How Tall is Damian Lillard really?

I know he was weighed in at 6'1 3/4 without shoes at the combine but I have a good feeling that number is way off! I was just watching him against the clippers and then the mavs and I was thinking mane Damian looks SMALL AF on the court. So I decided to do some research.

Shorter or Same height as Trey Burke (5'11 3/4)

Shorter than Jeff Teague (6'0 1/4)

These make his dunks that much impressive but how he is listed at 6'3 is totally wrong. I think he should be listed at 6'0 6'1

as tall as Iverson

I have no idea how that guy is listed at 6'3. He isn't even close. I always thought they had him listed at 6'0 :confusedshrug:


Before this thread I would have guessed 6'0. But dude might legit be 5'10.5-5'11

6'3 is absurd when Westbrook towers this nikkka

Shorter than CP3, so he could probably lock up Durant

Isn't most players in the NBA height boosted a little.

[QUOTE=zoom17]Isn't most players in the NBA height boosted a little.[/QUOTE]

yeah but this ninja boosted like 5 inches, hes smaller than cp3 and lowry by quite a bit. Hes probably like 5'10 or 5'11 lmao

He was measured at the combine. Nearly 6'8" wingspan so who gives a **** about his height? That's like Rondo level wingspan. You can't use team pics to compare player heights, because it doesn't take posture into account. A slight slouch can make a 2-3 inch difference

think he has an inch on paul

Chad Ford had him almost 6'2 barefoot. On the court he looks a legit 6'3. But I guess the pictures don't lie?

Kyle Lowry is listed at 6 foot and Lillard appears to be taller than him in that pic.

I would say Lillard is 6'1" most def not 6'3"

How I see it is:

CP3 = 6'0
Rondo = 6'1
Lillard = 6'2
Kyrie = 6'2.5
Parker = 6'2.5
Deron = 6'3
Curry = 6'3
Rose = 6'3
Westbrook = 6'3.5
Wall = 6'4

[QUOTE=inclinerator]think he has an inch on paul[/QUOTE]

Not according to the pic above.

hes taller than lowry, who is 6'0 no?

How much taller is Aldridge than Howard?

[QUOTE=Chadwin]How much taller is Aldridge than Howard?[/QUOTE]

And Davis.

He's 5'11.5"-5'11.75" barefoot and about 6'0.75"-6'1" flat in shoes.

It's ridiculous how few people realize how some long arms make up for a players height. You know why you don't hear talk about how Wade is an undersized SG? Because he's really not...he's 6'4" with a 6'10" wingspan. Elton Brand was the same way, 6'8" but with an incredibly absurd 7'5.5" wingspan. (:biggums: ...god damn I haven't though about how long his arms were in a long time) To put that into perspective...Hassan Whiteside is 7'1" with a 7'7" wingspan. The point is...Elton Brand was always able to play down there with the big boys and was never considered undersized because of those insanely long arms. Early in his career he was known as bruiser (even led league in offensive rebounds) in the paint.

a 6'6" guy with the same standing reach and vertical as a 7' guy won't outrebound the 7 footer

[QUOTE=Chadwin]a 6'6" guy with the same standing reach and vertical as a 7' guy won't outrebound the 7 footer[/QUOTE]
If the 6'6" guy is wider and weigh similar or more than the 7 footer, I'm picking Barkley over Dirk.

[QUOTE=kells333]Yo why anthony davis head look so small[/QUOTE]
thought the same thing :lol

Yeah Lilard looks like he was cheating another inch from the inch or two they already cheat on. Like someone eariler mentioned that Lilard has a goodwingspan so he plays as a 6'3'' player fairly easily so it's not that big of a deal. Wingspan > height



:oldlol: at the Anthony Davis head thing. Him and dwight look more jacked then they are cause they got those god damn pinheads :oldlol:

Yes, like Barea locking down Lebron as he choked away a championship. Nice observation.

[QUOTE=kells333]Yo why anthony davis head look so small[/QUOTE]

maybe cuz he has the head of someone thats 6'2.....he did grow 7-8 inches in one summer

probably like 5'10, king of the manlet status.

[QUOTE=Chadwin]a 6'6" guy with the same standing reach and vertical as a 7' guy won't outrebound the 7 footer[/QUOTE]
Umm the 6'6" dude is probably going to be more agile and have a lower center of gravity for boxing out. Most of the best Rebounder's of the last 30 years have been 6'9" and below

Thanks for elaborating on my point!

Wingspan is much more important than height. Players heads can add or subtract a few inches alone. When I'm evaluating a players frame I look at wingspan, shoulder width, and thigh/ass size (for post players and rebounders). Pure height measurements are unimportant.

Didn't even bother looking but when I did, I burst out laughing :roll: :roll:. Looking like that dude from Beetlejuice.

Curry is closer to the camera

They are standing in a V shape. Kyrie is farthest from camera
