NBA Pre Draft Measurement

[VCMVP1551]

I think it is safe to say that Ray Allen is a legit 6'5 while Antonio Daniels is 6'2




6'11 1/4 Kevin Garnett and 6'5 Ray Allen



6'6 3/4 Joe Johnson and 6'7 Josh Smith

I can't figure out Ray Allen sometimes he looks no more than his 6'3 1/2 measurement like when he stands next to 6'8 1/2 Rashard Lewis but sometimes he looks taller. I think Ray is 6'3 1/2...he looks it next to Daniels and Cassell

Couple of points seeing as a few on here were taking a dig at the fantastic celebheights.com site

1.most regular posters on that site have T-Mac at 6'6.5 not 6'9 as someone here claimed. Maybe one weirdo thought T-Mac was 6'9..., we had one weirdo last year who claimed to have met Shaq in person and said that he was just 6'7

2.Nearly everyone on celebheights.com thinks that Lebron is 6'7.

3.this is directed to the poster Lebron23; the evidence of shaq being 7'0 next to the wall in "Steel" is totally flawed. None of the lines were either straight or the same distance apart. For what its worth i believe shaq is 7'0

4.Most of the pictures here (in fact all) are with sneakers on and sneakers can give all different sorts of lifts http://www.celebheights.com/s/-Sneakers-3702.html

[rossie1977]

Lebron23 i am not as convinced as you that Chuck is a flat 6'4; because he is barely 1.5" shorter than Dominique Wilkins and at least 4" taller than Joe Dumars



He also looks roughly the same height as Julius Erving


At least 5" taller than Isiah Thomas


Looking the same height as Grant Hill here


Taller than MJ here

Lebron James is measured at 6'7 1/4 in his 2003 NBA Draft class he looks so much taller than 6'8 now. Compare his height with 6'5 1/2 Vince Carter and you would see he is almost 2.5- 3 inches taller than VC.

By the way when Charles Barkley is wearing his basketball shoes he does not look taller than 6'4, definitely the chuckster is wearing some lifts in his custom made shoes. To look taller when he is interviewing some Rookies and NBA Celebs in NBA TV.

[VCMVP1551]

Barkley is 6'5 3/4, Shaq is a legit 7'1, T-Mac is 6'6 1/2 and Lebron is probably about 6'8 now.

Jordan and Drexler are the same height, Hakeem is 6'10, Pippen is 6'7.5 and Drexler is almost the same height as T-Mac

[Lebron23]

6'1 Mike Bibby and 6'5 Ron Artest



7'2 Kareem Abdul Jabbar and 6'8 Magic Johnson








6'7 Stephen Jackson and 6'9 3/4 Jermaine O'Neal



6'7 Ben Wallace, 6'9 3/4 Jermaine O'Neal, 7'2 Zydrunas Ilgauskas, 6'11 Brad Miller and 6'7 3/4 Antoine Walker.



6'7 Scottie Pippen and 6'4 Michael Jordan



6'8 Karl Malone and 6'7 Scottie Pippen



Scottie Pippen 6'7 and 6'9 3/4 Rasheed Wallace



6'5 Bonzi Wells and 6'1 Mike Bibby

Vince Carter is the exact same height as boxer Lennox Lewis so VC is 6'5


Most of the photos shown here of Chuck on the basketball court either:
a) show chuck to be bending his head (e.g next to MJ)
b) he is further from the camera

In the latest pic posted of Chuck next to Scottie Pippen there is barely 1" difference Chuck has a huge forehead on him and thats probably why he looks shorter to some people

Pippen is also the same height as Dennis Rodman, so where does that leave him

[VCMVP1551]

Great pictures although I disagree on a few. Jermaine O'Neal looks atleast 4 inches taller than Stephen Jackson when he is standing up straight. Jermaine has claimed he is 7'0" but that is BS I say he is around 6'11" max. Vince also only looks the same height as Lewis because he is leaning a little. Is it just me or does it look like Gerald Green grew a little? BTW T-Mac was rounded to 6'7" with shoes in his 1997 draft video so the 6'6.25" measurement barefoot seems correct because if he was 6'6.5" like some say he would have been listed 6'8" with shoes. Kobe and MJ are the same height right now but I don't have Kobe's pre-draft measurement or MJ's. I have heard Jordan was 6'4.75 in the 1992 Olympics and 6'5" in the 1984 Chicago pre-Draft camp but I have no proof or link so I don't know if that is true. Sometimes T-Mac looks less than 6'6" with 6'5.5" Vince Carter.








With that being said T-Mac is every bit of 6'6.25" 3/4 on an inch is hard to see sometimes.

Vince also only looks the same height as Lewis because he is leaning a little.

VC is not leaning as much with Lewis, as he is here with Lebron

And anyway i took lean into account, if you look closer at the picture Lewis is slightly taller than VC (with lean). And don't forget VC would have the footwear advantage too in that picture.

By the way Rossie1977 Lennox Lewis is listed at 6'4 3/4 .

Correct in his very early career Lewis was listed at 6'4 3/4 but 99% of the listings have Lewis at 6'5. I don't think boxers are ever measured because Mike Tyson was never the 5'11 3/4 he was listed at

Lewis didn't look more than half an inch shorter than Michael Grant who is listed at 6'7



BTW anyone know Boris Diaw's barefoot height?? he is listed at 6'8 and looks close to it next to Tony Parker who is 6'1 1/4 http://gobasket.free.fr/Boris_Diaw_and_Tony_Parker.jpg

I have looked for Diaw's height..I'll guess 6'8"...I think he was listed at that in Europe and those heights are accurate. Vince is 6'5 1/2 and looks nearly as tall as T-Mac who is 6'6 1/2. Where did you get the 6'1 1/4 height for Parker...pre-draft measurement? That is where I get most of the heights. Shawn Marion is a legit 6'6 1/2" so compare him to Diaw and you can tell how tall Diaw is or compare Diaw with 6'8 1/2 Amare Stoudemire. Shaq is also a legit 7'1" look at the pictures with 6'10" Hakeem Olajuwon, 6'10" Tim Duncan, 7'1" Dikembe Mutombo and 6'11 3/4" Kevin Garnett I posted.

[rossie1977]

Where did you get the 6'1 1/4 height for Parker...pre-draft measurement?

Parker claims 186cm (6'1 1/4) himself and has 186cm on his personal website despite being listed at 188cm (6'2) by the NBA. There are a ton of pictures floating around here in Europe of Parker next to soccer players, tennis players etc and he looks a legit 6'1 1/4 in them all. Parker is also around the same height (maybe a little taller) as Greg Popovich too if thats any use.

[VCMVP1551]

I have some more measurements and some corrections for 1999

Wally Szczerbiak 6'7 1/2

http://espn.go.com/nba/draft99/playe...iak_wally.html

Baron Davis 6'2 1/2

http://espn.go.com/nba/draft99/playe...vis_baron.html

"Brand fits that blueprint perfectly. A robust 6-foot-8, 275 pounds at the pre-draft camp at Chicago"

http://espn.go.com/nba/draft99/features/01332996.html

"Chicago was Brand loyal at No. 1 when Elton measured at a true 6-foot-8."

http://espn.go.com/nba/draft99/features/01332714.html

"It surprised me that he measured out at 6-foot-8, but he's got the wingspan of a 7-footer."

http://espn.go.com/nba/draft99/features/01332318.html

"Jonathan Bender is every bit 6-11 and he is long."

http://espn.go.com/nba/draft99/playe..._jonathan.html

[B]"Initial concerns about his height were erased when he measured just over 6-8 without his sneakers. His arm span is huge; he's got a vertical reach of over nine feet, and his horizontal span is 7-5
