Its funny watching Kevin Durant tower over guys who are listed taller than him
Durant was listed as 6'9 barefoot afew years ago and is listed as 6'9 on most NBA sites, Could list himself 6'11

Actually i remember kobe exact height in cms to be exact 193-194.Which is rougly 6'4.

Lebron height is his rookie listing.So its likely that he grew considering NBA players listed heights are with shoes.He said 6'9

There are some serious downgrades as well.Like KD he is well above 6'9.

Another player KG who didnt wanted to be listed 7 footer so that he didnt have to play center.

Howard listed height is pretty bad as well.I mean he is shorter than KD and he is listed at 6'11.I saw several pictures where lebron and howard stood next to each other where i couldnt tell who is taller.At best he is 6'9(because of his freakish ath. and his long arms he plays like a legit 7 footer though thats not the point)

However i think most notable height cheat belongs to joel anthony.He is listed at 6'9 and i even saw 6'10.He is at best 6'7.He is shorter than lebron.Thats 2-2.5'(5-6cm difference).Thats with shoes.

From legends charles barkley was at best 6'4 however he is listed as 6'6 to play PF.

I think Wilt would be listed as 7'2 or 3 today considering he is 7'1 barefoot...they just dont do that these days most of the time...So today I guess kareem would be listed 7'3 or 4 also?

Michael Beasley at 6'10".

I don't know if you guys have heard of these things called shoes, but the NBA measures the player in them and it gives them an extra inch or two.

Don't bother explaining to them, they are willfully ignorant of the fact players are listed with their shoes on.

Not just that but they are also given another inch or so...you think Kevin love wears 3 inch thick shoes? lol

6"9.5 in shoes @ the combine, do you expect them to round up or down?


Like I said, willfully ignorant, the numbers that you point to saying he's 6"7 3/4th without shoes show him as 6"9 and a half with shoes on, in the column right next to it.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out they're going to round up.
