This photo was taken on 20 Feb 2005 for the NBA All-Star Game.
Allen Iverson, who was born in 1975, was 30 years old by that time. We can then assume that he was in his prime and should not have started shrinking yet. Dwayne Wade, who was born in 1982, measured 6-3.75 without shoes and 6-4.75 with shoes on during 2003 pre-draft camp when he was 21. We can also assume that he has not grown by then.
In this photo, they were both the same distance from the camera. The floor was flat. They were both wearing basketball shoes. They were both standing in a good posture though Wade was leaning a bit forward, but we can assume this to cancel out the effect of a slight tilt in camera angel ( which gives a little advantage to Wade)
So comparison based on this photo should be accurate enough.
Now you can see that the length of Wade's head is about the same as the NBA Spalding basketball (standard circumference: 29.5 inch. By simple maths, diameter is found to be 9.4 inch)
So we simply give 9.4 inch as the length of Wade's head.
Now you can also see the top of Iverson's head reached just below Wade's eyes; and Iverson's eyes reached just below Wade's chin.
To make things simple we assume that Wade has his eyes located in the middle of his head. So dividing 9.4 by half and we can tell Wade's eyes are 4.7 inches below the top of his head and 4.7 inches above the bottom of his chin.
To conclude, Wade has a bit more than 4.7 inches over Iverson and Iverson has to be lower than 5-11.05.
Based on this piece of evidence, I'll give Iverson 5-10.5. yeshi says on 11/Jun/11
Allen iverson look like 6-2. Viper says on 7/Jun/11
I can agree with 5-10 kj says on 6/Jun/11
viper your really being way too technical about this...most people just say 5-10 even though their really 5-9 1/2...two inches isn't hilarious..it's really not that much....two inches isn't a lot...plus people wear different size shoes
if someone says their AROUND 6 foot that could mean 5-10 or 6-2....around just means an estimate kj says on 6/Jun/11
he's not 5-9..he's just stocky looking...loko at nba pre draft measurements and he measured at a bit over 5-10 w/o shoes Shi says on 30/May/11
He's definitely less than 6'. First time I met him was in a stairwell at PCOM (where the 76ers practice(d?)). He was a step above me and he was BARELY taller than me and I'm 6'3". I met him two other times, one time I was standing right next to him and he was a good 4 or 5 inches shorter than me.
I'd definitely say he's around 5'10" Chris says on 23/May/11
Ayo I know hes 6 feet tall cause the NBA say he was and I'm sure dey aint lyin so Gloomy why dont yo shut yo... and try to get in the NBA and slam dunk. Sam says on 5/Apr/11

Cm on guys he's 5'10, i'm from philly had close encounters many times. Jordan says on 6/Feb/11
kj says on 1/Feb/11
what are your sources? like i'd rather believe you than a legit website
YEah, like you can back up your own claim he's 5'11 with any source... I'm waiting...BTW the information that Iverson is 5'11 1/4 appeared on this website first in 2007 and it wasn't backed up with a source too! Viper says on 4/Feb/11
LOL 6-0 1/2. Better chance hes 5-9 Tamara says on 3/Feb/11
I actually met Iverson twice, once a couple of months ago and again today.
He appear very short as in maybe a good 5'10 - 5'11 but its also because his posture is horrible. I say standing up he'd probably reach a good 6'0 1/2.
He's also not very nice to talk to in person. He was really rude. kj says on 1/Feb/11

I'm a member of Besiktas club medical crew. We measured Iverson at 178 cm and he weighted at 71 kilos. JIm says on 30/Nov/10
Iverson is definitely < 6'0" - I have stood right next to him and he is about 6" smaller than me and I am 6'3" - Saying he is a solid 5'10" is a probably a gift, but I could accept it - No way is he 5'11" or 6'0" Viper says on 1/Nov/10
LOL, no he wasnt. Hes 5'10 Legacy says on 31/Oct/10
Click Here Iverson was measured 5'10" without shoes and 6'0" with shoes. Most NBA player height listings are with shoes rounded up to the nearest inch. Legacy says on 31/Oct/10
Dman1528 says on 22/Sep/10
Allen iverson is 5'10.5 barefoot and about 150 pounds i still have the SI kids poster from like 2002 back when they had interviews and stuff on the back of them and they where talking about his true height and weight most of the shorter nba players under 6'6" have 2 inches added to there height and most that are 6'6" and over have once inch added to there height.
----------------
I think I read that issue. In the interview doesn't Iverson say something like he isn't really 6ft and 165 pounds and he's really 5'10" and 150 pounds but maybe 6ft and 165 pounds if he stood on a phonebook and wore a lot of really heavy clothing? HS says on 31/Oct/10
Iverson was measured at 6'0 without shoes when he was drafted JANELLE says on 26/Oct/10
He is not six feet anything he is more like 5'10 I stood right in front of him and he is not taller than my husband who is 5'10. Unless he grew a couple of inches in his twenties Allen Iverson is not six feet tall. Chris 1.89m with shoes on says on 23/Oct/10
lol rob allen is 6ft... |
