he could be shorter than that, but that doesn't mean he wasn't just under 6-5 in his playing days.
