I dont think Dwight is above his flat 6-9 measured listing. BigBen says on 5/Jul/08
6'9.5" for Dwight Howard. Never heard anything about 7.0" ft for Dwight. Thats nonsens.
Shaq says on 5/Jul/08
Garnett's former teammate Stephon Marbury talking about his height.
"Marbury on the T-Wolves zone defense, which utilized Garnett at the top: "They say he's 7-foot, but I think he's 7-2 or 7-3."
That's from The Record(Bergen County, NJ) February 17th, 2002 Shaq says on 4/Jul/08
Dwight isn't 6'11". I doubt he's even 6'10". he's 6'9.5" at best. Anonymous says on 3/Jul/08

Aram X, Garnett is 6'11.75" but Perkins is actually closer to 6'8" or 6'9" at best. Click Here Click Here
I agree Marion looks like a muppet btw.
You can see in the first picture when Garnett is standing straight he has 4 inches on Perkins and even with KG looking down at Perkins in the second picture he still has him by a few inches. Aram X says on 27/Jun/08
^First of all shawn marion looks like a muppet. Second of all if you look at how his head sits on his shoulders, its like 3-4 inches shorter than most players, his chin sits at about his collar bone, now look at chris Bosh, he has a neck of a giraffe. in conclusion marions useful body parts (shoulders and arms) sit where the average 6'10" players would be, thats why he can play the way he does, he should be listed as a 6'9" or 6'10"^
Good point...Maron's got high shoulders and his seem pretty long too so he should be more like a 6,9" person on the court rather than his listed height of 6,7" (i think his standing reach is pretty close to 9 feet). same goes with kendrick perkins. Although Perkins (6,10 barefoot) is shorter than Garnett (6,11 barefoot) in head height, Perkin's got a very short neck (but Garnett does not) and his wingspan is also much longer (at nearly 7,7" eek) so he can play taller than Garnett due to his greater standing reach (which i believe is about a freakish 9,4 1/2!). Kendrick is also much stronger (or at least it appears that way) than Garnett and with his greater length he plays center instead of Garnett. Shaq says on 20/Jun/08
KG towers over 6'6.5" James Posey(listed 6'8") by a good 6 inches.

Right.....lsu alum...KG is 6'10.5". That makes James Posey about 6'5" and Paul Pierce maybe 6'4.5".
Garnett is a legit 6'11 3/4" without shoes. He's said so himself. Shaq says on 18/Jun/08
"Seven-foot center Michael Olowokandi, on his Timber-wolves teammate Kevin Garnett, who is listed at 6-11: "He's seven feet, but with his (long) arms, he plays at 7-4."
Olowokandi was measured 6-11 3/4 without shoes and is listed 7 feet so that backs up KG being 6-11 3/4 even more Shaq says on 18/Jun/08
Editor Rob, considering the fact that Garnett was clearly taller than 6'11" Chris Bosh in the 2008 all-star portrait and he is known to downgrade his height, can you upgrade him to 6'11.75"? He has claimed that height twice. Shaq says on 14/Jun/08
In the Finals KG has stood next to 7'0.5" Pau Gasol numerous times and he is less than an inch shorter. Garnett was probably telling the truth when he claimed 6'11.75" and he's possibly a full 7'0". Rocky says on 7/Jun/08
Some of the recent pics regarding comparison of heights are horrible. Shaq says on 6/Jun/08
Joe now I saw your picture and Garnett's posture is horrendous. That's not a good picture to judge his height.
And I agree Anonymous Shaq says on 4/Jun/08
If KG literally hates being called 7 feet then why would he lie and say he's an inch and a half taller than he is?
Get over it, Garnett is 6-11 3/4 just like he claims. Look at him here with 6-4 3/4 Kobe. Click Here
There is a reason everyone in the NBA is convinced KG is 7'1" and that's because that is his height in shoes.
Shaq is 1 1/4 taller than him because Shaq is 7'1" and KG is 6'11 3/4". Shaq says on 3/Jun/08
Right lsu alum Shaq has Garnett by 1.25 because Shaq is 7'1" and Garnett is 6'11.75". Why would KG claim to be 6'11.75" twice when he hates the seven foot label? If he wasn't that tall then he wouldn't claim it. KG has gotten pissed off when people have called him 7 feet so he wouldn't exggerate his height.
KG looks 9 inches taller than 6'4"-6'4.75" Kobe who is tiliting his head up. Click Here
A 6'10.25" man can't give the illusion of being 7'1" that often.
By the way I can agree with 6'10.5" for Duncan but I can't see Joe Falk's picture because it won't open. Anonymous says on 3/Jun/08
joe on your photo garnett is taller than TD (isu alum so boring...) lsu alum says on 2/Jun/08
joe the reason duncan looks taller is because he is by about a quarter of an inch.garnet is only about 6'10 1/4",and duncan is 6'10.5".garnett seems so tall because he's so thin,look at shaq next to garnett,shaq has him by 1 1/4 inch. Joe Falk says on 2/Jun/08

KG is slightly closer to the camera but even considering that he looks over 7 feet there. I think 6'11.75" is accurate for Garnett Ozzy says on 22/May/08
Ostertag was 7-foot even at the pre-draft camp. draftexpress.com has got measurements from the camps in 91-07, minus 96, 97, and 99. Shaq says on 20/May/08
I always thought Ostertag looked closer to 7'1" or 7'2" on the court but you can't judge height that well during games. I was also never really trying to estimate Ostertag's height either.
He looks 7'0" in these pictures.

Since Ostertag is only an inch shorter than Shaq it's not strange that he looks as tall. It's very difficult to estimate to the exact inch when they are on the court. lsu alum says on 20/May/08
that pre draft measuremnt just got blown out the water.look what they have ostertag at.even you must admit that hes as tall as shaq Shaq says on 8/May/08
Alex I don't see Garnett under 6'11.75" like he says. He's tried twice to downgrade himself below his 1995 measurement of 6'11" twice by claiming 6'10" and 6'10.5". So if Garnett wants to be seen as shorter than he is then why would he ever admit to being 6'11.75" twice if he wasn't actually that tall. I think Garnett is atleast 6'11.75" and he could possibly 7 feet.

KG makes Pierce and Allen look like midgets when he stands up straight. I truly can't buy anything under 6'11.75" for Garnett right now. The rumor when he first started claiming 6'11.75" in 1996 was actually that KG had been measured 7 feet by the Timberwolves but he didn't want to be called 7 feet. That's also why KG calls himself 6'12" or 6'13". Alex says on 7/May/08
Garnett's lean frame can make him look at least 7'0-7'1 but I think he's minimum 6'11-6'11.5. Shaq is 7'1" says on 29/Apr/08
The facts about Garnett's height
Garnett is always estimated between 7'0"-7'2"
He seems uncomfortable about his height but has claimed 6'11.75" in 1996 and 2007
He was already measured 6'11" right out of highschool
He has also claimed 6'12"

So with all of that said why not upgrade him Rob? Rocky says on 29/Apr/08
I do remember the T-Wolves for quite a while had a player named gaRRett as well as Garnett himself...KG was clearly taller than the 6'11'' listed Garrett. Shaq is 7'1" says on 25/Apr/08
I'll let my links do the talking. Many people believe Garnett to be over 7 feet but I believe him to be just under at 6-11.75 like KG himself claims. He is a minimum 6'11" because he was measured that height by the NBA in 1995. All of that information is in the links provided.
You haven't provided a single link. Post a link to back up any of your statements. lsu alum says on 25/Apr/08
dont beleieve anything shaq is 7'1" says.all he does is try to upgrade nba players heights to prove shaq is taller than he really is. Shaq is 7'1" says on 25/Apr/08
Aside from the video I posted where he tells Craig Sager he is 6'11" and some quarters he has been claiming 6-11 3/4 since 1996.

As you could see in the third link requested not to be listed 7 feet because he thinks the Wolves would make him play center. He's also explained in recent years that he wants to be thought of as a versatile player and thinks that if he's listed 7 feet people will consider him only a post player.
In the 4th link you can see he is reluctant to admit he is even 6-11 3/4 at first saying he's 6-11 before finally saying 6-11 3/4.
KG saying he's "6 foot 12" also backs up that he is closer to 7 feet than 6'11" but doesn't like being thought of as 7 feet.
KG has at times tried to downgrade his height to the point where it got laughable. He even once claimed to be 6'10.5"
Click Here
Pretty much KG is widely considered 7'1" around the NBA and that's because at 6-11 3/4 barefoot he would be 7'1" in shoes which is how most players are listed. His thin frame can give the illusion of 7'2" I'd think.
Pretty much it's obvious he is atleast 6-11 3/4. If he hates being thought of as 7 feet I highly doubt he'd like to make himself seem taller. Garnett is now a minimum 6-11 3/4. Rocky says on 24/Apr/08
I've heard various times that KG though listed at 6'11'' is really 7'0'' - 7'2'' from gurus around the NBA. He's played a variety of positions (from SF-PF-C) in his career so that may have a factor in his height listing. Also, his wingspan is very long so it may be a factor as well. Shaq is 7'1" says on 21/Apr/08
Truth? Well Shaq has claimed 7'1" twice and the Chicago Camp had his measurement at 7'1" and measurements were only barefoot back then(they added the shoes measurement after several players complained when they measured under their listed heights).
I'm sorry but I don't see anyway how the Chicago Camp released fake measurements, Shaq would lie about his height when he's that tall and he could look like a legit 7'2" guy even with big footwear. lsu alum says on 21/Apr/08
shaq is 7'1",i'll stop bothering you when you admit the truth,that shaq is 6'11.5" Shaq is 7'1" says on 17/Apr/08
That's exactly right Enrico. Kevin Garnett never wanted to play center so he always chose to be listed 7 feet even though he finally admitted he was 6'11 3/4". Enrico says on 17/Apr/08
Yes, even if he is officially listed as a 7-footer after all these considerations I assume that Bargnani is 211 cm barefoot.
Next to Garnett he was really the same height, taller only thanks to his thick straight hair-style...
Anyway if Bargs is considered a 7-footer so should be KG to me...
Maybe KG refuses to consider himself a 7-footer because that could some-way affect the consideration people have on his way of playing... Shaq is 7'1" says on 14/Apr/08
lsu alum stop following me to every page. I was posting about Garnett not Shaq you idiot. Stop following me to every page once and for all it's pathetic. I have backed up my arguments on Shaq so get a life. This page has nothing to do with Shaq though and my last post was about Garnett.
Get a life and stop bothering me. You are the one who is obsessed with Shaq's height you loser.
By the way I've heard that too Enrico although Bargnani looks more like 6-10 to me. These are the supposed measurements I found for Bargnani
7-0 in socks
7-1 1/4 in shoes
Standing Reach 9-2
Weight: 249lbs Enrico says on 12/Apr/08
Bargnani was listed 211 cm in Europe w/o shoes, when he was drafted he was measured by raptors staff and he was officially listed as a 7 footer w/o shoes... These are Bosh and Bargnani measuremente taken during 2006 summer.
Player - Height in shoes - Wingspan
Bargnani, Andrea - 71 - 73
Bosh, Chris - 611.5 - 73.5
Ford, TJ - 60.25 - 511.5
Graham, Joey - 66.5 - 68

shaq is 7'1"thinks hes an expert on every nba players height.the truth ishe uses pictures that are poor evidence of anyones height.and hes goes on every site trying to prove oneal is over 7 feet.dont beleive any of his so called evidence. Shaq is 7'1" says on 2/Apr/08
If Bargnani is 6'10.5" then Bosh is closer to 6'11" now.
Click Here
Bosh was only 19 when he measured 6'10.25" so it's possible he grew although I haven't heard anything about it myself.
KG looks clearly taller than Bosh so 6'11.75" sounds accurate.
KG was already 6'11" at 19 when he was drafted so he's nothing under 6'11" and probably the 6'11.75" he claims. Ozzy says on 2/Apr/08
Enrico: Bargniani was listed at 209cm/6'10.5 in Europe, 7'0 in the NBA with shoes on. Same height as Bosh w/o shoes, only Bosh uses his w/o shoes listing as his official listing, rounded down to 6'10, for unknown reasons... If KG looked the same height as Bargniani I would say it argues for him not being a 7-footer, although probably a bit taller than B. Anonymous says on 2/Apr/08
Rob can you mention Kevin Garnett's quote about his height on top.
He says on a video posted on youtube "I'm 6-11 and some quarters". Shaq is 7'1" says on 23/Mar/08
Everyone can rule out anything below 6'11" because he was measured at that height straight out of highschool and here are too links to prove that.

So because KG was already 6'11" in 1995 barefoot it's impossible he's anything udner that because he did not shrink. KG's claim of 6'11.75" is probably very accurate for a few reasons.
1.He looks it next to other NBA Players
2.Everyone around the NBA is convinced he's 7'1" or 7'2". Shaq is 7'1" says on 20/Mar/08
As wrong as "Shaq is 6-11 barefoot's name is he's actually making some pretty good posts.
Duncan is 6'10.5" barefoot I believe and I know he is 6'11.5" in shoes. Not sure about the barefoot height for Tim but I heard it a while ago said to be from the 97' pre-draft camp and it seems accurate.
6'11.5" in shoes makes sense for Duncan because the NBA could have been rounding up for his 7'0" listing his first 8-9 years and now rounding down his shoes height or rounding up his barefoot height for the 6-11 listing. shaq is 6'11 barefoot says on 20/Mar/08
duncan is a solid 6'10 and kq has 1 to 2 inches on him Duhon says on 16/Mar/08

Reasons why 6'11.75" makes the most sense.
1.Since almost everyone in the NBA says Garnett is 7'1" 6'11.75" barefoot would put him right at 7'1" in shoes which is what most people in the NBA go by.
2.He was already 6-11 at 19 years old and it's not hard to believe a very tall skinny teenager who looked to be still growing grew another .75"
3.No reason for KG to try to make himself seem taller because he likes to seem shorter than he is
4.Garnett usually looks 6'11.75" atleast
5.The "6-12" claims could be 6-11 3/4" rounded up
Kevin Garnett should be upgraded to 6'11.75" or maybe a note at the top of the page stating his "6-11 and some quarters" claim.
Duhon how tall do you think KG is? Enrico says on 14/Mar/08
Garnett is same height of Bargnani who is a true 7-footer, I saw them together in last year Europe Live Tour in Rome, Garnett next to the big Italian was about the same height, slightly shorter only because he has no hair, but they are the same, so I assume Garnett is a true 7-footer, because Bargnani is a True 7-footer.

As for Garnett having more than 5" on Pierce that may be because Garnett was already 6'11" without shoes when he was drafted and he has grown. He said his height as "6-11 and some quarters". KG is a solid 6'11.75" now.

Editor Rob check this out.
In an interview with Sideline reporter Craig Sager at the 2007 All Star Game Kevin Garnett said this.
"I'm 6-11 and some quarters"
Now many people assumed that meant 6-11 1/4" but the quarterS part would suggest 6-11 3/4
In a mid to late 2007 interview Garnett claimed to be 6'10.5" without shoes.
Reggie said that KG looks to be 7'2" but KG said he is 6'10.5" without shoes and 6'11.5" with his shoes. Patrick said he had it on good authority that KG was 6'14" and KG was sure he got that from Flip.

In case you don't know the story Garnett is said to always be trying to dwongrade himself because he wants to be known as a finesse player with perimeter skills instead of a 7 footer with power skills.
Which height do you believe 6'10.5", 6'11.25" or 6'11.75"? Personally the Olowokandi picture and the "6-11 and some quarters" claim plus the numerous claims of him being ove r7 feet makes me think maybe an upgrade to 6'11.75" but I am not too sure. Garnett also once said he entered the league at 6'10.5" but has grown a little over a half an inch since pointing to maybe 6'11.25"? Shaq is 7'1" says on 15/Feb/08
Dirk in recent years has been listed 2,12 M in Europe and I hear those heights are barefoot so maybe he is actually 6'11.5" and KG is the 6'11.25" he claims? nobody012 says on 9/Jan/08
Garnett is one of the rare basketball players who is listed in barefoot height. Shaq is 7'1" says on 21/Dec/07
KG is 6'11.25"(claimed it himself and probably 7'0.5"-7'0.75" in shoes(that is where you get people thinking he is 7'1". Viper says on 20/Dec/07
6-7? Im sorry but you are smoking crack with that statement. tim says on 20/Dec/07
WOW time out flag on the play hold up KG aint 6'11 he is 6'7 he wasnt even close to being taller than shack when they played the heat again the nba just adds inches to basketball players heights Vegas says on 5/Dec/07
there is more chance duncan is less than 6'10 than above it; i met matt morgan in person who was also listed at 6'10 in college at the same time as duncan was circa 1996-97 and he is under 6'10 slightly Shaq is 7'1 says on 3/Dec/07
6'8.5" is possible for Horry but I am positive 6'6.25" exactly for T-Mac. BTW 6'10" could have been rounded down from 6'10.5' for his college listings that would make sense for his nba listings too. That would make him 6'11.75"-7'0" in shoes and he was listed 7'0" for a while and 6'10.5" could be rounded up to 6'11". Vegas says on 30/Nov/07
duncan was listed at 6'10 in college and upgraded an inch in the nba Click Here
i believe someone on here said horry was measured 6'8.5" barefoot at the draft and mcgrady at something like 6'6.5" Anonymous says on 30/Nov/07
Horry measured 6'8" while T-Mac measured 6'6.25" and Boozer measured 6'7.75". Daniel says on 29/Nov/07
I am a big Spurs fan and Duncan is closer to 7'0 than 6'10 guys. He has got easy 1.5 or more on Robert Horry who is listed at 6'10 and see him next to guys like Mcgrady and Boozer who are about 6'8 and 6'9 respectively and he is 3 to 4 inches taller than them. Shaq is 7'1 says on 16/Nov/07
Garnett is 6'11.25" and Shaq is 7'1" hi says on 15/Nov/07
he can't be 7'1. Knowing that Shaq is around 7'0 and constantly has 2 inches on him, you do the math. Anonymous says on 29/Oct/07
He is not 7'1". He might be 7'1" in shoes but he looks 2 inches shorter than Shaq(7'1" barefoot and 7'2.75" in shoes). Garnett is 7'0" max. yoshi says on 27/Oct/07
Chauncy Billups said he is 7-1. Anonymous says on 22/Oct/07
Kevin Garnett claimed he was 6'11.25" at the 07' ASG that is the most accurate. Rocky says on 20/Oct/07
I've heard various times that KG though listed at 6'11'' is really 7'0'' - 7'2''. He's played a variety of positions (from SF-PF-C) in his career so that may have a factor in his height listing. Anonymous says on 20/Oct/07
Garnett is 6'11.25" atleast. I've heard Duncan is 6'10.5" and Dirk was only 19-20 when he was measured 6'10" so he could be 6'11" now. David says on 13/Oct/07
In my opinion Nowitzky, Duncan and Garnett are more or less the same height (Dirk has also his Hair shaved in the photos I've seen down below) I don't see anyone having a full inch on the other, if you want to be precise we can argue that maybe duncan is 210 cm tall and both Dirk and Garnett are 211 cm.....that is probably the best height!

I believe garnett's a legit 6'11". After some research i discovered td was listed at 6'10" in college likely his accurate height. KG always seems to have an inch on him. asfasf says on 29/Mar/07
i had a pic with kevin mchale, when "da kid" was signed from minnesota in 1995, and he got the same height of him or a bit less. I don't believe kevin had grown from that time, KG is 210cm or 211cm max. 215cm or more is insane. Duhon says on 28/Mar/07
Ozzy although, if any player did grow i think it could be chris Bosh. he came in with a pretty underdeveloped looking body he was very skinny like 210 and he was 19. Dwight and lebron both looked physically developed, bosh not so much. Ozzy says on 24/Mar/07
Come on, D-Howard have said himself that he's 6'9.5. This age argument and growing is BS, some develop physically early (I myself was 6'2.5 at 16, 6'3 now ten years later) and my bet is guys like LeBron, Howard, Oden and Wayne Rooney fall into that category. these struck me when I saw them up close as shorter than listed: Antonio McDyess does not look a bit like 6'9 (I've had 6'9 and 6'10 teammates myself), more in the 6'8, maybe even 6'7 range, and Webber is no way 6'10, 6'8.5-6'9 tops. LV says on 22/Mar/07
Anonymous, I'll repost that picture of them together later with lines drawn. Trust me, it's at least an inch. That makes Bosh 6'11" in shoes so Howard is likely 6'9" barefoot and 6'10" in shoes. His listed NBA height is in shoes, big shoes since he's listed at 6'11". Either way, they are listing him 1" taller than his shoed height. Anonymous says on 21/Mar/07
He doesn't have an inch on Howard and Bosh is 6'10 1/4 barefoot so Howard is atleast 6'9 1/2 aerotive says on 20/Mar/07
Looks 6ft 11 to me. LV says on 14/Mar/07
Did no one see the interview at the All Star Game with Garnett? Craig Sager referred to him as 7 feet and he corrected Sager and said, "I'm 6'11" and some quarters". No reason to lie. He's easily over 7ft in shoes. Also, Howard would be lucky if he's 6'9 1/2". I've never seen Bosh listed taller than 6'10" and he has over an inch on Howard. Just looking at the Western Conference All Star picture you can see some startling height differences in guys that are supposedly the same height (Okur, Duncan, Stoudemire, etc). Gonzalo says on 13/Mar/07
I saw him in the All Star weekend next to spanish player Jorge Garbajosa, listed 2`04 to 2`07. Garnett didn΄t look much taller, 3 or 4 cms. I think Garbajosa is more 2`07 than 2`04 and that would make Garnett around 2`10 barefoot Viper says on 12/Mar/07

Shaq is 7'1 barefoot. KG is an inch or 2 shorter. This is pretty obvious. Garnett is only 220 pounds though which makes him look taller. Howard is taller than 6'9 1/2 too. Art says on 25/Feb/07
KG and Shaq were both in the game at the same time for extended lengths during the ASG. If Shaq's barefoot height is 6'11.5, KG could be no shorter than 6'11 barefoot; they looked nearly identical, and I'm talking about towering over 6'9 1/2 barefoot Dwight Howard. That 6'9.5 measurement by FIBA sounds bogus, not only are there no such measurements online anywhere (much less stamped by FIBA), he would've been measured at 24 during the 2000 Olympics, and it's a heavily unlikely scenario for KG to randomly grow 2 inches past 25. If anything, someone's memories must be off, because during FIBA broadcasts of the 2000 Sydney games, KG was always introduced at 211cm. jamoms says on 25/Feb/07
First of all shawn marion looks like a muppet. Second of all if you look at how his head sits on his shoulders, its like 3-4 inches shorter than most players, his chin sits at about his collar bone, now look at chris Bosh, he has a neck of a giraffe. in conclusion marions useful body parts (shoulders and arms) sit where the average 6'10" players would be, thats why he can play the way he does, he should be listed as a 6'9" or 6'10" asfasf says on 22/Feb/07

If hes really taller than Duncan, then he is 6-11. jo says on 8/Jan/07
i would like to add in the 2003 issue of 'Kicks' with Garnett, Duncan and McGrady(then an Orlando Magic) on the cover, the conversation turned to height whereupon Duncan and McGrady excitedly told the journalist to add that "Garnett is 7-1" with Garnett, who was worried, telling them that that was rubbish. McGrady added that he "might even be 7-2"...But in my opinion the only sure way is to be measured barefoot, no shoes, nothing with them standing at their full heights. Case closed! jo says on 8/Jan/07
garnett has always given his height as 6-11", in fact he once quoted himself as being 6-12 in order not to overstep the 7ft mark! the reason for this has to do with the fact he plays power forward in the NBA which is his natural position. Garnett can easily, but does not like to, play out of position, such as center. Its very rare for power forwards to exceed 6-11, if they are taller then this they r generally made to play center which limits them in what they can do on the court. Hence, Garnett does not want to flaunt how tall realistically he is. This is why u might notice in the past in a lot of photos garnett is often seen stooping or bending in order not to draw attention to his height. But recently, as seen in the 'Kicks' issue, he stands at pretty much his full height. Its prob cause hes accepted as a natural power forward so his height is no longer a threat to his position. Ozzy says on 21/Nov/06
Well, I agree that judging from photos is difficult, however in the latest "kicks" there are pics where KG "obviously" as you say, is standing up straight, Duncan on the other hand seems to always stand with a slightly bad pose, shoulders forward and neck a bit forward. show me a pic with TD standing chest and chin out... so with those two (KG and TD) standing next to each other it's a pretty tough call in my eyes... Ann says on 16/Nov/06
Don't use photos to measure. People can be shorter if they want to be. Obviously KG doesn't stand very straight when he is in the photos. Alex says on 16/Nov/06
Derek, I figured 6'5.5-6'6 but I'd like to know which for sure. Derek says on 16/Nov/06
Alex, average NBA player is 6'7" 220. Barefoot, it would be 6'5 1/2"-6'6". Ozzy says on 15/Nov/06
your q, ghah ghah.. i will not bother to do it again, i posted a pic of those two standing next to each other at the ASG some time ago... do the research yourself.. or start paying attention. Alex says on 15/Nov/06
Does anyone know for sure what the average barefoot height is for NBA players today? I am sure its over 6'5, but not sure if its a full 6'6 since some guys are listed more than an inch taller than they really. 6'5.5 or 6'6 its gotta be. Alex says on 13/Nov/06
The average could be 6'5.5 though since the 6'7 was almost def in shoes, but I could see 6'6 as the average still. The average in the NFL is 6'2 245lbs or 250lbs. Viper652 says on 13/Nov/06
Id say the average is 6-6 in the NBA and 6-5 in college. Alex says on 12/Nov/06
Guys, I read the average height/weight for an NBA player was 6'7 220 or it was 225lbs, but about the height though is that in shoes or barefoot? I would assume in shoes but I could be wrong, but if its in shoes then the average height for an NBA player would be around 6'5.5 barefoot I'd say. What do you guys think. Alex says on 9/Nov/06
I thought Duncan was 6'11 barefoot. If he's 6'10 then Garnett is 6'11 then. Yao looks 7'5 there, maybe 7'6 tops. Leung says on 7/Nov/06
If KG isn't 7' then he is pretty damn close.
Duncan has never been a legit 7 footer, probably 6'10". Derek says on 6/Nov/06
Funny thing about Duncan is that he was always listed at 7', until about 2 years ago when they brought him down to 6'11". KG was actually listed at 7' himself for a brief period and he was brought down to 6'11". KG and Duncan look around the same height and T-Mac is 6'7" tops. Viper652 says on 6/Nov/06
You might be right Coolj. CoolJ says on 4/Nov/06
That's cause Duncan is shorter.. About an inch or so. Viper652 says on 3/Nov/06
Now in that picture it looks like Duncan would be shorter If he took a step back. Viper652 says on 1/Nov/06
Actually, KG is closer to the camera in that shot. He might even be a tad shorter If he stepped back towards Duncan. CoolJ says on 1/Nov/06
Viper, he's definitely taller than Duncan. You can judge that with various pictures on the net. Viper652 says on 1/Nov/06
He looks the same exact height as 6-10 Tim Duncan. ghah ghah says on 30/Oct/06
gasol is significant taller than kg ?? where is your source to prove it ??
i have seen the highlight of gasol dunking on kg, and once they both reached the ground and stared at each other head to head, i noticed that kg is almost as tall as gasol, maybe gasol is half inch taller but thats about it.
i would say gasol is 212cm and kg is 210cm while duncan being 207cm. Ozzy says on 30/Oct/06
But then you're just taking Duncan's height as a given... I always thougth 6-10 looked more accurate for TD, and it is harder than it might seem to judge from that Kicks cover, you have to take into account leg stance and slouching, even a slight slouch takes off over an inch off your height (which TD is doing). Amjan, where is the source for your Dirk height, the only player i know for sure is 214cm is Gasol, and he's significantly taller than both KG and Dirk. Compare Garnett to the player next to him in that pic, the 6-9.5 Stoudemire (Stoudemire said this was his height in an interview during the olympics, when he got confronted with his the 6-7 the official olympic site had him on). Anonymous says on 27/Oct/06
im sorry but if Duncan is 7-0, then garnett is 7-2 cause if you check out the newest edition of Kicks with them all on the cover, garnett and duncan are standing at their full heights, and Garnett is definately two inches taller then duncan, hes definately 7-1 at least. Gonzalo says on 28/Sep/06
He was two inches taller than kirinlenko, listed 2`06 in Europe. 2`10-2`11 for Garnett looks feasible Viper652 says on 22/Sep/06
Dirk looks taller than 6-10 to me. Ozzy says on 22/Sep/06
Yes... And Louie, maybe, just maybe, I would make your statements worthy of consideration if your rhetoric was just a little bit better (that is, a lot, you sound like a kid), and stopped claiming "that is the truth" without backing it up with anything remotely close to a good argument. Viper652 says on 21/Sep/06
But to say 6-8 is small in the NBA is laughable. Viper652 says on 20/Sep/06
Louie, your claims are ridiculous to say the least. Viper652 says on 13/Sep/06
KG is anywhere between 6-9-6-11. But the 7-1 claim is ridiculous. Ozzy says on 12/Sep/06
The lying about his height argument to avoid playing center is just too thin... LJB: disagree, your images don't prove anything unless you can state the heigths of the players you compare with, dirk and td are always hunching while kg is standing up straight. Yeah, and learn to write, and stop contradicting yourself... The average nba player is 6'6.5 w/o shoes, 6'7 with shoes... 6'9-6'11 is small??? When did you start believing everything you read? yeah, kg claims t-mac is 6-10, barkley claims he is 6'4.5, shaq claims he is 6-11.5, mutombo claims ewing is 6-9, to which ewing didn't protest, d-howard laughs at himself being listed at 6-11, and he doesn't mind being a PF or a C, so... who to believe? i have no idea, but i do think the trend is that players are shorter than listed, or at best the same height, just trying to be objective, i don't want a player to be a certain height, i just find it interesting that the heights listed obviously are incorrect.. so, well... i posted a link under, i think, the jordan thread... check out the tendencies... Leung says on 4/Sep/06
KG is at least 611, he could very well be a legit 7 footer and lying about his height because he never wanted coaches to automatically slot him into center position. This guy is a phenomenal talent and could finish his career as one of the most dominant forwards in the history of the game. Viper652 says on 3/Sep/06
Louie, are drunk when you post, or sober? Please tell me you are drunk. No sane man would say 6-9-6-11 in the NBA is small. Viper652 says on 30/Aug/06

You inflate eveyone's height on here Louie. 7-1 for KG is ridiculous. Almost 40 and no girlfriend says on 7/Jun/06
yes, I agree with Ball-A. 6-9+ for KG. He looks a lot taller than he is due to lanky frame. This is the same reason why if a girl and a man are the same height or even a bit shorter, the girl will always "look" taller. A 6 foot girl looks very very tall, whereas a 6 foot guy doesn't look all that tall. Ball-A-Hallic says on 4/Jun/06

CoolJ: Yes, I was, considering gasol's 213-14, i think kg is 210-11 w/o shoes. Almost 40 and no girlfriend says on 22/May/06
Really, since did you ever see NBA players appearing in photos barefooted CoolJ? I can maybe see 6-10 w/o shoes for KG, but standing next to Shaq he looked a good 2 inches shorter (and a LOT skinnier), so 6-9 1/2 w/o shoes or 6-11 with shoes is spot on. But if he cranks his neck up and stand a tad on balls of his feet then he will easily be 6-10. CoolJ says on 22/May/06
"Almost 40" I believe Ozzy was referring to Garnett's height W/O shoes there bud.. He's taller than 6'9.5 without shoes. Compare to Amare who is 6'8.5-6'9 w/o shoes. Almost 40 and no girlfriend says on 22/May/06
Ozzy you are right, 6-11 with shoes, about 6-9 1/2 without shoes. CoolJ says on 19/May/06
If only it looked about right. Viper652 says on 9/May/06
6-9 1/2 sounds right for KG. Anonymous says on 7/May/06
in the fiba archives KG is listed at 207 cm (6-9.5). Mutombo claims Pat Ewing is 6-9, and Pat admits to it, but he insists it is a "good 6-9". CoolJ says on 28/Apr/06
If Duncan is 6'10.. which I believe he is.. or at a minimum 6'9 3/4".. Garnett has to be 6'11" which debunks Shaq's whole 6'11.5" thing. Viper652 says on 28/Apr/06
Duncan looked a solid 6-10 at Wake Forest to me. Not 6-9 |
