How Tall is Tim Duncan?

[SacJB Shady]

I always wondered how he was so dominate and I realized that height doesn't get enough credit. He is listed at 6 ft 11. But he can't fool anybody anymore. I think he is 7 ft 1. He looked taller than Bogut. Definitely was taller than Biedrins. Tim Duncan is taller than most guys that list themselves at 7 feet. With Asik, it's hard to tell because Asik has big hair, so hard to tell how tall he stacks up against him. There was a Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan height comparison pic. Garnett's eyes and mouth was higher, but Duncan had a much bigger head, so it was hard to tell who won that battle.

But all I'm saying is that this Duncan guy lists himself at 6 ft 11 so that he can get labeled as the best power forward to ever play. The guy doesn't look long when you just look at his body alone. But when he stands next to others, you usually notice how much higher his head is than everyone else's. What is his exact height? Is he a legit 7 ft 1 in sneakers? I bet in real life he looks like a freak.

[SCdac]

:blah

[Brujesino]

At least 58 feet.

[IGotACoolStory]

He grew to 7-1, but shrunk to 6-5 after all the steroids he took. Amirite?

Kevin Garnett is 7'3" and Yao is 8'

Dirk might be a good 7'4" :roll:

[Euroleague]

At his final draft workout he was measured at 6'10

LOL Timmy looks like a little boy in this one.

I wonder what size that big ass brown shirt is.

[Whoah10115]

Good job of posting those pictures. They don't actually reveal anything. Especially not the one with Dirk in it. You have no idea where Duncan is standing.


To answer the quality and not at all unnecessary OP, it would seem fair to suggest Duncan is say a half inch shorter than KG, who is probably just over 7'.

That's the joke. It doesn't matter how tall he is. Not one single person will think different of him if his height isn't exactly what it's listed as.

[Lebron23]

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Tim-Duncan-2292/

6'11' without shoes ( over 7 feet tall in his sneaker).

[Breezy]

Yes he is 6'11. The issue is that most of the people who list themselves as 7footers really aren't that tall.

Allow me to pull back the curtain.

Jordan is 6'4
Dwight is 6'9
Melo is 6'6
Chris paul is 5'11
Kevin love is 6'8
Spencer hawes is 6'10
Nash is 6'1
Magic is 6'7
lebron is 6'7 (Not 100% on this one since he was so young when measured)



90% of all nba players fudge their height. There are a few who are listed at their real height. Shaq, Durant, Garnett Duncan,

Magic is more like 6'5" but yeah, you're righty although the players aren't the ones fudging their heights , it's the league or the team. It starts in high school and goes from there.

This. Duncan was listed at 7'0" for a good chunk of his career, mostly during the twin tower years with Robinson. Many NBA players are listed in shoes or flat out lie about their heights so Duncan is a legit 7 footer by NBA standards which is why the OP thinks he looks taller than listed. With that being said, it's not like you can really tell the difference between 6'11" and 7'0", and considering Duncan's long arms it's really a negligible difference.

[SacJB Shady]

In this video, duncan looks taller than Bogut

:biggums:

i agree that NBA players add am inch or two to their height, but Magic is NOT 6'5. He is 6'7 barefoot dont exaggerate.

[Burgz V2]

oh and to answer the OP he's 6'11

[ThaRegul8r]

Duncan isn't 7 foot. It sounded better with Robinson so they could be the "Twin Towers." Same with Hakeem and Ralph Sampson.

Not sure what it has to do with how well they play basketball though.

[ProfessorMurder]

KG and Duncan are both 6'11.something".

This reminds me. Has anyone else noticed that everytime Lebron get's talked about in the Media they say he's a little bit taller and a little bit heavier. I literally hear people say he's 6'9 270 now and "The exact same size as Karl malone"... Are you effing high? If we keep letting this go by the time he retires The media will be saying he's 8'10 12,000 lbs

LeBron was measured at 6'7.25" as an 18 yrs.old NBA Rookie. I think he's now a legit 6'8". (69.25" while wearing his latest shoes.)

LBJ and 6'3".75" Dwyane Wade

It's certainly possible although just as an anecdote I think it's fair to point out that that is the most common excuse nba players give for their difference in draft measurement height and their listed height and it's almost never true... Paul George stands out as solitary example. I personally stopped growing when I was 16 and nobody I know ever grew past 18. It can happen for sure, but it's pretty uncommon.

That said he doesn't look taller at all to me. Definitely bulkier but the claims of 260-270 lbs seem like an exaggeration. Blake Griffin is listed at 251 and even if that's not right it cant be too far off and he's bulkier and taller than lebron.

[JohnnySic]

I like how you listed Spencer Hawes with all those superstars:lol

[SacJB Shady]

It's obvious that Duncan is top ten in heights

it's really not that uncommon, it's just NBA players are already exceptionally tall and probably already ready had their growth spurts and will probably stop growing. My doctor once told me boys stop growing up to 21 years old, and seeing how that is around the age the average NBA player enters the league, their draft measurement would probably be their final height.

Paul George had just turned 20 when he was drafted so he still had some time to finish growing if he hadn't already. Same with Dorell Wright, who was 18 when he was drafted.

[Living Being]

Tim Duncan is quite tall.

[All Net]

A legit 6'11..

Really? I didn't know they stack shit that high. :confusedshrug:

[willds09]

tim duncan iz 7'0, remembering he was part of "twin towers" back in tha day, man those were some bad memories:facepalm

[DonDadda59]

I always wondered how he was so dominate and I realized that height doesn't get enough credit.

I have no idea how one can be a verb, but yeah you're right. That's why Hasheem Thabeet is considered the best center in the league, all 7'3" of him.

[DMAVS41]

I have never understood this fascination with position.

It doesn't ****ing matter. Whether Duncan is a center for power forward, he's still better than Malone, Barkley, Dirk, Mchale, KG, Pettit...etc.

It doesn't matter.

Lebron is still not taller or as tall as players who were measured 6-7 and 3/4 w/o shoes (like Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, Carlos Boozer), so if he did grow he probably grew to 6-7.5 (which was Magic Johnson's precise height w/o shoes), so still not quite 6-8

[Breezy]

Really? I didn't know they stack shit that high. :confusedshrug:

Even though I have no problems with Hawes, This is too funny not to rep. :oldlol:

I guess he does seem out of place doesn't he? :lol I think he's listed at 7'1 in some places so it seemed exceptionally egregious.

Lebron isn't a legit 6'9", but he might be close to it in shoes, so that's hardly one of the NBA's worst exaggerations, however he does weigh a good 265-270 and has for the past 5 seasons or so.

[Iverson3]

He is 6'10" without shoes

You see what you did there? I agree that he's better than all of those players. Now, put him up against true centers and the outcome is different: Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal
