They're listed at 7'0" and 7'4". I assume we are going by their listed height? Otherwise, this devolves into nothing but petty disagreements about fractions of inches.

Rodman actually didn't start sometimes just strategically in his last bulls season.

Eaton TOWERED over Sampson. And there are those that claim that Hakeem was only 6-8. He was certainly nowhere near 7-0.

Listed heights. Not your estimates based on one guy standing next to another guy. Or some random argument you had on the Internet. It really isn't difficult to understand.
