Amar'e Stoudemire's Height
6ft 9 ¼ (206.4 cm)
American basketball player who played most notably for the Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks. At the predraft in 2002 (age 20) he measured 6ft 10 in shoes, 6'8½" in socks, weighed 233 pounds, with a Wingspan of 7'1 ¾".
In 2004 it was mentioned in one newspaper claimed "Suns forward Amare Stoudemire is actually 6 feet 7, or three inches shorter than claimed in the Suns' media guide. All Olympic basketball players are officially measured before the Games."
In 2011 Amare claimed "Leaving practice today. Measured in at 6'11" 260 pounds, with 7% body fat. I'm ready!! All that work on my back payed off, I'm now 6'11"....I'm totally tripping on the fact that in 6'11". Wow."

@Editor Rob: he’s more than just 2 CM shorter than Tim Duncan. The 6’9.25 is likely a morning height. More 6’8.75 with him

@Editor Rob: I think it’s fair to say that 6’9.25 is too much for him. He measured 6’10.5 in shoes at practice, not 6’11”. So that adds up with a morning measurement. I can buy 6’8.75” at his afternoon height. He did have a solid 4” on Kobe and he was 20 when he came into the league. Maybe a fair compromise is 6’9 although I doubt that’s his afternoon height. 6’8.75 looks most accurate.
Not the best angle

With 6’10” Tim Duncan (we both agree that’s Duncan’s accurate height likely close to an afternoon height if not bang on). Duncan has over an inch on him. And they only listed him 6’11 for the one season. He was back to 6’10 after that. He’s still listed 6’10” now. Maybe a mismeasurement or maybe it was 6’10.5 in shoes early morning like he alluded to

I’ll say he gained 1/4” and is 6’8.75” afternoon. He looks 6’9 at times but can look the weak 6’9 other times

@Recapa: yea I have him in the 6’8.5-6’9 range. He’s tricky but I doubt as tall as Rob lists him. I think 6’10.5 in shoes is his morning measurement before practice when he claimed to be measured and maybe 6’8.75 afternoon. He came in the league at 18 or 19 so maybe he gained a touch. He was 6’8.5 when drafted and really still may be that lol

If Amare was measured barefooted at 6'8 1/2 then why do you people think he is 6'9 1/4?

There is a little possible he grow taller in his 20s to 6'9 worst low but that means Chris Bosh had to be 6'10 1/4 a low not 6'10 as he claim so we can also see the possibilities that Bosh downplay small amount of height. Between Amare and Bosh is really solid 3cm. 6'9 1/4 i believe morning between 10-11am he surely got this measurement with a big confident.

weak 6ft9 for amare.dwight would slightly edge him out but i dont think thats it,d be a noticable difference.

@RJT: Duncan is 6’10” barefoot. I can agree KG 6’11 flat Dirk 6’10.5-6’11 perhaps. STAT 6’8,75 imho. The 2nd pic is weird. Horford isn’t that tall but he looks huge. I can buy his 6’8.75 being accurate from his pre draft for an afternoon height . Howard looks short too

@JD1996: 6’8.75 is the most I would buy. It’s possible Melo is between 6’6-6’6.25” range. 6’8.5 for Stoudemire is the lowest but I think 6’8.75 is fair. 6’9.25 morning height

Click Here This looks like a good photo to get an idea of Amares height. If Carmelo Anthony is 6’6.25” then Amare looks to be around the 6’8.75” mark as it looks like a solid 2.5 inch difference to me. Maybe he grew 1/4 inch after age 20 who knows 🤷♂️

@Canson There are some reliable picture prove that 6'10.25" Chris Bosh is more 1.25" taller. 6'8.75" would be a low for him.

@Junior: 6’9.25 is too high. I could argue that maybe he grew 1/4” from his draft measurement to 6’8.75 but no higher. He can look that with Bosh and with Carmelo Anthony and even Joe Johnson

@GreyV: I agree. I would’ve said 6’8.75 but if Galinari is taller. Maybe it’s the camera His 6’9.25 was a measurement at a morning practice too as was mentioned “after practice this morning”.

I'd say 6'8.5" at most for me. Here Click Here he is side by side with Danilo Gallinari who was 205cm in Europe and is now listed at 6'10" in the NBA.

@Junior: I don’t necessarily dismiss what Christian said. That pic with Melo is one but with Shawn Marion who is 6’5-6’6 (197cm range) he looks what Christian said. He did measure at that when he was younger. Maybe his posture improved. But either way 6’9.25 is a morning measurement as it was even said “this morning” after practice they spoke with him. It’s likely he was measured before practice. I think Rob has him overlisted either way. He’s not 3” taller than Carmelo. I think if he did 6’9” then that fits better but really 6’8.75 is the catch all to me

6'8.5" for Amare is fine. He measured it in socks at 20 years old. And I'm not trying to hear the "but he grew" excuse that some people make.

That 6'11 claim he mention thrice on his quote is silly while a real 6'11 1/4 guy like Tyson Chandler edge him solid 2" or more. Amar'e is more like max 6'9 or 205.5cm i would rule out.

@Editor Rob: here he is with Carmelo. That’s for sure not 3” difference. Melo has a low cut while he has thick hair. Take that away and he’s around 6’8.75 perhaps. Remember that the practice he measured 6’9.25 at was in the morning as it stated in the article. So half inch less makes sense. Melo is listed pretty accurately. Worst case 6’6 flat that means Stoudemire is probably around 6’8.5 or .75. I’d go with the latter since Melo is listed 6’6.25. But surely not 6’9.25 .

@Junior: because Kobe played a lot of 3 when Jones was there. Kobe was a 6th man for a while. Notice he was dropped back to 6’6” around when Jones left. They could be the same or even Jones slightly taller. I vaguely remember Jones measured 6’5.25 barefoot but that could be morning and you may be right 6’4.75. Vince Carter also was listed 6’7 at UNC and in toronto. He was said to be 6’5.5 barefoot but I don’t buy it. He doesn’t have an in shoe measurement next to it. Also Richard Jefferson said he’s 6’4.5 maybe 6’5 on a good day. Carter looks only marginally taller than Jordan and shorter than Dr J. Carter imho is max 6’5”. Maybe 195-195.5 but possibly only Kobe’s height

@Junior: not sure about Kobe. He said he didn’t grow after being drafted and that he was 6’5”. Likely that he was listed 6’7” because he played small forward a lot when they had Eddie Jones

@Canson Amar'e is a lucky fellow just like Kobe, AD, Dwight Howard and Durant supposed they all grow from half to an inch in their early 20s. Amar'e supposed to be measured at 6'8.5" he should be 6'8 flat lowest but grew to 6'9.25" that is a 3/4 inch gain and 6'8.75" a low. Most players only gain a 1/8-1/4 and many did not grow anything at all. One thing most people don't know that Kobe was only 6'4 when drafted comparison to a weak 6'7 T-Mac they use to look about 7cm difference and Kobe grow about an inch after that they look a bit under 2".

@Junior: Parsons isn’t 6’8.75 I doubt. Or 6’8.5. If a morning measurement maybe 6’8.25 which would make sense with Dwight Howard as that’s “approximately” an inch between them which may be like 7/8 or 3/4 in reality. That makes Amare more like 6’8 1/2 maybe 6’8.75 which makes a lot more sense with Carmelo. I can buy 6’8.75 but no higher honestly

@Christian: I agree! I think he was 6’10.5 maybe a hair over or maybe had an orthotic or mismeasured. That was later in his career too. I could see him being 6’8.5 when drafted and maybe that was a low maybe not but today if he really measured 6’9.25 which was likely in the AM (since they referenced it coming at practice), he’s likely 6’8.75 barefoot max. He looks any derivative of a weak 6’9” next to Tyson Chandler and Carmelo. While I haven’t seen Chandler recently (I did play against him in AAU and he wasn’t as tall as he is now I doubt), I can say firmly that from meeting Melo since he’s been in the league that he’s 198 range in person

@Rob: he likely measured taller in the morning. It is possible he grew though because we don’t know when he measured the 6’8.5 to begin with. If that were a morning height it would mean he’s closer to 6’8”. Most basketball players are measured at morning heights. For Stat, it wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t grow by the way. He was only listed at 6’11” for one season and then back to 6’10”. If he really maintained that he would be 6’11” on paper still and he was not after that one year. He even mentioned that he gained half inch or something on his “in shoes height”. That may have just been to 6’10.5 really and not 6’11” it also said as he was “leaving practice” which is also in the morning. So yea before practice he may have measured 6’9.25 barefoot 6’10.5 in shoes or even 6’10.75 or so (remember that he had long hair in New York) then he 6’8.75 at a low. Maybe he could look 6’9 range at times but because he’s a weak 6’9” barefoot. But I will say that Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony are two of the most legitimate listings here for basketball players. I’d be highly surprised if either is more than 1/4” off. Same with D Rose. Melo isn’t 3” shorter than Stoudemire in any pic I’ve seen. In fact it can look closer to 2” in some but most it’s 2.5”. That says more to Melo either being measured at a low or very near or to him growing.

Howard if he claimed 6’9.5 likely a morning height. The 6’9.25 for Stat isn’t unbelievable as I could see him measuring that in the morning. But I see more than just a 1/4” different between them. Stoudemire was changed to 6’11” one season then dropped back to 6’10”.

And with Melo he’s not 3” taller

For good measure here is Dwight Howard with 6’11.25 Brook Lopez. Sure Lopez may have been measured earlier in the day but he looks at least 6’10.75 next to Howard. I only say that because of the camera angle as it could be a full 6’11”.
Howard is still 6’9” barefoot

Editor RobThe question really is whether he did gain height from the 6ft 8.5 or not. I think he looks that range at times, but other times I thought he seemed more 6ft 9 range. I do believe he worked on his back and measured a bit taller.

@Rob: maybe 6’9.25 in the morning is possible. I don’t rule that out but my guess 6’8.5-.75 at a low

@Canson In quite numbers of picture he can look max 7cm taller than Carmelo Anthony and min 6cm. Lets point out Carmelo Anthony 198.5cm so 205cm might be what you say and a morning measurement as listed.

@Rising: we agree on Stat. I’ve met Melo before and stood right next to him. The people in our group for dinner all said he’s 1.5-2” taller than me. My impression was that he’s 2” taller but if I’m 6’4.25, Melo is 6’6-6’6.25 range. Rare because he looked closer to his pre draft height as it was likely in the afternoon that year. I’ve also met Keith Bogans and played ball against him and he’s close to that height 6’4-6’4.25. Kirk Hinrich also looked nearer his draft height in person (about 1.5-2” shorter than me). Prob call him 189cm. So you’re right with Stat that’s not more than 6cm tops maybe 5-6 really is how it looks. That puts Stat 6’8.5-.75 which I totally believe. Maybe he was like Shawn Marion and got measured later in his career in the morning. Marion has a 6’6.25 pre draft but is said to be 6’5-6’6” across the NBA which points to him getting measured near a morning height. I would call Stat 6’8-6’9 by the same account (weak 6’9).
@Junior: Howard claimed “i’m 6’10 in shoes”. Hedo is taller than me”. I don’t believe the latter portion but Howard being 6’10 in shoes and 6’9” barefoot is about right. Have to remember that he measured possibly in the AM and that while he may have grown it’s prob a solid 6’9”. I can maybe see 6’9.25

@Junior: no way. He’s at least 6’8.5 not 6’7 agreed. Shawn Marion was measured 6’6.25 but is said to be 6’5-6’6 really and Stoudemire looks 6’8.5-.75 max.
@Rob: Stoudemire is not 3” taller than Carmelo Anthony. That’s about 5-6 maybe a full 6 cm. That said Stoudemire looks 6’8.5-.75 max. The 6’9.25 could be a morning height if he really did measure that high. Maybe he is 6’8.75 but that’s max for him

@Rob: he’s not this tall. He’s 6’8.5 like he was when drafted

Editor RobYou think he's lying about measuring taller...I do think he seemed a guy whose posture wasn't exactly great, maybe there is some truth in that he did manage to measure taller.

The 6'7 claim in 2004 is ridiculous. He look at least 6'8 and he grow taller i believe its 3/4 max. But his 6'11 claim insisting it is BS. Dwight Howard look 1/2 on him and Dwight himself claim 6'10 and probably was 6'9 1/2 not over.

I don't know. I did read he grew from 6'8.5" to 6'9.25" after entering the league and I also remember hearing Amare had his back corrected while with the Knicks and measured 6'11", but I'm skeptical he ever grew past 6'8.5". Look at him with legit 7 foot Shaq:

There's a photo of the two when Shaq was still with the Lakers and he just completely towers over Amare. As it is, I can't see a mm less than a 4.5"-5" difference even in the first pic with Shaq's head down and standing a bit behind Amare. Here's Amare with 6'11.5" Tyson Chandler and 6'6.25" Melo: Click Here I'd guess somewhere in the 6'8.5"-6'9" range before considering posture from that photo, but Melo is not standing straight.

Does look 1/2 inch taller than 6'8 3/4 Chandler Parsons. Parsons could be 6'8 1/2 at low and Amar'e 6'9.

Editor RobThis guy is tricky...I think there is probably some truth in that he managed to measure taller than the older 6ft 8.5 he got.
