i would what nash's wingspan is? just curious? and yeah, it's kinda funny that the phoneix suns got two rather famous no-neck players...Shawn Marion and Amare Stoudimere....they both got virtually no neck-to-speak of which allows them to play taller than their listed heights in suppose. Manitobaboy says on 1/Jun/08
Wayne Gretzky was NOT 5'10. He wasn't 6' either. In his prime with Edmonton he playedagainst my beloved Winnipeg Jets and I hung around the locker rooms trying to meet him - everyone who did said he was about 5'11" - 5'11.5" in his socks. Because he was so slight compared to other players (175 - 180 lbs), he might have looked taller but he was never 6'.
Where did you get 5'10", "in the morning"?
6'1 1/2 in the morning says on 1/Jun/08
Steve Nash is a legit 6'1 and more like 6'1 1/2 early in the morning. He can appear shorter on camera because he has a slighter physique than the average pro basketball player which makes him appear like a person of average height. Almost every NBA player is listed between 1-2 inches taller than their actual barefoot height. This is less noticable with the taller players because they have bigger feet and their shoes have thicker soles which help hide the gap. So basically, a 5'9 player who is listed at 5'11 will have a much more noticable difference of height inflation versus a player who is 6'6 and is listed at 6'8 simply because the 6'6 player has larger feet and wears shoes with soles about 1/2 to 2/3 of an inch thicker than the 5'9 player.
Steve Nash's 6'3 listing explained:
Morning height: 6'1 1/2
Height with basketball shoes: 6'2 1/2
Rounded to the nearest higher inch: 6'3
Personally, I think a 6'2 NBA listing would of been better for Nash.
Wayne Gretzky was alwyas listed at 6'0 by the NHL but was only 5'10 barefoot. Shaq says on 31/May/08
Sager looks 6-3 max. 6-6 T-Mac has atleast 3-4 inches on him. Oz says on 26/May/08
Sager is 6'4.5" Nash was 6'1 at draft-camp in 96. Schnouzer Breath says on 25/May/08
a post way below mentions Nash being 1-2 inches shorter than Craig Sager; I believe Sager is about 6-3 and maybe change, so that would verify Nash being 6-1. MP says on 23/May/08
he is exactly my height 6'1" barefoot and 6'2" to 6'3" in shoes but I'm nly and 18 and will grow to 6'4" to 6'5" barefoot MP says on 23/May/08
he is exactly my height 6'1" Shaq says on 21/May/08
By the way allen4 Nash was measured 6'1" barefoot by the NBA. Shaq says on 21/May/08
allen4 he looks 5'11" with Shaq because Shaq is 7'1" barefoot and 7'3" in shoes while Nash is 6'1" barefoot and probably 6'2" in shoes.
Since Shaq's barefoot height is a foot above Nash's and then you factor in the additional inch advantage Shaq has in shoes then those heights make sense. allen4 says on 20/May/08
steve nash is no more than 183cm barefoot,and 186 in shoes......he looks 5'11" whith 220cm shaq (is probably 215cm+5 cm shoes)..........

Viper says on 18/May/08
The guy was measured at 6-1.
Yeah and he doesn't look a hair over that. Viper says on 18/May/08
The guy was measured at 6-1. mee says on 18/May/08
he is not shorter than 6ft2... so could be 6ft2.5 or 6ft3... Dave says on 16/May/08
disagree with you people who say hes 6'1. I've taken a photo with him and i'm 6'2. He was taller than me, so most likely 6'3. BC88 says on 13/Apr/08
6' 1" sounds exactly right. The only way it could be 6' 3" is if he had big 2 inch shoes. Derek says on 1/Mar/08
Nash isn't 6'3", but 5'11" is way too low for him. 6'1" sounds fair. JWill says on 25/Feb/08
I watched the Suns vs. Pistons match up yestarday and when Steve Nash was guarding 6'3 Chauncy Billups, Steve Nash looked more like 5'11 next to him. No way is Steve Nash 6'3. Shaq is 7'1" says on 24/Feb/08
Found Amare's updated measurements after he grew
6-9 1/4 barefoot
6-10 3/4 in shoes
7-2 wingspan
249 pounds Shaq is 7'1" says on 15/Feb/08
If Marion is over 6'5" then that means Amare grew from the 6'8.5" he measured when he was drafted and I doubt that considering legit 7'1" Shaq towered over Amare by what looked like 5-6 inches. Derek says on 7/Feb/08
Marion is closer to 6'6". Amare Stoudemire was measured at 6'8 3/4" in 2002, but some say he grew. MP says on 26/Dec/07
Shawn Marion is no 6'5", he is a legit 6'6" to 6'7" while Steve Nash is about 6'0" to 6'1" and Amare Stoudemire 6'8" to 6'9" Kevin Durant says on 12/Dec/07

Shawn Marion is 6'5"
Dirk Nowitzki is 6'10"
Michael Finley is 6'5 3/4"
Nate Robinson is 5'7.75" joe says on 6/Dec/07
i met him before the suns-raptors game dec 5, 2007 and he was my height or slightly taller and im 6'1. He probably had bigger shoes on though, because he was game ready so I'd put him at 6'1 barefoot. Igor says on 18/Nov/07
Nate is 5'7.75 (1'72m), Nash is a 6'1 (1'85,5m)and Dirk i believe 6'11 (2'10,5m) Viper says on 14/Nov/07
Nate is 5-7-5-8 actually. anonymous says on 13/Nov/07
Just saw a game with the 5'9 Nate Robinson guarding Steve Nash. If Steve was really 6'3, he would have TOWERED over Nate with a six inch difference. But he didn't, Nash only looked a few inches taller then Nate. Nash is still a great player. scbanks says on 10/Nov/07
There is no way Dirk Nowitski is 6-10. He's 7 ft without shoes. Anonymous says on 30/Sep/07
Marion is only 6'5" Anonymous says on 9/Aug/07
Shawn Marion is actually like 6'6 1/4 Anonymous says on 2/Aug/07
Michael Finley measured 6'5 3/4, Steve Nash measured exactly 6'1, Amare Stoudemire measured 6'8 1/2, Dirk Nowitzki measured 6'10 and Shawn Marion measured a legit 6'7 Hajala Babala says on 13/Jul/07
Well maybe it was Kidd's dress shoes, but he looked big, bigger than 6'3. To be fair, I was a bit star struck and I didn't approach him and try to gauge eye level, just estimated the top of his head. Theodoros Plakadopoulos Maybe it was his shaved head making him appear taller also, but he sure seemed to have more way more than .75 inches on myself. B-baller says on 1/Jul/07
i saw Steve Nash in an intervieuw next to cedric ceballos. Cedric had easy 4 1/2 inches on him. Cedric ceballos is 6'6 AAAA says on 1/Jun/07
I also always wear cons when I am not in my fave frye harness or brando engineer's. I saw him in the gym so I was in my cons at the time. That could have been another reason AAAA says on 1/Jun/07

Nash is 6'1 1/2, he was standing next to me, i'm 6'3 1/2 and I was around 2 inches taller than him, I saw micheal Finley too, he is around 6'6 Duhon says on 28/May/07
Well that means nash is just short of 6'2". 6'2 3/4 is practically 6'3". Derek says on 22/May/07
AAAA- Kidd is a measured 6'2 3/4". Nash is indeed 6'1". There is no more than 2" between Kidd and Nash. AAAA says on 22/May/07
Kidd is listed at 6'4 in many places and I have seen him up close (he lives in Saddle River NJ and his daughter is in a kids class at the gym I go to) He looked as legit 6'4 when I saw him, not padded. I saw Nash up real close one time and he is only 6'1. I had an inch on him. Jason Lee says on 21/May/07
I dont see Nash as 6'3, jason kidd is listed as 6'3 and leandro barbosa is listed 6'3 so is nash on the nba site, but if u see photos of kidd and nash or barbosa and nash, nash is like 2-3 inches shorter. harris is probably 6'0 with long legs to make him look taller, and nash prob has a longer torso cuz his legs are short AH says on 16/May/07
It kinda weird. I love Nash but I dont see how he can be 6'3''. He doesnt look like a 6'3'' kinda guy. He doesnt have the frame for it. I have lots of friends who are 6'3'' and their legs are not as short as Nash (no offense). I would say that Nash is about 6'0'' to 6'1'' is the most. He just doesnt look like 6'3'' to me. random says on 11/May/07
harris is listed at 6-3 u noob....and how u know he's a legit..u have nothing to prove that...being 6 even and 6 1/2 is not much of a difference...it's pretty much the same thing....damn.... Beazer Holmes says on 7/May/07
looks about 6-1 to me. Lil Nash says on 19/Apr/07
harris is 6 foot 2 and steve nash is taller. i agree with NBA.com that he is 6 foot 3. AAAA says on 8/Apr/07
He is 6'1. I have actually met the guy. I was shocked I was taller, because he is listed at 6'3.... yeah and I am 6'4.....solid 6-1 guy though, real big looking head Viper says on 7/Apr/07
Nash isnt 6-0. He might look like that sometimes but hes a legit 6-1. Anonymous says on 6/Apr/07
ppl have told me he's 6"1...that is probably with shoes on...hes probably 6 even or a little over...6 1/2? maybe...devin harris looks taller than him by atleast an inch....devin is 6"1 3/4 without shoes...probably 6 "2 or 6"2 1/2 with shoes on...hard to find shoes that give u 2 inches Anonymous says on 6/Apr/07
i think hes more like 6 foot...cause devin harris is only 6"1 3/4 without shoes and hes probably a little over 6 foot with shoes on..since most give u just 1/2 inch more...and he looks nearly 2 inches shorter than harris Derek says on 24/Feb/07
Kidd is a little over an inch shorter than his listed height. Kenyon is only marginally under his listed height. The NBA never lists people as 6'8 3/4", so they round up. Anonymous says on 23/Feb/07
So Kidd is 6'3 and Kenyon Martin is 6'9? Kidd isn't much shorter than his listed height than. Anonymous says on 12/Feb/07
Ronanldinho is actually 5'9 3/4th. They use the 5'11 when he has his soccer cleats on. Derek says on 26/Jan/07
J-Dog, Kidd is 6'2 3/4" and Martin is 6'8 3/4". Kenyon uses his barefoot height. AZP says on 26/Jan/07
I saw Steve at a bar and stood right next to him, I'm 5'10 and he look about 6'1/6'2 tops. J-Dog says on 25/Jan/07
Steve Nash is probably a bit over 6'2" but I am not saying I even have a clue on his height as I haven't studied it enough.
You guys are forgetting I think the average NBA height is 6'6" I think Viper knows the real number, most guys who are 6'4" and below are going to look "small" near these guys.
Jason Kidd is 6'4" but if you look at him on the court near 6'9" Kenyon Martin he looks like a 6' player at times. G says on 16/Jan/07
I stood next to Nash last year at a charity event. We both had casual shoes on and he was definitely taller than me, but not by much. I just measured myself, and I'm right at 6 feet, 1 & 3/4 inches. I'd say he's 6'2" - 6'2.5" JT says on 13/Jan/07
Nash looked the same height as 6'3" Cheryl Miller the other night on TNT. Miller's height could be exaggerated of course. Derek says on 9/Dec/06
Phil- Even a legit 6'3" guy will look short next to guys that are at least 6'6"-6'7". Phil Davis says on 7/Dec/06
I have a bro that is around 6 ft 2 or 3. And I"m only 5 ft 10 1/2. I found out that Steve Nash (My favorite player) was 6 ft 2 or 3, I flipped! He looks tiny on TV, but in reality... He's taller than me! BASKETBALL'S EINSTEIN says on 12/Nov/06
hey have ne of you guys who sed he's shorter ever considered the fact that you(personally) don't know the difference between someone 6'0 and 6'3. firstly u CANNOT estimate someone's height without standing next to them or seeing them compared to someone else. also i'm sure he is measured accurately opposed to you who prolly do it at home or some shit like dat. di man 6'3 leave it at that! eva considered you might be taller than you think? Alex says on 11/Nov/06
6'1 plus basketball shoes=about 6'2.5 then rounded up you get 6'3. Thats how he is listed at 6'3. griswold 1 says on 3/Nov/06
saw Nash at a radiohead concert in Vancouver some years ago - stood right by him (by the way, super nice guy, no ego, friendly) - was barely taller than me (5-10 1/2) so would put him at 6' tops 6 footer says on 9/Oct/06
steve nash 6-1 ?? oh no, i am afraid he might not even be 6-1 in his shoes for crying out loud
whenever he stood next to his fellow pg teammate leandro barbosa, barbosa always look to have at least
3 inches on him, and leandro is also listed at 6-3, which will make steve 6 flat at the most
this site should do a thread about leandro barbosa too, most people (all of you included) just didnt
realized that barbosa is perhaps the only one in the nba listed at his true height, barbosa looks
like a legit 6-3 guy. jesse says on 3/Aug/06
they list him at 6'3 but hes roughly a head shorter than his team mate shawn marion(6-7) so id put him at 6-1 or 6-2 but hes still my favourite baller
yooooooo says on 24/Jul/06
stand beside him for quite a long time at his charity bball game in vancouver.
theres no way hes 6'3. 6'1 is probably correct Nashty Lover says on 10/Jun/06
My comment makes no sense, I must have not been paying attention.
What I meant was he looked to be 6'2 1/2" with shoes and probably 6'1 1/2" without shoes.
Nashty Lover says on 8/Jun/06
I met and had a picture taken with Steve Nash before a round two playoff game. It was pre warm up and he had on regular athletic shoes, not basketball, and appeared to be 5 1/2 inches taller than me. Putting him at around 6'1/2". So, I would assume without shoes he's about 6' 1/2" feet tall.
(I have to say he was one of the nicest and most humble people I've ever met, great guy! And so much better looking in person, hubba hubba!) deepestvoice says on 2/Jun/06
well, Bill Walton has been around tall people people for a long time and he always goes overboard with his commentary. So I doubt he mistakes 6'1 for 5'11 but I don't know for sure. I'll have to look at more pictures. Ozzy says on 2/Jun/06
Tony Parker is according to the french national team and his own web site: 6'1
deepestvoice says on 31/May/06
Monty, Tony Parker's not 6'2. Even Bill Walton said he was closer to 5'll. Steve Nash never looked 6'3 even though I do think he is at least 6'0. CoolJ says on 24/May/06
Ozzy: Where's your source on Ridnour's pre-draft measurement.. I cant seem to find it.
[Editor Rob: its listed on an nba.com draft page, 6ft 1 without shoes...] rj says on 19/May/06
Again, I met Steve Nash and IN HIS BASKETBALL SHOES he is 6'3". J-Dog says on 16/May/06
6'1" and you have to give him proper respect for being able to play in a giants game. D.J. says on 3/May/06
The man is no where near 6'3". To be honest, 6' is pushing it a little. He may not even be 6'. JT says on 14/Apr/06
Saw Nash last night with Craig Sager on TNT. Nash looked about 6'2" or 6'3" next to Sager, who's around 6'4" or 6'5". a.aL says on 10/Apr/06
I agree, nash looks shorter than steve francis or gilbert.. if u watched games pheonix vs. orlando he was much shorter than francis. I give him 6'0 or at Max 6'1 Jason says on 24/Dec/05
Steve Nash is 6'3''? What's next? Allen Iverson is 6'2''? Ozzie says on 13/Nov/05
More suprised with 6'9 Jamison in this pic. Yes I know he is standing a bit back, but still? Jimmyboy69 says on 11/Nov/05
ON average, basketball players are like 6'5"-6'7" but Steve Nash is definitely 6'3" T-B says on 25/Oct/05
Nash was listed at 188cm (6-2) at the 98 WC in Greece. The same listings had Magloire at 208cm (6-10), not 6-11. (See also the Jordan and Iverson forums). phast says on 24/Sep/05
Nba players' heights are all over the place. I have worked for many summer camps at my university's gym and some players match their listed height and some don't. Never met Nash but he does look way shorter than 6'3. I know that both Quentin Richardson and Richard Hamilton are about 2" shorter than their listed height but Desmond Mason of the Bucks was around 2" taller. He was w/ the sonics when I met him and would say he's close to 6'7. He's listed as 6'5 but towered over me and I'm 6'3 even. I don't understand overlisting a player's height...it doesn't make you play taller. My school's point guard last year, Joe Sea is listed 6' and is more around 5'9. Bigg says on 18/Aug/05
yeah this other girl told me she like met him and that he was like tall but not like wow tall she said he's like 6"1...she was still surprised because he looks short on tv...so did I and alot of ppl thought that...when there like looking on tv.. and I was like he's listed at 6"3....but he probably lied.. but i think he's 6 foot barefoot in my opinion Bigg says on 18/Aug/05
soo Steve Nash is 6"1 barefoot or is that with shoes on? because my old friend saw him in a game and said he was 6"1 but told me this other kid in my class was taller than him and he's like 6"2 barefoot probably 6"3 with shoes on....but no one really looks at a person and downgrade considering there shoes are on...sometimes CoolJ says on 7/Aug/05
Guess Mr. Amir was right. Kizzle says on 7/Aug/05
http://www.ibiblio.org/craig/draft/1996_draft/draft/22.html look at the bottom of the page were it says STEVE NASH. The article states that NAsh was 6'1" when he got measured for the draft instead of 6'3"
[Editor Rob: thank you my son, here is the quote for prosperity sake: "He looked very good in the predraft camps, other than measuring in at only 6'1"
instead of the claimed 6'3"] Amir says on 27/Jul/05
I play basketball in my homeland Turkey in underage leagues. i meet Nash last year, he is my idol. We stand at the same height, I am officially 184.5cm Viper652 says on 29/Jun/05
Sean May is 6-7 barefoot Ball-A-Hallic says on 28/Jun/05
Just like they do in the NBA draft which i've been watchin 2nite they boost a player up by 1 inch like Sean May was 6'81/4 they boosted him up to 6'9 so Nash was probally 6'21/4 n boosted up to 6'3 althought he doesnt look it but then again they r probally measured wit shoes on Cool J says on 21/Jun/05
He doesnt "quite look like" 6'1.5" barefoot either. This guy isn't even 6'1. Ball-A-Hallic says on 12/Jun/05
Steve looks like he's 6'1 or 6'1.5 I disagree he's 6'3 jus like Steve Francis and Gilbert Arenas there listed at 6'3 and neither look over 6'0 or 6'1 sp theose 3 r probally all under 6'2 JS says on 10/Jun/05
Wow, I think 187cm is a reach. Do you REALLY think he's 6'1.5" barefoot in that picture below judging that Finley is right around 6'7 with shoe son? JCS says on 7/Jun/05
I'd say we can safely downgrade him to at least 6'1... probably even 184cm. Hooleyman says on 7/Jun/05
I saw him in a bar in Victoria, Canada (where he grew up) and I'd guess he's about 6'1" since he was a bit taller than than my 6' buddy he was standing next to. Mr. R says on 6/Jun/05
For years, I have looked at this guy, and he was always just shrimped by everyone on the court, even some of the refs and commentators. I knew 6-3 was a lie, and I recently saw something that said 6 foot. My guess is he is between 6-0 and 6-1 at best! Ball-A-Hallic says on 6/Jun/05
I agree that Nash is like 6'0 possibly 6'1 u can jus tell he's not 6' he's never looked over 6'0 2 me. JCS says on 6/Jun/05
It is widely known Steve Nash is well under this listed height.
http://www.ibiblio.org/craig/draft/1996_draft/scout/pg.html#Nash
Although unofficial, this document lists him at 6'1", however Mike Greenberg and Tony Kornheiser have both stated he is 6 foot even (as they both proclaimed to be 6 foot and saw him at eye level.
I have seen him listed at 6'0 3/4" before, so I would say thats a fair guess. |
