6ft 11 and 7ft are the most coveted heights for centers I think.

And Garnett is an example of a solid 6ft11.
Canson said on 19/Feb/23
@Mickie: yea 6’9 is as tall as I can see him next to 6’9.75 Myles Turner
Shane Gray said on 15/Feb/23
@Canson good point on Garnett as related to Sabonis. It would really depend on the team. It varies a lot right now from team to team. The Cavs, for example, are all barefoot heights and they aren't cheating those at all, having Rubio at 6'2", Allen at 6'9", Love at 6'8" etc. But several other teams have at least some if not many listed by old standards. So yea, on the right team, I agree with you fully. As for the order Sabonis, his posture wasn't even very good back when he played and he us fairly old now. I think we have to assume he's lost some height from his NBA days when comparing him to Porzingis. I'm guessing around a half inch would be a fair estimate.
Canson said on 5/Feb/23
@Mickie: I think he was listed 7’3 when he played. He would’ve been at least 7’2 imho. He can look shorter than Porzangis
Mickie said on 2/Feb/23
@ Canson - is Sabonis only 6'9"-ish? His father was a really big guy, I read somewhere online once that he was 222 cm in the morning and 218 cm at night. Not sure where the figures originated from, but it looks possible.
Canson said on 21/Jan/23
@Shane: he could’ve easily had that even today if Sabonis gets a 7’0 or 7’1 listing when he may or may not be a full 6’9”
Shane Gray said on 31/Dec/22
@Canson Adding to my comment just below this one, Garnett could have had a 7'1" listing in his day if he had wanted it.
Shane Gray said on 31/Dec/22
@Canson I think he definitely could have pulled off 7 foot if he wanted to, standing straight in the morning. He'd only need 6'11 1/2" technically. And I'm not sure If the new "rules" even still exist. Haven't heard any updates. I guess they probably do, but aren't strictly enforced, certainly, if at all.
Canson said on 28/Dec/22
@Shane: I think he’d have possibly been listed 7’0 under the new rules seeing as how he probably is 6’11 at his low in the afternoon. But I think he is a solid 6’11 if not a hair under today being he’s an inch shorter than Embiid
Shane Gray said on 26/Dec/22
@edge he wouldn't look quite as underlisted now with dome of the heights listings a little lower than that era, unfortunately
Shane Gray said on 26/Dec/22
@Canson see my post below from Nov 4, 2021 please. Thoughts?
186cm/Age 14 said on 12/Oct/22
@IceCold1
6’11.25” is fair then. This listing is correct. And he’s probably 7’0” or slightly above out of bed. He was probably measured a bit out of bed to get his 212cm claim.
IceCold1 said on 11/Oct/22
Also a solid inch shorter than 6'11.75 Embiid
IceCold1 said on 11/Oct/22
There's no way he is as tall as 6'11 3/4 like he claimed. He would be eye to eye with Shaq, but there's no this case, so:

Lunchtime: KG- 6'11 1/4, Shaq - 7'0 1/4
Afternoon: KG - 6'11, Shaq - 7'0
Low: KG - 6'10 3/4, Shaq - 6'11 3/4

At least an inch between them
Canson said on 2/Sep/22
Looks like he measured 6’11 flat at the draft. That may be his afternoon/evening height
Mickie said on 21/Aug/22
KG is sort of like KD in that for years you'd hear how they must be multiple inches taller than their listed heights, but in reality that impression was mostly just from the height inflation from the guys around them. KG at 6'11" - 6'11.25" barefoot makes sense and KD at 6'9.5" too.
Vincent Caleb said on 21/Apr/22
Solid 6’11
IceCold said on 2/Apr/22
Legit 6'11
Shdjs said on 22/Jan/22
210
Canson said on 31/Dec/21
@Edge: Wallace only measured 6’9.75 so that puts KG at 6’11 solid . Duncan 6’10 Dirk 6’10.5-.75
edge said on 28/Dec/21
Rasheed Wallace was a perfect example Garnett always edged an inch sometimes an 1.5". Also edged out Time Duncan and Dirk Novitsky. Honestly I give him 7 feet spot on. Little bit shorter than Shaq but taller than Time Duncan, Dirk Novitsky and Rasheed Wallace. I really think he was under listed so he didn't have to play center. It's crazy, like I said before, the tallest looking 6'11" EVER!
edge said on 28/Dec/21
My guess is that Kevin Garnett was measured bare foot at 6'11 1/2 and every other listed 6'11" guy was measured with their foot wear which would make them 6'10 max because I'm sorry but Kevin Garnett is the tallest looking 6'11" in the history of the NBA that's a fact.
Shane said on 4/Nov/21
@Canson thank you my friend ! I actually think the average listing now is at least an inch lower than the 80s up until the new policy . Garrett's 6'11" listing would actually look rather normal now. But them he looked like he should have been listed at least 7 feet if not 7'1" compared to the other listings of his time.
Canson said on 29/Oct/21
@Shane: great to see you back posting again! I agree with you. And very well said!
Shane said on 28/Oct/21
@Canson please see my comment a fee spots down. What you think?
King Spattan said on 10/Oct/21
Rob,I doubt he's taller than Big Show I can see Big Show edging him out barefoot because he's got a bigger head and build you think??
recapa said on 14/Sep/21
211 for kg and 210 for dirk and 208 for tim duncan sounds good.
Canson said on 14/Aug/21
No chance he’s 6’11 7/8”. Shaq has about an inch on him
jhan kharlo said on 13/Aug/21
6ft 11 ⅞ (99.99%) sure w/o shoes.
d reason y hi didn't want to put 7 footer n nba because hi didn't want to play a center...
jhan kharlo said on 13/Aug/21
6ft 11 ⅞ (99.99%) sure
Shane said on 28/Jul/21
@Canson: I agree. I think we have to remember that their was so much height inflation on listings through his era, which likely makes him seem taller than he and Dirk were. If KG were playing now, his 6'1l" listing wouldn't stand out quite as much as it did then, since -- on average -- I'd say NBA listings are at least a half an inch to maybe close to 3/4" of an inch lower on average now than they were in the 80s up until the new policy was enacted.
Canson said on 26/Jul/21
@Shane: KG did look taller than a lot of guys that size. But I wonder if Dirk wasn’t really a weak 6’11 afternoon guy. A 6’10.5-.75 guy as he fits in the middle between KG and Duncan. I’d put KG at 6’11 flat peak since he would’ve probably had a wide variance. Maybe he measured 6’11 and change earlier in the day. But that confirms Embiid likely is 6’11.75 at his afternoon or evening height unless Garnett shrunk

Shane said on 9/Jul/21
@Canson I must admit I'm stunned and how short KG looks with Embid. Geez. Wish we could see footwear. Got to think KG is almost barefoot and Embid in a tall shoe. Like I said, the Era from like early 90s to mid 2000s had the most inflation in NBA history imo, and maybe it was even more than we realized. Garnett was always said to measure 7'1" to 7'2" in shoes and 6'11 3/4" Embid is absolutely towering him. Yet Garnett was easily taller than any other 6'11" listed guy when he played and taller than almost everyone listed at 7 foot. Hmmmm.
Paugasolneedapage said on 19/Jun/21
Rob why didn’t Pau Gasol has a page ?? I am curious how tall he is ..... is he a hair below the 7 foot line or right around or a hair above ?? He seems to be taller than KG ..... sorta similar to Embiid
Editor Rob
would need to look at him more
recapa said on 12/May/21
KG and 6ft10 1/4 (probably 6ft9.5 at evning) karl anthony towns Click Here looks about 1.5 inch taller to me wich would add up .6ft11 for KG.
Chaos Control 6'2.5 said on 21/Mar/21
With this guy, Durant, KPH and Nash the average Kevin still isn’t 6’0? How?
Editor Rob
there are 10 more sub 6 foot Kevin's than 6ft or over Kevin's.
Jtm said on 13/Mar/21
Doesn’t even look a full 6’11 with joel embiid
Robbe said on 4/Feb/21
Aldridge can pull of 6'11 in some pictures. His eyeline is about the same as 7ft Pau Gasol's, but Pau has bigger forehead Click Here

Aldridge is also noticeable taller than 6'9.75 Davis and Drummond Click Here

I couldn't find any picture of Aldridge next to Garnett. Both guys probably within 0.5in.
JayHay said on 20/Jan/21
I think Garnett’s probably about 6’11 1/4 at a low now, at 44 he’s probably lost about a 1/4 of an inch.
Canson said on 16/Jan/21
He needs a downgrade to 6’11 flat seeing him with Shaq and Embiid
Canson said on 13/Jan/21
@Animus: yea Aldridge likely grew. Was 6’10 when drafted maybe 6’10 and change today. He’s not much taller you’re right. Duncan is likely just a solid 6’10 Durant 6’9-6’9.5 range. IMHO Garnett is a full 6’11 but no higher and Lebron 6’7” flat
Animus said on 7/Jan/21
@Robbe @Canson

I didn't claim that Duncan is taller than Aldridge; I said they are close in height. Keep in mind that Duncan bends his neck all the time and also has suboptimal upper back posture a lot. It's quite visible in a lot of photos of him. Aldridge may very well be taller, although not by a lot.

I agree with @Vincent Caleb. Duncan edges Durant and due to that and a host of other reasons, he is likely not below 6'10. As I Have written previously, he also looks roughly three inches taller than LeBron.
FriedChicken said on 24/Dec/20
Flat 6'11 in my opinion. Embiid looks an inch taller.
Vincent Caleb said on 18/Dec/20
@Robbe:
Aldridge may have a slight edge, but I wouldn’t go under 6’10” for Tim. If you look at a lot of the pics of him and Durant, you will see he often has an edge.
Canson said on 17/Dec/20
I can see KG as 6’11 but not over. Shaq is noticeably taller and other guys like Embiid are too

@Animus and Robbe: Robbe is right Aldridge is taller than Duncan in almost every pic I’ve seen of them. I doubt it’s more than maybe 2cm. I wonder if Aldridge grew since he was drafted being Aldridge was taller than KD when they’ve been pictured together. I almost said played together but they didn’t. Aldridge came out a year before
OriginalAnon said on 17/Dec/20
He isn't below 6'11'' and I could see 6'11.5" for Garnett.
Robbe said on 17/Dec/20
I don't think the first pic was biased. Aldridge looks visible taller there.

Click Here

Duncan doesn't look much taller than Durant. Both men look like 2in shorter than Marc Gasol.

I know there are pics where Duncan can look a legit 6'10. But there is zero chance Duncan is taller than Aldridge. I think it's pretty safe to say Aldridge is a strong 6'10, and Duncan is a weak 6'10. I can buy that.
Animus said on 16/Dec/20
@Robbe

That's really a biased sample of Aldrige and Duncan. Here is another picture of them together: Click Here
Duncan looks a lot taller than Aldrige there. I'm not saying he is, but that just goes to show you that there exists pictures online, where Duncan looks like the taller man.
Having perused some pictures of them together, I think they're close to the same height.
Looking at Duncan next to David Robinson and Shaquille O'Neal, it's clear he's shorter but it varies by how much. He typically looks 1-2 inches shorter than those guys. That leads me to believe he is a strong 6'10. He is a bit tricky to figure out, though, because sometimes he has extremely relaxed posture and sometimes he will actively bend his neck. Sometimes he can look only an inch or two taller than LeBron, but I think a picture like this is more representative of their height difference: Click Here
Duncan is probably about three inches taller than LeBron, which jives well with where I put him anyways. If I have to give a precise figure, I'd say 6'10¼. I wouldn't completely rule out 6'10½ either, but for now I'd go with 6'10¼. (By the way, I recall reading that he was measured at 6'11 w/o shoes at the draft, but that could have been early in the morning, assuming he did in fact measure that.)
Canson said on 13/Dec/20
@Recapa: all great estimates!
Robbe said on 13/Dec/20
Aldridge is at least an inch taller than Duncan. He is looking down when speaking to him.

Click Here

If Aldridge is 6'10, Duncan can't be much over 6'9. Aldridge's height is though debatable, he can look over 6'10 in many pictures.
recapa said on 11/Dec/20
speaking of tim and dirk i have tim at 6ft10 or at least 208cm flat and dirk at 6ft10 3/4 or at worst 210cm ,marc gasol 6ft11 flat ,aldrege 6ft10 flat,manu ginobili 6ft5 flat if not 196cm.
Canson said on 9/Dec/20
@Duhon: i would’ve thought Duncan was 6’10 although he looks shorter than Aldridge. Aldridge also measured 6’10. Duncan looks 6’9 range consider Gasol is 6’11 range
Robbe said on 9/Dec/20
I've been wondering about the Lopez brothers, which one is taller?

Click Here

Both are listed at 7ft, but like said, Brook has measured 6'11.25 barefoot. I didn't find Robin's height without shoes. Anybody? Maybe Robin (on the left) has slight edge there? Surely they can't be exact the same height.

Robin with 7ft listed Lauri Markkanen Click Here
Editor Rob
look too close to call
Duhon said on 6/Dec/20
I'm surprised neither Dirk nor Tim Duncan have a page however how would any of you ball park the heights of the 4 gentleman here? Click Here
Canson said on 3/Dec/20
@Duhon: Lopez was a morning measurement but he could look taller in pics at times
Duhon said on 21/Nov/20
Garnett looks to be about even to a slight edge on 6'11.25" Lopez here Click Here
Canson said on 16/Nov/20
@JD1996: it may be more of a worst case than a best but I wonder if Garnett himself was an early morning at times. If Shaq is only around 7’ I wonder if Garnett may dip under. Not to mention I’ve seen pics with dirk Nowitzki and he looked shorter in some. Not to mention Brook Lopez who only measured 6’11.25 too. Garnett is very long
JD1996 said on 16/Nov/20
@canson yeah that’s what I was thinking that as well, I always thought embiid was a solid 214 cm guy he always look slightly north of 7’0” flat to me! It’s also possible that maybe 6’11.75” could be his absolute low and he normally hovers 1/2 inch above it at his normal low on normal days because he’s so tall.
Canson said on 15/Nov/20
@JD1996: I’ll be honest and say that’s possible he slouched. It was hard to see Embiid under 7’0” until it happened. But if he is, this is likely the afternoon height seeing him with KG
JD1996 said on 14/Nov/20
@canson well Joel looks easily over 7 ft there maybe he was slouching A bit when he got Measured perhaps or maybe if that isn’t that case Kevin is shorter than listed, tbh even if Joel had a bit of advantage he still looks a good 3 cm taller.
Canson said on 10/Nov/20
@JD1996: I wonder if it’s angle or footwear there. Possible (yet slim) that Garnett has lost a fraction already.
Duhon said on 9/Nov/20
I think Joel was one of the few players who got listed at his low. Embiid looks taller than 6'11.75", not 7'2" but probably just over 7'.
JD1996 said on 8/Nov/20
Click Here With supposedly 6’11.75” Joel embiid he looks no taller than 6’10.25” so maybe he’s overlisted or perhaps Joel embiid is actually taller than 6’11.75” either way whatever their heights at least 1.5 inches difference between garnett and embiid not just 3/4 as shown here.
recapa said on 26/Oct/20
6ft11 flat for KG would be good but close enough.ngl, KG have one of the best porpotions that i,ve seen on a tall guy.
Canson said on 28/Sep/20
Agree with the Don. Solid 6’11 peak height

@Tall Sam: maybe 6’11 flat but I doubt less. Only because Shaq came clean with 6’11.75
Tall Sam said on 23/Mar/20
Not less than listed with the Uncut Gems cast, his head barely fits in the same frame with any of his cast mates.
Jean214 said on 15/Mar/20
6'11 (210.8)
with 2010 6'11.75(212.7) Shaquille O'Neal
Canson said on 9/Feb/20
@Robbe; but you can also see how Silver stands with him versus KG. Silver tilts his head up etc
Robbe said on 2/Feb/20
KG looks the same height as 7ft Lauri Markkanen, compared to 6'3 Adam Silver.

Click Here

On the other hand, KG is visible shorter than 6'11.75 Joel Embiid, who is hair shorter than Markkanen, so Canson is probably right.
Nik Ashton said on 1/Feb/20
It’s interesting that the NBA didn’t list him as at least 212 cm!
Canson said on 31/Jan/20
Average guess is too high. He’s closer to 6’11 than 7’
Canson said on 30/Jan/20
Garnett is also raising his head in that pic. I doubt he’s really that much taller than those two. Maybe 6’11 or 6’11.25 and those two could be 6’9” and 6’10” or 6’10.25 or 6’9.25
Que lo Que said on 5/Jan/20
Rob, imagine the dimension of these players if they were a foot shorter. If KG was a foot shorter, than he would be nearly identical to Christian Bale in dimension.

@Junior: only thing is Tyson Chandler looks more 6’11” flat. I see the 6’11.5 as a morning ish height. I do agree Pau could be a weak 7’0”. He’s not as tall as Andrew Bynum either and Kobe and MWP look taller than they are next to him so he’s prob not that tall in reality.

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 2/Aug/19
@Canson I doubt Dirk Nowitzki is 6'10 that low. Atually Dirk can look a full inch shorter than Tyson Chandler and also Dirk look at least 6'10 1/2 compare to KD. Giannis could have wear orthotics more chance than KD did on the court so suspicious to be 1/4 of Gia taller than KD due to it. They're like the same height. KG look to have 1.75" on KD the last time i seen it, KG had Gia few years back that short clip also 1.75". Whether they measure 6'9 1/2 a low or not but they are what we see it. There is no way Gia grow that much from 6'9 1/2 to weak 6'11 we all know that. More irritating is people keep assume Pau Gasol listing because he is listed at 7'0 and they keep buying that and thought he is like 7'1. Lol. Pau only look barely an inch or 1.25" taller than Dirk from the past. Shaq is not over 7'0 and always look 1/2 taller than Pau although could be spotted Shaq footwear a bit thicker than most players. Shaq and Pau is between 1/4 at most and a weak 7'0 is applied to Pau Gasol from 6'11 1/2-3/4, Tyson is slightly shorter than Pau like 6'11 1/4-1/2. Dirk is strong 6'10 not flat ones so at least 6'10 1/4 or 3/8 absoulute lowest. Back on Garnett a solid 211cm guy perhaps early of the day he may look 212cm and i heard he was never being measure during drafted just like Tim Duncan.
Canson said on 30/Jul/19
@Joe: he always wears thick shoes. He did say he hates being tall but he looks somewhere in the 6’5 range like he claims. Maybe for his peak he was strong 6’5”. 6’5.25 up to 6’5.5. Today he can look a solid 6’5” guy.
Joe*** said on 22/Jul/19
I do not believe stern hates being tall he big shoes and perfert posture.
Canson_VA said on 1/Jul/19
@Junior: I can buy 6’9.75 for Giannis but no higher. He may be 6’9.5 like you said. Garnett looked about 1.5” taller than him in a pic they had
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 7/Jun/19
Click Here I suspect that Giannis did not grow after measure at 6'9 1/2 during 2013-2014 between 19-20 of age. That IG picture with Kobe is deceiving because Kobe might be barefooted and make him look 6'10.75" we wouldn't know it.

@Hahayeah True they are not listed barefoot. Shaq had claim he was only 6'11 twice in the past, the worst part KG could 6'11 1/2 with sneakers on.
Duhon said on 23/Apr/19
KG and Yao Click Here
Canson said on 22/Apr/19
Camby was 6’10” max. Garnett was always taller than him as he’s a legit 6’11”
Hahayeah said on 22/Apr/19
I wonder if Marcus Camby and Kevin Garnett is the same height ?? If not then who's taller ?? I always feel most of these 6-11 listed players in the NBA are not as tall as they are listed barefoot
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 20/Apr/19
Strange thing happen when Shaq claim 6'11 while he often look to edge out KG by 3/4 inch to 1" That would make KG 6'10-6'10 1/4. The inflation was Shaq claim 7'1 that would make KG 7'0-7' 1/4.
Canson said on 26/Mar/19
Says here that he measured 6’11” at the pre draft. No mention to “a little over”. I say that because Shawn Respert is mentioned as “a little below 6’1” in the barefoot measurement. I remember it was 6’0.75 despite him famously being listed as 6’3” on the roster

Click Here
Canson said on 20/Mar/19
@Shane: I have Ray at 6’3.75 at a low and 6’4.5 out of bed perhaps. He looks close to 6’4 but he looks close to what some guys listed 6’5 in the league look who may be around 6’3.5 at a low. 6’3.5 is possible too
Shane said on 18/Mar/19
As for Ray Allen, 6'3 1/4" to 6'3 1/2" max for a regular low. 6'4" range out of bed. I've never felt he looked like one of those guys who is close to his listed height barefoot.
Shane said on 18/Mar/19
@Duhon I think KG has an inch and a half on Greek Freak there, especially considering he has hair advantage, is slightly closer to camera and may have footwear advantage.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 1/Mar/19
Click Here Funny that Mason Plumlee use to have 6'11 1/4 without shoes for his drafted measurements while Mason always look an inch lower than Garnett.

Click Here Mason had some thin hair and counted in was not even touching the top of KG head. Mason is probably 6'10-6'10 1/4 max. His two other brothers Miles and Marshall both look taller than him. Tallest among might be Marshall look around 6'11 1/2 Tyson Chandler range.
Canson said on 21/Jan/19
@Ellis: Giannis likely has grown since being drafted
Ellis said on 19/Jan/19
Giannis, is a little taller than Kevin Durant, because of his frame that makes him look taller than he actually is at times. I think that Giannis is right around the neighborhood of 6'9.5-6'9.75, he gets up at a little over 6'10 and goes to bed probably at 6'9 or maybe a little taller.
Duhon posted a great picture of Giannis and Kevin Garnett standing together, and KG looks no more than 1.5 inches taller. If I'm assuming that KG is 6'11.25 and obviously above 7 with shoes, then Giannis is right around 6'9.75 barefoot. Also, he looks a legit 6'11 in shoes when he plays whereas a lot of NBA players are under the listed mark in shoes and rounding up.

Canson
maybe 6´10 or 6´9.75
Canson said on 18/Dec/18
@Joe: you may be right. Draft Express lists him as 6’9” so that’s likely rounded up. I compared him to Malcolm Brogdon who measured 6’3.75 at the draft combine so really more like 6’3-6’3.5 range for discussion purposes. That looks like if Giannis is that height that it would be a low however. I don’t see below 6’9” to be honest
Canson said on 18/Dec/18
@Joe: Giannis did? Maybe Greek Freak is closer to the camera but I would still say he’s close to 5” taller than Kobe. I wouldn’t have guessed less than 6’9.5. I have Kobe as 195cm and if he dips under its mm’s below prob
Duhon said on 18/Dec/18
An article from 2014 says he was measured at 6'9.5" barefoot but had grown to "almost 6'11" now. Click Here

He along with KD is one of the few players who does look like he's grown since his draft. Both were very skinny and didn't look fully mature physically.
viper said on 18/Dec/18
I agree the Greek freak is 6-10.

Amazing how athletic he is at that height. More like a 6-7 dude.

How tall would you say Giannis is now next to Garnett? Click Here

Looks close to his 6'11" listing seeing as KG is a bit over 6'11" himself.

@Junior: I don’t buy Kidd being 6’3” peak. He looks 6’2”-6’2.5 while Kobe 6’4.5-6’5 (weak 6’5 vs strong 6’2).

Canson said on 13/Jul/18
@Viper: he can look under at times especially with Paul pierce. If Pierce measured a flat 6’6” there’s a chance that he may dip under the mark to maybe 6’5.75 or .5. Mickey a poster here met him and said he’s around 6’5.5 is how he guessed him (actually 6’5 3/8) so same thing. I didn’t think he was that low honestly would’ve figured 6’6, but maybe 6’5.75. Allen also looks sub 6’4 with Rashard Lewis. Better chance Denzel had lost height by then to be honest. Rob lists him 5’11.75. I also look at Ray with Dwayne Wade and that’s an inch. I’d be extremely surprised if Wade were 6’3” at a low. He looks more like a weak 6’3” guy and the pic with Wilton Speight proves that. Speight measures 6’5.25 at the combine (supposedly) and if that’s in the morning he’s even less. But I’ll give him 6’5” flat and Wade still looked under 6’3” with him either way you go despite the camera advantage Speight has on him which makes it appear more than it really is. I balled with Keith Bogans in high school and have seen him over the years and he’s about my height. He gives a taller impression than Allen does imho. Bogans actually is a legit 6’4” if not a strong 6’4” like me
viper said on 8/Jul/18
Thought Ray looked a good 6-4 in He got game compared to Denzel
Canson said on 7/Jul/18
@Junior: I can safely rule anything over 6’4” out just with how Ray looks with Rashard Lewis and with Paul Pierce. And while I could certainly believe Pierce measuring a full 6’6, I could also see 6’5.5-6’6” if that were in the morning. But to be fair he prob is not less than maybe 197.5-198 since he’s very much Melo’s height in pics (maybe give or take a CM). Christian made a good point because I struggle to see Wade even measuring 6’3” at a low. I would easily expect 6’2.75 or .5 or in between as he looks weak 6’3”
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 5/Jul/18
@Junior

I can't see Ray being 6'4.5" or 6'4.75" since Wade isn't 6'3.75"
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 4/Jul/18
@Canson I not sure about Ray is only under 6'4. But i know Ray is not over 6'4 1/2 but just going with drafted measurement players like Dwyane Wade looking an inch shorter than Ray so i wonder Rob will list him here at 6'4.75".
Canson said on 30/Jun/18
@Junior: max 6’4”. Maybe 6’3.75. Pierce is 2” taller. Rashard Lewis is supposed to be 6’8.5 but can even look 6’8 with Dwight Howard. I’ll give some camera advantage to him since there are other times when he looks closer to Lewis in height. If Ray is 6’4.5 or .75 he would be listed at 6’6 not 6’5”

KH said on 26/May/18
Embiid isn't 7'2 but he is definitely at the very minimum 7'0 and he is clearly taller the Kevin Garnett who I would put at 6'11. It doesnt really matter what the Sixers say if you follow the NBA you can clearly see he is one of tallest players in the league just by eyeballing him on the court. Rudy Gobert and Boban Marinovich are the only guys noticeably taller off the top of my head. Nerlens Noel is about 6'10 in bare feet maybe he drops to like 6'9.75 in the evening.
Canson said on 26/May/18
@Joe: PG13 is taller than Lebron pretty easily. He’s not less than 6’8” maybe even more. As for Melo he’s a definite 6’6. Butler does look 6’5 at times maybe 6’5.5.

Jimmy Butler looks 6´5 to me but with carmelo anthony being a 198 strong i would be surprised if it measured more than 6´5, Jimmy is 2hinches shoter paul george and my guenness for paul is 6´6.75 or 6´7.
Canson said on 22/May/18
@Joe: you’re right based on this pic. I can’t see footwear. But that doesn’t surprise me. Thibs has Wiggins at 6’8”. Wiggins didn’t attend the pre draft but next to 6’6” Scott Van Pelt he looks as tall as him at absolute best. Van Pelt is a legit 6’6” as he is from the DC area and a buddy of mine played golf with him and confirmed it. Viper also confirmed the same. Also Jimmy Butler. He doesn’t look even 6’6 like his pre draft. He’s not as tall as Wiggins and close to 1.5” shorter than Scottie Pippen. Wiggins imho would be lucky to be over 6’5.5-.75. Butler went from 6’7” to 6’8 when he joined the Twolves

DksDude said on 2/Feb/18
isn't measuring height to the nearest tenth of a centimetre a bit ridiculous since even you mentioned that height fluctuates throughout that fay
Editor Rob
It's a guess of height mainly to 1/4 (although nearly 90% of all entries are whole inches), on very rare occasion to 1/8th if it fits with a measurement or height claim.

The metric used to be displayed to nearest whole cm, but it was changed a year or so ago to 1 decimal place to match up with the average guess, which was being displayed like that.

We aren't really guessing to 1 decimal place of course ;)
Canson said on 18/Jan/18

KD said in shoes he was 7'0". So take away the foot wear he is about 6'11", I don't think KD is the same height as KG. I've seen KG with Shaq, appeared 3/4 shorter, if Shaq was in his prime maybe it would of been an inch between them. But I'll give KG 7'0".

@Guanzo: the pics you posted aren’t any good. Embiid is def favored with Nerlens and it’s more likely Noel is at best 6’10. He isn’t as tall as Dirk. As junior said he was listed 6’11 when drafted. Maybe he grew to 7’0” max and that could even be his legit height or near it. I believe you that he grew possibly but not by a lot. The angle is bad with Garnett and I bet if they switched spots it would diminish the difference between them. But Keis and Chris said he’s 7’2 because articles say it and what they said is foolish. Because the sixers call him 7’2 he is? but the NBA lists him 7’0 still they would’ve changed it if he were that tall. They used to also say (the timberwolves) that Garnett was 7’2” when he’s 6’11” barefoot

@Canson Durant was measured at 6'9.75 not a flat 6'9 or 6'9.5. Also front back or side to side Kd is not shorter than Deandre, DJ has high shoulders and a afro but he's not taller. And lol at Lopez being taller than KG they literally stood back to back and KG was taller , so that's not up for debate. And also Embrid is about 7'2 barefoot now don't argue me I'm 100 percent sure of that.

@Chris: you're posting pictures that favor the person you want to be taller. Everyone here that has commented on this page says Lopez is taller than Garnett. Worst case it's a wash and they're the same. I mean most people here comment on and upgrade or downgrade or leave the same but you take yours (always an upgrade) directly out on Rob!
Canson said on 11/Jul/17
Chris: your pics are worse. You "conveniently" chose something to make Durant taller. Below are two better pics. Both where Oden is taller. One we can't see feet and looks a greater difference but they are back to back so it's obvious he's taller than Durant more than an inch it's close to 2". You're also comparing two guys with hats on number one and Durant is in front of Oden in your pic. As for deandre Jordan and KD I posted the link below. Scroll down to the Rio olympics butler is in front of KD DJ is behind him. No way in hell KD is taller than him he's actually shorter. kD isn't a flat 6'9 he's closer to what rob has him 6'9.5 or .25 while DJ is 6'9.75. In this case all the players you mentioned are actually and look their actual listed heights maybe Durant shading a bit over 6'9" but close enough. You also stated that AD is 6'10.5 barefoot when he is not that is his shoe height and you are also assessing KD a shoe height now to make up ground. If you are gonna argue that "If Lebron measured 6'7, then he really is", then that's what KD is because he measured it 6'9". If you are going to argue one then you must argue the other. If he were shorter than listed then I could see it but they would not underlist his pre draft they would do that on the roster. Otherwise you provide no other proof other than so and so said they're this height so they must be. Durant claims his shoes everyone knows that. He didn't mysteriously grow 2". He was 6'10.25 when drafted with sneaks and is still around that now maybe give a 1/4"-1/2" tops. Him claiming that height is his shoe height as the other players in the league also claim it.

Chris said on 11/Jul/17
@Canson

Durant certainly did say he's taller than 6'9, and he certainly did say that he low-balls his height because he wanted to be compared to Lebron James. And Durant certainly has said he's 6'11/7 foot in reality

And I literally can't find a picture where Deandre Jordan is taller than Kevin Durant. Durant is taller in all of them. So let's call 6'10 the absolute minimum he could be.

You're posting pictures, with perspectives that flatter Brook Lopez (to prove your point). As I said, Lopez is stood in front of Garnett in all of those pictures. Here they are back-to-back and Garnett is obviously taller. Not only are his shoulders heigher but so is his head.

There is a really good picture online, of Garnett standing, literally, back-to-back with Brook Lopez. It was a publicity picture when he joined the Nets. Studying it, I'd say Garnett is half an inch taller than Brook Lopez. And Brook Lopez was measured, flat footed, at 6'11.25 at the combine.

That's pretty conclusive proof that Garnett is taller than 6'11.25 (what you list here) and is closer to 7 foot. My personal estimate is he's 6'11.75
Chris said on 7/Jul/17
Kevin Garnett is 6'11 at the very least. You have to remember, some players list themselves as being shorter than their real height for all-sorts of reasons. Believe-it-or-not, sometimes they get advised to low-ball their height, for things like marketing. Kevin Durant, for example, said in an interview once that he purposefully lists himself at 6'9 because he wants to be compared to Lebron James (listed at 6'8). His team wanted the listed heights similar, so their would be a rivalry. He was worried if he was listed at his real height (6'11) that he wouldn't happen, and he'd be seen as a "big man"

Chris he was drafted at 6'9 and is shorter than Deandre Jordan who is 6'9.75. He never said anything about being like Lebron James to be 6'9 because Lebron is 6'7 either way that is his drafted height and a height he admitted to.

Click Here

6'8" in shoes. He admitted here to being 6'7". Durant is shorter than Deandre Jordan LOL. You are always trying to upgrade people the same way you try to say others downgrade. And there is no proof anywhere that Embiid was 7'0" when he was drafed. That is his shoe height according to draft express a year earlier and with no proof he grew that is inadmissible. At least if you are going to argue, use facts. There are none here. Embiid at 7'2 is likely a shoe measurement rounded up or in the morning. He is 3" taller than Okafor and Okafor is 6'9" Contrary to your belief as well as Keis's people don't typically grow past 18. You believe they do because you want them to.

@Keis: You know that you are going off of what someone says they are (in shoes). He's 3" taller than Jahlil Okafor. Okafor has a 6'10.5 or 6'10.75 in shoes last time he was measured. meaning barefoot he is 6'9.25-.5. The pre drafts take place in the morning remember.

And, by-the-way, it's only the NBA who list him at 7'0. Because that's how tall he was when he was drafted at 19. The 76ers actually do list him at 7'2 on their website, and when he's introduced in home games it's 7'2 as well.

And, to finish up, he actually said himself, recently, that he was now 7'2. When he was pursuing Rhianna in the media, he was boasting about being 7'2
Chris said on 7/Jul/17
@Canson

Embiid has grown a lot since he was drafted, though. He's legitimately 7'2, without a doubt. I've seen him in photos, stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Nerlens Noel (measure 6'10 flat-footed at combine) and Karl Anthony Towns (measured 6'10.25 flat footed at the combine) and he's a lot bigger than both of them. I mean, he really is 4-5 inches taller. It's in that ballpark.

The players listed at 6'11 in the NBA (let's say they're all 6'10 flat footed) he's really not in that height group any more. He's much closer to people like Porzingis at 7'2 or 7'3
Canson said on 6/Jul/17
Joel Embiid is not 7'2". His draft bio has a 2013 measurement of 7'0" in shoes. At most maybe he grew a full inch and 7' barefoot but no more and which is possibly believable with him next to a 6'9" jahleel okafor

Sorry Keis but How is that possible when he measured a solid 7'0" in shoes in 2013? He was drafted in 2014. He didn't grow 3" in a year as an adult. Embiid is a natural center in the NBA he wouldn't be underlisted by 2 inches when he is already playing and has already played that position.

Funny to see grown ass males cry over another dudes height. First off Shaq isn't 7'1. Wilt Chamberlain was measured barefooted at 7'1 and was clearly at least 1 inch taller than Shaq. This is a old 60 or so Wilt so he was probably less than 7'1.

Most basketball players height are their height with shoes on. For example my favorite player was Shawn Kemp as a child. He was listed at 6'10 but years later I found out barefooted he was 6'8 3/4. In some cases guys will just lie about their height. Patrick Ewing is listed at 7'0 but is in reality 6'9 3/4.

So trying to use this guy is this height and Kevin Garnett is taller so he must be this height. Also I have cards where Garnett is listed at low as 6'10.

Canson said on 25/Mar/17
@Shane agree with everything you said and it's also likely Morning in shoe measurement. But for his size he is over 7'0" out of bed most likely and 6'11 evening height
Shane said on 24/Mar/17
I remember Flip Saunders, who coached KG with the Minnesota Timberwolves, claiming to have measured him at 7'1" a couple years after he was in the league. Two things: one, I don't doubt the measurement being accurate or close. But two, you can bet big money that was an in-shoes measurement.
Canson said on 3/Mar/17
@S.J.H: agreed! I think solid 6'11. Esp next to Shaq.
Canson said on 2/Mar/17
SHAQ is taller than KG. KG being tall having a longer spine maybe a guy who honestly wakes up over 7' and dips to flat 6'11 like S.J.H says. I doubt below that and I doubt he's higher than 6'11.25 (he edges Deandre Jordan by 1.5").
S.J.H said on 30/Jan/17
Kevin Garnett may just be an honest 6'11 not quite over
The One said on 30/Jan/17
KG looked shorter than Shaq on TV the other day.

Compare him to Randy Moss, KG and Charles Barkley as well.
Omar said on 26/Jan/17
On inside the NBA, he was taller than shaq. I think KG is 6'11.5" and shaq has shrunk to 6'11.25"

I don't get it. Garnett is sure 211cm and big show is like 210cm?? Shaquille O'neal 213cm had big show by 2"

Once you get to 6ft10+ range you can lose close to 2in throughout the day. So this guy could be 6ft11 flat at his lowest and almost 7ft1 straight out of bed.
S.J.H said on 21/Sep/16
I have see KG only look 2cm shorter than 7'0 Shaq. 6'11.25 sound accurate. Tim duncan might have fall into 6'10.75 compare to KG and dirk nowitzki another 6'10.75 guy with shoe at 7'0
Canson said on 17/Jul/16
There is probably at most an inch between he and Shaq. Shaq likely a sub 7' at night but he's probably in that category where he'd be close enough to 7' to claim it. KG solid 6'11.
Canson194 said on 17/Jul/16
@Rampage: I put on a pair of steel toe work boots yesterday that had a thick 2+" heel. I got all the way to about 6'7" in them (was slightly above the light fixture in my house that stands 6'6.5)
Dawkins said on 15/Jul/16
213 cm out of bed, 211 cm at night.
Canson said on 8/Jul/16
@Height: even if he dropped below 6'11 to maybe 6'10 7/8 he's still a legit 6'11 if that's his lowest. It is possible esp with his size. We don't know when these guys are measured either. Now KG does have longer legs which may mitigate loss but at that size 1-1.5" loss is highly possible. But to me I've always (look at the previous posts) said he's 6'11 flat. I agree he looks that but not anywhere near 7'
Canson said on 6/Jul/16
@Height: Howard is 6'9 barefoot per his pre draft. I see KG as a solid 6'11 guy
Height said on 4/Jul/16
Al little food for thought: He always seems to maintain at least a clear 2 inch edge on Dwight Howard, so if he were to shrink under 6'11 at night, wouldn't he seem about the same height as Dwight on the court?
Canson said on 2/Jul/16
@Shane: I'd have to agree with you. He is easily 7'0 maybe even a hair over out of bed. This is the height where you start to see people losing 1.5" regularly (like I was explaining to Jake on Lebron's page). That range prob starts around 6'10.
Canson said on 2/Jul/16
@Rampage: LMAO!!!!! Wow that'd be a hilarious seen!!!!!!!!!! I wonder what it is like (well sometimes don't lol) to be 6'11 or 7' like him or Shaq, all the others Andre the Giant etc. they severely tower!!!!!!!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Jul/16
@Canson: As a joke one time, I measured myself in my girlfriends 7in heels...got to over 6ft11 but couldn't walk in them! If only height was test-drivable...
Canson said on 25/Jun/16
I doubt he'd be 7'1 out of bed. Really doubt it. Maybe 7' and go down to 6'10.75. I doubt 6'11 flat is his lowest esp being Shaq can measure under 7'0 at his lowest. He's about an inch maybe even 3/4 inch taller than Duncan or Nowitzki
Shane said on 14/Jun/16
Garnett is between 6'11" and 6'11" 1/2 barefoot. And to those saying he is 7 foot out of bed.... well, if hes 7 foot out of bed hes 7 foot!
Canson said on 22/Apr/16
He's as listed!

Lol Rampage, you want to be 6'11?? That's a lofty goal!!!!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Apr/16
He's of an enviable stature...
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Mar/16
He's very well-proportioned for a 6ft11er

Ive seen Henk Norel , a dutch basketballplayer who stands 6'11 in Prague , when I was 15 and 5'11 . Never had a persons height overwhelmed me like that . It was almost shocking how tall he was .

@lsu alum: yep Duhon obviously read the disclaimer since he seems to believe these are the Holy Grail
lsu alum said on 11/Oct/15
does anyone on this site intellegent enought to read the disclaimer on the DRaftexpress site. Everyone uses that reference as if it was definitive. They clearly state that they did not measure anyone, and are just printing what other writers have stated.
S.J.H said on 24/Mar/15
Jeremy Lin 6ft3 that make would made up kobe at 6ft6.25 LOL.
Lorne said on 7/Mar/15
Click Here

According to that, his ore-draft measurement really was 6ft11: he seems a tad taller, but it seems legit with other players stats:

For example, it has Dwight Howard at 6ft9(instead of 6'11) Nick Young at 6'5(instead of a ludicrous 6'7, since he looks shorter than Kobe) and Jeff Teague at 6ft0.25, instead of 6ft2.

On a side note, Jeremy Lin really did measure 6ft3!

Wish we could find measurements for Jordan, Kobe etc.
Lorne said on 24/Feb/15
This is a good listing. He could very well be 6'11.5 range afternoon, but the 7ft+ stuff is nonsense. Although he easily would clear 7ft out of bed...

Our prayers have been answered lol,good job Rob,211cm suits KG better.
GP said on 19/Feb/15
This is perfect Rob. Thanks for finding time to adjust him to his real height.
GP said on 18/Feb/15
Why not change him to 6'11.25" Rob? Are you still not convinced? I think if there is no evidence of him being taller than 211cm then he shouldn't be listed at 213cm.
Editor Rob
I had time to have a look at him and yeah maybe 11.25 is feasible.
GP said on 11/Feb/15
Rob, I remember back then you had him listed at 211 and then some people posted an interview he did with Craig Sager, who was trying to get Garnett to say that he was 7 feet tall, but Garnett kept insisting that he was 6'11" and then Sager said that he would be 7'0" with shoes since they list everybody in shoes and Garnett replied that he would be 6'11.75" in them, which still didn't make him 7'0". I think that people took that interview which I think was from the all-star game and started claiming that Garnett said that he was 6'11.75". Another one that I remember was that the GM of Timberwolves claimed back in the early days that Garnett had supposedly grown to 6'11.75", but they do that all the time to raise stock in the player. For example Cavaliers now are claiming that Tristan Thompson has grown to 6'10", when he was measured at 6'7.5" and if you look at photos, you will see that he is still the same. It's like Justin Bieber's camp saying that he has grown to 5'8", lol.
Editor Rob
the quote is supposed to be from a 1996 paper, but it is quite possible he is 6ft 11 and change.
GP said on 10/Feb/15
It still doesn't make sense. Like the photo that walking tall posted, Brook is standing little behind Garnett and they are still the same height. So in order for him to be 213cm then Brook has to have an inch shoe advantage to be the same height and be further from the camera. Brook wore regular 1.25" shoes at the pre draft measurement and the ones he has on they don't look much more.
Editor Rob
I think it was another forum someone had said Garnett claimed to be the 6ft 11.75, he had grown a fraction back in his early days.
GP said on 9/Feb/15
Rob, how come he is the same height as Brook Lopez on all the media day photos? Lopez was measured at 6'11.25" at pre draft and I don't think Garnett has ever claimed 6'11.75". So I'm gonna assume that he is 211cm unless otherwise there is proof of him being 213cm.
Editor Rob
there is a good chance he has less thicker sneakers beside brook.
WalkingTall6ft3.35 inches said on 6/Feb/15
Kevin is 6'11 flat,below is a photo with Brook Lopez who's 6'11.25 barefoot as measured in draft combine according to draftexpress....no further evidence needed i think to downgrade Garnett.

Connor6ft said on 2/Feb/15
Rob so 213.36cm is 7ft?
Editor Rob
yes exactly that.
Connor6ft said on 31/Jan/15
Rob isn't 6ft 11.75 212cm? I thought 213cm is 7ft?
Editor Rob
it's closer to the 213cm mark than the 212. That's how all the rounding is done. If something is 212.6 it gets rounded to 213, if it was 212.4 then we'd round it to the 212....just the nearest cm mark.

You could round everything down if you wanted though, but I was trying to list the closest 'round' cm for the equivalent feet/inch mark.
Tunman said on 28/Jan/15
Uh,did NBA listed him at 211 or 6'11?then why he's 3/4"over that mark here?
Did he gain height?Anyways that's strange since NBA is known for boosting everyone's height by 1" or more listing them generally at their height with shoes and rounding up
Still I trust your listing.
Editor Rob
I believe he did gain another little bit.
G2 said on 28/Jan/15
Garnett is at least 7' IMO. He was listed at 6'11.75" by his agent before the draft combine officially measured heights. The reason for this is that (especially early in his career) he played PF/SF instead of C. Listing a player at 7'+ carries with it the connotation that he can only play center. KG played out on the wing as much as he did in the paint.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Jan/15
Fluctuating between a strong 7ft1 and a weak 7ft...wow!
He's well-proportioned for such a immense stature. Guys like Big Show, Andre and Khali are total car wrecks with their multiple surgeries and weight fluctuations.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Jan/15
Rob, how tall would you say Garnett is out of bed?
Editor Rob
he may shrink 1.25 inch range, he could be 7ft 1ish
BigTrucka said on 13/Jan/15
Shaq is over 7'0" he's a legit 7'1" I met shaq in Miami back when he was with the heat and I stand 6'9.5" (barefoot measured several times by doctors,etc) and probably 6'10 or a lil more in shoes and he was noticeably taller and I had to look up just slightly at him. but that dude feet is ridiculous and I wear a 16 and he got a 22 he got car rims for feet
Sal said on 1/Dec/14
Hey Rob, I think this is a great estimation although Shaq always looks 2" taller than him and Shaq never looked the same height as Wilt Chamberlain or an inch shorter than Kareem. Kevin Durant needs a profile on here as well!

Why do people on here make everyone shorter to fit their own argument?!

Shaw is obviously 7'1 and Garnett is obviously 7 foot at least

It's just what you will see posted here. The Rock is 6'0.5 or 6'1 on a good day, Will Smith is 5'11 and Stallone is not even 5'8!

Fern194cm-192cm
You are 100% correct. I use to see Kevin Garnett all the time back in the day at Rucker Park in NYC. He is 6'11 flat. The whole 7ft fiasco with him when he was with the the Minnesota Timberwolves was pure BS. A marketing tool at best. Shaquille O Neal is a fraction below 7ft. In pictures he just barely edges KG out.
Fern194cm-192cm said on 20/Apr/14
This listing is incorrect I believe. I think he is 6,11 flat barefoot as per his draftexpress measurements. I think in a league where everyone who is listed at 6,11 or 7 feet is closer to 6,9 makes him standout. Similar story to kevin durant who I really think is 6,9 as well. People don't understand how enormous that actually is. Furthermore, Brook Lopez who is 6,11.25 barefoot is a bit taller than Garnett.Rob, I have a story for you and I would like you to comment on it after because I think you will have something that will add to a larger conversation. I live in Canada and there was a guy named Chad Posthumus who lived in my city. He was constantly listed at 6,11 in papers and I have met him 2x. I met him at a bar once (I'm 192 cm at night) around midnight and he was ducking under doors. I forsure thought he was 6,11. Then a few years later I guess he came back to Winnipeg from Morehead state where he plays NCAA baskebtall and I saw him again and he was just enormous. Remember, I know tall when I see on as I am tall and my brother and uncle are both strong 6,6ers (6,6.5 at night). I thought at least 6,10. I recently found out that he was invited to the Portsmouth invitational basketball camp where I noticed that he was measured at 6,9 even w/out shoes (barefoot). Long story short, people don't realize how tall that honestly is and mistake someone in that range for taller including myself as 6,9 is very rare. Of course he could be closer to 6,`0 earlier in the day as I think there is no way he would dip below that because he honestly is massive but people need to realize how tall that actually is so when people say Kevin Nash is only 6,8 they should realize that is still enormous..... it also goes to show how tall 7 feet really is....
SG said on 13/Apr/14
The man is within a quarter inch of 7 foot when he's at lowest height. Come on now this is just cruel give him 7 foot he's earned it.. haha
Brizzy said on 13/Mar/14
I think the listed height here is a bit high... by just a hair. 6'11.25"
Someone else said on 10/Feb/14
The NBA tends bill heights with playing shoes on. But there is sometimes some manipulation. KG himself said that he didn't want to be billed as 7' because he may have been made to play as a centre which he didn't like the idea of. Many people in and around the NBA believe that he is 7'0" or even 7'1". His slim frame will though make him look taller.
B said on 23/Jan/14

Kevin garnett is easily 7 feet tall. In the introduction done by the Brooklyn nets involving Paul pierce and Kevin garnett he is easily 6" taller than pierce who is 6'6" barefoot. It's a great picture too, flat ground and similar footwear worn.
Theus said on 10/May/13
The reason all you guys are saying Garnett is 6.10-11 is because he never stands fully tall in photos. Perspective has a lot to do with how you perceive someones height. Garnett is a legit 7ft tall when he stands FULLY up, no slouching. He was so reluctant to say he was taller than 6ft 11" for years because it would have meant he had to play out of position and he was never going to flaunt it.
