Better Angle. Dwight is taller than Russell. Abuc is one of LeBron's entourage. He met some of these players in real life.

Dwight is closer to the camera by about a foot, maybe two feet - still a tossup
And keep in mind they may deliberately trying to make Dwight look bigger in this manner - Dwight's listed 6'11 how good would that be if an official NBA photo shows him no taller than (listed) 6'9 Russell? lol

AND Dwight is closer to the camera by about a foot - honestly, Bill is more than likely about 1/2" taller than Dwight, based on the measurements of both guys and what iggy said, and seeing bill next to ther players with confirmed measurements in the 6'9-6'10 range - he's usually closer to 6'10 guys

6'10" Dwight Howard, 6'5.5" Vince Carter, and 5'11" Jameer Nelson.

This is the most telling and proper angled pic and both players are standing upright facing each other.

KD has the potential to be the best player of all time

Re: Kevin Durant 6'11-7ft Tall?
Digging up pictures is pointless to dertmine his actual height. He's on facebook and twitter daily (Perkins has no beef with that however, only Bron). So someone should just ask him what his official height is.
Now that the obsession with height (ISH epidemic) is done with. Why cant he ever get a fresh haircut? He probably goes to Hair Cuttery.

F*CK.
So are you saying if the Blazers didn't draft Oden, we would've gotten a dominant center anyway?

Re: Kevin Durant 6'11-7ft Tall?
I say he is 7ft tall without really being 7ft tall.
He has a very short neck, and if he had a normal length neck, he would have been easily a 7-footer. But the thing is, your height up to your shoulder is what really matters when playing basketball. So he is a "legit" 7-footer with extra long arms.
Had he had a long neck like Brandon Roy, he probably would have been 7'1'' tall.

The images show that he is 6-10 to 6-10 1/2 in shoes at most.

What does that matter? NBA players don't all wear the same shoe and they don't all keep the same shoes they wear from one game to another.
That argument makes no sense and is totally illogical.

And yet he continues to say that he still measures at 6-9 today and all the pics show him no taller than that also.
